To say there has been a lot of anticipation for Coldplay’s fourth album, Viva La Vida, is an understatement. Having enlisted legendary leftfield producer Brian Eno, borrowed their album title from a painting by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and made tantalising remarks about sonic reinvention, the world has been curious (to say the least) to hear what the ‘new’ Coldplay might sound like. Viva La Vida definitely makes some departures from the band’s usual formula, which happens to be one of the most commercially successful rock-pop blueprints of recent years. The plangent chords, emotive melodies, stadium-rock rhythms and universal lyrical concerns remain, but Martin and co. have gone out on several limbs here, incorporating instrumental tracks ("Life In Technicolour"), using subtle North African and Latin elements ("Yes", "Strawberry Swing"), and overhauling previously strict verse-chorus-verse structures in favour of slightly more avant arrangements. The old Coldplay still shine through (see tracks like "Violet Hill" and the title song) but even their classic sound feels more muscular and confident. The band’s new flourishes, cosmetic and self-conscious as they may be, are enough to make Viva La Vida a welcome break from the old routine--Danny McKenna

I knew the title song before I got the CD. I am pleased to own it and listen to it often. It was not a mistake to buy it.

Viva La Vida is the only good song. All the other songs are boring and sleepy and are lacking a good melody and a good beat. The bad songs just seem like filler material. Albums that have only one good song suck. I always feel ripped off by those. Also I don't like the death theme that's in a lot of the songs on this album. Death is scary and depressing. Who wants to think about that. There's too much negativity going around in society without adding more to it. This is a rather depressing album. ... Read More

Coldplay reminds of the Moody Blues back in the 70's but with today's technology and punk intertwined. The harmony and the instruments are artistic and refreshing. If you haven't listened to clips off this album you should.

I amazingly managed to avoid Coldplay all these years, the only song I really heard more than a few times was the hit from years ago, Clocks. Recently I heard the song Viva la Vida here and there and it didn't grab me, it sounded like a basic pop/rock song too much like U2. Then one day I overheard Lovers in Japan and that's when something clicked. I really liked the sound, it was very catchy and I liked that it had some slight shoegaze elements.
I got the album on the strength of that ... Read More

I've been a Coldplay fan since I heard Clocks for the first time. Their music is wonderful to listen to. I can close my eyes and drift away to some other place and time. I never get tired of listening to them perform, especially if I'm at the computer writing.
