Coldplay - X & Y

This is a lovely record, And it pains me to say this, even if the lyrics are unconvincing, but nobody is making anything as goes as this in pop today. This album is definitely a different Coldplay, with their keys, their bigger emphasis on Jonny Buckland's guitar and therefore developing a rockier, edgier sound, if not sometimes experimental. Was this a 'U2 pretenders' album , The other difference is the keyboards which are clearly evident throughout the album. This is a more grown-up, developed Coldplay, and takes them onto a different level. But now Coldplay are more of a rock band, and now the keyboards have been added, it adds a whole new dimension to their music.
'White Shadows' is Coldplay's heaviest piece of music in their career, 'Fix You' is one of the best tracks on the album, it truely is inspiring with good lyrics. The opening part is piano, accompanied by keyboards. The second part is where the guitar comes in and the song busrts into life. Coldplay are on top form in this song,
I believe it is better than 'A Rush Of Blood' because it is so different and Coldplay are adding so much more depth to their music.
In the End, I would say this album is better than the other two, Good but not great !!!
