Title: Eventually Every Band Lays an Egg...
Review: so who's ready for an omelette. This just doesn't even come close to the previous albums. The whole album is about Chris Martin's voice, much like every new U2 album is about Bono's voice. I got the sense from the X tracks that they're trying to take their music in a slightly different direction, while most of the Y tracks resonated more strongly with the previous albums. I'm all for bands going in new directions; I'm just not sure this one is headed in the right direction, musically. Puts me a bit in mind of Pink Floyd, actually. When the albums just became about Roger Waters (e.g. The Final Cut), that was the end.
Is the review positive or negative?
