Album Description
Available in:
X&Y es el tercer álbum de estudio de la banda inglesa Coldplay, lanzado el 6 de junio de 2005 en el Reino Unido a través de la discográfica Parlophone. El álbum presenta influencias de la música electrónica y fue producido por la banda y Danton Supple. Su carátula es una combinación de colores y cuadrados, que es a su vez una representación del código Baudot.
El álbum es considerado un hito en la historia de la banda, llegando a ocupar altos puestos en varias listas en forma global y ocupando el primer puesto en el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos. Con un total de ventas de 11 millones de unidades, X&Y llegó a ser el álbum más vendido de 2005 a nivel mundial. En líneas generales, recibió críticas positivas, aunque si alcanzar las de su predecesor de 2002. Los sencillos extraídos del álbum incluyen "Speed of Sound", "Fix You", "Talk", "The Hardest Part", "What If" y "White Shadows".
User Album Review
You've heard the single, read the reviews and listened to the interviews; everything suggests Coldplay's new album is going to be great. But it's not until you hear the first few bars of the opening track that you know that the band are going to achieve everything they hoped and dreamed of.
This album is superb. It'll silence their critics, amaze their fans and win them a whole new legion of admirers. It might even bring about world peace! I'm sure that was one of Chris Martin's objectives for this album...
"Square One" opens the record in typically anthemic fashion: 'Is there anywhere you want to go? The future's for discovering'. Martin has the knack of writing lyrics that affect individuals on a massive scale. Thousands have fallen for his simple songs about hope, loss, love and happiness. X&Y is full of touching eulogiessuch as "A Message" and "Swallowed In The Sea" which express complete and honest love for a partner.
Much has been made of Coldplay challenging U2's title of biggest band in the world. Martin may spend a great deal of time emulating Bono by talking to politicians and canvassing support for his causes but, unlike Bono, these issues haven't crept into his songwriting. There are no protest songs here.
On this record Martin proves once again that he's an excellent singer while Buckland has become, according to Chris, a 'guitar hero'. Add bass player Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion and you have four great musicians. Their powers peak on "Talk", a fantastic song that is, on an album of big songs, positively gargantuan. More evidence that Coldplay are far and away the best at what they do. Imitators such as Thirteen Senses, Keane and Longview can't touch them.
Other album highlights include "Low", perhaps the most frantic song they've recorded, which features some awesome guitar licks. And the secret final track, "'Til Kingdom Come", where the threadbare acoustic guitar contrasts wonderfully with the big album sound.
Martin has repeatedly spoken of howhe loves every minute of being in Coldplay. His passion is genuine; he's living his dream, making music he loves and playing live to thousands of adoring fans every night. And Martin is doing all this with his three best mates. Coldplay are a closely knit group of musicians, a band of men with one aim -to make the best music in the world. On the epic X&Y they're on the brink of achieving that goal.
