Negative Positive
Title: Overrated, and one of the worst albums of the year
Review: I'll start off by saying that I enjoy a fair amount of Coldplay's music.X&Y;, however, I could not get into. It lacks innovation, imagination, and variation. All of the songs are the same melodically. They all start slowly and build into a crescendo, but one that dissapoints every time. If you're looking for similar music, try Rufus Wainwright. He has a very unique voice, but unlike Coldplay has some true vocal talent, and his music starts slow and builds, finishing well. Coldplay, it seems, has tried their hand at this--having already saturated their work with acoustic ballads and piano-driven songs, it seems as if they are doing something new in the hope that it might catch on. They were lucky, because most Coldplay fans ate this album up without really thinking about how atrocious it is. Truth is, Coldplay failed miserably.
Is the review positive or negative?
