Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin revealed that bad critics about the band's music are devastating for them, decreasing their moral.

Chris, 28, married with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, confessed that, although "X&Y" had good reviews and great sales, the bad critics receiver from The Rolling Stones and New York Times really affected them.

Martin told the New York Post: "The truth is it really does affect us.

And this is the first time that we've responded to it. That's why we're having trouble knowing how to answer.

There's no harm admitting that you're human and these things bring you down. That New York Times thing, yeah, it was f***ing devastating for us,'" Chris added.
