Title: The good outweighs the bad
Review: 'X&Y' has been hyped and touted to infinity and beyond, but the simple truth is, this album is far inferior to another contemporary release - 'Don't Believe the Truth' by Oasis. None of the songs really rock hard like they did in the previous two Coldplay installments but there are a few gems in this album. The first single, "Speed of Sound", is pure pop/rock, and a very nice song. The title track is also a winner, and bound to be a single as well. "White Shadows" is a fast moving song, and probably is the most sonically pleasing song on the album. The best song on the album is without a doubt "Swallowed In the Sea", and it is easily one of the best Coldplay songs to date. 'X&Y' breaks no new ground, and can almost be called a little "dull". Coldplay makes good music, and 'X&Y' will not disappoint anyone who is already into Britpop. Recommended.
