Fix You' tourNow the band is touring behind last year's X&Y, an album that further cements its amalgam of U2, Echo & the Bunnymen and '80s Brit pop bands into the Coldplay sound. Martin still often sounds like he's channeling Bono doing a Jeff Buckley impression of Ian McCullough, but the band's comforting and pleasant songs and Martin's way with a melody and a heartening turn of phrase still expertly pluck at the heartstrings.

The album's second single, Fix You, sums up the band's approach musically and lyrically. (Martin has on separate occasions said the song was inspired by ``Coldplay Jrs.'' Muse and Elbow.) It begins softly with a mournful church organ that grows into an anthemic chorus and middle section before it ends quietly while Martin's lyrics reassure listeners that it will all be OK.

``When you try your best but you don't succeed, when you get what you want but not what you need, when you feel so tired but you can't sleep, stuck in reverse,

``Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones and I will try to fix you.''

Obviously, Coldplay can't fix everyone and eventually there will be a backlash to the band's soothing (now mainstream) alt-rock sound and nice-guy anti-image. But if you're willing to let it in, it will do its best to make your insides feel warm and fuzzy, to give you hope as you go about your day and to leave a pretty melody floating inside your head.

It may not exactly be rock and roll.

But millions of people like it.
