iTunes Review
Coldplay first attained worldwide success on the strength of their memorable romantic-dream pop - the classic "Yellow", from its Parachute debut being just one gleaming example. By the time of its third album, X&Y, the band had grown to such ridiculous commercial heights that it could easily have stuck to earlier formulas without risking or adding anything new. Yet Coldplay explores a lot of new territory here, referencing everyone from Kraftwerk to Radiohead. The opener "Square One" launches things with sweeping notes before the drums skitter into a simmering beat and the melody builds to majestic heights. The cinematic scope of "Low" incorporates layers of ringing guitars, lush arrangements, and intricate, mesmerizing melodies, while "Talk" pays homage to '70s Kraut-rock. And then, of course, there's "Speed of Sound", simply the latest in a string of massive hits that have made Coldplay one of this decade's few new arena-worthy bands.
Customer Reviews
Their Best Album Yet
When I heard this for the first time I was disappointed. I loved a Rush of Blood to the head and this was, at first, not up to that standard. On repeated plays however this album just grows on you. The stand out tracks are: Speed of Sound, Fix You, Talk, White Shadows, Low, The Hardest Part and the excellent Swallowed in the Sea. After a while this album is far better than any of their other material and you will find yourself listaining to their newer songs rather than their older ones. A excellent album for Coldplay fans or those who take a interest in their past music.
If it aint broke, don't fix it
When Coldplay announced they'd be releasing their third album I wondered where exactly they would go with it. Would they stick with the tried and tested mellow alt-rock sytle that is their own or would they be adventurous, and push the boundaries with something new, using their huge success as backup? Well, to be honest, X&Y is pretty much the same as the other albums before it, but it gets away with it beautifully. Sure, we've heard this stuff before, but when the soaring Speed of Sound kicks in alongside other superb tracks such as Fix You, you remember just why Coldplay are one of the biggest bands of today. Original? Not really. Great music? Most definately. The success of X&Y is thoroughly deserved. Coldplay are a band who truly care about the music they are producing, and thier latest album really shows off their talent. Where do Coldplay go from here? To be honest, it doesn't really matter. Just sit back and enjoy X&Y, and find out for yourself why it is surely one of the best albums of the year. 4 / 5 PJ
Just don't listen to hard...
Hats off to Coldplay for another great album. From start to finish, the atmosphere in X&Y is electric, not least because of the newfound electronic slant to the music, with Hammond organs and synthesized sounds underscoring most of the songs. Chris Martin's voice is almost hypnotic as he croons his way through delicate tracks like Fix You and Swallowed In the Sea, in their usual melody-powered style. My only advice is not to listen to the lyrics too hard. While Chris Martin would like you to think the lyrics are the result of hours of meditation and reflection, the reality is that they are almost gibberish. By carefully stringing together lyrical clichés and abstract thoughts that rhyme, the lyrics in X&Y give the impression that Martin is singing something meaningful, without actually being about anything in particular. But that's Coldplay - atmospheric music - and it's beautiful the way it is. X&Y wouldn't sound out of place in an elevator, it's that easy to ignore, while slipping into your subconscious. I'm just saying that they could be swearing at us and abusing us in their lyrics and we probably wouldn't notice, let alone care.
