I'm thinking they already had a massive fan base ready to eat up anything. Coldplay didn't really have that with X&Y...Plus, Dani California is a fantastic tune, you gotta give it that....:\

Yeh, I guess the singles were alright. Dani California is by far the best on the album. I think Coldplay had a fairly large fanbase before X&Y, and their was more than enough hype surrounding their lead single to send Speed Of Sound to number 1. I think Viva La Vida really got them back on track and they really moved forward with their sound. Which sadly, I'm not a fan of.

True I think X&Y is their worst.

Whaccha chattin' bout bruv! Coldplay were insanely huge before X&Y came out! Rush Of Blood To The Head has to the present date sold more worldwide than X&Y (by more than 2 million) and has bettered the performance of X&Y by going 4xPlatinum in the US and 8x in the UK, while the latter has 3 years since its release also done 8x in the UK but only 3x in the US. Parachutes had even sold like 8 million worldwide by 2005. You could probably argue that they were the biggest band in the whole world well before X&Y even came out.

If y'all wanna get ultra depressing, Nickelback's All The Right Reasons LP sold more than 10 million worldwide. Sigh.

Yeah, I did a little research after that and found out the same. For some reason I thought X&Y was by far their best selling album...my bad...:|

I know I haven't been here in a while, I sorta "fell off" the internet as of recently. Anyway, I'm listening to this album and I am so pleased, so happy and greatly anticipate the future of this band. Each decade there is a pop band that absolutely defines the decade(off the top of my head, I'm thinking of The Beatles in the 60's and Oasis in the 90s) and I'm sure that the 2000's are the Coldplay decade.

This album is a great step forward for them. I believe this is the band's "Rubber Soul", where they take a giant leap forward and go into a more interesting area. Bravo.
