: Music review, Coldplay at the Vic
: By Joshua Klein
: Aside from Radiohead, which occupies a unique place in the pop scene as the
: current international arbiter of cool, Brit-pop just isn't making much headway
: in a U.S. market still saturated with teen pop and hip-hop. Any assessment of
: so many other U.K. superstars reads like a qualitative retelling of the
: Goldilocks fairy tale. Travis? Too nice. Oasis? They try too hard. Blur and
: Pulp? They don't try hard enough. Starsailor? Just try to tell them apart from
: everyone else.
: But something about Coldplay seems to be just right. The band's debut album
: "Parachutes" was a sleeper hit, even landing the band a top-40 hit with
: "Yellow," much to the barely disguised envy of Coldplay's peers. Coldplay,
: for its part, possessed just the right balance of ambition, talent and
: accessibility.
: Indeed, Coldplay's upcoming "A Rush of Blood to the Head" picks up right where
: "Parachutes" left off. Recorded in the same studio with the same producer,
: the album's indelible first single "In My Place" was apparently the only song
: left over from the "Parachutes" sessions. Hoping lightning will strike twice,
: the band is in the midst of a short preview tour to build anticipation for
: album No. 2, and if the reaction at the sold-out Vic Friday night was any
: indication, the band's set for a sophomore success.
: The setting Friday admittedly skewed the sample. With a camera crew capturing
: the set for a livetelevision special, the club's lights were left on and
: Coldplay's impossibly charismatic singer Chris Martin was encouraged to play
: not just to the Vic audience, but to the viewers at home, too.
: No problem. Reminiscent of U2, Echo and the Bunnymen and, of course, Radiohead,
: Coldplay's music sounds perfectly suited to catch the ears of millions. The
: piano-led "The Scientist" and "Clocks" mingled with the psychedelic-tinged
: "Daylight," "Don't Panic" and "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face," the latter
: three songs playing up Martin's Bunnymen infatuation. Drummer Will Champion
: chimed in with falsetto backing vocals as he pounded away incessantly, while
: Jon Buckland brandished a new guitar for nearly every song.
: Buckland's minimal leads were key to Coldplay's rousing performance.
: Preferring subtle shadings to power-chords and simple rhythmic patterns to
: full-blown solos, Buckland provided the counterpoint to Martin's heartfelt
: and yearning vocals. When the two meshed, as on the hit "Yellow" and its
: sound-alike sequel "In My Place," the melancholy emotional power was
: undeniable.
: Not everything was so serious. When a technical problem delayed the live
: broadcast, Martin played a brief piano medley of Nelly's "Hot in Herre" and
: Eminem's "Without Me," showing that he's been studying the mechanics of
: hitmaking. He brought an enthusiastic fan up to introduce the propulsive
: "Shiver," then later led the band through the giddy Bunnymen nugget "Lips
: Like Sugar" (Bunnymen singer Ian McCulloch appears on several songs on the
: new album).
: "This is less like a gig and more like an evening with your grandparents,"
: apologized Martin about the odd, casual pacing of the show. But if this show
: was only Coldplay in low-key mode, then the band's forthcoming proper tour
: should cement them as the stars they so clearly aspire to be.
