I love Coldplay so downloading this new EP from itunes was a no-brainer for me.
I LOVE the intro song to Vida, so when I heard that there was a full length version "Life In Technicolor ii" I was very excited and the song doesn't disappoint.
2 other winners on this album are Rainy Day and Glass of Water
Glass of Water is classic Coldplay in that it has an epic quality.
Rainy Day, however, seems like a fun diversion from their normal stuff. It is like Beck meets U2 and it flip flops between the two. Good stuff.
The rest of the album I could take or leave. It is ok stuff, but it is clear why it was left off Vida.
So my advice is to download the 3 mentioned songs and leave the rest (unless you have to own everything JayZ touches, in which case he makes a cameo appearance in the re-release of Lost)
