To be honest, I'm not shocked at all. Not that the album isn't good, but face it, evey good band goes through the same cycle. The third album is the most challenging, despite what every always says about the 2nd one. I honestly didn't expect much out of X & Y because of what happened to my other favorite bands, Oasis and The Cranberries, on their 3rd album. I expected it to be a dissappointment. I think the first half of X&Y, up until Speed of Sound, is great. After that, I'm not sure whether I like it or not. I knew when I heard Speed of Sound that the album wasn't going to be "Ok Computer", I mean, that only comes around once in a blue moon. I'm not trying to be negative or anything, just accepting what is happening. Chris was right when he said that everyone was gonna trash the third album. It's just the way it goes. If it isn't a masterpiece by this stage, it's going to look plain horrible (even though it isn't).

So far: I diffinitely think Fix You is the one that sounds like the "old" Coldplay. I really like Square One, but I can't really tell what I think of the rest of the album yet.

how bout to [email protected]? please?

Yes, the KEY of SOS is different than that of Clocks, but the chord progression is ALMOST exactly the same. Just try singing the melody of clocks along with the intro/verse to SOS. It's the same. It is.

I'm not even going to listen to the first single on the radio, nor will I read any reviews. I want to experience the full album, by myself, all the way through the day it's released :lol:

I always record myself and just come up with a zillion different ideas as to what would sound better, and just use the best ones ;)
