i'm still digesting this one. so far, i can tell you it's a departure from their first four albums. it does have a lot more piano than they're known for, much like the track "Truth Doesn't Make A Noise" from DE STIJL.
No motivation, eh? An impulsive decision, I take it? What's your relationship with the White Stripes anyway? Wanna lie down on that figurative sofa and talk about it? ;)
i really like the White Stripes. should I have said Coldplay instead? i'm not going to reverse my stance on Kraftwerk and The Cure, since I've been fans of both for over 20 years. White Stripes and Coldplay have both been around for barely 5 years, and i've warmed up to X&Y more so far. i haven't found the right time to fully explore GET BEHIND ME, SATAN yet. so based on that, chossing the White Stripes was the honest answer to your impulsive question. i have 4 of the 5 WS cds, as I still need their eponymous effort. i haven't heard a note of it. and Blue Orchid, the current single, isn't as nice as most of Coldplay's latest. The Kraftwerk set is fuckin' awesome, so that's a keeper. I like my porn (PORNOGRAPHY by the Cure). I forgot to even list DON'T BELIEVE THE TRUTH from Oasis, which i also got in its first day of release. i'm not too high on it yet. i've only fallen for the first track, Turn Up The Sun. the first single Lyla is boring in my opinion.
who'd have guessed you'd 'prefer' Coldplay over the WS after your 'not so positive view' on Coldplay before the release of their 2nd album? that means they've become a great band (right?)
BTW i don't know if it's just me, but I got the impression that Chris' voice isn't all that anymore during (current) live performances.
I guess Martin has sung Yellow too many times. i say that because he lets the crowd sing most of it nowadays. i never liked Yellow much at all.
i was down on Coldplay when their second album came out because i felt they were super-saturated, and overated. and they still may be overated, but i don't let the amount of attention they get influence how i feel about the music if its good. i loved and still love Clocks, so their stock rose in my book.

but some elements of their melody lines start to bore the hell out of me after a couple of times.
