I've been addicted to this album for months and still some tracks are very likeable.

X&Y is not an album to be missed. I think it's superior to it's predecessor, and expands the band's sound in a good way.

Excellent album, although not as good as A Rush of Blood. Third best album.

It's good but not great, not their weakest either but it's got along way to go to reach A Rush Of Blood To The Head or Viva La Vida. Talk and Speed of Sound are the stand outs.

X&Y is Coldplay with some more electronics thrown in. Somehow, I like it better than Rush of Blood. Square One is crazy good, Fix You, not so much. But like everything by Coldplay (with the possible exception of Clocks) the popular stuff is not the best stuff.

i don't like to like coldplay. my loss. but there is so much music out there that appeals so much more to me. and there is only a certain amount of time for each of us to explore...i don't want to waste my time listening to this perfect boring quite good crap.

Relistening to this for the first time in some while and I'm finding myself enjoying it a bit quite surprisingly! Grows on me with time!
