by Coldplay Review 
Welcome
to the X&Y by Coldplay Review page: It's hard to believe but it's been three
years since Coldplay released A Rush of Blood to the Head. Now they are back with
their third record X&Y. All of Coldplay's releases share one thing in common;
they take some time getting into. When I first listened to Parachutes in the fall
of 2000 I was not impressed. After a week it was the only thing I listened to
for a six months. When A Rush of Blood to the Head came out it also took a few
weeks for it to grow on me. The same thing applies to X&Y.
Starting
off with the opening track "Square One" it is apparent that the record is a little
more sonically dense than the band's previous efforts. While X&Y is a far
cry from being experimental it's just enough of a change to make the new songs
fresh. "What if" starts off as a slow piano song that finally builds up to a crescendo
that exemplifies the transformation of Coldplay's sound. "Fix You," "White Shadows,"
Low" and "Twisted Logic" are instantly fan favorites. The hidden track "Til Kingdom
Comes" was written for the late great Johnny Cash who passed away before he could
record the song. It is a shame Cash did not get a chance to record it, but it
makes a fitting and positive end to the album.
X&Y was a long time
in coming but it was worth every bit of the wait. I cannot wait to hear how these
new songs translate live. As one of the most eagerly anticipated albums of the
year Coldplay does not disappoint with X&Y.
