Standout Tracks: Viva La Vida / Lovers In Japan/Reign Of Love / 42


As you may tell from all of the previous posts on Coldplay, I've been anxiously awaiting this record. Now that I've had a few listens, I'm kind of torn. I don't love it, but it is pretty good and definitely growing on me. The band have delivered a newer sound on this record, however, I'm not sure if that is all because of Brian Eno's doing. As of now, I do think "Viva La Vida" and "Violet Hill" are the more solid standouts, but who knows what a few more listens may bring. Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends is out today via Capitol.


* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.
