Scissors rawks man.. "Laura" is one of those songs that's would stick in yer head for weeks. Shhhh MO...

Anyway, Don't kill me but I'm more of a Brit lover than the American bandstand so my favorite albums this year are:::

1)Coldplay - X&Y (I'd still prefer Parachutes over any albums but this one is a recording masterpiece. Simplicity and ballads at their besh!)

2)Athlete - Tourist (The next Coldplay maybe - much more fun and less depressing than CP to listen to)

3)The Killers - Hot Fuss (You know this one)

4)Oasis - Don't Beleive the Truth (this one is not well publicised but its a gem! even if you're not an Oasis fan. Some songs are different than what you'd expect)


You guys prob. have listened to these so tell me which songs are your fav!!!

Sorry mate! Well I'm not much of a weeviewer.. But here goes!

Coldplay - X&Y

The thing with this album is, It feels like Coldplay has outdone themselves again. When I was waiting for "A Rush.." to come out I was expecting another electric riff from Johnny Buckland to soar through with Martin's acoustic in the background. But that wasn't what they did. Its the same with this album. Its faster, and simpler than previous albums. But I feel that this is the key to why this album is easier to relate to. I'll just talk about the songs I love best..

1) Fix You - I have always loved a good ballad. Think "Hey Jude" or "Let it Be" from the Beatles and this one is probably going to slot in somewhere along those lines. Nowhere near the previously mentioned classics.. But good enough for today. The four part harmony at the end reminds me of how much we missed these. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison used to do it and they've made songs so much prettier. If anything, at least listen to the last section.

2) Speed of Sound - I don't know about other people, but when I saw Coldplay performed this one live on AOL, I fell in love with it straight away. It's a more rhythmic "Clocks" IMO, and doesn't sound so much like the movie anthem of the former.

3) Talk - This one is probably going to be released as a single cuz it sounds really poppy. I love the how the lead guitar and the bass complements each other so well and with the drum beats in the background.. cool..

8/10 - Most anticipated release since Oasis's "Be Here Now"

BOW DOWN TO COLDPLAY!!! SCURRY!!! GROVEL YOOU SCUMM!
