This is one terrible album. Coldplay is a great band and so I expected this to at least be a decent compilation. However, the artists on this CD offer absolutely nothing. They do nothing but sing the songs as they hear them, rather than offer their own style. Therefore you really have no choice but to directly compare it to how Chris Martin sings, and it just makes it sound mediocre. Also it's too early for a Coldplay tribute album; they're still growing as a band and really don't have that many songs to remake. Maybe if in the future the artists can choose from songs that actually suit them, the album would be a better buy.

I'm a huge Coldplay fan and love their music. I was hopeful when I saw this compilation, thinking other artists might be able to contribute unique interpretations of these wonderful songs. What I found was purely imitative and unoriginal.

Again, the source music is great. This is really good music. If you can't get enough of Coldplay, you may be interested in having this disc purely for your collection. Otherwise, your time and money are probably better spent listening to the originals.

This compilation is an embarassment to the artists who compiled it with such banal unoriginality.

Im a hugeee coldplay fan since the begining, and i've been watching for anything coldplay related, esp a dvd or trubute, when i listened to this cd, i was unimpressed. I was hoping for some unique artist interpretations of coldplay's songs. Coldplay's music is i admit hard to top, but artist renditions should be more creative, I wouldnt recommend this cd.

Is the music label so desperate to cash on Coldplay music as much as they can? Or maybe these artists on this album are friends of Coldplay? Whatever it is Coldplay is such a great band so there is really no need for anyone to do interpretation of their music at least not yet. Forget this album and get the real stuff from Coldplay.

This is an insult to the band. Couldn't they wait until they broke up or died? A tribute? C'mon. More like, let's try and ride this Coldplay success to the bank? Notice there are no name or credit to the singers and musicians? If there is I didn't find it because it's burried somewhere. I can't say enough terrible things about this "tribute" album. If anyone heard this and never heard the real Coldplay, they might get turned off to Coldplay's music entirely. So sad, I'm actually upset about this work.

This CD is full of exact covers of original Coldplay songs. The artists that perform on this album don't put any spin on the songs really, and all of the vocalists don't compare to Chris Martin. Stick with the Coldplay originals.

Don't get me wrong, Coldplay is one of my favorite bands and all, but why is there a tribute album out already. Why don't we give it a few years, producers. Let them breath!

P.S. The five stars are for Coldplay.

Allright, seriously. I have the String Quartet Tribute to Coldplay where they take Coldplay melodies and sort of rework them in a new interesting way. That stuff is good to listen to for studying or something where you don't want words. But this: the songs are pretty much just covers. They sound like Coldplay songs, almost the same, but simply not as good and not real. Its a bunch of crap, really. Do yourself a favor: buy Parachutes and Rush of Blood to the Head, but stay away from this crappy tribute.

These are horrible covers. I would much rather listen to Chris Martin sing. Do not waste your money. At the very least you'd think they'd do something original, or make the song their own, but no. Same songs but with annoying vocals. Painful to listen to.
