The question of whether today still high-quality rock music is produced, Coldplay likely answered with her third and best album to date clearly yes. Was one in the past 30 - 40 years of spoiled gifted exceptional artists such as Pink Floyd, Genesis or Yes with great music, one finds surely love about this record. Coldplay understand it to find the right mix of keyboard, organ and piano in order to put their music, with not just an electric guitar is the guiding instrument in a modern way. The acoustic guitar finds its use, eg. As a beautiful accompaniment in "A Message" and a whole one can speak of a large range of instruments and sounds that are used in the album. Fundamentally, the songs from the dreamy chords of keyboard and organ, the guitar playing of high quality acting Jonny Buckland and not intrusive drumming of Will Champion put together. These confident singer Chris Martin with outstanding vocals and Guy Berrymans work on bass there is nothing to complain. "Square One" is a good introduction to the album. After an opening sequence in the typical dreamy kind comes the rocking chorus and you guessed already so slowly the balance between calm and rock, which is reacted very well on the whole album. Among the highlights of the album include the title "What if", a grandiose rock ballad with appealing melody, "Fix You", my personal favorite, which develops from the rock ballad to a well-organized rock song, and finally "Speed of Sound", the well- should now be well known by the radio. Basically, one can say that there are on the entire CD a bad title, but ultimately it's everyone's own decision. In the event that you are disappointed after the first hearing of the panel, you should not simply put the CD into the closet where dusty, but they listen to a second and third time. From my own experience I can say that the album needed his time until one understands its true value and addictive thereafter. We can only hope that Coldplay continue their good work and other musical groups an example of them take for an early end to the ordinary rock music of our time.
