| Label My Food | Would you buy battery farmed eggs from a shop or supermarket?
Probably not.
Yet restaurants and cafes use battery-farmed eggs every
day in cakes, mayonnaise, fresh pasta, and many more dishes,
without telling you. If they were labelled ‘made
with battery-farmed eggs’ would you still want to
eat them?
If you care about what goes into your food and where
it comes from then Label My Food needs you.
Label My Food is an exciting new campaign encouraging
restaurants, pubs, cafes and all other food outlets to
dramatically improve the information they provide to customers
on their menus.
Whether it is animal welfare, the environment, a food
allergy, your religion or just a general interest in food
that motivates you, please show your support.

Amazon.co.uk review
To say there has been a lot of anticipation for Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida, is an understatement. Having enlisted legendary leftfield producer Brian Eno, borrowed their album title from a painting by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and made tantalising remarks about sonic reinvention, the world has been curious (to say the least) to hear what the `new' Coldplay might sound like. Viva La Vida definitely makes some departures from the band's usual formula, which happens to be one of the most commercially successful rock-pop blueprints of recent years. The plangent chords, emotive melodies, stadium-rock rhythms and universal lyrical concerns remain, but Martin and co. have gone out on several limbs here, incorporating instrumental tracks ("Life In Technicolour"), using subtle North African and Latin elements ("Yes", "Strawberry Swing"), and overhauling previously strict verse-chorus-verse structures in favour of slightly more avant arrangements. The old Coldplay still shine through (see tracks like "Violet Hill" and the title song) but even their classic sound feels more muscular and confident. The band's new flourishes, cosmetic and self-conscious as they may be, are enough to make Viva La Vida a welcome break from the old routine--Danny McKenna

 Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends January 9, 2009
Plain and simple - I've never been a big Coldplay fan but this is honestly one of the best albums I have ever listened to and I have listened to thousands and thousands - most of which have been over-rated. This is a must buy for both the hardcore Coldplay fans and for anyone who respect and enjoy quality music.
Give respect where respect is due!

 Much hyped, but very disappointing January 6, 2009
Like millions, I looked forward to this CD and bought it as soon as it was out.
What a disappointment. Instead of the sublime melodies of Rush of Blood we get overblown orchestrations that swamp any melody. The lyrics are often lost behind a wall of sound - not that that matters too much as they are generally banal rubbish.
This is a CD ruined by overproduction. But this may be a cover for poor lyrics, no melody and not a singable song among them.
Don't waste your money. Listen to their earlier stuff and wonder where it has all gone so badly wrong.
As good as ever! January 3, 2009
Coldplay are one of the those rare bands who are capable of producing consistently good albums. This album is a fantasctic journey of catchy riffs and instrumentals coupled with the usual quality Coldplay lyrics & vocals. I have enjoyed all of Coldplay's albums and to date they have all offered something different with this album being no exception. I would highly recommend this album to all music lovers.

Touched by the hand of Eno December 27, 2008

Before anything, I have to mention that this is written by someone who is not a dedicated Coldplay fan. Over the years, I have enjoyed most of their singles but was never motivated enough to rush out (or rather log on) and buy any of their previous albums.
This time around though, I picked up a rumour that their new album had Eno in the production seat. As I have the habit of picking up everything that Eno has some involvement in - no matter how small or immaterial -, I bought the album without really pro-evaluating my purchase.
Well, this album is worth every penny paid - and more. All the tracks are great and some of them are trully exquisite ("Viva la vida", "Lost!", "Lovers in Japan", "42", "Death and all his friends"). The presence of Eno is practically everywhere: the treated guitar riffs, the sonic little twists and the beautiful backgrounds - I think I can even hear him in some background vocals ("Lost!", "Viva la vida" &c). The tempo and mood in "42" and "Death and all his friends" change masterfully, from soft vocal ballad to upbeat rock tune with that insuperable Eno originality and sonic quality.
All in all, a brilliant rock album that manages to be artistic yet so emotional at the same time.
