Coldplay - Viva la Vida...or Death and All His Friends
For their fourth studio album, Chris Martin and company enlist the producers of their two favorite bands: U2’s Brian Eno and Arcade Fire’s Markus Kravs. A smart move: Eno brings an adventurous desert vibe to “Yes” and “42,” with their North African strings and percussion, while Kravs adds choirs and swelling church organ to songs like “Lost!” As usual, Martin mixes euphoric, sweeping pop with such darker, cautionary tales as “Cemeteries of London.” It all adds up to Coldplay’s biggest and boldest statement yet.
