I didn't like it to begin with..... November 21, 2008
James Starritt (Kansas City, MO)
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.
 Gets Better with Each Listening November 21, 2008

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.
Coldplay's best! November 19, 2008

It is very rare when I buy an album that I like EVERY song, but that is the case with Coldplay's newest album. This is their best, ever!
 Another disappointing album... November 18, 2008

I will never buy another Coldplay album without hearing it first. This is the best example of a "DBB" (download it before buying it) album. I can understand how a band should evolve and not repeat themselves. From The Beatles to Depeche Mode we have seen bands changing their style album after album but STILL each album is great. Tough I didn't expect another A Rush of Blood album I sure expected great melodies or complex arrangements. None of this is found here. Sure, "VIVA LA VIDA" is one of the greatest songs of this years and one of Coldplay's best, but do we have to go all through an album of dull "songs" just to have one or at the most 2 great songs?? I can't believe this is the same Brian Eno that produced such gems with Bowie and Talking Heads. I guess a producer can't do much when the artist lacks completes inspiration. What a waste.
Awesome Album! November 16, 2008
Bandito Gal
What can you say about Coldplay other than they continue to produce awesome music. Each album seems to surpass the previous one no matter how good it was! The thing I think sets Coldplay apart from other bands today
is their willingness to to take chances;like I mentioned in my last review on Arrica Rose in La La Lost, it is that taking of risks that takes us a fun-packed adventure each time Coldplay releases an album. This album will go down as one of my top ten favorites.
