Chloe_Martin Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Viva artwork is the best in my opinion I painted it for an art project and I couldn't believe when I saw it was the Viva cover :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrd Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I don't really agree with any of the options in the poll. I don't like the artwork, but I also didn't like some other artwork for Coldplay so I can't even say that it's the worst so far. I especially don't like the way the title is written.

taameen**sparks** Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 What's wrong with liking Viva? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infogatherer Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think the artwork is decent compared to the previous album covers. Pretty avant-garde like ARoBtHH and X&Y. I must say though, I got a chuckle when I noticed the far left letters read "Moo" from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ainsley Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I thought I'd hate the album artwork, but seeing the album cover changed my mind. I actually like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'd like to quote briggins on what the artwork looks like... "it looks like someone ate candy and threw up" And whoever thinks this artwork is the best of all time has rocks in their head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanHH Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Looks great, as it's really colourful and will stand out on the shelves! From best to worst it'd be something like this for me. Viva la Vida Parachutes Mylo Xyloto AROBTTH X&Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayBlop Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Personally, I love it. =) It looks like it has so many messages built into it, like lyrics and probably different graffiti by different artists. It has a lot going on in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 With AROBTTH it's their best album cover. It's vibrant and colourful which I expect the album to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Kids On The Block Revival?? Sorry, I didn't mean it directly. It's just I think the album cover is unusual compared to what I see today in terms of album covers. Mylo Xyloto just reminds me of the style of ARoBTTH and X&Y, and how they sort of represent the album sound. With the songs I've listened to so far, the cover sort of matches the sound pretty well.

Cleggy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think more thought was put into the other album covers, this looks like a bit of a mess. But the one thing that's true with all the album covers is that they sum up the music inside excellently. Parachutes is quite a dark and depressing album but throughout the songs there's always a sense that the light is still shining and everything will be ok in the end. The album cover shows this with the bright spinning globe surrounded by darkness. A Rush of Blood to the Head has a very simple design which represent the simple, minimalistic ideas in the songs. There's very few layers in the songs in the album. X&Y is quite colourful but still relatively simple. Again, the songs on the album match the cover. The songs are more diverse than on the previous albums but they still retain the simplistic elements from previous albums. Viva la Vida is basically just an existing painting that shows the French Revolution. The overall themes of the album (revolution, war, etc.) are shown quite clearly on the album. There's a lot going on in the painting, just as musically the album is quite complex. So if the past covers are anything to go by, the cover will probably be more appreciated after the songs on the album have been heard. This cover suggests that the music is diverse and complex. From what we've heard this is probably correct. Most of the interviewers that have heard the songs have commented on how the music 'doesn't stay in one place for long' and is always changing. So yeah, that's my take on it :) One thing I will say though is that I don't like how the title is written and overall I much prefer the alternative 'MX' cover.
