That post made my day, Chelsae!!

 

The music is sure to be great, and that's all that matters, like others have said, but this is my least favorite title so far. X&Y was mathematical and scientific, so I thought it suited Coldplay. With titles like Cemeteries Of London and Violet Hill, Viva La Vida just doesn't gel for me...but I'm repeating myself...and besides, who cares if I don't like it? We have an album, an release date, and possibly the single announced! YAY!:D:D:D

I'm not so sure on the album title, but more worried about the first single, just becasue I don't like numbers for song titles! Coldplay will put me right though! I instantly loved X&Y as the title of the last album, this one will take time to grow on me I suppose...

 

But all that really matters is the music, and thats going to be phenomenal!

AROBTTH as an album title did bring some 'CSI'-like thoughts to me...until I heard the song. Hahaha that changed everything.

Coldplay Gone Ricky Martin?

Coldplay's Chris Martin has confirmed the title of their fourth album as 'Viva La Vida' and no, it's not after Ricky Martin's hip shakin' hit but after a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

 

The name for the forthcoming album - containing rumoured tracks 'Lovers In Japan' and 'Strawberry Swing' - came about when the band's vocalist saw the phrase, which means 'Long Live Life' on a painting by the acclaimed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

 

As Chris explained to Rolling Stone, Kahlo died in 1954 after battling back problems and polio:

 

"She went through a lot of shit, of course and then she started a big painting in her house that said 'Viva la Vida'. I just loved the boldness of it."

Hitting back at the the obvious likeness to Ricky Martin's pop smash 'La Vida Loca' - in name at least - he added:

"I’ve been through this before, naming something or someone and everyone saying that 'That’s a terrible name', but then saying, 'Well, fuck you, that's what it's called, and I’ll be proved to be right eventually'."

 

Despite the somewhat dubious naming choice, any of Coldplay's fruits are most warmly welcomed and this one should fall from the tree on June 16.

I just think viva la vida is way too cheesy to use as a title - it sounds like something the cheeky girls would come up with, never mind Coldplay!

 

But anyway i still can't wait to hear some new material whatever it is.....

its the end of coldplay

its the end of coldplay

 

*gasp* Oh my God!! You are so right, Dejan!! This is the end of their careers, for sure. What's the point of even coming here anymore now, it's not like there will be anything of significance anytime soon, or the future! Why don't we all just LEAVE?!? :rolleyes:

^ Haha, love that reply :laugh2:

annie, you make my life.

Haha you are too kind. :P

And for some more relief don't forget to click here:wideeyed:

I hope I've understood this correctly:

Yes, you've got it right. Maybe with this video it will be ever more clear. The video is taken from the day we celebrate our independence day. The president goes to a balcony at the National Palace and starts saying the names of the men who gave us our independence ("Viva (name of the guy)", and then the crowd yells back with a "Viva"; finally he says "Viva Mexico" and thats it. Obviously the president kind of overacts the screaming and yelling cus you know, he is supposed to be the man who leads the country and must show he is a 'strong' guy who can handle it as well, you know what i mean.

 

Despite all of the things Frida lived she even said "Viva La Vida", which considering the circumstances it was something like "shit happens, but life's still great", and that what I think Chris loved about that.

guys check the official website it seems that they dont know what name they are gonna put the album they have two options:

 

- viva la vida

 

or

 

- Death and all his friend

seriously, when i last checked the site there was no "P.S." :rolleyes:

Personally...I don't like the title. Hopefully the songs will be good and make up for it.....Chris seems to have taken over really......

 

this is my little homage to the name.... :)

Hahahahaha.

viva la vida loca makes more sense in spanish :P

its the end of coldplay

 

You spoke too fast . . .

I can see they haven't chosen the name yet in their website. If at the end they decide to name it "Viva La Vida" I think that'll be a really good decision because of all it means!

 

Viva La Vida is, as hugo already said, "shit happens, but life's still great". It's the meaning of life! We have to enjoy our lives even if sometimes we've being through many difficulties. Because sometimes we think we can't continue living or that our lives make no sense, but that's not true, life is so fucking great and God doesn't give us anything we can't handle! We always can keep on trying, and if we think life is great despite the problems, thus, we can really say... Viva La Vida !!! (VIVA!)

 

I also love that title because I'm from Monterrey, Mexico and I'd be really proud that my favorite band name its new album taking into consideration something that is coming directly from my country.

 

But anyways, as some of you have said before, at the end the title is just the way the album will be known, but what is really important is the music it has on it!

 

Greetings!!!

that's a terrible title! i'm totally devastated... it's so cheesy and cliche! i'm very disappointed with this choice cause i was loving the title of the songs etc. it drastically changed all the image i had in mind about this album.

 

i know it's very personal, but for me it looks like chris is loosing all his sense of ridiculous!

 

frida's paitings are fantastic but... oh my god!

So... Prospekt told us that the album title might be different.

Death and All His Friends. Or Viva la Vida.

The first one sounds dark and the second one seems more like the opposit.

I like DAAHF better :P

Viva la Vida?

 

 

Oh shit....

this is where the fun begins.:lol: Call it Death and All his Friends!
