I bought the newest Coldplay cd a while back, and it totally rocks. It’s called X & Y.

It’s a bit of a departure from their first two albums. I was commenting to DH that it seems like they’re seriously channelling U2 on this record, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve been driving a Volkswagen Passat since I put a dent in my car, with a pretty decent stereo and the cd sounds great on it.

If you’re looking for songs like “Spies” and “Yellow” you won’t find them here. But the cd still rocks and I like to see my favorite bands challenge themselves to do something different, and do it well. Bravo.
