Box

4 cd set includes alot of great songs,great price

I have been a huge Coldplay fan for quite a while, but I have never brought myself to purchase their entire albums. Don't wait to do it, just buy it now! This contains their first 4 major releases (Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, X&Y, and Viva la Vida). It does not include Prospekt's March, Mylo Xyloto, or Ghost Stories. The packaging was excellent, coming plastic wrapped in a cardstock box holding the 4 jewel cases. The individual disc cases were nothing special, the same as any CD would come in. There is a typo on the packaging. For X&Y, there is a 13th track that is not listed entitled Til' Kingdom Come. I found it weird that it was not listed, however when I imported into iTunes (use Apple Lossless for best results), Gracenote found the listing and it included that track. Definitely not a con! No discs were scratched, and there were no playback flaws at all. The albums themselves are absolutely exemplary, and it makes you wonder how (no offense), people fall for noise pollution like All About That Bass, and Blank Space. My personal favorite is A Rush of Blood to the Head, and it is great listened to in one sitting in order. The tracks are a mixing of somber, mellow songs (Scientist, Trouble, Fix You) and upbeat pop-rock songs (Speed of Sound, Talk, Lost). Standout tracks from the whole pack: Trouble, Yellow, Shiver, Politik, In My Place, The Scientist, Clocks, Speed of Sound, Talk, Fix You, Life in Technicolor, Violet Hill, Lost, Viva la Vida, Death and All His Friends. This package is at a great price as it is cheaper than purchasing each album separately. All in all, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a getaway from whatever the radio is playing these days, and wants a taste of what music should sound like.

This is an amazing deal. I thought maybe I would get a single case with 4 CDs for this price, but i was wrong! all 4 CDs in their original packaging that fit nicely in the sleeve. One of the best things about this is that the song listing for each cd is on the back of the sleeve so if you cant remember the name of a song or a track title you dont have to dig the case out. I am a huge coldplay fan and I needed to replace my my collection so this was an amazing deal. If you go to any store you will pay at least $12 for each album. Anybody who was ever on the ropes about buying any Coldplay Cds can get their first four masterpieces for a price that is really unbelievable! For People who are wondering if they should buy all 4 albums... do it! Parachutes is a great acoustic/soft rock album with Songs like Yellow, Shiver and my favorite Everythings Not Lost. A Rush of Blood to the Head is one of the best Albums of the new Millennium - Amazing mixture of Rock/Soft Rock/Acoustic that is literally a Masterpiece from start to finish. X & Y is a great album that has mixtures of electronica and stadium rock. Fix You is an amazing song along with Speed of Sound and Swallowed in the Sea. And My personal favorite Viva La Vida (Or Death and All Of His Friends) is arguably the best rock album in the past 10 years. Put it on and from start to finish there isnt one bad song. So if you are bored of the same old nonsense that infects the airwaves today, do yourself a favor and pick up four great albums for a amazing price!

Everything that was pictured was what i received no more no less, and the perfectly sealed

Perhaps it's because the hits on these discs are so great that I was disappointed by the other tracks. I was expecting to find a few "hidden gems" among all the well-known songs, but the rest were pretty much forgettable. In fact, if you did not know which ones had been their hits, one listen would be all you'd need to determine that. I wonder if Coldplay or any group has a good idea when they are done with a song how it will be received.

Very pleased with this 4 box collection!

Good deal and great music.

Awesome in every way!
