Coldplay

Coldplay is one of those bands that have their absolutely brilliantly amazing songs and then some brilliantly shit-house songs. But possibly their best album is "X&Y". It's choc-full of sleeeepy songs that you could fall asleep on a rock to.

I think what makes this such a good album is the amount of songs that are really good on it. The album doesn't have one mediocre song on it. All of the songs are well made and have a lot of thought put into them. IF you're not into those sort of songs that you can relax to then this album probably isn't for you.

The best song on the album would definitely have to be "Talk". I'm not really sure why but it just stands out from the rest and I've kept on coming back to this song to listen to it for ages (about 2 or 3 years now). Other great songs on it include: "A Message" and "Swallowed in the Sea".

Unfortunately there is a downside to this album. As with most of Coldplay's songs, the songs tend to be repetitive with choruses repeating sometimes up to 4 times in a row. Ridiculous right? This might be why the songs mentioned above are so good. THEY DON'T FRIGGEN REPEAT EVERY 5 SECONDS.

So. Buy this album? Thats a maybe. I found the album worth the money but you might not. Coldplay isn't for everyone. If you like sleepy, relaxing songs then buy this album. You'll feel so cool even antarctica will be too hot for you :P
