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

- Great
No time to write details ... it's just a fabulously infections, well-written, well-played, and great sounding CD. the title track is the best song of this century thus far.

- another good cd!
just as the title states another good album by cold play. I am always excited when they come out with another album because I love to hear what new direction they were willing to try.

The title track from Viva La Vida is a catchy, main-stream performance that is easy to listen to. All of the other tracks seem to be an attempt by Chris Martin & the gang to be different, or for their music to "evolve". Simply put, it is just hard to listen to, and has little of the layered construction that all of their previous albums displayed. So, like the Scissor Sisters, when the next Coldplay offering comes out I will preview it before making a purchase.

- Viva la vida, baby
Every so often a band comes along that breaks new ground and spreads life messages with unfaltering confidence and high artistic vision, and, once making it big, never sacrifices its artistic integrity. The first of these was the Beatles in the 1960s. U2 rose up in the 1980s. In the 1990s, Radiohead rose and was set to become the next of these bands. But when their fourth album, 2000's "Kid A," broke too much ground for mainstream listeners to handle, those listeners twirled around to face Coldplay, a fresh-out-of-college English band that had just released their debut, "Parachutes." Since then, music fans have been heralding Coldplay as the next big thing, the band that could rise up and lead the music world like Radiohead and U2 have been doing.

But they've been like that brilliant student who never quite applies his or herself to the schoolwork, the student who is trying to do his or her best ... Read More
