Jdckcom Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi everyone! So Viva La Vida is and will always be my favorite album by the band and after hearing this record I could not stop thinking how much listening to this new music made me feel reminiscent of the wonder and excitement of the VLV era. I know there are many diferences between this two records and that many of the songs do not compare well against each other but I wanted to try anyway so I came up with this: Life In Technicolor vs. Sunrise Cemeteries Of London vs. Church Lost! vs. BrokEn 42 vs. Trouble In Town Lovers In Japan vs. Daddy Reign Of Love vs. WOTW/POTP Yes vs. Arabesque Chinesse Sleep Chant vs. When I Need A Friend Viva La Vida vs. Orphans Violet Hill vs. Guns Strawberry Swing vs. Èkó/Cry Cry Cry/Old Friends Death And All His Friends vs. Champion Of The World The Escapist vs. Everyday Life I would like to read what do you guys think. For me, Viva La Vida will always be my favorite because of what it meant to me at the time but now I have to admit that this new record it's coming surprisingly close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold003 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 To me VLV is Coldplay at their best, so we are in the same boat. But for this comparison, I will easily go with every side of VLV except for Arabesque and Trouble in Town because I find these better than Yes and 42. I love Yes but Arabesque is phenomenal, I didn't stop listening to it since the release. 42 happened to be my least fav VLV track so I will give it a go.

Carolina* Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Life In Technicolor vs. Sunrise Cemeteries Of London vs. Church Lost! vs. BrokEn 42 vs. Trouble In Town Lovers In Japan vs. Daddy Reign Of Love vs. WOTW/POTP Yes vs. Arabesque Chinesse Sleep Chant vs. When I Need A Friend Viva La Vida vs. Orphans Violet Hill vs. Guns Strawberry Swing vs. Èkó/Cry Cry Cry/Old Friends Death And All His Friends vs. Champion Of The World The Escapist vs. Everyday Life 7:6 (in Viva's favor)-not bad! Some of these were really hard (I'm not really a fan of The Escapist or EL, and on the other hand I felt bad choosing something over Arabesque but Yes is literally one of my favorite Coldplay songs) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Life In Technicolor vs. Sunrise Cemeteries Of London vs. Church Lost! vs. BrokEn 42 vs. Trouble In Town (so tough to decide!) Lovers In Japan vs. Daddy (another tough one!) Reign Of Love vs. WOTW/POTP Yes vs. Arabesque Chinese Sleep Chant vs. When I Need A Friend Viva La Vida vs. Orphans Violet Hill vs. Guns Strawberry Swing vs. Èkó/Cry Cry Cry/Old Friends Death And All His Friends vs. Champion Of The World The Escapist vs. Everyday Life VLV: 9 EL: 4 It's too early, though. Maybe it will change over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42Escapist Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Life In Technicolor vs. Sunrise Cemeteries Of London vs. Church Lost! vs. BrokEn 42 vs. Trouble In Town Lovers In Japan vs. Daddy Reign Of Love vs. WOTW/POTP Yes vs. Arabesque Chinese Sleep Chant vs. When I Need A Friend Viva La Vida vs. Orphans Violet Hill vs. Guns Strawberry Swing vs. Èkó/Cry Cry Cry/Old Friends Death And All His Friends vs. Champion Of The World The Escapist vs. Everyday Life Viva: 9 Everyday Life: 4 Yeah, I definitely prefer Viva. But, in Everyday Life's defense, several of the matchups in which I chose a Viva song were pretty tough decisions to make. There are a lot of really strong tracks on both albums.

Yes/Arabesque was literally two of the best Coldplay songs clashing, but I'll go with Arabesque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
