It's 192 kbps, but there's a few blips and scratches to keen listeners.

This album cannot fail. That is a bald statement of fact. If

ƦX&YƆ does not break eight figures, then EMIĆ» BritainƆs last

free-standing major record label ƻwill fall into inexorable

decline, the World Bank will foreclose on the British

government and massive tracts of Norfolk and Cornwall will

crumble into the sea. ItƆs a remarkable thing, but with an

artist as fantastically self-critical and flaky as Chris

Martin, his label still decided it was a good idea to issue

a profit warning to the stock-market because his bandƆs new

album was a few weeks late.

Ā 

The label quickly denied it, of course, and insisted it was

also down to other parts of their business needing to

perform Ć» ColdplayƆs tardiness was just a minor part in the

blip. But thatƆs codswallop. You do the sums Ć» ƦA Rush Of

Blood To The HeadƆ sold 11 million copies. When Coldplay

were late with this one, the label got the shits and fired a

shot across the bows.

Ā 

How Chris Martin must have loved that. So it is that this

has become the most anticipated third album since OasisƆ ƦBe

Here NowƆ. ItƆs now the main talking point of the record

industry, of the stock market and, somewhere down the line,

of fans.

Ā 

And because of the interest, the label have thrown together

a containment and secrecy operation that makes the Opus Dei

look like a transparent, all-embracing force for

enlightenment (let them sue Ć» I have a good priest).

To get this CD to NME, the label employed a special envoy

who flew with a sealed parcel to Belfast where it was slowly

slipped over the table in a city centre hotel. The name

Coldplay appeared nowhere ƻ it was marked simply ƦThe Fir

Trees albumƆ and even the track titles were adjusted. NME

had to sign to a letter promising not to let anyone look at

the record pre-release, never mind hear it, on pain of a

slow, medieval death.

Ā 

All this meant one of two things. Either the label felt they

had one of the all-time great albums on their hands and

would do anything to stop it leaking early onto the web. Or

they had been sold a pup and were undertaking a brilliant

marketing manoeuvre to make everyone think it was one of the

all-time great albums.

Ā 

Since ƦA Rush Of Blood To The HeadƆ, there have been very

obvious changes to ColdplayƆs life. ThereƆs the Hollywood

star wife, the baby, Chris Martin emerging as a surprisingly

effective anti-paparazzi punch-thrower. But equally as

telling are the similarities between life around the

recording of that one and of ƦX&YƆ. Again, exhausted after a

relentless, punishing tour, Coldplay had to sit down and

decide if they still wanted to be a band. Having sold more

than anyone ever dreamed, broken bigger in America than

thought possible for a British band, they decided to retreat

and come up with something even more mighty than before Ć» to

reinvent the wheel, as Chris Martin must now regret saying.

Ā 

Have they succeeded? Well, there are no tracks on ƦX&YƆ as

immediate as ƦThe ScientistƆ or ƦIn My PlaceƆ or ƦYellowƆ.

It takes time to seep in and get to you. But then Ć» and its

easy to forget Ć» ƦA Rush Of BloodƠƆwasnƆt immediate either.

Those songs might feel like part of the fabric now and that

record might have opened with the slam-dunk of ƦPolitikƆ but

it was an album that took a lot of listens.

Ā 

Here, ƦSquare OneƆ picks up where ƦPolitikƆ left off. ItƆs

Coldplay doing Radiohead, hoking round the studio for new

sounds and shapes. It starts quietly before Chris chimes in

with that broken glass voice, now as identifiable as any in

music, and Johnny Buckland works through The EdgeƆs

collection of effects pedals. ItƆs about cracking puzzles

and codes, solving riddles Ć» a recurring Coldplay obsession.

ItƆs about this record Ć» once you get it, it makes perfect

sense - and its about Chris Martin.

Ā 

Lucky for Coldplay and for us he remains riddled with

self-doubt. He also remains absolutely intangible. The more

he says and the more that is revealed about him, the less

sense he makes. There were stories about Martin putting in

18-hourdays to get this record right. There were stories at

the same time about problems at home and much of this album

could easily by read as an open letter to his wife. ƦWhat

IfƆ, with its cry of ƦWhat if you donƆt want me there by

your side/What if you donƆt want me there in the lightƆ is,

on the face of it, a simple message to Gwyneth Paltrow. The

gentle, pulsing big ballad backing does little to change the

idea. But thatƆs too obvious and too trite for Martin. ItƆs

no leap to see it as a message to fans. Martin, ever the

pessimist, is unsure if he has pushed things too far, if

Coldplay have been front and centre too long and if he might

lose the muse and never write another word or note of worth.

Ā 

This nagging doubt is at the core of ƦX&YƆ. ItƆs a record

about how we end up with the perfect one and the fear of

keeping that intangible light burning. ItƆs also about a

bunch of middle class boys lucking out, creating alchemy and

becoming the biggest band of their generation while still

scared shitless theyƆll end up working in a call centre.

ItƆs a brilliant record of paranoia. Oasis third album was

an overblown opus to the excesses of cocaine and the

good-life. RadioheadƆs was a claustrophobic, intense look at

the end of the world. Coldplay Ɔs is about love and fear.

When ƦFix YouƆ kicks in, which NME will concede must be

about Paltrow (ƦTears stream down your face/When you lose

something you canƆt replaceƠ and I will fix youƆ), itƆs an

old-fashioned hair on the neck moment. ItƆs a wonderful song

that shifts from simple stark piano and voice to a ringing,

clattering burst of intent and proto-prog four-part harmony.

It will become a massive live track. Elsewhere, you donƆt

have to dig too deep to find the influences Coldplay have

mined. ThereƆs the Kraftwerk lift (from ƦComputer LoveƆ) on

ƦTalkƆ, a nod to PrinceƆs ƦWhen Doves CryƆ on ƦWhite

ShadowsƆ, some Lennon-driven Beatles rocking through on ƦA

MessageƆ and Echo & The Bunnymen here and there. They even

sneak in ƦTil Kingdom ComeƆ, the song they wrote for Johnny

Cash that he never got to record, as a simple acoustic

secret track.

Ā 

But it is U2, now ColdplayƆs natural peers, who loom largest

of all. Their shadow falls on every note, in the complete

confidence the band have playing togetherĆ» and Buckland is

not backward about emulating The Edge on half a dozen

tracks. Confident, bold, ambitious, bunged with singles and

impossible to contain, ƦX&YƆ doesnƆt reinvent the wheel but

it does reinforce Coldplay as the band of their time. The MD

of Parlophone and his shareholders can sleep easy. This is a

great, great record that has just raised the bar for

everyone. ThatƆs probably of little consequence for Chris

Martin. The worries for our great self-doubting hero about

how to better it start now.
