New Coldplay Album Preview - listen here
Typically I stray away from reporting on bands as self involved as Coldplay, as their level of pretentious douchebaggery utterly offends me, but there has been such a lack of new music lately, so here we are. I felt that I owed Chris Martin, since Gwyneth Paltrow was pretty entertaining in Iron Man. That is the best way to get airplay on Bn'R. Marry a chick who is able to counter balance Robert Downey Jr.'s Methadone dosage in a hit action movie, and your music will get pirated on a third rate music blog that has recently gotten some awesome props, mostly due to our Director of Web Content, Craig Wettner.
Hopefully, Joe Wettner will forgive me for posting a song written after the bicentennial, not to mention by Coldplay, who I have never heard him acknowledge. I can not imagine that Joe is a big fan of Martin & Co. but he has surprised me before (worst nutcheck ever!!).
Here is the lead single, Viva La Vida, from their new album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.

Who are Coldplay? I might check them out if they open for Ted Nugent this summer.
Does the new single remind anyone of Jean Valjean from Les Misérables? Anyone? Am I speaking again with a dick in my mouth?
Shut up I am cultured!
No, fag
Another hater. I guess I have to explain my feelings.
The album artwork is "Liberty Leading the People" by Delacroix. That painting was to commemorate one of the very few French military victories...which is a moot point because it was the French Civil war. Naturally, the French had to win.
If you take a look at the painting, which I have since I been to Louvre, many social classes are represented. This suggests a solidarity between the haves/have nots or the bourgeoisie/plebs. Something that didn't exist in 19th Century France.
It is claimed that Delacroix, is the boy holding the pistols. Well that boy was the inspiration for Victor Hugo's Gavroche in Les Misérables.
What does this have to do with the album? I think we will find out in the lyrics. So far I have heard Violet Hill and Viva La Vida and they both are about war in some fashion.
Viva La Vida is about a king who used to be on top of the world, but is now a dreg of society. Which is the antithesis of Jean Valjean who was dreg and rose up to become the mayor.
I'm waiting for Uncle Rex to add his 2 cents to this one. Actually, I'm going to go get this one for Uncle Rex since its getting far to intellectual in here. This entire argument should be rendered null and void since it is not possible for the French to win the French Revolution. Everyone knows the French have no stomach for a fight. They both lost. The Nazis won the French Revolution. Getting dragged to pansy plays by your girlfriend doesn't mean your cultured, you're just going throught the motions to get fucked. Getting dragged to pansy plays by your mother means your cultured. Touche.
What haven't the Nazis done?
I was going to say that the Nazis haven't founded a sovereign Jewish nation in the Middle East but I think they did that by accident. Wait, those bastards haven't figured out how to make reliable power windows...other than that I've got nothing.
Vic, this is what happens when you mention Cold Play. Now we're in a girly-man catfight. Its like the barfight scene from Flight of the Intruder but instead of Ving Rhames feeding men to alligators, it just an argument over who is girliest. Can't we just talk about things that we agree on...like the fact that Ted Nugent rulez! Carve that on you desk...
I love Viva La Vida is one of my fave songs of Coldplay.
