I actually like every track on it and that rarely happens. If heaven had a soundtrack, Coldplay would be it. The album is imaginative, fun, and emotional.
If you never heard Coldplay before, you most likely will like this album. My top 3 favorite tracks are #5 Lovers in Japan, #8 Violet Hill, and #9 Strawberry Swing. If you hate everything by Coldplay, then you do not know what you are missing.
This and A Rush of Blood to the Head is the two best Coldplay albums in my opinion (and that alone is saying a lot for a band where even their EP's are better than many other artist's full-length albums). If you liked anythin by Coldplay, you will love this album. This is one of the few album purchases that you probably wont regret.
It makes you want to fall in love all over again. I even love some of the tracks that didnt make the album (Prospekt's March).
I like it even better than 'Clocks'; it's much lighter. I love this CD by Coldplay; I listened to it in my car for nearly 1 year on my drive to and from work. The traks were energetic as well as reflective.
:-) I then downloaded and found out that they have some very good lyrics on this CD. Thanks Coldplay for expanding my music interests- I can say I am one of your fans now. I had never really listened to Coldplay, however, I found in my Entertainment Weekly Magazine that if you give them your email address they will allow you to download this album for free- its a Thank-you to their fans. The music was definately well-written/composed. :-) How awesome is that. They got my respect points right there.
Unless Coldplay is just a band U2 created to be a back up band in case either Bono or the Edge get sick and need a temporary replacement. And while they did a good job of copying, it's really sad they win an award for copying. If that wasn't true, then the singer for Coldplay should have realized somewhere along the way, "Hey I sound precisely like Bono, but darnit I can't come up with something original." Coldplay is a joke band to be enjoyed by people with poor musical taste. What a load of garbage. The singer and guitarist obviously worked hard to copy Bono and The Edge.
The entire album is fairly mellow with good beats. I even discovered that I knew more of Coldplay's music than I thought. I'd never really heard of Coldplay before Viva La Vida. I use it as background music both for walking to school and doing my homework.After buying Viva La Vida, I purchased X&Y, Parachutes, and A Rush of Blood To the Head, and all four albums play very nicely together. I'd highly recommend the album and, if anyone else is a new fan like me, I'd recommend trying some of their other albums as well. I mean, I knew they existed as a band, but prior to this album, I didn't realize just how amazing a band they are. The title song is very easy to listen to, but it is certainly not the only good song on the album.
