    Blogcritic Finally Reviews 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends'

    vivalavida.jpgBlogcritic magazine has finally got round to reviewing Coldplay's new album, 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends'. Here is said review:

     

    I've joked with friends and co-workers that Viva La Vida is either the first U2 record we're going to hear this year or the best U2 record we're going to hear this year. Many critics thought Coldplay had Radiohead ambitions when they first hit the scene, but it's been increasingly clear over the past several years that Chris Martin has Bono envy. Coldplay took another step towards emulating their heroes by hiring the legendary Brian Eno – U2 co-conspirator being only one of his many brilliant accomplishments — to produce their new album.

     

    I groaned when I first learned of this. I like Coldplay (not be the coolest thing to admit) but I've been on board since Parachutes. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Eno, but feared this was going to be a step in the wrong direction. I wanted the band to change up after X&Y — their weakest album — but blatantly copping U2 seemed to me the wrong path, and that's how I prejudged this collaboration.
