Cons: Not long enough
Coldplay has definately progressed with its intelligent lyrics and layered, captivating music. The band put much thought into this masterpiece. Track-by-Track
SQUARE ONE-A powerful anthem with great guitar and drum playing with powerful yet simplistic lyrics like, "You just want people listening to what you say,"
WHAT IF-A well thought out song about doubt and questioning life. Lyrics include, "What if you should decide you don't want me by your side?" Good song with again, good instrumentals.
WHITE SHADOWS-A good song that is easy listening to and easy to lose yourself in. If you want to forget where you are and how long you've been there, or just hear a very good song, this is it.
FIX YOU-Easily one of the best on the album. It's a song that can be interpreted as a person who wants to help someone, or a someone who wants to help you personally. It is very personal and emotional, a great song. Lyrics include, "When tears go streaming down your face, and you lose something you cannot replace,"
TALK-A great song about needing help in this confusing world, and wanting someone to talk to. Simple, yet layered and very enjoyable.
X&Y-This is yet another one of the best songs on the album. Great melody and vocals, which include, "Diving off the deep end, and you become my best friend, I want to love you but I don't know if I can."
SPEED OF SOUND-Most people know this. The link between old and new. A great song; great lyrics and great melody. "Birds go flying at the speed of sound, flying from the underground. And birds go flying at the speed of sound, if you could see it then you'd understand."
A MESSAGE-Another beaitful and great song. The lyrics are soothing and comfortable. The music is acoustic driven. "My song is love," a great line.
LOW-A great song of feelings. The music is great and the lyrics great. "All you ever wanted to be, living in perfect symatry."
THE HARDEST PART-This song is amazing. It shows honesty and other human emotions. The lyrics and music is great. "The hardest part was letting go, not taking part. Yeah, you really broke my heart."
SWALLOWED IN THE SEA-A touching sound that shows fault and blame. The music and lyrics are perfectly combined. "You cut me down a tree, and brought it back to me."
TWISTED LOGIC-Eerie and beautiful at the same time. Radioheadish sounding, but still very unique and creative. The lyrics are some of the best on the album. Slightly political and modern day fears and concerns. "Created, drilled, and invaded. If somebody made it, then someone will mess it up. You are not wrong to ask who does this belong to. It belongs to all of us."
HIDDEN TRACK-till kingdom come-A countryish love song that is one of the best songs on the album. The acoustic is perfectly in tuned with the lyrics. The lyrics are great too. "Steal my heart,"
Overall an amazing album, enjoy! ...

Pro Reviews: X&Y
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews After Radiohead stubbornly refused to accept the mantle of "world's biggest and most important rock band" by releasing the willfully strange rocktronica fusion Kid A in 2000, Coldplay stepped up to the plate with their debut, Parachutes. Tasteful, earnest, introspective, anthemic, and grounded in guitars, the British quartet was everything Radiohead weren't but what the public wanted them to be, and benefited from the Oxford quintet's decision to abandon rock stardom for arcane art rock. Parachutes became a transatlantic hit and 2002's sequel, A Rush of Blood to the Head, consolidated their success by being bigger and better than Parachutes, positioning Coldplay to not be just the new Radiohead, but the new U2: a band that belongs to the world but fans believe that the music is for them alone. To that end, Coldplay's third album, XY slightly delayed so it follows Rush of Blood by nearly three years, but that's no longer than the time separating OK Computer and Kid A, or The Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree is designed to be the record that elevates Coldplay to the major leagues, where they are at once the biggest and most important band in the world. It's deliberate and sleek, cinematic and pristine, hip enough to sample Kraftwerk and blend in fashionable retro'80s postpunk allusions without altering the band's core. Indeed, XY is hardly a bold step forward, but rather a consolidation of Coldplay's strengths, particularly their skill at crafting surging, widescreen epics. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: Music, lyrics, mood, everything...
Cons: None
This is by far the best Coldplay album to date and possibly the best album I've heard in recent years. There is really no way to describe the album unless you hear it for yourself. It has the signature Coldplay sound but a new depth and a bit of an edge that the past two albums only showed bits of. There is more guitar (and great guitar at that), more addicting hooks and a feel that makes you lose yourself while listening. X & Y is everything that was great about Parachutes and A Rush of Blood put together plus even more.
My favorite tracks so far include:
White Shadows, Fix You, Talk, The Hardest Part
annnnnnd really all of them... ...
