Bump of Chicken "Hello World"

So, if you get the feeling that Coldplay's new work is interesting but not quite making the cut, Japanese Pop-Rock group Bump of Chicken is rocking the same tone and doing it much better.  Unfortunately, their producers haven't figured out how to get the lead singer's vocal to sit in the mix, however, if you're into stuff like the Killers, Fallout Boy, and Owl City, the band's blend of rock and synth is a joy, and the unexpected transitions on tracks like "Hello World" should expand the ear of any rock fan.
