Free Music Review: A Bookend to "Viva la Vida"
Hit: 5 Stars
Like many other Coldplay fans, I enjoyed "Viva la Vida" - but it felt like something was missing. What was missing was the second half of the album, now released as an EP called "Prospekt's March". While some of the songs are the same, the new releases far surpass anything on "Viva la Vida", including that album's title track.
Both records open with 'Life in Technicolor', but the new version of the song is finished with lyrics. Another highlight is 'Glass of Water', a brilliantly crafted piece about optimism. 'Rainy Day' is a bit quirkier, with a Beatles' vibe to it. 'Prospekt's March/Poppyfields' could have come off of U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind", though that certainly doesn't detract from its feel. And 'Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground' is a near-acoustic masterpiece.
Any downsides to the EP? Sure. As others have said, Jay-Z's vocals on 'Lost+' are offensive, and don't really add to the song. And while the new remix of 'Lovers in Japan' is nice, it's not a whole lot different from the original. Still, the album is far and above anything Coldplay has ever produced.
If "Viva la Vida" was autumn leading into a cold winter, "Prospekt's March" represents spring after the snow melts. The two records are great bookends to each other, though this one is the better of the two. If you have "Viva la Vida", you really need to hear "Prospekt's March" to understand the brilliance of Coldplay's latest masterpiece.
