I was looking at metacritic.com's review of X&Y (not bad, 70 out of 100) and chanced upon this interesting review on Cokemachineglow

http://www.cokemachineglow.com/reviews/coldplay_xy2005.html

 

It's old I'll admit, and there are factual inacuraries (I think), but it has a sly wicked sense of humour and it's heart is in the right place, though maybe misplaced in some parts. The review can be scathing at times, but I found passages like one describing X&Y as resembling music made by a "1970’s progressive rock band..." illuminating. Some were just downright outrageously hilarious (or offensive, depending which way you look), like calling Twisted Logic an offensive Ok Computer C-side :o for its laziness :confused: :lol:

Yeah, I'm kind of getting bored of the album myself. *starts listening to "Sheep"*

that's probably one of the fairest reviews i've seen yet

^ Guess there are some of us who are still grappling with how to look at this album and where it stands in the great continuum of music :)

Well at least it's a balanced review.

I totally agree with the review.

I'm surprised. Haven't seen any posts calling this review unfair yet... :stunned:

he tries to hard to compare the music and songs of x&y to other artists and other songs

 

I dont think its the best cd (arobtth is) but i think that its the second----i love all the songs---from music to lyrics

 

everyone has different taste of music and opinions----whats good for one, might not be good for the others---thats life :P
