That taste in his mouth on The Hardest Part? Bittersweet. His head? In the sand. The clouds? Silver lined. Still, the man can flat-out sing, and when the band whips up its beautiful hurricanes and he stops trying to fix us (yes, there's actually a song called Fix You), X&Y has moments where you really can lose yourself, particularly on the title...
