Coldplay review: the old ones are still the best By Neil McCormick Last Updated: 12:14AM BST 17/06/2008 At the end of a gig heralding the comeback of Coldplay, the anointed heirs of U2 for the title best band in the world - a group on whose slender shoulders rest the hopes of ailing record company EMI; singer Chris Martin enthusiastically announces the unveiling of "something super extra double special". This turns out not to be a duet with Gwyneth Paltrow or a version of Let It Be with Paul McCartney on bass but drummer Will Champion offering a fragile vocal to an obscure acoustic ditty. For a 30 million selling supergroup, there is something endearingly gauche about Coldplay. The 5,000 capacity Brixton Academy may qualify as a small venue for an arena band with stadium ambitions, but they tackle it with the slightly gormless enthusiasm of a college group playing for friends in a student bar (albeit with a better light show). When not playing keyboards or guitar, Martin hops around on one leg and waves his arms about, like a cross between an over-excited child and a bad mime. He forgets lyrics, tells jokes punchline first, hits bum notes and makes the cardinal showbiz sin of drawing attention to mistakes by apologising for them. Even when he does pull off a seamless segue into Trouble, he is so pleased he interrupts the song to boast about it, thus ruining its seamlesness. All of this is to their benefit. Coldplay have a strength of character – friendly, excitable, charming and passionate – that success cannot erase. It is one of the reasons their audience feels so connected to them, reacting warmly to their unstarry anti-charisma. The other (and more significant) reason lies in Martin's songs, carrying noble, passionate sentiment on waves of melody and monster choruses. Wisely, despite having a new album to promote, they deliver most of their big hits, albeit not always as the audience might expect to hear them. Taunted by critics for their soft rock comfort zone, Coldplay are in a bit of an experimental phase, which stretches to playing Yellow as a country ditty on banjo and harmonica. But as long as the audience can sing along, these songs carry the day. The new material is not always so effective. A few songs (notably Lost and Viva La Vida) have tunes that will break through any layer of sonic obfuscation but others just feel like self regarding padding. Concluding with the childlike African influenced ditty Strawberry Swing is distinctly underwhelming and the mood was only restored by an exultant singalong version of their hit Fix You. This is a set that is rough around the edges and has some way to go before it will be ready to take around the world but it was impossible to escape the conclusion that the old ones are still the best. I suspect the new album may come to feel a little thin on repeated play. Coldplay have all the tools to be the biggest band in the world but they will have to decide whom they serve: their muse, the critics or an audience that, on this evidence, just want big songs they can sing along to. Coldplay need to realise there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and stop trying to fix what ain't broke. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/2141900/Coldplay-review-the-old-ones-are-still-the-best.html
