Customer Review

Starting COLDPLAY have to PARACHUTES as indie band that was already too big, catchy melodies capable. In A Rush of Blood to the Head, they borrowed a little U2 feeling and thus made the breakthrough. X & Y was against it from almost pure pop and made the boys to CHRIS MARTIN superstars. Because it would close but the calculus, the way continues to tread and "X & Y 2" record. But keep that COLDPLAY not made - they have not gone the safe route. Instead, they have worked with their past successes, the freedom to do what they want. Clearly, they do not now fully heady music like Radiohead (why, the band is already) and they also have otherwise not reinvented the wheel the music. Many more have Chris Martin (vocals, piano), Buckland (guitar), Guy Berryman (bass, keyboards) and Will Champion (drums) expanded their sound, added new influences and it conjured up a tasty music Shake, called VIVA LA VIDA OR DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS.

The most serious change is before the song: sing CHRIS MARTIN earlier usually in very high altitudes, so he relies on VLVODAAHF more its natural "voice and for me that is a plus, it just sounds more relaxed and natural - also it is likely his career. get longer, because the high singing is extremely exhausting for the vocal cords. The second important change is sitting on the producers chair and listens to the name BRIAN ENO (U2, among others, Peter Gabriel) and Markus Dravs (including Arcade Fire) in the long run . The two have COLDPLAY apparently made to think about what they want with their music: maximum success or would rather be happy yourself?

COLDPLAY chose obviously the latter. Since clapping, experimenting with flamenco rhythms, the band also opened for influences of world music and making the guitar sound ever to Sitar. But the music can always accommodate great tunes and hymns, for which the band is known. But only briefly, and then to put a musical roadblock and to surprise the listener. All this is not really new, but it gives the music a little back from her spell. It is unpredictable than X & Y, less direct than A Rush of Blood to the Head but catchy (meaning public) as PARACHUTES.

In this respect, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends is actually "DAS" COLDPLAY album because it takes style elements of its predecessors, modified, provides you with new aspects, new approaches ventures and the listener takes you on a journey through the music cosmos that is, he will not soon forget. Should BRIAN ENO have a similar success at the next U2 album, he would have been two of the major pop groups before preserved to become self-plagiarism.
