Let me just start this off by saying - this is by far my favorite CP album. It got me through loosing my aunt( who was like a second mother to me) to cancer. This album resonates with you when you feel sad and hopeless. Why does X and Y mean so much to any of you? ( If it does) .. And what's everyone's favorite song off of it? Mine is A Message

I can understand why people don't like it. It just has an emotional connection for me. To each their own.

My fave album. I guess its because I can connect with it. Songs like Low, A message, Fix You, The hardest Part, Square One etc. I find I can quote them on some of my emotions. I like All the songs on the album which is why I like it best. On the other Coldplay albums I may have one or two songs on the album that I think are just "ok", but Not with X&Y. I feel a little sad that its not considered their best album, but they were going through things at that time and its shown in the songs. When I first got onto Coldplay forums, it was because I really wanted to discuss X&Y.

It is my go-to album when I'm upset and I want someone (Chris, anyone?) to sing about exactly how I'm feeling. I know a lot of people have issues with X&Y because of it's tone, but it is a masterpiece in my eyes.

Yes, So many of the lyrics come to me when I'm upset and want to express something. For example Fix You {Spoiler}"When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse" The Hardest Part {Spoiler}Everything I know is wrong Everything I do it just comes undone And everything is torn apart Oh, and that's the hardest part

I do love this album too! It has some classics.. I think Low is my favourite.. but then I love Til Kingdom Come and White Shadows and A Message! They have quite simply the BEST back catalogue.

X&Y is my second favourite album. Actually with the same reason as xandwhy mentioned. It resonates with you when you feel sad.

Same here, 2nd favorite album. Swallowed In The Sea is my favorite off the record. When they come back to NorCal, I will hold up a sign that says, "Please play Swallowed In The Sea". Hold me to it!

I was so into Speed of Sound when it came out that year, but I think White Shadows is my favorite song.

I’m usually not one for questioning track listing choices but I have always felt that Things I Don’t Understand should have been on this album.
In fact this one tops the list for me as far as b-sides that should have made their album.
It is so quintessentially X&Y in both sound and theme that I feel it represents that entire album perfectly…
If you have never heard it before do yourself the favor of checking it out especially if you are a fan of X&Y.

I love Things I Don't Understand, and I have to agree, should've been on the album.

^ That's the only X&Y b-side that I rarely listen to. The world turned upside down seems like it could be on the album to me, since the first lyrics to the song are "X and Y".
