I believe that this is Coldplays best album. Do you know coldplay? Tthey 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 which are formed of the colours black, grey, white, red, orange, purple, yellow, green, and blue. It appears like a strange picture and artwork, and after I play the music, the picture still makes no sense. However, I had already heard two of the songs from "X and Y" many times on the radio and it's a real embarrassment for me to say that I went and bought the album straight after I heard it on the radio before the release of the album was joined by the likes of hundreds of fans, all over the world.
This album is definitely another Coldplay, with its keys different, its larger accent of Jonny Bucklands excellent Guitar playing and a sadder and more nervous singer consequently he tries to develop his voice, if not on every song because sometimes the voice will change like of quiet rubbish voice and then change to a fantastic singing voice. I will say that U2 is a complete step on this album of X&Y (similar in Guitar, in keys, in singing) I will even say some parts of the CD play more like a U2 album than coldplays other albums. So I definitely passed the CD completely - I passed it to a friend so as he would hear it. My friend said he loved it and he said "surely, there was a larger coldplay, on a chief of rails manner like an X becoming anything that is a Y." I asked him what he meant and he says "you repair the white shades". But it is only one of his jokes he makes.
The other difference on X&Y is the keyboards which are obviously playing more and more during the album. This music is for grown-ups, as it takes music on a grown-up level. I modified my understanding of Coldplay, when I heard their new songs it was on the radio and not by the stage as I'm embarrassed to say I'm a private inidividual and I'm very uncomfortable in crowds. However, I do have many friends, I hear my friends say they heard the songs by the stage to be played rather well. I heard about these songs being played on stage with a high level of great selection. Most of my friends favourite new coldplay song is called "Fix You" by certain people it is a truely impressing song that coldplay played very cold. However you must remember that the pianos/keyboards are still there. But to say anything of Coldplay I will say that they are now more than one volume of rock, and they are maintaining more of the keyboards, and they have added a new complete measurement
to their music.
The opener, "Square one", begins with keyboards in abundance and Chris Martin who sings in his usual brilliant voice, adjusts his voice very quietly which sounds rather rubbish until he starts a talented shining voice (its vocal sound outdistances other bands) It is thus an excellent opener. 10/10
"What, if?" a question song, is an impressive way to complete Bucklands guitar playing. Chris Martin sings "Oooh, that's right, let's take a breath, try and hold it inside." I would join him in singing my own line "Oooh that's right, wear your shoes and breath towards x and y." 9/10
"White Shadows" is one of Coldplays heaviest songs. Of course it begins with the keys, explodes with Guitar which takes the whole of the listenning and loading of your ears. Although the song goes rather fast, it is six minutes long. A perfect song for a private individual as we enjoy heavy music." 8/10
"Fix You" is a song of repairing someone and it's certainly the best song on the album. ( it plays like cheifs of rails) It is also an anthem, and it is divided into two parts. The opening part is accompanied by the piano and keyboards. The second part is, where Guitar is played and that song becomes a burst of hotplay. Of course Coldplay are on the higher form in this song. 10/10
"Talk" is a song about a conversation and is another impressive request. If the reef is taken, it sounds like a power station, it has catchy lyrics and immediately gives you an idea for how the singer is feeling. The guitarist is filled with luminosity and he plays it here as well as he plays it on " Fix you " This is surely one of the better theifs of the ears on" X and Y " as I listened it more than 23 times. 8/10
The cheif rails excellent song of the album title "X&Y" is another slow playing song. Chris Martin starts simply and the violin plays in the background. This song is then connected all together at precisely the right time once again by the Guitar and drums. It is an admirable song which resounds in a way that is very marked in the beginning. The song sounds like a choral society and belongs to a higher quality musically and lyrically. 9/10
Initially, coldplays albums were listened to only by private individuals. The speed of sound was a fantastic listen for all the private individuals. I am a private individual but it is more true that much of Coldplays songs are now listened to by thousands of people and there is a resemblance I noticed that the album of X&Y was belonging with masses of fans and no longer just music for private individuals. Speed Of Sound uses piano, combined with drums and Guitar, and the effect is excellent. Do not forget the vocal performance of Chris Martin as it is once again a point above other singers and his voice is outdistanced to other bands, and lyrically the song is largerly fantastic with the lines "climb up a tree, every chance that you get" at which point I must say I do enjoy climbing trees I used to go up a long time ago at school to drink beers. The singing is surely more confident and happier than the other songs. A higher placed cheif of rails song for private individuals and the masses at the same time. 8/10
A message is a darker and sadder song. (It plays like a song you expect to hear on advertisments) It starts off very withdrawn with very reflective vocals, only by the time its finished you just want to clay off from work, clay off from the streets, clay off from the wildlife and just listen to x&y all day. Lyrically and vocally the song is the packaged song on feelings. Once again certainly, I can say I'm a private individual so I don't know many feelings but this song by Coldplay uses a great technique of musical harvest to become a two step stage during the song, as it receives broader lines towards the end and it makes more sense. Guitar is like a machine of maintenance and plays more strongly than you could possibly wish it to be played (like a power station) and the drums take a step inside, to give an advertisement feeling and a feeling that you just want to clay off. Contrary to much of the other song on X&Y, the song does not finish on a remarkably well. Before the end Martin does not slow it down again and all the feelings become right descented which suggests he was surely feeling something different that the feeling that was present at the beginning of the song. (I don't know any feelings myself). 9/10
Message is followed by a sad feeling of the album song "Low". Precisly it appears that this song has deeply remained like a complete forgery from the very beginning of the song as it sounds like a poor feeling. I can't tell you what the feeling is (I don't know any feelings). It is however a very pleasant song to have on the album as it is very impressive lyrically and Martin has another vocal performance of talented shinging or however you would call it. Some-of the high remarks that I place with colplay turn round on their handles to strike this song here, but to tell you the truth if you were to say this was a bad song you would be a complete forgery because the ending is fantastic. 9/10
The hardest part is other cheif of the rails fantastic song more matured by Coldplays vocals. It went slowly and quietly and then with great luck it withdrew to become faster and it was filled with shining vocals. Lyrically this songs is much belter of Chris Martin. The volume of his voice is like a swear word and some fantastic images of the wildlife. It is a much more pleasant than other songs in the order of the lyrics. Coldplay is like the choral society as it is very emotional, and the hardest part is a much sadder song than the others and possibly

coldplay
it might make you cry with droppy wet tears. (I won't cry as I don't have any feelings.) 8/10
After the hardest part, follows this one "swallowed in the sea". Swallowed in the sea is a small + strange song. All starts very slowly with an accent which is placed on the quiet vocals. However, its a stockbreeder song, with music that belongs only on an album. A song to continue onto a more important one. It is more one history song, and seems to continue for very long time to join with twisted logic. Joined on with twisted logic it sounds absurd in the long run of the two together. (like my friend the parrot catcher said "It is certainly more like a story than a song." In spite of its length, it is and still is a handler, a stockbreeder, a very amusing song to resound, such as you sitting there in the workplace catching all the wild parrots and selling carpets in the streets you suddenly get swallowed by the sea! (I wouldn't be surprised if you did.) 9/10
The album ends with "Twisted Logic" It is of course complete absurdity. Perhaps twisted logic could be described like my friend the parrot catcher - he is completley absurd. It is the most different song on the CD which rather slowly ends and rather slowly begins. Oh no, no, no my word constructions, and my final review constructions are not too especially helpful but it is slightly in my private individual eyes that I would be proud of my review. It resounds, full with hope attending in the places of this CD, and it gives you an idea of my friends. I will just say that this song has a slow beginning with an absurd ending with very large quantities of the loudest instruments. It is in a cheifs with rails manner an excellent + striking way to finish the album. 9/10
X and Y have a secret premium track which is not recorded in its tracks list. "Til Kingdom Comes" is an acoustic admission. It resounds coldly and it is astonishing to believe it, as if you are in the studio with REAL volume. It is another song that rings out and resounds in an emotional and a very marked way, and makes you want to clay off. I have to congratulate the guitarist on this track as I have played it on my own guitar in the same very marked way. It becomes a premium track that anyone with a guitar can easily play for their fun and how is that feeling. I can't tell you because as you know I don't have feelings but this song I know to certainly be a premium track described by many friends as "a smashing secret track" and that is definitly true. A fantastic end with X and Y, it can satisfy you thus the feeling which you spent your money well and have spent your time well listening to this CD. 8/10
Chris Martin sings =simply brilliantly. The only weak point of X and Y is sometimes the order of the lyrics, however the music is even alleged to be one of 2005s and 2006s best music. I believe that it is better than "rush of blood to the head" that album is great but it attacks you thus in a different way that is not as pleasant as it is to have blood in your head', because it is pleasant to have blood in your head, and that title I can say is better than the title an X and a y. However Coldplay add so much more depth to their music on this album. Of course this review is best left now as it appears above, if your a private individual like me with no feelings or if your a fan of the crowds than the masses you will both enjoy X&Y at the same time that is even what some of the other reviews, reports, have to say. Buy X&Y, if you want to buy it.
