Coldplay's latest album, "Viva la Vida" or "Death and All His Friends," sees the hit British band branching out artistically - lead singer Chris Martin explores a deeper vocal register while the music itself takes on something of a new feel. The album is similar enough to past releases to please old fans, while different enough to create some new ones. At only $9.99, it's a good investment - and those who've held on to their record players can purchase the vinyl version for $10 more.
