Excellent
There is a lot of music on this album and I can play it over and over. Not much else to say but this is excellent and a must have for Coldplay fans, even non-fans should give it a try. . . Just an all around awesome album with some new sounds and instruments but same beautiful writing and execution.


A Must Have!!!
Seriously, you must own this album! Check it out online, from a friend, borrow it from your local library or one of the many other free ways available first, but trust me, you simply can't go wrong with this one. Already a fan of Coldplay and IMHO, this is definitely their best album to-date and is certainly one of the best 100 albums of all time! Almost every song is nothing less than fantastic. Buy it!.


Love it!!!!!!!!!
I thought from the other reviews that it was just a tweaked duplicate of Viva la Vida, but it is has its own sound in so many ways. This CD is awsome!!! Love Prospekt's March it was a wonderful surprise. I love them both and have listened to them everyday since I got them.


Coldplay's Greatest Album
After hearing that the album had dropped down to $5 for a limited time, I decided to buy it and experience it first-hand. Before purchasing this album, I had doubts whether the tracks were worth listening to and after hearing first-hand how bad X&Y was, I was justified in having second thoughts about buying it. What I experienced was an almost perfect album. I have to admit that it does stray from their earlier albums like "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" but not being a hardcore Coldplay listener, I welcomed the change. Songs like "Lost!", "42", "Lovers in Japan" to name a few showcase Coldplay's new and welcomed direction where they expirement with various styles. Not to mention all the songs are extremely catchy and they will be stuck in your head for days. Here are some of my comments on the songs:

Life in Technicolor - 4/5; Short but sweet
Cemeteries of London - 4/5
Lost! - 5/5; Catchy
42 - 5/5
Lovers in Japan - 5/5; One of my favorites, awesome lyrics
Yes - 5/5; Also my favorite, features Martin singing looow, middle eastern section
Viva La Vida - 5/5; Amazing of course
Violet Hill - 4/5; Love the guitar solo
Strawberry Swing - 2/5; Okay, could have been left out
Death And All His Friends - 5/5; Great ending to a great album

Disc 2 is also awesome. I don't have time to comment on each song but make sure you buy the Prospekt's March edition! Why some of them were left out of Disc 1 is suprising really.

In summary, buy the album for you and 10 of your friends. It's that good.


Not Viva, but still a good listen.
I have enjoyed it. This CD has some tracks and some melodies taken from Viva La Vida, but they are either mixes or even mis-mashes of the songs.
