I love Coldplay! It's hard to find music that bears both cleanliness and amazing quality, but this falls right in there! Fix You is an amazing song, by the way. I reccomend it for anyone going through tough times

Deep, thoughtful lyrics. Ages 11 and up!
I love Coldplay, they're my favorite band. My favorite songs on X&Y are Yellow and Swallowed in the Sea, they both remind me of my lovely boyfriend, because we dont see each other very often(Swallowed in the Sea) and he brings light to my dull social/love life(Yellow). Overall, they write songs about heartache, loss, and love. They dont use profanity or any explicit language. Their lyrics have meaning and soul to them without being overwelming to a younger audience. I would recommend this band in general for anybody above the age of 11.

- My highlights are:
3rd Best Coldplay album, which means it's better than most albums on the market.
More electric than Parachutes, More spacey than A Rush Of Blood To The Head, More clarity in messages than Viva La Vida. This is the "More" album. Everything in this album is kicked up to 11, and that's a good thing. You can rarely find good mainstream alt. bands these days (especially clean ones), but this is one of those few. I highly recommend this album to any one with taste in music (And if you're reading this you definitely do)

EVEN MY FOUR YEAR OLD LOVES IT!
I discovered Coldplay a few years ago when I was looking for good music without violence or bad language. I have all three of their CDs and this is my favorite! The music is creative and soulful and although the lyrics are simple, they are interesting and clean (hard to find now days!) My four year old daughter is very taken with this band and especially loves the song and video for FIX YOU (an excellent song). Love it!

Good.
I really liked it. Especially Fix You, Talk, and Speed of Sound, I guess were my favorites. They sound nothing like The Fray, except for one bit in Fix You. But yeah all of it is really good.
