The album, which features influences of electronic music, was produced by the band and British record producer Danton Supple. British record producer Ken Nelson was supposed to produce much of the album, however, many songs written during their sessions were ditched due to the band's dissatisfaction. The album's cover art is a combination of colours and blocks, which is a representation of the Baudot code. The code should mean "X&Y", but it is misspelled. It actually means "X9Y".
The album has been considered a landmark achievement of the band, topping many charts worldwide, including the United Kingdom and United States, the latter being their first. With accumulated sales of over 8.3 million units, X&Y is 2005's best-selling album worldwide. Reviews for the album were mixed; many critics felt X&Y fell short of its predecessor, A Rush of Blood to the Head. The album has spawned the singles "Speed of Sound", "Fix You", "Talk", "The Hardest Part", "What If", and "White Shadows".
Special Dutch Edition
The Dutch edition contains a second disk with the following songs:
"Things I Don't Understand"
"Proof"
"The World Turned Upside Down"
"Pour Me" (live @ the Hollywood Bowl)
"Sleeping Sun"
"Gravity"

Square One
by Coldplay
You're in control
Is there anywhere you want to go?
You're in control
Is there anything you want to know?
The future's for discovering
The space in which we're traveling
From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass, draw me a map
I'm on the top, I can't get back
Whoa whoa
The first line on the first page
To the end of the last page
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
Oh, you just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too
Are they bleeding all your colors into one?
And if you come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult it fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you're stuck in square one

God I miss this era of Coldplay.

@Daniel Spector la banda lo dijo asi en el documental de viva la vida.

I miss it too but I get it. It was time for something new and fresh. If they continued this sound, it would have become redundant and fans would have gotten bored and lost interest. To stay fresh and motivated, progression has to occur and for that to happen, things have to end so that something new can begin. Not everyone will join them on that journey and they probably lost a lot of their old following but I'm sure they gained a new one. It's the natural progression of not just artistry, but anything in life.

@Dherlax thats because they moved in a different direction after this. I love this sound, but I am sure they just wanted to move on from it at the time.
Daniel Spector
@Dherlax really, I did not know that the band didn't like X&Y btw I do not speak Spanish, I have your comment translated - ideally it was accurate
Dherlax
@Daniel Spector es el disco que mas detesta la banda, por mi parte considero a AHFOD como un mal disco de Coldplay pero si un gran cd de cualquier artista pop

I AGREE I was just thinking the very SAME thing:-)
