Well...it's awful. Like most of X&Y it sounds like a pretty decent Coldplay tribute band.

What If shall be Coldplays worst song in my eyes for a while I think.

Zach De La Rocha

Twisted Logic Til Kingdom Come is one time the album doesn't constantly try to be emotional and epic and the one time it actually is.

Tom Chaplin

Why is Charlie Brown debated? Brown is a colour...

If X&WHYDIDWEMAKETHIS wins I'm disowning you all ;) There's a reason the public, press and the band don't like it... X&Y

Dan Reynolds PS. Thom Yorke is also in Atoms For Peace ;)

X&Y. Easily. Weird how the fan perception here is so different to the general music community. Almost every non-Coldplay-fan I've spoke to think their first two albums are far superior to everything else - with X&Y being their low point. IMO, Parachutes is a mini-classic. X&Y is a bland, trite, cliched, "how-epic-can-we-make-this-song??", rework of A Rush of Blood to the Head.

Are we supposed to be judging these as musicians or songwriters or singers? Noel Gallagher is an average musician but a stunning songwriter. Florence Welsch is an average songwriter but an amazing singer. Just curious :) Jonsi, Ian Brown and Ashcroft should be there IMO.

You can just add a vote for X&Y from me each round until it goes out. So...X&Y

Clocks Politik must win!

God Put a Smile Upon Your Face

I know right? In the space of three years I might have heard new albums from Radiohead, Coldplay, Noel Gallagher, Aphex Twin, and Sigur Ros!!

Amsterdam

I agree, so much more alive than the album version. I was so excited when I heard that and then so disappointed when I heard the album.

Also before the "champion of champions" finale at the end, I think a b-sides elimination would be good.
