 Viva La ColdPlay!, December 2, 2008

Absolutely the best album I've purchased in the past two years. Especially enjoyed the band's performance on Comedy Central.

 Disappointing, December 2, 2008

This album really is not sincere Coldplay. This is a departure from what they truly are as musicians. I recently saw them on tour here in Phoenix, I must say i was disappointed. The X&Y tour was much better, much more impressive very powerful and memorable. I vaguely remember the Viva la Vida show I just saw, that's what kind of an impression it left on me. The album itself does not grab me at all and lacks the power of the previous three. I hope that Chris Martin and the Boys wake up and are true to themselves. It is not worth alienating longevity or true fans to please a few critics. If you are new to Coldplay before buying this album listen to Parachutes, Rush of Blood to the Head and X&Y first so you have an idea of what Coldplay REALLY sounds like when they are themselves.

Coldplay's Best, November 30, 2008
|

This is a must album for all Coldplay fans.
Chris Martin said "this is the album we always wanted to make" and it clearly shows. Unlike their past albums (that I still love) this one offers a distinctive collection of songs with a more layered sound. Aparently Brian Eno (U2 Producer) was brought in for this very reason.
I can't find any misteps on this album-every track is fresh and beautiful to listen to.
Martin has been obsessed lately with becoming the best band in the world and taking the torch away U2. This album makes a strong argument for Coldplay doing just that.
Enjoy

Coldplay: The Next U2???, November 27, 2008
|

When I first heard Coldplay's Viva Vidla (sorry bad spelling) I couldn't but to think of one band U2!! And I like U2!! I mean, I am familar with Coldplay's music like "Clocks" and "Yellow" but Coldplay's latest CD sound so much like U2, I just had to get it!!! I mean, I even saw Chris Martin perform on SNL, and I kept thinking "He's the next Bono!" lol Not dissing this band, they are great in their own right, great CD, but they need to shed this U2wanna-be image!

AMAZING!, November 24, 2008

This CD is absolutely brilliant! The only thing I have bad to say about it is that there aren't enough tracks! Vivia La Vida, Lovers in Japan and Strawberry Swing are my favorite. I was always loved Coldplay but never have owned a CD of theirs until now!
