Cold play new music

Coldplay made the leap from indie favourites to worldwide success a few albums ago, which has only increased the buzz around their latest release: Viva La Vida. The title single has way more crunch and less falsetto than we’ve come to expect from the boys, but the album is full of their typically intricate, graceful rock songs laden with piano and Chris Martin’s soulful vocals. Viva La Vida comes with a bonus track.
U2 new album out
Last Updated on Thursday, 06 May 2010 21:55 Written by Brummie Sunday, 21 March 2010 11:52
There are only so many ways a band can reinvent itself before arriving full circle. That’s why it’s not surprising that the 12th studio album from U2, “No Line on the Horizon,” is not the great rebirth the band was promising. And that’s all right. “No Line,” released officially Tuesday (March 3), combines the creativity of two of Bono and Co.’s most radical albums — 1993’s “Zooropa” and 1984’s “The Unforgettable Fire,” with some by-the-book U2. It’s not a 5-star product along the lines of “The Joshua Tree,” “Achtung Baby” or “All That You Can’t Leave Behind,” but Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. prove they are not irrelevant. The album is strong enough to be in the second tier, with “Zooropa,” “Pop,” “Rattle and Hum,” and “War.” Most people no doubt already heard “Get On Your Boots,” the grammatically incorrect, scatterbrained first single. This is the oddity on the album, the only real fast-paced rocker. The other 10 tunes are stronger sonically and lyrically. Why did U2 pick it as the first single? Probably because there are no other traditional radio singles. The shiniest gem is “Moment of Surrender,” the third track, which is the coveted spot on U2 albums; others that made the third spot include “One,” “Elevation,” “With or Without You” and “New Year’s Day.” MOS is a mid-tempo ballad that opens with a loop of Moroccan hand drums (the band spent part of its recording time in Fez, as well as Dublin, London and New York), rolling bass line and an Arcade Fire-esque organ. Bono’s voice on the song is the best he has sounded in years – easing fears, after the band’s performance at President Barack Obama’s pre-inauguration concert – that his voice was shot.
