#20: Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Coldplay's Viva La Vida was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated albums of 2008. While at first I felt that it didn't deliver on its long-awaited promise, the Spanish inspired collection of songs really ended up growing on me. Even if you don't like the album too much, there is no denying the band's talent for writing and crafting great songs.
Their craft is most prevalent on this album in songs like "Lost" and "42." Coupled with the strategic release of two singles prior to the release of the album in June, you have an album laced with great material and instant classics. Hopefully, the CDs lack of length can be overlooked. The ten songs, one of which is an instrumental intro, almost leaves the listener feeling "ripped off."
Although there were mixed reviews of this record, Viva La Vida is, in fact, a tremendous album. If you didn't approve after first listen, I recommend you take it out and review it once more. I guarantee you will begin to hear things you missed during the first go-round.
