^ European media loved X&Y. American media not so much. Quite dichotomous.

one thing i always thought was interesting was how bad rolling stone went off on coldplay about X&Y (in the actual review) but for months afterwards praised the album in other articles etc..

but, it was the fact that a 3 star review was filled with so much negativity since 3 stars is considered a good album.

i think that review smelled of someone being let down after some expectations.

X&Y is a 4 star album by itself.
Only in the shadows of A Rush Of Blood To The Head is it a 3 star album.
