Coldplay Album Preview: X&Y. A Complex Stadium-Rocker
I can’t wait for Coldplays’ next album, due out sometime in June 2005.
I’ve downloaded the first single off the new album, “Speed of Sound” and I like it a lot…
Review of Coldplay’s “X&Y” latest album:
mtv.com – News – Coldplay Album Preview: X&Y A Complex Stadium-Rocker: “The first single, ‘Speed of Sound,’ follows, and it’s about the strangest track the band could’ve selected to serve as its grand return to the spotlight. Martin’s voice is cocooned by the pulses of an electric piano and synth chords that give way to a driving piano line and circling guitars, making the whole thing sound strangely like a minor version of ‘Clocks.'”
and..
“So what to make of X&Y? It’s an organic electronica album. An minimalist, experimental disc with a whole bunch of power chords. Brian Eno for frat guys. Read into it what you will, but at the end of the day, it’s still a Coldplay album. Which is probably what they were gunning for all along.”
