First listen, the verses reminds me of Icky Thump by The White Stripes. Probably because of the hailer effects on the vocals. Also reminds me of The Killers.
But when it goes on after the verses, you can hear the familiar Coldplay sound. Maybe the guitar solo part is a bit new to me. Correct me if I’m wrong, Jonny rarely do those type of solos in previous albums. And he used a more distorted guitar effects this time. Another rare stuff for me.
Whatever it is, Violet Hill is a nice song. Maybe not as good as Yellow/Fix You etc but it’s still have the delicious(Sorry, it’s lunch time. Very hungry) Coldplay trademark sound.
Please do download the song and give me your thoughts.

I dont like the new single. Too bad. Expecting too much since the last album was the bomb!

Haha. I heard you. I’m a bit skeptic about the new album. You know, its hard to maintain the greatness of their last albums. Hope I’m wrong.
