Coldplay - The Prospekt’s March EP
Coldplay’s new EP, The Prospekt’s March, contains several new songs, and three alternate versions of songs from their previous album, Viva La Vida.
The first track is Life in Technicolor ii, a remake of…you guessed it, Life in Technicolor. The original was one of my favorite songs from Viva La Vida, and I wasn’t to thrilled to hear that they added vocals.
The new version is almost two minutes longer, and the only noticeable difference is the addition of Chris Martin’s voice. Where the original song is beautifully subtle, the sequel isn’t as impressive.
Postcards From Far Away is a relaxing piano solo which is a great addition to the album. It flows right into the next song, Glass of Water, and the two tracks complement each other well.
The inclusion of Jay-Z on the new version of Lost (Lost +) doesn’t excite me in the least. The song is as boring as ever and Jay-Z’s lyrics are ludicrous. If you’ve ever heard the original piano version of this song, you’ll wonder why they ever added anything else.
I didn’t really enjoy the song Rainy Day, but the title-track is an obvious winner. The acoustic guitar/vocal beginning is moving and can really pull at your emotions. This song reminds me of the classic Coldplay songs we all know and love. The final song, Now My Feet Won’t Touch The Ground, is similar to the X&Y closer, Kingdom Come. It’s alright, but nothing spectacular.
Recent news has come out that the band will be releasing a live album for free on the internet. I’m sure that some of these songs will appear on that album. Be sure to check out my recent review of Viva La Vida (Click here) .
Sincerely,
BW.
