Coldplay has seen massive success, selling over 100 million albums worldwide. But they've also faced a lot of backlash from people who think their success is not deserved. The band's lead singer made a joke about this as soon as the recording begins, by introducing the band as "the Backstreet Boys" before correcting himself. Personally, I don't think they're awful but they don't really interest me much either. But they're decent enough for me to include them with all the other Storytellers albums I'm posting.
This concert took place about two weeks prior to the release of the band's third album, "X&Y." That album would go on to hit Number One in 32 countries and sell 13 million albums worldwide, making it the best selling album of 2005. But just two of the songs performed at this concert were from this album: "Speed of Sound" and "Fix You."
I kind of rued the day I decided to post this album, because it needed a lot of work. Unfortunately, it came during the 2005 to 2006 time period when the people behind this TV show thought it was a good idea to put voiceovers on top of the music. This happened for all but one song. Worse, on some songs it even happened two or three times! That's why there's "[Edit]" in most of the song titles. I tried to fix this problem using UVR5, but in some spots the underlying music was damaged, and you can hear some iffy bits. But after fixing all that, I discovered the lead vocals were low in the mix. So I had to run all the songs through UVR5 again to take care of that.
This album is 41 minutes long.
