Title: Good album, but...
Review: This is a good album, and it will undoubtedly sell millions of copies. Coldplay has a fun pop sound that feels tailor-made for listening with the top down on the way to the beach. Having said that, "X&Y" for all its strengths lacks in the way of originality. The album pays homage to Lennon and U2, which is cool, but I already have "Imagine" and "The Unforgettable Fire." Admittedly, what they've done here is very good, but all of it has been said and done before. And I suppose that's okay. Like Paul McCartney (a true original) said, "Some poeple want to fill the world with silly love songs. And what's wrong with that?"
Is the review positive or negative?
