Title: X&Y is British Pop at its finest
Review: Coldplay's 'X&Y' is British Pop perfection, a beautifully crafted but flawed masterwork not afraid to take musical risks, but alas, not courageous enough to take lyrical risks. The best tracks on the album are the ones that raise the bar of British Pop: 'Fix You', my favorite track for its emotional lyrics and music, 'Talk', for its inventive lyrics and catchy chorus, 'Square One', which has multiple layers of beautiful music, and 'Twisted Logic', with its astounding guitar chords. The rest of the songs on the album follow Coldplay's musical formula in top form while staying safe lyrically (which is strongly the case with 'Speed of Sound' and 'A Message'). 'X & Y'is ambitious, thoughtful, and musically strong, making up for some lyrical repetitiveness that gives the album its minor but forgivable flaw. It is highly recommended for fans who preferred 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' to their debut album 'Parachutes'.
