The new Hype Williams lensed official video for Coldplay's number one hit "Viva La Vida" hit the interwebs, and it's a decent video, but rather boring. I'm guessing this is the one they will be sending to the VH1, which is a shame because the alternate version directed by Anton Corbijn is so much better! In this one, Chris Martin wanders about London in a crown and fur cape, looking every bit the deposed ruler. He sits in a bus shelter on a hill at one point and in a scale model village all while carrying a framed painting, which the picture used for the Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends album cover. It's quirky and in that grainy film that Anton likes to use. I think you should watch it:

I have been somewhat interested in Coldplay for the past three albums, but the Coldplay songs on "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" are off the charts!! As someone who has recorded cover songs of Coldplay, I've most enjoyed the material from this great concept album!!
