The scramble for tickets is just insane. Thousands of teenagers and adults battling on TripAdvisor to get good seats. And after a couple of stressful moments, no more tickets! Isn't it so funny. This is the Coldplay that is doing duets with Rihanna and Beyonce, this is the Coldplay that releases EDM records. It's a very different Coldplay to that of 2005.
These two are from the album 'X + Y'. My dad used to have this in the car the whole time so I had months of listening to the album nonstop - but that was years ago. I hit shuffle on Spotify and heard Square One - the opening track, one I recognised instantly from the distinctive riff.
Square One is a very interesting start to the album - the synth combined with loud guitars gives the band a very unique sound. The track really builds up. The guitars pick up pace and the song is very lively heading from the chorus into the second verse. There's a James Bond-like riff to follow every line. It's one of my favourite Coldplay songs, take a listen:
Press play on track two of the album. Another fantastic track - What If - which starts as a sombre, quiet piece but really builds. Chris Martin's wide range and distinctive tone is prevalent in both songs.
Coldplay too often get press for being a lacklustre band. Perhaps, while they have recently dueted with the major faces in the world of showbiz, their mundane personalities don't quite match those of typical A-list celebrities.
But where's the boredom here? These are two fantastic tracks from a really wonderful album. Viva la Coldplay!
