coldplay's new album is out

After a few listens...... I think X & Y is a decent album. By that, I mean I am able to listen to all of its songs..... instead of just listening to 1 or 2. After the first listen, I thought everything on it sounded the same.... they sounded coldplay. I think coldplay tend to pick the more mediocre songs as their first single. My favourite album is still the first one, my favourite tracks being yellow and shiver..... having said that, I am fine with them not turning into weirdos and coming out with some electronic weird "noises"..... like radiohead. I would say it is a "safe" album..... and I am absolutely fine with it. Also.... I think the new mariah carey album is good too.... finally a comeback album.
