My Review of Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends
I made a review of the new album a while back for school, I thought I would share it with you!, here it is:
Life In Technicolor (2.31) - An Instrumental opener which is just as good as any of the other song's on the album, with brilliant guitar riffs and trademark Coldplay pianos! 9/10
Cementries of London (3.21)- One of my favourite songs on the album with a very dark feel and a VERY catchy chorus 'la la la la la laaaaay', Alot different to some of Coldplay's previous songs! 10/10
Lost! (3.55)- Another one of my favourite songs with brilliant lyrics and a great beat it's alot like some of their previous material which is in no way a bad thing, if you get a chance to hear the acoustic version, do because in my ipinion, it is better! 10/10
42 (3.57)- Spine Tingling and AMAZING, I havn't yet chose my favourite song for the album but this is definetly a contender for my favourite, I can't explain but it is brilliant, it is one of my all time favourite Coldplay songs! 10/10
Lovers In Japan/Reign Of Love (6.51)- My least favourite song on the album but still very good, it's got a bit more upbeat and happier feel to it and the second part (Reign Of Love) is beautiful! 8.5/10
Yes (Chinese Sleep Chant)(7.07)- The beginning of this song is AMAZING...and so is the rest! This one is also in two parts, both VERY different, Yes is brilliant and well constructed while Chinese Sleep Chant is faster and includes alot more 'heavy' guitars taking the lead with the vocals taking a back seat...AMAZING! 10/10
Viva La Vida (4.04)- This Could be my favourite Coldplay song ever, with a brilliant orchestra and AMAZING LYRICS AND CHORUS, This could also be one of my favourite songs on ALL TIME, Spine Tingling and Breathtaking, this is Coldplay at their best, just listen and be in awe! 10/10
Violet Hill (3.50)- If you havn't heard this song yet- Where have you been?. Their first single from their album is a fun 'thumping' song with lots of drums and some of the brief moments of Chris Martin's trademark Falsetto vocals with a playcount of nearly 100 on my iPod, you can guess how much I like it but if you have only heard this song YOUR IN FOR A HELL OF ALOT MORE! 10/10
Strawberry Swing (4.10)- The happiest song on the album which will make you feel so happy and makes you think of a perfect summer day! So LOVELY and brilliant I LOVE IT! 10/10
Death And All His Friends (The Escapist) (3.49)- An amazing, catchy and slower song featuring Chris and his piano first and then it climax's with drums and guitars, a brillaint closer for a brilliant album! 10/10
CLOSING COMMENTS: One of the best albums I have ever heard, everyone should listen to this and EVERYONE HAS TO listen to the song 'Viva La Vida' which I think is one of the best songs ever made, A BRILLIANT, SHORT ALBUM, It's hard to explain in words, you have to listen to it to understand! It come's out in UK on June 12th and soon after everywhere else!
