yeah Viva la Vida bored me. like don't get me wrong, i love slow music and am a fan of X&Y which had some real nice tracks but Viva la Vida, snoresville

Really? Because I think X & Y is mostly boring apart from a few songs.

nah see i guess its a personal thing but i find the distinction between X&Y and Viva la Vida is that X&Y is chill but nice where Viva la Vida is just in between for me, its slow rock, offering nothing to the table, bland, mediocre, but its just a taste thing i suppose

Most of the music is very laid back but also has this sort of rock to it.
I don't think I'd consider them "coffee-table music"

Coldplay have been dubbed the 'new U2' but I don't agree. I've always debated how much of Coldplay I can take, some days I enjoy it, others I don't.

How anyone coukd find Viva more boring than X&Y is beyond me! X&Y is the very definition of cookie cutter Coldplay... tracks don't vary much between ballads and rock ~ ish numbers alternated amongst each other.About half way through I find myself totally tuned out of that album...

Viva on the other hand, keeps me interested and wanting more! Every new song seems to take a new angle or approach, whether it be gentle, rocking out or plain spacey... every song is new and full of character... truly a triumph for the band in myopnion!

I think on X & Y they were trying to be progressive but failed, so they went a different route on Viva and are going the right way they were trying to go before, just on a different road.

It's obviously a personal choice but I find that I have to be in a certain mood to listen to Coldplay. Though their newer stuff Viva La Vida and then the Prospekts March EP seems more upbeat and is more stuff you can listen to whenever.

I just like the wayViva La Vida sounds like it has so many more shades of color and contrast than previous occasionally dry sounding Coldplay albums... its a step forward in terms of less formal, more asymetrical songs than previous albums... it dares to be a little more adventurous than previous efforts, too, wqhich I can only praise, really...
