You’ve probably seen the latest iTunes commercial, featuring Coldplay. It’s sure gotten my attention. Like all of the iTunes spots, it looks and sounds beautiful, very well conceived and edited.

Despite being piano-based (which usually attracts me), nothing Coldplay has done up to this point has really done anything for me. But from the sounds of it, their latest, Viva La Vida is changing that. I’m going out on a limb here, having heard only a few songs, but I think this album is going to be huge, having an impact not seen since U2 released Joshua Tree.

I’ll wait to hear the album in its entirety, but listening to just a bit makes me think of U2, The Beatles, Brian Wilson’s Smile, and more.
