Coldplay- X&Y
ok, a lot of people dislike the band but i for one was looking forward to the new album. like the with the white stripes album- i cant help but feel critics were influenced by the reputation of the band when dishing out superlatives such as "greatest album of the decade" and "a masterpiece". its good. not brilliant but good. while songs like "what if", "X&Y", "twisted logic" and "talk" are great songs, to me the album as a whole just sounds quite....i dunno..similiar. it all sounds the same. been a bit underwhelmed by the "hottest albums of the year". im praying the nine black alps debut makes up for it.
