X&Y - Coldplay Reviews

In the summer of 2005, the eagerly awaited third album from Coldplay, X&Y, finally made its appearance after delays even more dramatic than their previous album. Having steadily risen into the major leagues with their first two albums, 'Parachutes' and 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head', this was supposed to be the album that Chris Martin ...  Read the complete review

I could never have been described as the biggest fan of Coldplay's music, but after seeing them perform live twice in the last year I have completely changed my mind. Being introduced to the bands music quite a while after they had been established meant I had to scour the internet for copies of their albums as I didn't possess any of ...  Read the complete review

Coldplay are a massive force in the world today. This London-born band have taken over the world since their forming in 1998. Selling over 50 million records all over the world, it could be argued that they are the single most succesful modern British bands. At the start, this album looked promising. Songs such as Speed of Sound and Fix ...  Read the complete review

X&Y for me, is probably the least consistant Coldplay album. It seems that in some of the tracks lack emotion or purpose, and just sound like Coldplay should do, but without that certain pazazz. And sometimes you don't want a band to sound like what they should, you want them to develop. But that doesn't mean its a bad album. My favourite ...  Read the complete review

Coldplay's album titled, X and Y is the latest album from the indie rock band. The album consists of twelve tracks. SQUARE ONE opens the album. When I first heard this it was apparent that it is featured in adverts and other television programmes so is instantly recognisable and a great opening track. My favourite track ...  Read the complete review

Coldplay are one of the worlds most well known bands and of late they have been in the news a lot with their song Viva la Vida being said to have copied from other songs. But that doesn't matter as this album is all about the music and it shows Coldplay before they started experimenting. I have to say that this is one of my favourite albums not ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

This album is without doubt, my favourite album of all time! In my opinion, there isn't really a weak song on it. Most people will have no doubt heard songs such as Speed Of Sound, Fix You, Talk and The Hardest Part on the radio, but the other tracks on the CD are probably as good as these or better. The album starts with my favourite ...  Read the complete review

A very deep album. I went to see them perform at the Reebok Stadium when they brought this album out and to this day I get shivers listening to "Fix you". They had to perform it twice as it was being filmed for the music video and it was just jaw droppingly brilliant. They kind of just wandered on singing "Square One" and that ...  Read the complete review

This album showed a different side to Coldplay. While still having the traditional Coldplay-eske ballads like 'A Message' and 'Swallowed in the Sea' and the superb 'Fix You', X&Y has more upbeat, more powerful songs like 'White Shadows' and 'Speed of Sound' which really made this album impressive for me. It didnt have the same impact as its ...  Read the complete review

I believe that this is Coldplays best album. Do you know coldplay? They are a band of musicians who attach the letter X and the letter of Y and make that X become the Y it comes into their admirable ballads and melodies more than 13 times. This CD is very pleasant thing to hear and the cover is made well with small boxes in the middle ...  Read the complete review

Ok… before I start, I have a slight confession, I didn't used to be a huge Coldplay fan, and to be honest I don't know an awful lot about them except for the legendary songs like "clocks", which quite frankly if you haven't heard of… well yeh… Anyway... X&Y. NME call it "their best yet", and although I ...  Read the complete review
