Call it both. Make both sides happy.

yeah!

 

:dance: :dance: :dance:

 

 

finally!

 

 

 

But... 'Viva la vida'?? :\

YES!! I am itching to hear new songs! So excited!

Say these two titles were people.

 

Would you rather hang out with Death And All His Friends, or Viva la Vida?

 

I, for one, would rather hang out with the last guy.

 

Okay, maybe that doesn't mean anything.

But I still like Viva la Vida more.

 

I'm tired of depressing Coldplay. You can be thoughtful and still be fun and kick ass.

Coldplay LP is La Vida Loco

Published: 19th March

Going loco... Chris Martin

 

 

EVEN CHRIS MARTIN admits he has a dodgy record when it comes to naming things. Kids APPLE and MOSES spring to mind. Now he’s gone and called the new COLDPLAY album Viva La Vida. And he’s not even bothered people will think the title is a tribute to snake-hipped, Latin pop merchant RICKY MARTIN.

 

Unsurprisingly, the influence comes from a much more high-brow source.

The Spanish phrase — which means “long live life” — was influenced by the late Mexican painter FRIDA KAHLO, one of MADONNA’s favourite artists.

Chris explained: “Frida went through a lot of s*** then she started a big painting in her house that said Viva La Vida. I just loved the boldness of it.”

But it is the echoes of Ricky’s cheesy breakthrough hit Livin’ La Vida Loca that are weighing heavy on the mind of the bookish frontman.

 

Chris conceded: “Everyone thinks it comes from Ricky Martin, which is fine. I have absolute respect.”

 

Coldplay album titles have always been slightly unconventional. The lads called their first collection Parachutes and their last CD was X&Y.

Terrible

 

And that’s before we get on to the names he conjured up for his kids with wife GWYNETH PALTROW.

 

In an interview with iconic rock mag Rolling Stone, he admitted: “I’ve been through this before, naming something or someone and everyone saying, ‘That’s a terrible name’, but then saying, ‘Well, f*** you, that’s what it’s called and I’ll be proved to be right eventually’.

 

"So when Viva La Vida came along I was kind of annoyed because I’m going to have to convince everybody of this — but it just felt right.”

 

The album is due out on June 16 and is reportedly a radical departure for the four-piece.

 

Guitarist JONNY BUCKLAND said: “We felt like the first three albums were a trilogy and we finished that, so we wanted to do something different.”

There has been talk of a Spanish flavour to the music, which would justify the title. And Chris added: “Whether or not it’s good, we started to use more colours.

 

“It’s impossible to please everybody and it took us a while to learn that. It’s just the freedom to say, ‘Everyone might not like this. We’re into it at the moment, so let’s just get it done’.”

 

As long as it doesn’t sound like Ricky Martin...

Why am I not surprised...It's from THE SUN!! :laugh3:

 

And Emily, I do agree, I like Viva La Vida better. It has more life and color and appeals more to me.

i reckon VLV & DAAHF may have something to do with how it sounds...

VERY interesting album title I'll say, but the appeal is not really the words itself, but the fact Coldplay have decided to use it. It just seems a little odd, and in turn, quite intriguing. I'm sure our guys know exactly what they're doing, they got away with X&Y afterall (lol).

 

But jokes aside, this 4th album has been loooooong anticipated so whatever they named it would've come as a surprise/shock etc to many people, particularly their fans who have been eyeing the updates for any clues as to what the title would be. It does, afterall, say a lot about the tone of the album as well as the direction the band have taken.

 

There's no changing what the title is now, so I say - Viva La Vida all!

 

Ahem, so can have the album now... please? :D

Too much emphasis on ricky martin...and there aren't very many "normal" album titles. I don't find X&Y and parachutes to be that strange(weird they didn't bring up AROBTTH).

I think..:

 

1. Parachutes: Nice

 

2. A Rush of Blood to the Head: Brilliant! My favorite album title!

 

3. X&Y: Short and sounds proffesional

 

4. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends: :dizzy: Confused...

I like Viva La Vida... as celebration of life... it make sense, and in connection with the name of the album´s songs I think it´s perfect... And we all have to wait the lyrics of the songs too in order to understand all the concept of the album... thats my very particular opinion... hehe

 

With respect to Vive La Vida Loca... it refers like you have to live a crazy life... it has no connection or sense with Viva La Vida or Long Live Life

You know...I never understood why people went around bashing his kids' names. That's so mean to the children. =/

 

It's one thing to talk about his album title choice, but you don't talk about kids like that.

Well you have a good point here... I think that the album´s name reflects all the meaning and, specifically, the message that the artist try to send to all the people at the moment that he, she or they presents the final album to the world... at the end its an art work or master piece... when you talk about real "artist" I mean

Because the press don't care about who they hurt. If they want to bring someone down, call someone fat, slag off names, make up a story that you're have marriage problems based on one photo of you NOT walking down the street with a huge smile and a sign that says "YES, I'M STILL INTIMATE WITH MY OTHER HALF" then they will :rolleyes:

what i'm gonna say it's not because my native language is spanish and because i'm from latin america... i'm being objective and trying to put on chris' mind,....

It doesn't matter what language you wanna use to just express something you're completely proud of presenting!... Even it's spanish its meaning (of VIVA LA VIDA) is totally the same if u wanna say it in italian, english, portuguese, chinese... what's important is to know its real meaning... that's a happiness expression, cheers for men and woman, for children, for all of us who are losing our target of living like, of enjoying what's REALLY important... LOVE, PEACE, HONESTY, admiring a child smile... ENJOYING ELEMENTS LIKE THE WATER IN THE SEA, THE WIND, THE FIRE... and OF course.. feeling the souls of the people...

RICKY MARTIN?...oh pleeeeaseee.. this is COLDPLAY... THEIR HIPS MOVEMENTS RELATED with their subliminal music ARE DIFFERENT;)...LOL...

i really like the new album title - i like how it's different and i'm really excited for the new album! i totally trust coldplay and i know how talented they are -- i know i won't be disappointed :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE YOU WILL CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Viva la Vida !!!

cant wait for the album

so it looks like it's just plain viva la vida now, huh?

 

i like that MUCH better than the full-blown VLVODAAHF, but i think i would have liked just DAAHF better.

 

gahh, i need to stop complaining. THIS IS A COLDPLAY ALBUM!!!! :dance:

I would personally prefer Death and all his friends, but Viva La Vida is fine, didnt like it at first but will get used to it :P

If the DAAHF was just a subtitle though it could still be the whole thing and Prospekt just didn't write it.

 

Guess we won't know til the artwork etc is done. :(

^I totally agree with you. I think the exact same but we wont know for sure until Coldplay comment on it. Prospekt is a dodgy geezer. So unreliable. Theres not 1 post where all Coldplayers arent left with a big question mark on their heads. If I find out who he is....:sneaky:

^^ it's just because we're asking and expecting to much from him...

 

I like Death and all his friends better too.. but yeah i'm not going to complain now :P

^Why not? Its so great. You should try it.

will it keep myself busy till the next LP4 updates ? :P
