Viva La Vida
: : Coldplay Photos Amazon.com:To say there has been a lot of anticipation for Coldplay’s fourth album, Viva La Vida, is an understatement. Having enlisted legendary leftfield producer Brian Eno, borrowed their album title from a painting by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and made tantalising remarks about sonic reinvention, the world has been curious (to say the least) to hear what the ‘new’ Coldplay might sound like.

3 Doors Down
:Album Description:'We're not a band that just goes through the motions,' says Chris. 'We go at everything hard. What I'm most proud of about the new album is we left ourselves a way out.
