Hello again, Lyriticites! (Yeah, that's you. The fans. Yep.) In today's short and sweet little review, I'll take a look at Britpop band Coldplay's signature song, Viva la Vida, and give you the down-low and the far-wide on it's quality and content...

Hello everyone! Very sorry for the long delay in making a new review. Had some struggles with a depression and have searched high and low for a solution, but finally figured out that the best solution, is creativity.
As such, I'm back to reviewing, starting off with a cool little band called Foals which I recently discovered. I'll keep these reviews short and informative.
Enjoy!

Apologies for the awkward silence last Monday. I was having a bad week and needed a bit of a break from Lyriticus to figure out a new schedule.
...I figured out a new schedule:
First Sunday of every Month: A review of a music album or a movie. TV Show Seasons are possible, but I'm not doing those this year. Also, The Lyritical Analysis will debut sometime this year or early next year, but I still have to fit it in somewhere in the schedule.
Hang in there, folks! This blog's still just starting up...
Music Singles: Whenever I want. Yes, you read that right, I post reviews of music singles whenever I want. I'm not a lazy person (for the most part) so you need not worry, you will see Music Singles being reviewed.
Since Music Albums often incorporate songs with no accompanying music videos, those will reviewed too. Heck, those can be done within half an hour and posted on the blog in no time.
*shrugs enthusiastically if there is such a thing as shrugging enthusiastically*
Okay, so first thing's first: The blog is going to a once-a-month schedule, with one film or music album review a month. (Possibly both, but I want to be reasonable.)
Music singles are reviewed at leisure. Meaning, they don't have a fixed schedule so I post them whenever I want. The singles will mostly be reviewed in combination with my music album reviews.
As always, check this posts for updates on what will happen in the coming weeks.
The Lyritical Analysis: An analysis only post will be done very shortly. I want to expand on a review of mine and explain the reasoning behind said review. It won't go up this week, but stay tuned for more updates.
And so the movie reviews on Lyriticus commence! I'm starting off with Life of Pi, a movie which stuck with me for quite some time because of the interesting themes and symbolism.
The story revolves around a man from various kinds of religions who goes on an epic journey, one that will make you believe in "God." Does it succeed in it's goal? Let's go through the facts and find out.
