Death and All His Friends

Coldplay has a new album out; "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends"
And it is some of the greatest music I've ever heard - most notably the song "Death and all of his friends". Their style is so much different in this album and I wondered why... its so 'other-worldly'... ambient... space-like... metaphysical. All thought words described it.

So i looked up the producer for kicks and it's Brian Eno. That explains it. I think Coldplay mixed with Brian Eno is one of the greatest blends I've ever heard. Do yourself a favour and listen to "Death and All His Friends" - if you like it... or like me, can't help but love it, then give the rest of the album a go. It's incredible original... all of it. Each and every song, the album artwork, the beat arrangement, shifts in melody. It's very different for Coldplay - but still branches from their roots. You will not be disappointed.
