That song sold AROBTTH for me. It's flawless.

me tinks so.
the beginning.....has Oasis touch to it.
I loved the X&Y album, esp Clocks........
You're incorrect twice, so that's great.
Oasis wishes they could do something as fresh as Viva la Vida. Trust me, it takes a lot for me to call Coldplay fresh, but goddamn.
And Amsterdam pwns everything.

tell ya all what, see their videos? I thought Talk was a tittly bit strange, and thought that was a stand-in woman for the The Hardest Part (but I love those songs).

I honestly don't know what's going on anymore.
Another great song, but it's not by Coldplay:
Love Me Sexy by Jackie Moon. Check it out.

This album is great... I'm shocked after X&Y that they could be this original. My favorites so far are Strawberry Swing, Lovers in Japan, and Cemeteries of London. You can hear Eno all over this!

P.S. This album, in terms of overall quality, originality and depth makes HTDAAB look like a joke. U2 better have stepped up their game for the new record, cause Coldplay's just given them a run.
Only bad song on the album is Viva La Vida... makes me want to puke.

Cemeteries of London is my favorite at this point.

You can also hear Arcade Fire all over this.

I could only catch that comparison on Lovers in Japan, but apart from that, not so much.

War Child
I agree... I hear some Arcade Fire in there, sounds like a Haiti beat... but with a Power Out style guitar underneath.
You realize that is the overall favorite track on the album by most?

War Child
Ok? I think it's cheesy, campy, and for the most part it feels forced to me... I don't like the lyrics, and I think it's a weak track. Some of the synths are cool... but doesn't save it. I'm not hating on anyone else for liking it, I just don't see it myself.

Plus, it's early. In time he may learn to love the song or he may not. I think that speaks for all of us.

Sigh.
Fine. Despite the popular consensus Viva La Vida is not the most cracking tune on Coldplay's cracking new album because I say it isn't. That's a fact. It's science.
Happy now?

I agree it does sound forced and is the second worse song on the album, trying too hard for that rousing chorus. Violet Hill is the only track I skip as its pretty crap. Shame really as the album is fairly good. Death and All his friends is a really great song.

I've got it pre-ordered, can't wait to pick it up on Saturday.

Some extraordinary quotes 'ere:
From Coldplaying and the Daily Mirror:
Interesting.
Christopher also reckons that the idea behind Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends is that we (the listeners get to decide what the title is called). Interesting.

Well if its up to me "Death and all his friends" is by far the better song, so I would say thats the better title for the album!

I love the album and all, but Martin really needs to stop with the ridiculous U2 comparisons. He's just shooting himself in the foot when he does that. I understand he admires them, which is great, but admire them from a greater distance.
At least he recognizes other good bands, though.
