This is the third single to be taken from the bands amazing ‘X&Y’ album and I definitely think that this is a wise move by the band as it is probably one of my favourite tracks from the album. This is an excellently written track, borrowing the riff from Kraftwerk’s ‘Computer Love’ and in doing so creating a dreamy, truly atmospheric song that is hard not to appreciate. This song explicitly highlights the bands amazing song writing capabilities and shows that the band are still going strong as we enter into 2006.
I really enjoyed the bands ‘X&Y’ album and feel that although there are weaker songs on the album, this is a song that encapsulates Coldplay at their best and shows that they are still one of the greatest British bands of our time. ‘Talk’ is an extremely enigmatic song and is one that I am sure will become a classic given a few years. Although Coldplay are a band that will not be to everybody’s taste, there is no denying that there is significant talent in this band, and that over the years the band have written some truly inspirational material that will be sure to inspire musicians of the future.
