I really hate the video for Coldplay's Viva La Vida. Like, I hate everything about it - the colours, the tones, the jerkiness of each frame, Chris Martin's hair - it's all visual vomit. It's too bad because I love the song.

Here, take a look:

However, they did make a 2nd video for fun, and as a homage to Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence video. They even got the director of that DM video (who also directed DM's Devotional Tour from '93-94 - the BEST concert film ever. It'll blow your mind. Really.) Enjoy the Silence was kind of a goofy video and so is this one, but it's miles and miles better than the official video, which is such a lazy slapped-together-at-the-last-minute piece of crap. This one is at least more interesting to watch, whether it makes sense or not.

And just for kicks, as well as for a reference, here's the Enjoy the Silence video.
