Coldplay - Life in Technicolour II

In a follow-up to 2008’s chart-crunching singles "Viva La Vida" and "Violet Hill", Coldplay have opted to release another song from their fourth album.

But this time in a different style. "Life in Technicolor II" is an extended lyrical version of the original taken from the "Prospekt’s March" EP, including an instrumental bridge. Whilst much of it sounds identical to the old song, you should still appreciate the raw power and strong George Harrison-esque feel this song manages to deliver.

If one real criticism can be levelled against it, the tune can feel slightly repetitive without much variety for during the four minutes. However, the strength of the composition lies in the sheer catchiness of the rhythm, which should leave you humming it for days.

Score: 90%
