Now for something different... I'll take my hate for Chris Martin and his band of Industry puppets to this Tribe. Maybe I'll find someone agrees.. or the least bit of interest i have, Being the Music nut i am.

Today I found THIS article. A Piece of pure musical Douchery.

Coldplay Indulges Experimentation On Fourth Album

Coldplay lets its creative flag fly on its fourth studio album, "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends," due June 17 via Capitol. "We're still obsessed with making songs that can be sung to the rafters," frontman Chris Martin says. "We just wanted to present them differently."

To accomplish that goal, the group turned to co-producers Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, who adorn the material with grandiose embellishments the likes of which have never been heard before on a Coldplay album.

"Viva La Vida" begins with a strident instrumental, "Life in Technicolor," built as much on an arpeggiated synth foundation as it is on an acoustic guitar melody. The same instrumental is tacked onto the final song, "Death and All His Friends," as a hidden track dubbed "The Escapist."

In between, the band frequently breaks from verse-chorus-verse constructions, particularly on "42," which is comprised of three distinct, seemingly unrelated sections. "Yes" shifts from a string- and tabla-driven rocker into a shoegazer-y breakdown, while a funky groove emerges from out of nowhere in the middle of "Death and All His Friends."

Elsewhere, Martin and the piano are at the forefront of the shimmering "Reign of Love," while "Cemeteries of London" conjures a foreboding vibe apropos of its title and "Lost!" swells with massive-sounding church organ strains.



Drummer Will Champion credits Eno with upending Coldplay's usual working habits in the studio. "Brian has this amazing ability to demystify wonderful music and make it seem very achievable," he says. "We weren't afraid to try anything."

Coldplay recorded a number of other songs that did not wind up making the final track list, including "Postcards From Far Away," "Lukas," "Rainy Day," "The Goldrush" and "Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground," but it's unknown if they will be released in some form down the road.

Here is the track list for "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends":

"Life in Technicolor"
"Cemeteries of London"
"Lost!"
"42"
"Lovers in Japan"/"Reign of Love"
"Yes"
"Viva La Vida"
"Violet Hill"
"Strawberry Swing"
"Death and All His Friends"

Anyone familiar with Coldplay and their History understands that band didn't really hit it big and avoid one hit wonderment until AFTER Chris Martins marraige to celebritard Gweneth Paltrow after, what i'm sure of, she trapped him by getting pregnant. PLUS anyone who's an Admirer of the fine band Radiohead (A celebrity favorite. When a Celebrity wants to appear hip and interesting they name drop Radiohead latest album or if RH will play at Hollywood bowl, They'll show up with bells and whistles "Look at me, I taste in MUSIC") Understands that Coldplay crafted their work soley on early Radiohead, and have answered to this is press. Chris Martin even went so far to Cop Thom Yorke and company's Interest in all things political by becoming...well Political. Radiohead are well known for being the challenging "art rock band" who are always doing something interesting....and for "that Ok computer album...and the Follow-up KId A which reached number one it's first week in October 2000, and had not a stitch of traditional press or singles, and forever altered the bands sound. Music Critics worldwide are sometimes privy to refering to a prominent band releasing an Artsy flat out wierd album following critical mainstream success as Pulling a "kid A".

That said after releasing two previous albums that sounded alike, selling out tons of venues and becoming modern Rock radio fodder...Coldplay decides to get with...Brian fucking Eno? and release an album with two titles... that's Challenging.

Me thinks Chris Martin is trying to prove himself as a "serious" musician after Paltrow fucked all that up for him. Granted I think the band actually HAS talent. Their the chewable digestable version of radiohead. Maybe i'm the only who finds this hilarious.

I digress.
