 Today is the day! Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends has arrived! (Yeah, I'm old school; I still love buying CDs.) Those who know me know I'm a mega Coldplay fan, so generally whatever they do is amazing to me. Heck yes, I love those Chris Martin collaborations with Jay-Z and Kanye West! (Though, I have to admit X&Y is my least favorite of the albums.) They have returned triumphantly, and I'm love with this album. It's going to be on repeat forever. Chris Martin had mentioned the first 3 albums were a trilogy and this fourth one is the start of another. Man, Brian Eno rocked his producing magic. The sound is different for Coldplay, and I am seriously digging it. I remember Chris Martin saying that this album will it make okay to like Coldplay again, haha. I love how honest and self-deprecating he is. I'm loving the revolution-influenced lyrics, the Latin American and Spanish influenced sounds (they recorded most of the album in Latin America and Spain)... I'm rambling now. I think what I wanted to say is that it feels like a weight has been lifted and that the sound feels... freer. The previous albums had a heavier sound which I really liked, which defined them as Coldplay. But this is a step in a new direction and I like where it's going. This is going to sound silly, but for me, I find that it's reflective of my life. Free. Yeah, I love this band. No TrackBacksTrackBack URL: http://www.toastier.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/243 |

I'm a crazy Coldplay fan too. It's the first real CD--like, the kind you can hold in your hand--I've bought in a while. I've loved everything they've done, and I love this one too. I dig Chris' self-depreciating thing also. Once when I saw them in concert he came out and said, "Hi, I'm Chris from the band Coldplay," like there wasn't an arena full of people waiting for him.
