When it comes down to it, Prospekt's March is an inconsistent, but incredibly exciting half-hour of music.

An intriguing and eminently listenable offering, only time will tell whether the Prospekt’s March EP indicates the band Coldplay could have been or might yet become.

More than just a quickie disc of extras, Prospekt's March actually stands as the sturdiest Coldplay collection since A Rush Of Blood To The Head.

None of this is major but it is enjoyable, worthwhile for the devoted -- and it's nice they can get it separately instead of plunking down cash yet again for a deluxe edition.

With their revised sound and twitching energy, these sensitive lads are primed for something even bigger than their current little-kid-in-a-big-arena shenanigans. A few elegant, cringe-proof words couldn't hurt.

If you're like me and love VLV with a passion then this little EP is prb a dream come true right? More VLV type songs? The opener of VLV but with lyrics and longer? Fuck yeah!
But do these live up to the album or are these just forgettable B-sides they just wanted to put out for the fans knowing they weren't that good.
NOPE...well. At points kinda.
Lost+ is unnecessary, why does Jay Z have to be on this? The original wasn't really screaming for a Jay Z feature on it.

The Viva La Vida sessions were something else.
A little under half a year after Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends was released, Coldplay released the Prospekt's March EP, containing new songs and new mixes of previous songs. And since I just reviewed Viva La Vida, I though it would be fitting to cover this EP as well. And while Prospekt's March isn't as strong as the previous album, there are still several amazing moments.
