Yesterday news hit that Coldplay were giving out a free MP3 of their first Viva La Vida single, "Violet Hill." So today I ventured into the inter-space to download the track via the Band's Web site.
After being asked for my email, zip code and country of origin I was told to check my inbox for a link to the download. I ran into minor technical difficulties. The link kept demanding a password and user name to access the download. WTF ? After cutting and pasting the given download link into my URL box it finally worked and Voila!
Let me know what you think...
Well, the one thing that's going for it is that it doesn't really sound like Coldplay. Aside from the singing, it sounds like pink floyd, boston and a little popular american country.
Could possibly be this terrible case of influenza, though.
not digging it.
I think Eno was a good choice for producer (I think he is producing here) and it doesn't sound like Coldplay trying to one up themselves. An unlikely single which I also think
is cool. It's a bit odd in a good way.
I never liked Coldplay, and now like them even less lol....sorry. It does sound like the newer Floyd stuff tho....not exactly a good thing.
Being indifferent to Coldplay I can't say I'm enamoured but they get an A for moving forwards and not repeating what they already done. The Eno influence is all over this in a very positive way, but Chris has been listening to too much late period Floyd.
It's easy to dump on these guys but full credit for growing as artists.
I like Coldplay, and I like this track. Although I do have to admit that I don't like to admit I like them. Thanks for going through the hassle of getting this!
i like coldplay, have seen them live...don't mind admitting it...but nope, do not dig this track....lacking that new flavor...
yeah...they need to sound more spacey and oooh-ey and ahhh-ey
