Overall, I'm pleased by Coldplay's latest. HOWEVER, if you think I'm being overly critical, you should hear my rants about 99.9999999% of the rest of the music that I have been subjected to and tortured with over the years. Pepper?), and a few that suggest to me a hasty trip from concept to final mix. Pepper (but who HASN'T borrowed a page from Sgt. There are a couple of tunes that sound like they borrowed a page from Sgt. Nice layering of sounds, but it sounds canned overall. It's arranged in a way to make it a depaparture from typical pop/rock drivel, and I like its bass pulse: solid without being bombastic. The song "Viva la Vida" was stuck in my head by about the fifth time I saw the stupid iTunes commercial. I probably wouldn't be so critical had I not been expecting considerably more from their new CD. At least Coldplay aren't a ripoff (well, yes, they do bear more than a passing nod to U2, but I mean ripoff in the "you've been robbed" kind of way).at worst you might feel like you spent too much on the CD - you won't be wondering why you bought it in the first place. But, then again, the same might be said about U2, and look what they've accomplished. Chris Martin has a nice voice, but not an inspiring one. Regarding their most recent release, the lyrics are interesting, the melodies pretty, the songs epic in scope, but rather pedestrian when all the synthesizers are stripped away. But Viva la Vida is extremely overexposed, and Coldplay have long been riding a tidal wave of mediocrity over the heads of the consumers. Most rap, most country, most rock and DEFINITELY most pop.
One that i'll be wearing for a while.Ĭustomer Review: If it wasn't so overhyped, I might be less critical.Ĭoldplay is good. all songs have a crunchy revolutionary anthem feel that fits Martin like an old leather coat.
Chris Martin singing 'you didn't get to heaven, but you made it close/you didn't get to heaven, but you aaa. However as chart toppers go, this one is straight from the heart, and will remain on my playlist for a long time.
"Viva La Vida" follows the hugely successful album "X&Y", which has sold 10 million copies since its release in 2005.Ĭustomer Review: Why did they paint on the Delacroix?Īs with most all uber-hyped pop albums, this one doesn't go deep and raw enough to be fantastic (if it did, it would make too many enemies). The album comprises 10 brand new tracks, recorded in London, Barcelona and New York with producers Brian Eno and Markus Dravs. Coldplay release their fourth album "Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends" on Parlophone.
