Advantages: great songs

Disadvantages: none

X&Y was the third album released from the band coldplay, now the first album had been absolutely brilliant, and the second had been even better, I was sure that when the third came out that it would still be good but would fail to quite live up to the two albums before it but again they proved me wrong putting out 13 incredible songs and making their best album still.

The first song most people will know is track 4, fix you. It is a really slow song but shows off his singing voice very well as he manages to reach those really high notes. it's a very touching song and a really great listen.

Speed of sound is another really good song, it kind of starts a bit like clocks did with a similar piano part and then it gets going and is also a great song like clocks was too. it's a quite fast song from coldplay and you might even think it's a bit more rocky but the piano is quite mild, it's a good mix though.

I'm not sure why but the hardest part is my favourite song off the whole album, I think its just the lyrics that make me drawn to this song and it is sung so beautifully too. I think Chris Martin is such a great lyricist and a great singer too and he can show off his skills in this song, and also in the whole album too as all the songs on this album were just fantastic and blew me away.
