Where was this when I got married???!!!! June 24, 2008
OMG... I was trying to find something unique to play walking down the aisle (even though I found something else-"Barcarolle from La Vita E Bella Soundtrack :-D) in Feb of 2008. I'm a HUUUUGE fan of Coldplay (hate Viva la Vida, ick!), and this is AMAZING :-D!!!! Had I HAD the chance to walk down to this CD, it woulda been Shiver, Clocks, or Trouble :-D I'm soo kicking myself in the you-know-what!!!! I'm buying this ASAP!!! Can't wait to see them next month in Philly!!!!
Sincerely,
Jessica R (dorkyj2002)
 Strings sound good on Coldplay March 3, 2008
I'm giving this a 5 when I really think it deserves a 4.5. I think it deserves many listening ears and I don't want to undercut it by giving it a 4.
In my opinion the genre of string tributes to pop/alternative albums is a bit dicey. They tend toward the cheesy (you can almost hear the elevator climbing floors as you listen) or the bizarre (you hear cellos and violins but hear Isaac sloane's voice in your head as the songs play). This album, however, manages to forge out its own identity--it's Coldplay but it's not Coldplay in an elevator or in a bizarre dream. Instead it's a beautiful manifestation of an already cool band and great album. Not that Coldplay needs a lot of improvement mind you, but this album adds art--and value--to what the band originally created.
If you don't like a classical music vibe and you don't like strings, then I don't think you will like this, but if you do and you like Coldplay, then give it a try.
SQ to Coldplay March 14, 2007
Excellent!!!!! In My Place will send shivers through your body! Yellow is beautiful too. A must own for any Coldplay fan, prior to X&Y-which I hated.
Absolutely Beautiful August 30, 2006
The String Quartet has provided such a beautiful album. With a fusion of its talented and spirited strings, the Quartet leaves you with captivating and poignant emotions.
Best of Coldplay & string music worlds February 22, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is definitely the best album by the String Quartet. The anthemic Coldplay sound is transformed into a beautiful classical/soundtrack experience. The result is simply breathtaking! Highly recommended. Just one minor problem: they didn't include The Scientist...
