Recording information: 2005.
Although Coldplay was already big before A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD's 2002 release, nothing could have prepared the British band for the album's Grammy-garnering runaway success. In addition to becoming a full-blown rock star, frontman Chris Martin remained in the media spotlight through his marriage to actress Gwyneth Paltrow and the subsequent birth of the couple's child. What followed for Coldplay was, reportedly, a difficult and lengthy recording process where the group tinkered extensively with their signature sound and eventually arrived back at square one.
"Square One" is, in fact, where X&Y, the band's third album, begins, with a subtle, dreamy keyboard line giving way to a barrage of razor-sharp guitar riffs and Martin's plaintive vocals. In keeping with RUSH's overall theme, the songs of X&Y aren't simply catchy singles so much as engaging and meticulously crafted tracks that fit seamlessly together. Many of the record's songs clock in around the five-minute mark, revealing that the quartet feels no obligation to create short, snappy hits; instead they take their time establishing a resonant, anthemic atmosphere, most notably on the slowly building "Fix You." It's clear on X&Y that nothing about Coldplay needed to be fixed, since this album serves as a potent reminder of the band's charms and talents.

Editorial Reviews
By ratcheting up their guitars and still singing about everyday themes, Coldplay are recasting their nerdy-student Britpop as Important Rock Music without sacrificing the homespun vibe... - Grade: B+
Spin

3 stars out of 5 - Coldplay's third album finds this remarkable band cruising into their prime...X&Y is an exceptional pop record.

      Coldplay's X&Y was well worth the wait FANTASTIC
    Review created: 09/22/05
    12 of 17 people found this review helpful.

    I've always been a Coldplay fan and "A Rush of Blood to the Head" is one of my favorite albums... probably ranking in my top 25. After a three-year wait for "X&Y" there were high expectations for the British groups third album. And what was to be expected? Melow? Ballads? Bigger band?

    And X&Y combines all of that - surely a maturation from the first two albums. The songs are more complex (the lyrics as well) than in the past and seem to call upon the band more heavily than in the past. But like all Coldplay albums, this CD grows on you and with each passing song, it sounds different and means something different that it did the play before.

    The great part about this album is its growth - starting with the strong Square One which crescendos itself - the tracks build upon one another, ebbing and following. Each song is so uniquely different, but beside each other, X&Y is certainly not a collection of tracks but truly an album.

    In my opinion, X&Y was worth the three-year wait. Enjoy.

    This, the band's third album and first release since 2002's wildly successful "A Rush of Blood to the Head," is a well heeled and stylistically mature piece of work.

    I knew this band would go places when I first heard, "Yellow" off their first smash record, "Parachutes" in 2000. 18 months in the making, this new album from the now critically acclaimed band is already well on its way to multi-platinum status. And, the band has reached the same pantheon rock status as U2, The Dave Mathhews Band and REM. And like U2, the band has been picked up by Apple to do a signature iPod advert. No doubt, the popularity and fame of the band have been fueled as much by lead singer Chris Martin's tabloid marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow and their new one year old daughter, Apple, as by their music. And the ensuing hype and anticipation definitely must have weighed heavily on the band. But I think Martin and the band deliver. With the group's melodies and Martin's lyrics sung in an often distressed and pained falsetto, the group draws you in with catchy, pop-infused hooks and driving rhythms and base.

    Coldplay's music is definitely an aquired taste. My 8 year old son calls it "sleepy rock." Many critics call it "dream pop" and have belly ached that the new album is repetitious and a retread of their same old sound. I actually think Martin and crew have branched out into some new stylistic territory with some country and traditional rock strains in addition to their well-worn synth
    pop sound. And, their signature sound and poetic lyrics continue to strike a very personal and emotional chord for me.

    The album leads off with "Square One." The song begins with an ethereal tone and then blasts into a riveting anthem with the drumb and base track strongly underscoring Martin's lyrics. The album's first single, "Speed of Sound," is equally majestic and riveting. Take for instance the key refrain:

    "All that noise and sound
    When Birds go flying at the speed of sound
    To show you how it all began
    Birds came flying from the underground
    If you could see it then you'd understand."

    I'm not sure I understand it, but it's quite beautiful and imaginative.

    The second single from the album, "Fix You," is equally melodic and mesmerizing. Given how much joy seems to be part of Martin's new family life, it's amazing that he was able to draw in the emotions for this ballad; the lyrics are all about loss and lonliness. "You can't sleep/Stuck in reverse/And the tears come streaming down your face/When you lose you something you can't replace/When you
    love someone, but it goes to waste/Lights will guide you home/And ignite your bones/And I will try to fix you."

    My other favorite tracks on the album are "Talk," "What if" and "Till Kingdome Come." "Talk" resembles so many songs from those late 70s and 80s glam synth bands like Kraftwerk. "What if" is a beautiful ballad sung by Martin who also accompanies with piano. It sounds very similar to the hit single from their second album, "The Scientist." Finally, "Till Kingdome Come" closes out the album as a bonus track. When I saw the band at San Francisco's Shoreline this past summer, Martin talked about how this was a tribute to the late, great Johnny Cash. The simplicity of this songs with it's raw lyrics and solo accoustic guitar are a stark contrast to the soaring ballads and synth pop of the rest of the album. It's very disarming and yet it sticks with you.

    All in all, this is definitely an album worth having.
