Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends

I'm a big fan, this is a great album, I love it.

The decision to bring in Brian Eno, in order to energize the Coldplay sound, seems to be an unqualified success to me - the aim, apparently, was for every song on the album to sound unique and, to my ears, the brief was met. Musically, the boys are in fine form with special mention going to Jonny Buckland's excellent guitar playing and, naturally, Chris Martin's sweet vocals and powerful keyboards are prominent. My favourite tracks here are the masterful '42', which moves superbly from ballad to uptempo rock before building to a classy instrumental climax and the anthemic title track - for me, both rank highly in any list of Coldplay classics. I would happily recommend buying 'Viva La Vida...' to add to your album collection.

Although I've been aware of this band for some time, it was listening to Michael Caine on Desert Island Discs that alerted me to just how good they might be (he selected Viva La Vida). Received the disc yesterday and it sure is good - Brian Eno influence noticeable. I cannot recall the last time I purchased the work of contemporary bands and if this is the 'state of the art', it really means I must listen to more!

All good

What surprised me most about this album was how much I enjoyed it the very first time I listened to it. It usually takes me longer to get to know and enjoy a whole album, usually opting to listen first to tracks I already know. But this seems to flow so well from track to track that I have always played it from start to finish. A great addition to my CD collection.

bought this item for my collection ,very quick delivery thankyou.

Lots of good songs on this album.

Only wanted the one song really but had to buy whole Album.most of which are not my taste.But not expensive so not a problem.

I have been looking for this CD for many years but it is had to find since it is so old. Amazon comes through again! They only had 2 left so I ordered right away & was glad to hear one of my favorite Coldplay CD's again.

Bellissimo

A écouter en boucle

I discovered Viva la vida at the radio 3 months ago. It was the first time for me to discovered Coldplay. Normally I listened classical music... I love Coldplay right now!
