doglips wrote:So a few listens in - two ( good, especially the reprise of Life in Technicolour ) secret tracks, prog rock leanings and influences, skyscraping guitars ( Edge comparisons ahoy! Inevitable, but Buckland is definitely forming his own sound ) a smattering of Far Eastern keyboard effects ( I read somewhere they must have been watching Lost In Translation while laying some of these tracks down - about right....) all adds up to a great Coldplay record.
It doesn't quite nail everything it attempts but as an excursion from X+Y staleness they are poised to produce a classic pop-rock record next time round. 7/10 for the album ( might go up...) 9/10 for effort!

Pitchfork wrote:But Viva isn't a complete overhaul á la Achtung Baby or Kid A; just as they dull the sharp corners of their legendary influences musically, Coldplay offer a diluted version of the "experimental" mid-career maneuver with their fourth LP. It's a case of well-honed troubleshooting that should keep the faithful conscious enough to appreciate its subtle improvements.
Ever self-deprecating, Martin offered his band's thesis to MTV a couple weeks ago: "We look at what other people are doing and try and steal all the good bits," he said. "We steal from so many different places that hopefully it becomes untraceable." That last bit is probably wishful thinking. For their "new direction" album, Coldplay hired the egghead responsible for more new direction albums than any other producer over the past 35 years, Brian Eno. The move isn't original, but it's smart. A self-described "sculptor" with a tendency to chip away rather than augment, Eno helps Coldplay reverse their bloat in favor of a slimmer sound; the anthems remain but they're no longer bogged down by incessant refrains and overdubs.

Coldplays' melodies really aren't very complex and so its only a matter of time before there are similarities. If you believe the YouTube, they've stolen from everyone from Kraftwerk, Alizeé, Billy Joel, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and of course Radiohead. You could spend all day dissecting these things but really, what's the point?

Maui wrote:Speaking of ripoffs, I still can't believe Warren Zevon isn't suing the pants off of Kid Rock for "All Summer Long". The comparisons (melodies) between "Werewolves of London" are just too freakin' obvious. Shameful.
theunforgettablefire wrote:Eh...the similarities are there, I suppose, but I think the odds that Coldplay listen to Jo Satriani are pretty low. I guarantee it's just an unfortunate coincidence that Joe'll use to his advantage, since he has nothing else going on in his life at the moment.
