I don’t think I’ve ever written a CD review…I’m so impressed with Coldplay’s newest release that I wanted to share a few words with you.
Coldplay picked the one person who would make all the difference. Brian Eno, who along with Flood, shaped U2′s sound and longevity over the years.
With Viva La Vida, Eno helped Coldplay create an “album” instead of a collection of singles. The sound is mysterious, haunting, enthralling, and emotional. There’s life, suffering, exploration, love, and introspection in each note and lyric. Eno successfully evolved and rescued Chris Martin’s words from irrelevance to thought-provoking. He breathes new life into the franchise and its future.

I have never been a Coldplay fan, I have actually found Chris Martin’s falsetto attempts quite feeble and rather annoying. But somehow, I have found myself drawn to the music on Viva La Lida. It is actually a step in the right direction for the band. Fantastic background music to have on while guests are over for dinner. I take my hat off to Coldplay for their progressive approach.
what are the name of the songs in order? on there new album viva la vida?
