Musically, Eno nudges Coldplay a few steps closer to transcendence not by opening the band up--though he did have the group record in Spanish churches and play with tablas--but by tying it down. Viva la Vida starts with the light pulse of a keyboard and a beep that could be a passing satellite. Everything seems to exist in its own silo until a rising whoosh comes along and the instruments merge into a huge harmonious collision.

Among the things you will not find in Jhumpa Lahiri's fiction are: humor, suspense, cleverness, profound observations about life, vocabulary above the 10th-grade level, footnotes and typographical experiments. It is debatable whether her keyboard even has an exclamation point...

The instrumental din is completed by the echo of a toxic chromium scrape at the back of the mix, interrupted only by the chorus, a gregarious proclamation of the title.On previous albums, Merritt’s lyrics poked fun at contemporary conceptions...
