X & Y - Coldplay

Yeah yeah.I was quite hesistant to get the album, with the big marketing campaign being put into to promote this album.Its been almost 3 years since their last album, and i must say this cd takes a couple of spineeroonies before one can immerse oneself into the beautiful musicianship of this band.Clearly fatherhood and having a famous Hollywood wife hasnt changed Chris Martin sharp lyrics.And on this album, his voice sounds great.On 'Square One', he croons"You just want Somebody listening to what you say ..." & it hits me rite on the head listening to this at work.Ha. The next few tracks run along nicely till "Talk" which samples Kraftwerk. This song & "X&Y" could be their next single. My favourite song on this album has to be"X&Y".U noe its juz one of those songs which u wanna put on repeat mode, n not get sick of it. I must say dun really dig "Speed Of sound","Low" and "swallowed in the sea".However the other songs in the album make up for it. Overall, i was quite happy that the album didnt sound too 'parachutes' or 'a rush of blood'. The album is great, not the best, but hey it beats crap like good charlotte & rooster 1000 times over. All in all, X&Y is worth your 18++ dollars(depends where u get it lah, i recommend u buy at gramophone.) U wont exactly get an eargasm(watever the hell dat means) but u will get little tingles on the hairs of your arms and the back of your head.

"I dive in at the deep end ,You become my best friend ,I wanna love you but I don't know if I can " - X&Y
How apt.
