Ah, Chris Martin and the Coldplayers, you've done it again. Coldplay is one of those mainstream bands you want to hate but just can't help but love due to the original sound they produce, and this live album is no exception.

Let me start by telling you guys that this live album is available right now as a free download off of the Coldplay website. It starts off with the track "Glass of Water" which was released on the EP "Prospekts March" as with many songs off of that EP, it's passable. Then it goes straight into epic live ballads which are all definitely worth listening to. The familiar song "Clocks" is done with the new power that Coldplay found in their latest studio album "Viva La Vida", and I must say it sounds alot better than the now somewhat classic original song. The vibrancy that Chris Martin puts in the vocals in this live album is astounding- from the eerie yet mellow rendition of "The Hardest Part" to the impactful guitar solo and vocal finish in "Death and All His Friends".

I have to say the album did surprise me as I always preferred the studio albums to Colplay's live stuff, but this definitely changed my opinion of their live performances, there is so much life in these songs it makes the studio ones seem like a letdown. Definitely check out this album...I mean, dude, it's free.
