If it is true that the Coldplays are for a long time by now considered the new U2s, it was inevitable that sooner or later their road was crossed with the historical producer of the 4 Irishmen, that Brian Eno that the greatest successes of the band of Dublino you/he/she has signed. Open this rightful parenthesis is immediately to close her/it well and to say that the fourth album in study of the more fortunate English band of the last decade doesn't play to the U2 but a lot of Colplay.
Martin and partners in fact you/they have set aside for a long time the direct and effective music of the debuts to go toward more elaborate and complex sonority, embracing in full the philosophy of those bands that you/they aim to evolve in the time without remaining too you anchor to if same. And if a part of this walk had been traced with the precedent job in study "X and Y", "Long live You Vida Or Death and all his friends" introduces him as the ideal continuum to explore the new sonorous universes that the Coldplays have wanted to pursue in the last them experimentations.
It first of all needs to say that the last work in study detaches for its homogeneity unlike his/her predecessor, that it lost too much him among different passages (also of good invoice) among them.
Long live You Vida, succeeds well contrarily in his/her intent to want to communicate with a same language the tones of a job, that of certain it needs repeated listening to be recepito to the best.
The positive feeling that the album pervades emerges since the first trace, the instrumental one "Life in Technicolor", that grows thin plain pian to explode in the end in a windmill of sounds and emotions. "Lost", with the slow his/her incedere, penetrates until after all the soul with the perfect melody traced of Martin that amalgamates to the perfection with the foundation of organ and percussions. And also when it seems that to become protagonists is here only the voice and the notes of the piano that the passage brakes and brusquely develops, as in the case of "42" that it perhaps has the only defect to resemble too much to that "Barely Legal" of the colleagues of overseas Strokes.
The desire to surprise however is still behind the angle and here that behind the passages "Lovers in Japan" and "Yes" hides him some traces hidden ("Reign Of Love", "Chinese Sleep Chant") that nothing they have to that to see with the above you quote songs, giving that pinch of surprise that a pleasure always stays to discover while it is being devoured with avarice an as job for a long time attended. The strong dish is served later immediately, with the title track "Long live You Vida", the second drawn out individual, that a real jewel remains thanks to the intensity of the interpretation of Martin and the sonorous carpet characterized by violins that the tallest point of the job they represent.
Before reaching destination him it passes for the first individual Violet Hill, that that perhaps more it is hooked style to the old Coldplay, the sweet and happy-go-lucky one "Strawberry Swing", that squeezes also the eye to the Beatleses in the title, thin to reach the last chapter "Death and all his friends." The circle however he/she is closed indeed in the ghost-track escapist, that he/she leaves again really from the initial point, "Life in Technicolor."
In substance even if the Colplays change skin they don't betray their true essence, that of band that keeps on making music with heart and with passion. And even if this job hears again some lack of a passage symbol as "In my place", "Yellow" or "Fix You", he is not able some to say that the band has lost its ability to excite and to make taking on the masses.
Only the time will tell if this album will be a point of arrival or only a point of departure toward new frontiers, but some is that with "the Vida Lives" the star of the Coldplays keeps on shining and to remain a firm point in the international musical panorama.
