Title: Poetry For The Masses
Review: In an ideal world, all music would have this much style and substance. But it's not an ideal world, it's Coldplay. At least we know of one band that has mastered high art, yet found away to make it commercial and accessible. This has to be one of the most poetic and elegant CD's I've ever heard. It's quite cinematic. It's very nostalgic and has more of an 80's sound. But it's impressive coming from someone that is so contemporary. I thought everyone had forgotten some of music's glory days. Coldplay to the rescue. We should all thank them for being students of great music. In an era when most Rock bands are annoying clones of each other, Coldplay has masterfully found a way to stand high above the crowd. It's hard to make music that's truly captivating and that seizes the senses, but "X&Y" succeeds on so many levels. This album is truly a diamond amongst ordinary jewels.
