Coldplay- Viva La Vida - direwolf74 - 06-19-2008

Picked it up yesterday, and it's pretty damn good so far. The songs are well-written and it's cool to hear them experimenting with their sound a bit more. Brian Eno is all over this album.

Chris Martin is really exploring / using the lower end of his vocal range much more than on the previous records.
Its getting pretty shitty reviews...
But then again... who cares.
There are some tunes I'm digging.

It's definetly no Parachutes.

Upon first listen, I thought it was atrocious. But since my wife is a fan and I've subjected her to so much music that she loathes, I figured I should give it another chance.......and I have to admit it is growing on me.

I gave Viva La Vida the spin it was entitled to last night, and the two songs that struck me were 42 and Death And All His Friends... but Strawberry Swing was definetly the most enjoyable song of the album for me.
Still...
its no Parachutes .

It definitely took a while but I've come around on this album. It's not their best work on the whole but it's decent nonetheless. Death and All His Friends is the only track that really stands out for me.

It's no "Rush of Blood to the Head" either. But it's still decent. Their performance on SNL a couple weeks ago was awesome. The new songs sounded good, but "Yellow" brought the house down.

Coldplay just released a new single from the Prospekt's March EP.
Really cool song (if yer into Coldplay...) with a really cool video to boot.
