Reviews for Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, are still trickling in over four months after its release. Here's one from fredericksburg.com:
"Viva la Vida" translates as "live the life." What a title for an album that matches the epic proportions expected from a group like Coldplay! On "Viva la Vida," released this past June, Coldplay offers a new sound that will truly shock old fans. This time, frontman Chris Martin isn't always singing in his falsetto about some girl. Instead, the album focuses a lot on Martin's lower-register singing and ambiguous lyrics.
The album debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts as well as topping the charts in Britain, Japan, Australia, Canada, France and Germany. Coldplay has essentially saved the EMI group--which handles music efforts in the U.K. and Ireland for Capitol Records--from its extended sales slump.
