Viva la Vida [Slipcase] by Coldplay

Pros: Damn. They managed to almost completely rise above their most common criticisms and cliches.
Cons: I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off.

Have I ever mentioned that it's been cool to hate Coldplay for a few years now? Or have I ever made the comparison between Coldplay and Creed? I'm sure I must have, since I've covered my share of ...

Pros: Good tunes, Decent lyrics, Good vocals
Cons: SHORT, Derivative of itself/other Coldplay

I know very little about the hype around the band Coldplay. I don't read anything about the group or its members and I only recognized the lead singer of the group in his appearance on the second season of "Extras" (reviewed at: ...

Pros: Much more consistent than their previous record; still capable of ethereal splendor.
Cons: Allegations of melody borrowing raise questions about their originality.

Coldplay has undoubtedly had great worldwide success ever since Rush of Blood to the Head captured the hearts of many in 2002 with classics like "Clocks." Even their 2005 album, X&Y, had some similar wonderful moments, but ...

Pros: Their usual art-pop with some balls on board. And, there's boobs on the cover. 
Cons: Not different enough from their previous albums to win over sworn enemies of Chris' voice.

OK, I’ve finally joined the Coldplay party. After years of denying that these guys may have anything to say musically, I’m finally conceding that they may indeed hold long-term prospects of remaining in my CD collection. I don’t know if ...

Pros: To put it short, Coldplay is one of the most innovative groups in music now...
Cons:

None (read review)

During the past couple of years, Coldplay has gone from being just a blip on my musical radar, to my favorite band (well, third after John Mayer and Jamie Cullum, but technically, they aren't "bands" anyway). I've devoured all ...

Pros: Lush instrumentals, great lyrics, impressive atmosphere...and track seven is among the best I've ever heard.
Cons: May border on pretentious at times...but that's a minor complaint.

Coldplay fans, fear not. A joke has been swirling around fans of juvenile humor that has attacked your very natures. While I am admittedly jumping on the Coldplay bandwagon just now, I understand the stupidity of this humor. Your excellent taste ...

Pros: A continued polishing to Coldplay's sound.
Cons: None.

On hot and sweltering days such as this, there is no greater feeling than cooling off for a moment. If all the playing in the heat that you do on a daily basis has you running ragged, perhaps it is about time that you Coldplay instead for a ...

Pros: -A few very strong songs, it's a lot better than X&Y
Cons: -Only 10 tracks, weird hidden tracks, a couple of pretty weak songs.

You know how I know you're gay? Since about the time "Yellow" hit the airwaves in US several years ago, Coldplay has been arguably my favorite band that still makes music. Parachutes and a Rush of Blood to the Head still rank among my most ...

Pros: Coldplay stride toward artistic integrity. Excellent songwriting and production.
Cons: Not a cohesive album or great lyrically. Coldplay might always be a little boring.

I’m not sure if Coldplay became the antithesis of cool immediately upon their formation, but I do know that by the time I really started to get interested in music (probably late 2004) it was not even remotely cool to like Coldplay. In fact, prior to the ...

Pros: Great instrumental.
Cons: Only ten songs

The new Coldplay CD, Viva La Vida has been one of the best CD’s to come out this year in my opinion. Viva La Vida to me is not like the other CD’s that Coldplay has come out with like, X & Y. This album offers great variety in music. ...
