Coldplay's Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends arrives here on CD, the 2008 album where the biggest band in British pop decided to get restless.
After three albums of soaring piano ballads, Chris Martin and company went looking for new colours. Brian Eno came aboard as producer, the band swapped some of their trademark melancholy for strings, hand percussion and painterly sound design. The cover, a Delacroix painting of revolution, set the tone for an album full of kings, wars and ghosts.
The title track Viva La Vida is the obvious headline, its pounding timpani and swooping strings telling the story of a fallen ruler over a melody that refuses to leave your head. Violet Hill brings fuzzy guitar and a darker edge, while Lovers in Japan / Reign of Love glows with a tack-piano shimmer before folding into a hushed second half. Strawberry Swing is all sunlight and chiming guitar, a gentle exhale before the closing title piece.
It rewards listening front to back, with songs bleeding into each other and hidden passages tucked inside tracks. Coldplay proved they could take risks without losing the crowd.
For anyone tracing the band's arc, this is the hinge between the early years and the stadium spectacle.
