^i totally agree. i couldn't have said it better

X&Y's great album, for all that I care. Of course all songs are not great, but SOS, TKC, THP or Talk....they are all excellent. IMO, naturally.

Too many synth-sounds, not enough band-sounds. I think that's the one thing that makes X&Y most different. In my opinion, that's not a bad thing (I phrased it that way in the first sentence to paraphrase the thoughts of others, not my own). They would have taken a lot of shit for making AROBTTH II: Electric Boogaloo, so they changed things up a little bit. Maybe they'll go back to their roots on LP4, who knows?

Well it's not bad ofcourse, they gave us again an amazing album. We can see that they grew with their instruments etc.

Chris his voice grew also, and the rest their voices also, still very good lyrics.

 

But, maybe too much electronic stuff, X&Y (the song) is good, but too much electronic sounds, and that's sad.

 

The fourth album has to go back to the Parachutes and AROBTTH period :)
