“The Goldrush” is probably the 136th song to pop up from the Viva La Vida well, in a little less than8 months. Coldplay are really milking this baby for all it’s worth. This new B-Side belongs to the new “Life in Technicolor II” single they’re releasing via Parlophone.
Alright, so let’s go through the singles that have come from this Viva La Vida/Prospekt’s March thing — “Violet Hill” (Coldplay’s greatest rawk!! song), “Viva La Vida” (on the best pop singles of 2008), “Lost” (ft. Jay-Z – it was already my favorite track off Viva, Jay-Z was a great bonus), and “Lovers In Japan” was a nice little radio single to hum along to while driving to school/work. My vote for fifth single went to, and still goes to, “Yes” — just because LiT2 reminds me of “Lovers In Japan” too much, and let’s face it, “Lovers In Japan” hardly impacted pop at all.
But I do like “The Goldrush.” I like that Chris Martin steps down from the mic and lets drummer Will Champion sing for us. I also like how active Coldplay are. I like how they are still saying we will listen to another new album this year.
Give “The Goldrush” a good listen or two below:

I definitely agree on YES! being a single, but only the first half
Yeah,
The first half is what would make it to radio.
Grim, not feeling it.
Not really milking when you look at how many b-sides were released from A Rush… about 2 b-sides per single. I must say I can’t complain when all the b-sides thus far are quite good and always interesting (except Lost+… Not big on the Jay-Z vocals), much unlike the X&Y B-Sides where they just kept getting worse and blended together horribly, with the exception of Sleeping Sun (great hint of them changing their sound). Sorry for all the parentheses and run-ons.
How can I download this song?
