Biography

Coldplay's rise to stardom was quick after the release of their debut LP Parachutes (2000) spawned four UK Top 10 hits ("Shiver", "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic"). It garnered the band numerous award nominations, eventually winning three prestigious awards; the Q Award for Best Album, the BRIT Award for Best British Album, and a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.

Editorial Reviews

What's this? New Coldplay material so soon after the release of Viva La Vida? In fact, Prospekt's March is a collection of songs that were chiefly intended for the band's fourth album that weren't finished before the deadline. There are eight tracks in total (some new, some new-ish), and a couple of re-workings of older material. Amongst the re-imaginings is a largely decorative Osaka Sun mix of "Lovers in Japan," and a version of "Lost" that includes an unlikely guest vocalist in the shape of Jay-Z. It seems to work. Of the new material, the piano interlude "Postcards from Far Away" is the shortest and most coruscating work, while "Life in Technicolor (II)" is larger (but slightly less successful), adding only cursory elements to its predecessor on Viva La Vida. More alluring are the gigantic "Glass of Water," the experimental "Rainy Day," and the beautifully melancholy "Prospekt's March/Poppy Fields." Overall, the album is a mixed bag of sorts, but one that's generally more enjoyable than not.--Danny McKenna

5.0 out of 5 stars Prospekt marches to it's own beat, July 15, 2009
Viva La Vida is a great CD, but I wasn't really sure how the Prospekt March Edition would hold up. I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the tracks seem to be a real departure from Coldplay's usual style. "Lost (With Jay-Z)" is bashed by a lot of people, but I really respect that Coldplay just wanted to do something different (although I DIDNT respect that they allowed swearing in this album - I was really surprised. Rainy Day is probably my favorite track on the Prospekt's side... it's just so upbeat you can't help but love it. Really, if you like Coldplay, this is probably their best collection yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice edition!, November 26, 2008
By Andrew D. Lossing "Go real." (Coquille (nowhere-ville), OR, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
For those who love Coldplay's latest offering, this is a great way to round your Viva experience out with the new EP, especially if you got the original album electronically. While it's not the most red-carpet edition imaginable, it is stylish and quite affordable. For those wondering whether to buy the EP, do so - it's a nearly seamless addition to the inspiration of Viva, with the sole exception of a couple dozen seconds of silly rapping overlaying "Lost+", unnecessary since it's the same version of the song on the album. Listen to it once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!, June 12, 2009
This is a terrific "combo" album pack. "Viva La Vida" is epic and beautiful with huge and broad-scoped songs that succeed in taking my breath away. "Prospekt's March" is probably even better, with songs that are more intimate and soothing (more like old school Coldplay.)

However, who's idea was it to slap Jay-Z on here? That was an awful idea...
