What did you think of Coldplay on SNL last night?
I thought "Yellow" was great -- just 4 guys really playing their instruments and Chris Martin singing a little out of breath with no guiding vocals. Unfortunately, the show cut off before their 4th song. As far as "Viva La Vida" and "Lost" though -- overproduced, pretentious and disingenuous. Why do I say disingenuous? Because half the music we were hearing was pre-recorded and Chris Martin was singing along with his own pre-recorded voice. Plus, I have to admit, I find "Viva" to be just an annoying song, and Coldplay's last album isn't nearly as good as the three before it (especially ROBTTH and X&Y).
