Coldplay return with their third and one of the most highly anticipated new albums this year and it certainly delivers at an epic scale.....
Songs like the Talk and Square One brim with the underated Jonny Buckland's guitar riffs.
Along with A Message and the 2nd amazing single to be released Fix You see Coldplay setting new standards in their music, the melodies and harmonies culminating in an album of indelible depth.
The 1st single to be taken from X&Y is Speed of Sound which coaxes a sense of understanding, while the melancholy refrains of What If and the tender strains of title track X & Y give it a tempestuous edge with a gentler, romantic feel...
The arrangements venture into new ground, uncharted territory yet reassuring. X & Y is a prime example that rock can be intimate and assuaging, by reaching deep into the soul, revealing something relevant within its borders.
I loved their debut album Parachutes, I adored Rush of Blood to the Head, but this one will blow your mind to depths you will not understand, and when you do, it will be time to hand over the batton of Britains greatest Band to Chris and the boys......
Ignore the shocking critics of the USA, they dont no music like us Brits do.
Afterall, it was us Brits who invented Rock & Pop....
