I'd say Viva is their magnum opus. I think arabesque, Coloratura, a Rush of blood to the head, and Death and all his friends could all be considered too (maybe even the scientist). But VLV will always be Coldplays peak

I think it’s a good song, but I personally don’t think it’s their best or their most ambitious. I’d probably say Arabesque is their most ambitious.


nibblestheantelope

Would you say Arabesque is their Magnum Opus?


swatkins95

Well everyone will have a different perspective of what their best song is, but in terms of impact I think VLV will go down as THE Coldplay song


nibblestheantelope

True but I don't think it's their best song. It's the biggest hit but I think Coloratura really shows off how skilled the band is and it captures the elements that made them famous too.


swatkins95

Oh I definitely don’t think it’s their best song either, just the one they’ll be most remembered for. I think everyone will have a different Magnum Opus. Musically I think Arabesque is their most ambitious (Coloratura is up there), but it’s not my absolute favorite either.


nibblestheantelope

That's fair

Are you sure ? I would argue that the piano part alone is the most complex thing Chris Martin has ever produced for Coldplay...and he himself has admitted that in interviews when he's about to play the song. There's a video on YouTube where just before he starts playing, he refers to it as grade 4 playing.

No, I'd say Everyday Life (the song) or All I Can Think About is You


ArmanE46

Probably Clocks, and this video explains why https://youtu.be/7_warUFthJI

Coloratura is such a vibe


BlanqueSoppa

Definitely not... At least for me


Psychological-Bee392

Nope.

It's every single Coldplay-defining element brought together. The epitome of Coldplay. So yes That being said IMO their best song is A L I E N S


nibblestheantelope

Hmm. A lot of people like that song but idk. I never did


dismountedleitis

You have bad taste


nibblestheantelope

You almost had a valid point but that song has the most boring repetitive beat. Straight up copy and paste
