Feeling incomplete after Coldplay released Viva la Vida?
Well, they have responded with a second half EP, called Prospekt’s March.
Released Nov. 24, this eight-song 30-minute album is the end everyone has been waiting for.
Some repeat favorites from Viva la Vida make an appearance, but with a new twist.
Life in Technicolor went through one of the most major changes.
When this song was originally released it was simply musical with no lyrics.
Life in Technicolor II so apply named, has lyrics.
And once it is heard with lyrics, it is hard to imagine why the original was ever released, not to mention the first song on Viva la Vida.
Following Life in Technicolor II, is a nice little piano ditty.
Then there are songs about water, and rainy day’s. Each is true to traditional Coldplay form.
This short album is just what the doctor ordered.
The songs are upbeat, fun, and they just feel like Colplay.
It mimics the style of their early music back in the days of their album Parachutes.
The middle of the album is the title track Prospekt’s March/Poppyfields.
This song is a nice slow ballad, which shows off Chris Martin’s amazing range.
He has really stretched his vocals for Viva la Vida and Prospekt’s March, proving once again that his talent is one of a kind.
The other song on this album that went through a pretty major overhaul is the song Lost.
This is now the third version of this song Coldplay has created.
The first is Lost! on Viva la Vida, then Lost? an acoustic version and now Lost + featuring a special guest: Jay-Z.
In the middle of the song Jay-Z starts to rap.
At first it seems odd, given the nature of the other two versions of the song, but after a few listens it really fits.
Even if a person does not like rapping, this song will still appeal to them.
It is not overdone, and it works well with the overall feeling of the album.
The other repeat track on this album is Lovers in Japan.
This is the only repeat track that does not seem any different than the original.
The only noticeable difference is the addition of some background singing, helping it continue to hold its status as a great Coldplay song.
The end of this album is very chill, mimicking the end of many of their albums such as X&Y, Viva la Vida, Parachutes, and A Rush of Blood To The Head.
There is not a Coldplay album that does not end with a very relaxed song.
After months and months of waiting and wanting more from Coldplay it is now here, and in true Coldplay.
Any fan of Coldplay would be smart to add this album to their music library.
