    In truth, of the eight previously unreleased tracks, one is a not-massively-adventurous reshuffle (the Osaka Sun mix of ‘Lovers In Japan’), another a 48-second long incidental piano piece, another the version of ‘Lost!’ that features Jay-Z on autopilot (ie, still quite amazing) but is on the flip of the single.
  2. Pitchfork
    60
    Just as "Viva" did an admirable job of troubleshooting the band's lazy weaknesses while expanding their sound, Prospekt's March offers a truncated version of their svelte and marginally progressive new formula.
  3. Rolling Stone
    50
    This EP collects recordings from the sessions for "Viva la Vida," Coldplay's most sonically tricked-out record, but the new songs feel too conservative after Viva's world-music-laden sprawl.

    Unbelievably good. Amazing for a collection of songs considered not to be used as A sides.
