Maybe you were looking forward to it, and maybe you weren't. Either way, the fact that it's going to sell about a million copies makes it newsworthy, I guess. The British alt/soft-rock giants are releasing another album, as previously reported here, only now it has two potential, more-than-working titles. Get ready for these:Either Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.
Okay then....so anyway. There is no tracklist to speak of just yet. All we know is that Brian Eno is behind the boards on this one, and that the band wants to keep it short: 9 tracks (apparently they will trim down the 13 songs we have heard mentioned by name) that will clock in a little over 40 minutes. And apparently, the Latin influence goes further than just the title - whether that's a good thing remains to be seen; they say it's subtly executed. Hmm. It seems like Coldplay understand the error of their last efforts ways, as they made it a point to say on their website that "the music...has integrity. It's real and honest. There's no posturing or bombast."
