底下節錄的是關於新專輯收錄歌曲的部份(os:我也想當音樂雜誌編輯)
"Violet Hill":
One of the strongest of the new songs, the band is considering
giving it away as a special promotion in coming weeks and then
leaving it off the album. Opening with a jagged distorted guitar
riff, the song announces a new template: The stalking, bluesy beat
fits nicely with Martin's earthy vocals and plaintive lyrics:
"If you love me, won't you let me know?"
"42":
The fact that the band is considering this song as the album's first
real single underlines how far they're willing to a stray from their
formula: It's an elaborate three-part piece, with swirling pianos,
strings and beat loops that build to an uptempo climax, with some
seriously stoner lyrics:
"Those who are dead are not dead/They're just living in my head."
"Yes":
Here, Martin's vocals take center stage like never before: Sounding
more aggressive and strong than ever, they sit on top of an irresistible
North African string-and-tablas arrangement and ache more convincingly
than all the lilting falsetto in the world: "If you'd only, if you'd
only say 'Yes'/I'm just so tired of this loneliness." It's the band's
freshest song since "Parachutes."
"Death and All His Friends":
A straight-up rock tune with a riff that sounds ripped from the Doobie
Brothers, piano, and, in the last section, flute.
"Cemetaries of London":
Notice the thematic pattern emerging from the title and lyrics? This one,
with an electro loop and hand claps, doesn't sound as glum as its title
portends.
"Life in Technicolor":
Acoustic-guitar driven and jangly, this is one of the few tracks that
seems built from the Coldplay template of songs like "Don?t Panic,"
only a bit more, well, panicked: "Baby it's a violent world," Martin
sings.
"Chinese Sleep Chant":
Opening with a jagged guitar riff, the song quickly settles into a
propulsive dance-track loop with low-mixed, angelic vocals.
"Strawberry Swing":
This is one of several potential album cuts with Afro-pop and high-life
influences: Here, distortion-free finger-picked guitars which sound
straight out of Mali mix with a heavy bassline and psychedelic synths.
"My Mum comes from Zimbabwe, so I spent a lot of time there," says Martin.
"I used to work in a studio where people played that."
"Reign of Love":
A lovely layered composition of piano, bass and organ that backs
fairytale lyrics.
