Closer and closer it seems Coldplay came to replacing U2 as the world's biggest band. This time they went as far as working with the Irish band's longtime producer, Brian Eno, resulting in some of Coldplay's most experimental music thus far. Yet Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is a heart-on-its-sleeve Coldplay album through and through, delivering big earnest melodies like "Lost!" and "Viva la Vida" amid more unusual fare like the multi-part "42," the rather dark "Violet Hill" and the undeniably gorgeous "Strawberry Swing." Four albums into their career and Coldplay has yet to make a bad album and just continues to get more interesting.
Best: Strawberry Swing, Viva la Vida, Violet Hill, 42, Lost!

just an incredible album - viva la vida (and all the new darin/psb covers) get me excited even after all this time ;)
Strawberry Swing for sure!
I am loving the Darin's version of Viva La Vida more, more appealing to a pop fan like mua.
