Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Coldplay Photos
Amazon.com: 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 People en Español Cuando Coldplay anunció con bombo y platillo que su cuarto disco, bajo el ambicioso título de Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, vendría acompañado de la producción de Brian Eno, dos escenarios se convertían en posibilidad: o se trataba de su peor álbum o la obra maestra de su carrera. Afortunadamente, la producción de Eno no lleva a la banda británica a imitar a U2 por ningún momento, y en cambio, el grupo liderado por Chris Martin presenta el mejor disco en su trayectoria, ofreciendo un sonido distinto, en el que por fin se alejan del pianito hartante de sus primeros tres álbumes y suenan como lo que siempre prometieron ser: una de las mejores bandas del mundo. "Life In Technicolor," "Viva la Vida," y sobre todo el tema "Lost!," representan a Coldplay en su momento cumbre. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español  )Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Beutifull work of artI LOVE this record.There's not one track thats not perfect.The way the music wraps around the next song,or the way the music changes into something you don't expect,reminds me alot of the Beatles "Abby Road." I haven't enjoyed a CD like this in YEARS.Its my first ColdPlay one,and I'm going to get the rest of there albums after listening to "Viva La Vida." Rating:  - never reicivedSeller never responded, I never reicived my CD, however I was charged for it. :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: - Awesome music!I had not been a Cold Play fan, but after listening to this CD many times over, I have become one. The music is refreshing and different from other groups, and now I want their other cd's too! Rating: - shamefulWhen I was in college I walked in my room and heard my roommate in the room next to me, giving another guy sexual favors. I thought that was the gayest thing that I've ever heard. You know where I'm going with this.... This CD is the gayest thing I've ever heard. Anyone who gives this album above a 1-star rating is gayer than my roommate who was down on all fours taking it like a champ from another gay dude he met at the club. Rating:  - Sorry but I didn't enjoy it.I'm not quite sure why I keep buying Coldplay albums. I really want to like them, I guess. Each Album releases a number of singles and they are always great but sadly I find the album does not add up to the promise created by the quality of the singles released from it. This really is one for the diehard fans - I think I will wait for the greatest hits Browse for similar items by category:
