Format:Audio CD
Although X&Y is a solid album, it has suffered from the overanticipation that has accompanied it since long before its release date. The album is filled with melodic tracks such as 'Fix You', but lacks the great anthems that were present in their previous two albums. The upbeat nature of 'Speed of Sound' is a rarity on this record. This is still an album worth owning, but if you are going to buy a Coldplay album for the first time, buy 'Parachutes' or 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' as they contain the variety and anthemic sound slightly lacking here.

Coldplay are one of the worlds biggest bands and have produced another stunning album chock full of blissful anthemic songs.
I kept Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood To The Head in my car CD player for 6 months apiece without ever getting bored of the wonderful tunes. This album will be exactly the same I have no doubt.
You will already have made your mind up about Coldplay by now. This album won't change it one bit either way. 16 Million people bought the last album and I expect them all to pick-up this next slice of beauty.

Now I'm a full-time Mum and "don't get out much", I find myself in an '80's void, tending to buy only the albums I missed out on buying in my late teens and twenties. Sad, but true.
However, this all changed when I saw the Coldplay set on Live8 a few weeks back. I had of course heard of the band (and sadly knew more about the fact that the lead singer had a baby with Gwyneth Paltrow, and they had named the baby 'Apple'...). I found I was moved by the lyrics, and felt I must buy the album. I am so glad that I did.
I'm not very good at all the jargon that goes with album reviews I read in newspapers. This is a beautiful album, and surprisingly uplifting. I play it when relaxing, when the kids are screaming and driving me mad, when I need a lift as well as when I'm slowing down. It's great, buy it. I did!
