Coldplay's new album X&Y, due for release on Tuesday 7th June is quite different to their previous stuff. Alot of it is more upbeat and their sound is generally different. The first few bars of Talk for example could easily be by Runrig and the start of Fix You could be by Sigur Ros. I've not listened to it that much, but I can certainly say already that it's not a disapointing album and I can't wait for the gig on the 27th. I'm especially looking forward to Fix You; About half way through when it gets all lively, the atmosphere will be absolutely amazing I bet.

It's definitely not slit wrist/depressing music as alot of people seem to assume.
