If you are a recent fan of Coldplay as I am and have their newest album it is fun to buy this set and go back in time to the beginnings of a musical odyssey. Chris Martin reveals an almost naïve vulnerability in his first album Parachutes and then evolves to an uncontained ecstasy in later albums. His voice really matures throughout these four albums.To me Chris Martin is a lyrical genius who captures real emotions and situations in poetic beauty. Some of the time he channels his pain into beautiful expressions of love gained and lost. I feel he has good insight into the human experience. At first he is singing about how he would bleed himself dry then in the last album he sings about not wanting to be part of death and all his friends. So it seems like he has a heightened consciousness where he values himself more in the end.Before I bought this set I thought X&Y was the best album, but I was very surprised by A Rush of Blood to the Head. I'm almost thinking now that that album is better.The truth is when you get this set of CDs you will go into a Coldplay zone and play these albums over and over again for days on end. They really are that good and I admit I've been obsessing over them. I never had a band I liked this much in all my 48 years of living. To me Coldplay is the ultimate listening experience.~The Rebecca Review

My son was so excited for this. He's collecting CDs so he has hard copies of everything he likes before physical goes away.The flimsy box/cover is very disappointing. I realize it's a good deal but seriously? The cardboard could've been a little thicker.It's still a good deal at around $25 we got it for.

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.

Such an awesome CD.
