Here's some reviews of Electric Six, fiN (again) and I Dream In Colour I've done. Sadly my opinion that Chris Martin has "had his soul sucked out" was removed in the latter, probably because The Fly thought that Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto deserved four stars. Then again **** can stand for a lot of things: for example ****ing **** could also be used to describe Mylo Xyloto. I'll leave you to fill in the blanks.
Maybe I'm being unfair; after all Coldplay are an easy target that a lot of people love to hate. I must not be enough of an intellectual to understand the musical equivalent of organic brown rice.
On a more positive note I have loved I Dream In Colour since their bare beginnings, it really pained me to slag off their emerging resemblance to Coldplay but it had to be done. Here's their website: http://www.idreamincolourband.com/ which on its home page currently features a photograph of the band bathed in sunlight as they stare into the distance in a reflectively melancholy manner. They do wonderful soppy slowies and creepy heavy stuff to boot. Strange but true.
