The likeliest disc to receive my annual “Album of the Year” title for 2008 just dropped this morning. Coldplay’s Viva la Vida sounds like their strongest effort to date, at least at first blush. Whereas X&Y plodded in some places, the Brian Eno-produced Viva la Vida is a seamless blend of piano, guitar, and Chris Martin’s falsetto. I’ve been loving the title track for a couple weeks now, but the entire album is great. Of course, I’m a Coldplay homer, so what do you expect?

i don’t think i’ve been this excited about an album both before and after the release as VLV. it’s hands down one of the best all around albums to roll through my play list in quite sometime.
I’ve been looking forward to this one for quite some time, too. Which tracks are your favorites? For me, it’s hard to choose; they’re all really good!
let’s see…today it’s:viva la vidalost!death and all his freindsbut, like you, i’m digging them all…it’s a solid album.
