Coldplay
3/5
Coldplay has an iconic sound, distinct from anyone else I’ve ever listened to. Sonically distinct, curious message in their lyrics. Puts me in a thoughtful mood.

Hard to listen to… so depressing. The X-ray notes said they were ‘confrontational performers’. And I can understand they must have been to be able to create this kind of sound without ending it all immediately afterward.

The driving beat was just… monotonous. The rhymes were good, but just too much sameness.

Punk’s not my thing - just doesn’t flow, makes me edgy. But maybe that’s the point. This album was at least consistent and made me pay attention. I can appreciate the musicians’ artistry. This sound can’t be easy to reproduce consistently.
Beatles

What a delightful classic rock album! Transports me to the 70’s with nearly every song, but I heard a few tunes that surprised and delighted me. Excellent!
