Summary: Coldplay's Best
Comment: 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

Summary: Coldplay: The Next U2???
Comment: 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!

Summary: AMAZING!
Comment: 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!

Summary: I didn't like it to begin with.....
Comment: This is a departure from the initial three albums from Coldplay, and the songs often sounded disjointed and strange compared to those on Parachutes, X&Y and a Rush of Blood to the head. Those albums are so great that the first time I played Viva is just didn't do it for me and I found myself longing for the album of old.
It took a while but it has grown on me, I am still not entirely sold however when I saw Coldplay in Kansas City I was belting out the songs with gusto. Maybe its the nostalgia from a great show but Viva has got its hooks in.

Summary: Gets Better with Each Listening
Comment: I have to agree with several other reviewers of this album. I bought the CD last week mainly for "Viva La Vida," which I think is one of the best songs Coldplay has ever done. The first time around, I listened straight through, and didn't really care for many of the other songs. However, after listening to it again yesterday, I'm totally hooked. I'm not sure what did it, but I can't get enough of this album. It's not "A Rush of Blood to the Head," but then again, I don't think Coldplay will ever have another album like that one. Be sure to give this one another chance if you didn't like it at first.
