CD Reviews
Buy this for the B-Sides

"Great single of course, but any Coldplay fan MUST buy this for the song "World Turned Upside Down".. what a catchy tune, and this song would be a great single all on it's own. Very upbeat! Don't know what rationale goes into making a song like that a B-Side, but it easily would have been one of the top songs on the full length X&Y.. Perhaps bands do this to stimulate single sales, and if that is the case.. it worked! Nice pacakaging too.. For any fan, this is a "must have".."
Coldplay Does It Again

"Coldplay Has Another AMAZING SINGLE. Fix You is a great song starting with Chris and his piano. Soon the rest of the band kicks in and rocks the rest of the song.
THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN: This song is the highlight of the b-sides and starts off with the words X and Y. From there the song gets better.
POUR ME: ANother good song from Coldplay that is heavy. This song would be better not live."
Excellent EP

"This EP is absolutely fantastic. It really annoys me that most people have heard "Speed of Sound" (best song on X & Y), but haven't heard "Fix You".
"The World Turned Upside Down" is the highlight of the b-sides. This song should have been put on X & Y. "Poor Me" is also pretty good. "Fix You- Live" is excellent. The timing of the blast once the drums come in is a few milliseconds late, but other than that, it's fantastic.
It's cheaper to buy this EP on iTunes ($3), and benefits go to the American Red Cross."
Great EP even for the casual fan

"This EP is a great collection in just a few tracks. Fix you is of course the newest single released by the band and it is accompanied by Pour Me in a live version with The World Turned Upside Down. This is a great song that could have made it onto the X & Y album. I would advise people to buy this EP off of itunes as the profits go to Hurricane Katrina relief. So if you are interested please consider it."
