Album Notes On 2008's VIVA LA VIDA OR DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS, Coldplay follows up X&Y's accessible anthems by tweaking its signature Britpop sound with the aid of renowned producer Brian Eno, celebrated not only for his own innovative ambient albums, but also for his behind-the-boards work with U2. Eno's contributions don't result in a ZOOROPA-like foray into dance-pop, however--VIVA LA VIDA sticks with Coldplay's knack for mid-tempo majesty, but expands these tracks with studio bells and whistles that pull the group out of its stadium-ready comfort zone. Though the pulsing instrumental opener, "Life in Technicolor," might make listeners think that they're accidentally playing the latest M83 album, VIVA asserts itself as a Coldplay outing with "Cemeteries of London," a dreamy tune that finds Martin singing in a comfortable middle register. Still, the group's quest for a different sound is exemplified by the three distinctly different parts of "42," which range from piano ballad to post-rock workout, while "Violet Hill" boasts uncharacteristically amped-up guitars and crashing percussion. VIVA LA VIDA isn't Coldplay's most consistent offering, but it's still more unpredictable than past outings, and surprisingly intriguing. | Find errors in the product description?

Report this review Wow!!!!!Review created: 10/04/08 by: 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Coldplay shows why they are at another level at the moment in the musical world. Their unique style and multi-faceted texturing make this CD a near classic. One may not be blown away by the majority of songs on this CD at first listen, but after you have heard the tracks a few times, you realize just how great this band truly is. The song "42", begins in a mellow and beautiful arrangement and then jumps into a catchy jingle that you will sing aloud for hours. This is a great band and a great CD, I suggest you get a copy and enjoy!!! Review ID: 10000000008915994 Was this review helpful? Report this review Coldplays best album yetReview created: 10/02/08 by: nanpaullawny ( 9 ) This is coldplays best album by far. They are begining to play more rather than realy on singing alone with a simple backing music. I love every single track on this album though there are only 10 they are all worth listening to and understanding. I found that every time I listened I discovered new and interesting aspects in every song. I highly recomend this album well worth the money. Review ID: 10000000008883678 Was this review helpful?
