A Rush Of Blood To The Head

I remember when people were pitching Coldplay to me as a lighter version of Radiohead. Those people are liars, and we are not longer friends. I think that they might have been confused by the fact that the singer is really handsome. It is now day 2 of me trying to listen to this album. I got 2.5 songs in the first time before I turned it off. It's not even bad, it's just dull. Don't worry, I figured out that if I just bury myself in trying to sort my email inbox, I can sort of time travel through the rest of this album. It's not very good, so far as I can tell 2/5

Just a thoroughly boring album pretty much from start to finish here. The Scientist is one of the most confoundingly popular songs of all time. Clocks is the only song worth any time here, and even that was pushing it once the rest of the album put me in a bad mood

There was nothing particularly bad about this, it's just not at all my style. Daylight is about the closest to something I'd normally listen to.

I have always viewed Coldplay as this wet blanket Radiohead wannabe that somehow made rock music so watered down and soulless even your mother in law could dig it. Other than their first two albums, which have some decent, if ubiquitous, songs, I have never dug too deeply into their catalog. And if this album is considered to be their best, I can’t imagine I ever would need to. While the 3 lead singles from this album are good enough to garner radio play, I couldn’t imagine seeking them out other than to make an early 2000s playlist (I think the video for the Scientist is permanently burned in my brain given the excessive MTV rotation). The rest of the album is pretty average. No edge, no charm, just a shitrock on which Ed Sheeran was born.

עצלני, תפל, משעמם. 5/10

Fuck this album. Haha

Coldplay forfeited the right to a fair trial long ago - their brand of middle-of-the-road, milk toast indie pop has clogged up the airways for the past decade and on that hill they must be strung up - but that's not to say this record has nothing going for it. Love them or (more logically) hate them, they have a style - in the same way a bank manager or a similarly nondescript office drone has style. It's heartfelt guitar rock, not ambitious or challenging, but still earnest enough to secure them a deluge of critical and commercial acclaim. It's a shit template, but if nothing else it's a template that they created and, dare I say, perfected. So for that I can spare this album the lowest of marks. But Coldplay suck, and that will never change. And we'll continue to love hating them.

I appreciate Coldplay a lot more than many other people, but I suspect that might be down to the age I was when their first couple of albums came out. While I still enjoyed a few tracks, this really dragged for me; I found it deeply dull. I've heard a lot of familiar music in high quality for the first time recently and discovered wonderful new things in it; I heard things in this I hadn't before too, but nothing interesting.

I like this album more than I ever have but I still don’t love it.

ee niewem taki o mn nie przekonał

Good songs but just not my type great for homework and studying tho.

Often when listening a song would start really strong, with all the instruments hitting pretty hard and grtting you pumped, and then that mope-y voice would start singing. It's certainly not a bad voice, but it feels so dainty that it takes a way a lot of energy that the songs often try and have. Obviously there are songs that work around this, with stuff like the Scientist being actually pretty good, but most of the time it almost goes for this sound with a "get up and fight" attitude yet no actual punch, and Clocks is just awful, but that's definitely due to overplaying and it just being plain boring.

2 or 3 good songs, rest boring

One long ass boring song. I didn't mind the song, but I don't really want to listen to it again.

I see the talent in the band here, but this album is kind of boring to me. Sometimes it kind of feels like they're playing just to play. Obviously, some of the songs are very well written, but some of the ideas just get pretty tired.

Coldplay was a staple in the early 2000s and dominated the airwaves much like the Gloved One in the 80s. However, this album has aged like a cheaper laminate and is starting to show its age.

The band does very little for me. There's some good songs o the album, but nothing that makes me ever want to put it on.

This is garbage, but i could be getting affected by my bad day at work

2.5 Stars

2/5. Some great slow pop songs but otherwise, a boring album. Not much is said despite the epicness it tries to reach.

I was relieved when it ended. A few highlights, but the rest is too bland for my liking

Once the initial nostalgic songs were done… rest of the album was forgettable background

I was quite keen on this at the time but of course time has revealed it to be a cynical and soulless grab at the lucrative “songs for adverts and sports montages” market. Just an album of nothing. Extra star for residual, misguided positive feelings.

2.5 stars - not actively awful just not very interesting to me

Just slow

Irrationally dislike. Look, it's impossible for me to be completely objective when it comes to Coldplay. On the exact day my divorce was final, I found myself attending a Coldplay concert. Coldplay was never one of those bands I was dying to see, but I was vulnerable and someone gave me a ticket. Plus, someone sold me on the idea of how there would be a ton of "hot horny chicks" in attendance. It was a crisp late September evening at an outdoor concert in Kansas. There was cheap reefer being passed around that gave me a headache. Or maybe it was the music. The crowd passed around a huge beachball during "Yellow". The aforementioned "hot horny chicks" were captivated by Chris Martin in a way that reminded me of old videos of women screaming at Elvis or the Beatles at Ed Sullivan, only without anything resembling passion. There was mud everywhere even though it wasn't raining, and someone accidentally spilled a cup of red wine on my shirt. That someone might have been me, who knows. But let's not bury the lead here. Attendees at an outdoor concert were drinking open cups of red wine, which sounds like something that would only happy if Coldplay was the featured performer. The concert ended with "Fix You", which seemed a little too on the nose given the current state of my life. But I knew then that there was no such thing of "Conscious Uncoupling". Call it what it is. It's a fucking divorce, no matter how hard Gwyneth Paltrow wants to spin it. Coldplay will forever be polarizing, which basically means they'll be immortal. Too many people love their red wine and beach balls and Chris Martin. Just like a good portion of us will always think of Coldplay as watered down Radiohead, U2 without, pardon the pun, the "Edge", or the Bizarro Oasis. Hell, some of their songs are easy to like. Don't expect any of them to fix you.

Coldplay were very important to me growing up. I no longer understand why.

Politik- quite generic verses and chorus In my place- I like instrumental, think rest is quite mediocre God put a smile upon your face - recognisable riff, verses actually have a melody this time👍 The scientist - just alright Clocks - catchy and memorable👍 Daylight - the verses go very slowly, this is background to me. Why do all songs on this album have to be 5 minutes Green Eyes - quite cute , quite jarring when the piano comes in Warning sign- l like the idea of purposefully searching for warning signs and reflecting that was the wrong thing todo , solid song👍 A whisper - not Sure about first chorus , has a good energy and guitar another long Outro for no particular reason A rush of blood to the head - bit of a narrative , nice buildup to first chorus, nice Instrumental👍 Amsterdam- dull until the outro, not enough to make up for rest of track This album is just very mediocre on the whole, lyrics are quite simplistic and some songs monotonous. I did really like some of the tracks but I don't think the whole album is that compelling 2/5

I really don't understand the fuss about these guys. I listened to the whole album - it's not actually horrible, it's just kind of flat.

when coldplay were still attempting to be some faux parody version of radiohead 5/10

Fine, it exists

Meh, it's cold play. Not as bad as I was expecting, but just not a fan of cold play.

I waited 20 years to listen to this album. I thought maybe, when forced, I'd find something endearing. Nope, just music to listen to while walking through the mall, I hate malls. Not the worst on the list though, so one bonus star.

Not really a rush of blood to the head, more a slow, weak, limp battle against an incurable illness.

The most interesting thing about this album is that the leader singer's ex-wife sells vagina scented candles. So there you go, make of that what you will, review out.

It's a hour of radio filler, the kind of thing you dont actively dislike but also cant bring yourself to like either.

recommended for: a good nap on a warm afternoon. I find Chris Martin's voice kind of annoying, which might impede my napping. As an experiment, I found a bunch of instrumental versions of songs off this album and really like them (especially Warning Signs). Take away the singing and this is good (if a little sleepy) instrumental post rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOkorvx50R8&list=RDv_vu_J4Dn3E&index=5 2/5 (disappointing)

As much as I tried I couldn’t get over my painful memories of a friend making fun of me for listening to Radiohead and saying they sound like Coldplay. Is this fair to coldplay? No, of course not but you know when you get really sick from eating something and then can’t eat it ever again? It’s sorta like that. Like one time I got food poisoning from butternut squash and now just the smell of it makes me nauseous. Coldplay is my butternut squash of bands

Just boring music made for supermarkets

More than half of the songs are over 5 minutes. Coldplay is pretentious and overrated.

Boring and whiny.

An album of 4 chord breakup songs. The music is okay, but not really my sort of thing. The big tracks are catchy and the appeal is obvious.

The hits you know. The deep cuts are just not there

i always find myself disappointed by coldplay albums. it feels like there’s a potential for something really interesting there, and then 2/3 of the songs sound the exact same.

Very plain. Might as well be Christian music. Good for movies and stuff ig. And I like his vocals

tedious and overplayed. 2 or 3 depending on how generous you feel.

I know I am supposed to like Coldplay. But for some reason they just leave me cold. This listen didn’t change that.

I knew three of the songs of this already, so I guess that says something about the album. The tracks are well-liked enough that they are played more often than not. But I hate to say it, Coldplay bores me. You know that scene in "Coming To America" when Randy Watson comes out and starts singing, and everyone gets uncomfortable? That's how I feel listening to Coldplay. It just isn't for me. "Clocks" feels kinda too simple, and it shouldn't, with the piano and how it's being used. And "The Scientist...." I have a cover of Willie Nelson doing it, it sounds great. It's like Cash doing "Hurt", it takes it to the next level. So yeah it just is not my cup of tea, but I can tell it was well done.

I hate being "that guy" who hates Coldplay just because it's the British thing to do. Having said that, man this is dull AF the hits aren't even great and super overplayed and the non hits are so forgettable

I thought this was going to be one that I had previously dismissed, and then upon re listening I would see what the fuss was about (as happened with Dark Side of the Moon). This is not dark side of the moon. it is a whine fest.

Slightly buttered bread.

Tepid. Colorless.

I fucking hate Coldplay. F

Not all that interesting. Some nice chord patterns, but I don't love any of the vocal hooks.

Not a big Coldplay fan, but the album was okay. Mostly I just have a hard time getting past the lead singer's voice, but it wasn't wholly unpleasant like I was worried it would be. A bit melodramatic and slow, the backing instrumentals are pretty plain. I think I would have cared about that less if the lead vocalist was stronger.

I seriously don't care about Coldplay, nor this album.

Ughhhhhhhhhhh. I don't think I'll ever understand they Coldplay appeal. I just don't think it's good much. It's boring and there is nothing special about it.

In general Coldplay is not it for me. This album is no exception. The Scientist is a fantastic song. That’s about as far as this album goes on excellence. I find their sound very drab and Chris Martin’s voice ain’t it.

Was quite interested to listen having always passed on Coldplay as bland. Maybe its expectancy bias but it really was nothing... I didn't hate it so its better than a one I suppose.

Ist so vor sich hingeplätschert, definitiv besser als alles was ich kannte von Coldplay und ist ok gealtert, hat also meine Erwartungen überstiegen aber insgesamt einfach 0815 Alternative Pop/Rock der mir nichts gibt außer paar netten Klaviermelodien und losen Shoegaze Referenzen, plus es zeichnet sich hier halt auch dieser öde Pathos ab mit dem die heute noch Hallen füllen

Langweilig und radiohead-pilled (das ist schlecht) Es beeindruckt mich einfach nicht, gar nicht. Vor allem die Vocals geben mir manchmal einfach Fremdscham, kann es nicht erklären. Eine positive Sache kann ich sagen, Green Eyes ist ein ganz guter Song und hat mehr britpop vibes für mich. Ansonsten, wie gesagt, einfach extrem langweilig. Wenn nochmal ein Coldplay Album dran kommt, hoff ich, dass es Viva La Vida...wird. Das einzige nicht blande CP Album. Vielleicht hör ich mir das nochmal an die Tage. Oder vielleicht was anderes Gutes in dem Stil, Noel Gallagher oder so. (RT)

Das war mir iwie völlig egal einziger richtiger moment of interest war ah! clocks von coldplay! Hab dann iwann auch bisschen abgeschaltet leider, aber war jetzt auch nicht schrecklich langweilig und da war clocks von coldplay drauf das kennt man ja von damals

Vodafone Werbung.

Not really a fan of Coldplay and though there were a couple of songs on there I recognised, didn't really change this opinion

Super relaxing album but not one that I will go back to often

2.2 - enjoyed Parachutes significantly more than this album. Nothing really stood out or caught my attention. Unlikely to revisit anytime soon.

They’re just so beige

Meh. But like, really meh. Had to listen to Beyonce halfway through.

It probably deserves three stars but it bored my pants off more often than it didn't.

Not bad. I was expecting better.

zzzz. boring

Bored. Very bland. The one inch I'll give this album is that it's not technically bad and it's a major part of the sound of the decade in which it was released. Hot take: if this isn't already considered dad rock, it will be soon.

Musically good but I hate it.

Not bad.

Clocks is an outstanding song, but the rest of the album passed me by. I don't remember a single line, just a general irritation with Chris Martin's vocal style (octave jumping using falsetto)..

Oh FFS, not Coldplay!! To be fair, I listened to the whole album, it was alright, but not sure it's a "must hear before you die" though.

Solid gold shit, maestro!

MOR

They obviously appeal to a lot of people, just not to me. Boring ass music.

After Parachutes Chris Martin had a realization. Why worry about interesting meaningful lyrics when you can just write a simple hook (Yellow was the most successful song from Parachutes) and let a 3 year old child write the lyrics. This is where they became the kings of the hook. During Clocks you can hear the exact second where they gave up on doing anything worthwhile musically and sold out to the masses. 2/5 as the hooks are quite catchy tbf. Lyrically Chas and Dave have more value.

Algunas canciones decentes. Politik, Warning sign. El resto, que las ponga mi dentista en su consulta. Sonido básico agradable que no llega a excitar, y la música que no excita es música agonizante. Parachutes es un disco de mejores canciones, al menos más bonitas. XO fue el último manotazo antes de ahogarse. Nadie dijo que los 1000 discos serían todos buenos.

Pop que quer ser rock.

Meh 2

La ricetta Coldplay è sentita e risentita quindi le orecchie sono talmente sature che è impossibile stupirsi per le loro canzoni più famose, però il problema che ha questo disco è che tutte le altre canzoni meno famose sembrano seguire una formula simile. Anche i pezzi più intimi sfociano praticamente sempre nel ritornello con muro di suono facendo risultare l'album noioso. Questo disco è un 2.5 che però mi sento di punire perché avevo aspettative più alte essendo disposto a mettere in discussione i miei preconcetti.

Bit dull.

Some good songs, but the album really starts to drag towards the end.

Ok I generally don’t love Coldplay but I really do enjoy The Scientist and overall I’m not opposed to how mellow this album is. A nice calming background music for working today.

Clocks is a highlight as is A Whisper. The rest, meh. I forgot I had this album in my library. I deleted it.

Boring music

I kinda feel bad for a low score but I just can't vibe with most Coldplay songs. a few were okay but most of this album I didn't enjoy listening to and I can't put my finger on it. also some of them feel too sad

Shit band, shit album. Quite like The Scientist though.

Hard to get over my Coldplay prejudice for this one but maybe I'm prejudiced for a reason. Martin's voice whilst distinctive was also a precursor to a string of whiny self important singer songwriters of the early noughties (Martin himself has hilariously played up to this stereotype on a number of occasions) and there is now something ploddingly middle class and middle aged about this type of music.

Shit band, shit album. Quite like the scientist though.

Like they set out to write the soundtrack to a series of DIY SOS. Which is fine, I guess, after all DIY SOS is a very popular show. I just find the album so dull and one paced and I struggled to differentiate between most of the songs. It’s not without its highlights (God put a smile upon your face for example) so was torn between a 2 and a 3 but I just cannot see me ever choosing to put this album on again so it’s gotta be a 2 for me.

This album is a reminder of why people could have claimed Coldplay as their favorite band at a time and place while still being taken seriously. That being said, this album already shows some of the worse that Coldplay would become. I think it’s a reminder how difficult it is to listen to this album with fresh ears in a world where Coldplay has become all that they are, with the myriad of knock-offs and sell-outs who have copied the formula that is in its early stages in this album. Songs like The Scientist and Clocks are really difficult to place in this album because I have heard them so very much outside of the album. That shouldn’t be a negative, but it makes it hard to appreciate the album as it is. 
 All in all, it is a good album with some pretty great songs (among them are both The Scientist and Clocks). I don’t think it is the greatest album ever and it still lapses into the sort of hyper-simplified pop balladry that Coldplay has since become well known for. 5/10

background music that did not give me a headache. 500 points Gryffindor

This album passed me by. Some of their big hits that took me back to the two hours of my life I rated Coldplay were quickly forgotten as the album moved on to averageness. 4/10 so a 2/5.

Maybe the best coldplay album i've listened to? but also not great even at that.

gave it a try and good first tune, but find them so boring overall

OK, but I don't seem to be their fan in general

Que no se diga... Escuché con atención una hora de Coldplay... DOS VECES. Tenía la percepción de Chris Martin como alguien que se dedica a hacer música fácil, melosa, sin matices, sentimental a madres, de tullido emocional dolido, digamos el tipo de concierto que le llamarían el W40 pa la novia. Escucharlo por un lado confirmó mucho mi percepción, aunque sí tiene algo que ha hecho a fin de cuentas que ha durado más de 20 años haciendo dinero de esto; pareciera que tiene este tipo de música hecha una ciencia. Las canciones como tal incluso podría decir... no son malas, al menos no todas; el mayor problema es que todas son iguales. Es un disco plano, sin matices, nada sube, nada baja, ni el tono de voz, ni el tema de letras, ni el ritmo. Es un sonsonete "agradable" inofensivo que puedes poner de fondo. Escuchar un disco entero se me hizo muy cansado. Los sencillos que conocía, In My Place Clocks y The Scientist... canciones que están tan embebidas en el breviario cultural que en algún momento por reflejo te das cuenta que ya cantaste "Nobody said it was easy." Es música aunque suene contradictorio está muy bien hecha pero ni me jala ni puedo respetar por lo repetitivo y plano que es.

coldplay has not been good for music.

eh... meh.

NEXT!

post-rock lite. certainly could live a very full life without hearing this record. fav track: green eyes

I was pretty bored throughout this.

2.5

Not a fan

I liked 4 songs, couldn't get into the rest of the album. 2/5

Listening to this is a reminder of just how deeply the singles embedded themselves in pop culture in the '00s and '10s. As radio-friendly rock/pop music goes, it's pretty quality; But the wave of British music which preceded it is strictly better as far as I'm concerned. The back half of the record, in particular, tends to be too melodramatic for the band's sound to support.

I just can't get into Coldplay. So boring.

the only band to credit their /manager/ as a fifth bandmate despite playing, singing, and assisting with literally none of the music

The band I hate the most. I really can't stand this pathetic overblown shit.

I'm sorry but hell no, the whole time I was hoping this would just end & also they had no business making basically every song 5 minutes.

Coldplay. Like McDonalds cheeseburgers, the Survivor TV shows, Marvel movies, Danielle Steel books, Starbucks Frappuccinos...this is the bland pap that Americans want, and it's what they deserve.

Bläh

Sucked the soul out of me and not in a good way. Terrible experience. Literally fell asleep thrice and mistook a youtube advertisement as one of the songs and thought "oh this is a better one" TWICE. AND IT'S THE SAME GODDAMN ADVERTISEMENT. Not saying the album was terrible it just wasn't my taste I guess but also I cannot be friends with anyone who has this as their all time favorite album and genuinely think others are missing out for not having listened to it. I totally didn't make it to the last song even though it shows up on my listening history twice because I fell asleep through it both times I attempted to listen to it while being awake. All in all I'd do to this album what is the opposite of recommending

Not these guys again, ugh.

Dont like coldplay☺️

Coldplay are shite, this done nothing for me

In my quest to expand my music tastes, Coldplay are going to be the final boss. I gave them a chance and it's still a profound struggle for me to listen to even one track from start to finish without breaks.

Wait, getting through this list requires listening to not one but two Coldplay records? Sonofabitch

not another fucking coldplay album

Today my airpods died forever on me and I didn't see clocks until it started playing and my morning has officially been ruined. Upon further reflection in a much calmer state I can plainly say that clocks ruins this album and I hate that song

Coldplay is terrible. Frequently, in the 2010s, I would be listening to a perfectly good Pandora station, enjoying it, algorithm doing its job, and then -- something horrible would come out of the speaker. I would rush to the smartphone, look at the Pandora display, and -- Agghh! Coldplay! Again!! They are bad. I don't know why The Computers think I should like them, but they do, and I don't. This album has moments. God Put a Smile, Clocks, and Daylight all give indications of how a good song was potentially there, for example. But none of them get there. Cycling among pastiches of U2, Dave Matthews, and Sting -- and maybe Radiohead? (never got into them, but people I respect like them ... they seem relevant here) -- the derivative but real songcraft is continually dragged down by the bombastic, bloated-synthy production. If Coldplay and Imagine Dragons went into an arena and had a Cheese Off .... I don't know what would happen, but all concerned would be in grave danger.

Not enjoyable at all. His voice is irritating and the long, repetitive intros are enraging. I want to like them because I believe they do a lot of work with Global Citizen but I just can't.

Gutless, spineless pseudomusic for those who can't be bothered with the real thing. "Clocks" is especially inane - it sounds like it was written by someone who's had a grand total of one piano lesson.

Jamais écouté avant. Le plus petit dénominateur commun mis en musique. Chaque note, chaque mot, chaque beat est mesuré, calculé au millimètre pour que rien ne dépasse, que rien ne puisse heurter qui que ce soit et que tout le monde y trouve son compte. Résultat : tout se ressemble, tout est prévisible, tout sonne faux, en particulier les émotions que les pleurnicheries de Chris Martin tentent en vain (mais avec beaucoup d'insistance) de nous arracher... La production, qui se veut majestueuse, est surtout un sommet du pop-rock pompier, certes parfaitement calibré pour les stades, mais sans la moindre once d'originalité ou de prise de risque. Alors c'est sûr, c'est pas fatiguant, c'est pas éprouvant, c'est même pas déroutant... mais que c'est chiant ! Même les tubes n'ont pas une mélodie bien trouvée ou une idée un peu différente pour se démarquer ou simplement marquer... Un encéphalogramme plat. Top : A Rush of Blood to the Head Flop : Daylight

Coldplay more like hard work

Shitty Radiohead the Musical

Repetitive. With some of the most basic bland drumming I’ve ever heard.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nah

Whine, whine, whine. Music predictably builds to a sappy crescendo. Whine, whine, whine, repeat. Fuck this formulaic and performative trash.

Feel like shit this morning and you wanna give me this dogshit to listen to The scientist is decent though

If you had asked me 10 years ago if I liked Coldplay, I would say I did. Somewhere between now and then, they drifted from my awareness and became just another band that I knew existed and that had a few songs I kind of liked. I can't say I thought about them often (except for that kiss cam incident about a year ago) or that I particularly missed them. On top of all that, I had never listened through an entire Coldplay album until I listened to this one. I can't say I enjoyed this experience. This album was a slog, and the songs just don't feel like they have anything to them. Somehow, even the big singles here seem drearier than I remember. I think this is probably an incident of an album not aging very well, but I don't think I would have enjoyed much of this album even if I had heard it as a teenager. Younger me would have been surprised that I am giving a Coldplay album this low of a score, but now I wonder if I will even remember this band at all in another 10 years. Favorite track: "Clocks," despite it reminding me of listening to the radio at my old nursing home job.

Wintergreen-flavoured music for the Rod Flanders in your life. Unflavoured for me!

Holy shit, what a kutmuziek. And Chris just has an awful, deeply umpleasant voice as well

I’ve heard this before. I do not like Coldplay as I have stated earlier. It’s been many years since I last heard this so I’m going in with an open mind. It sounds like the auditory equivalent of eating a damp unflavored rice cake in an entirely beige room. This is flat diet store brand cola, but from that phase when crystal pepsi was a thing. This is a hospital gown. I would respect them more if they were some obnoxious crunkcore band rather than this bland jello mold.

did not like this. Just not for me, 1 star. Very generic pop rock

What’s weird album, there is nothing wrong with it, the production is great, there is some great guitar lines and drumming. But as a whole, it is just so boring!

Sorry, no. This is fucking awful in all the ways.

I do not enjoy Coldplay I dont have time to analyze my reasoning - I just choose to avoid them Please stop suggesting them

Willie Nelson's version of The Scientist was better.

NO NOT COLDPLAY I THOUGHT MY DAY COULDNT GET ANY WORSE AND NOW IT HAS. I guess Clocks and The Scientist are alright but I just really really hate Coldplay it’s all just millennial junk and not the good kind 😭 I’m sure they’re lovely guys though. Music not so much.

I hate the Fucking eagles man

zelfs nummers die goed beginnen weet die zanger compleet onderuit te halen... van de meerderheid echter was dat niet nodig... een plaat even overbodig als Assepoester The Sequel...

This album was so. fucking. boring. This is such a nothingburger. Perfect for those who absolutely obsessed with the self importance of their own melancholic emotions. Coldplay says absolutely nothing of importance. Maybe it’s just me??? Maybe I need to listen to this again under different circumstances?? Fuck, this sucks.

The Coldplay band must be absolutely bored on stage ... that was a really really long 54 minutes.

Coldplay har inte rikrigt blivit ett fullfjärdrat tortyrredskap än, det kommer väl först på nästa platta. Det finns en och annan trevlig melodi mitt i all meningslöshet och "A whisper" brötar t.o.m. på hyfsat rejält. Men det är totalt innehållslöst och närmast provocerande slätstruket. Jag minns inte hur en enda låt låter efter två lyssningar. Det är musik som inte vill nånting eller nånstans. ...och så Chris Martins ursäkt till sång på det

Jag har ganska svårt gör det här med att man av princip ska hata Coldplay och allt vad de gör. Att de står nån mainstream i motsats till ”riktig musik”. För min del är jag ganska likgiltig inför Coldplay. En band jag inte direkt bryr mig om. Med det sagt tar jag mig an skivan rätt förutsättningslöst. Hitsen känner man igen. Inser vid lyssning att de precis som övriga låtar på albumet är väldigt menlösa. Det tar liksom aldrig någon fart. Dels ligger det i produktionen, dels sången. Stephen Hawkings hade sjungit med mer inlevelse än Chris Martin. Att det finns gott om folk som gillar Coldplay stör mig inte ett dugg. Utifrån det här albumet är jag inte en av dessa. Inget mer med det.

Coldplay har två album i boken. Debuten har jag redan fått slumpat till mig. Coldplay är verkligen muskens motsvarighet till att titta på färg som torkar. Det händer ingenting. Då är ändå detta betydligt roligare än debuten. Jag antar att det är fräsigare kulör. Men det är fortfarande färg som torkar.

Tried gritting my teeth and getting through a listen whilst cooking dinner. Couldn't do it. Lasted three and a half tracks. I feel as though Coldplay make music for people who don't really like music but have to put something on so they can be seen to be participating in the act of enjoying normal people music. Background noise for accountants and real estate agents engaging in courtship. That kinda thing.

No

Kut

This band is a one hit wonder band, they make singles that are the definition of, and surround it with backwash. Only reason this is on this list is they are at the pinnacle of late 90's early 00's alterna-arena bands that made ballad like one hit wonder singles. That said, I looked up the plays, and noticed The Scientist actually has more plays than Clocks? Wild! I wonder why that is. Coldplay being on this list is one of many reasons it's tiresome to follow it. They are taking a spot from contemporary classics not represented here like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcachofa_(album)

2000s Imagine Dragons and just as good too.

Pish for wishywashy people

There's been some bad albums on this list. Then there's been some VERY bad albums on this list. Besides that, there's been some audible garbage juice on this list. However, we're not talking about any of those categories with this album. This album ventures into uncharted territory - the only territory that makes me wish I could give zero-stars (or even 0.5 stars) to an album. The territory that blurs the line between music and music-shaped noise. This is the territory where Coldplay was manufactured and where it continues to live when it's not on a tour that's so boring that old white people have to expose themselves for being shitty old white people for the entire world to see in order to add any excitement - manufactured as it may be - to this medically induced coma in music form. Coldplay's "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" caused a rush of blood *from* my head when it bored me to sleep and I banged my head on the corner of the desk on my way down. 0/10 would not recommend.

Please god not Coldplay.

Few bands provoke my ire like Coldplay. I don't just hate their music, I think I might genuinely hate the members as people. I don't know any of them personally, obviously, so I guess I can't say that for certain. But, I suspect that anyone who can create such banal and tepid bullshit at such a consistent rate is probably the type of person that I would hate...and I actively try not to hate anyone. What I'm saying is that I don't think this type of garbage comes out of a vacuum; this music is so shitty that it must originate from people who are just as shitty as the music they're creating and assaulting us with. Their music is so abjectly terrible that I take personal offense at Coldplay's existence as a band. What a bunch of insufferable pussies Coldplay is. I believe that everything they've ever written just reeks of insincerity. Everything they write feels like sadboy, pseudo-intellectual posturing designed with the sole intention of getting undiscerning women wet in the trousers with mock emotion. They're like the band equivalent of the guy who shows up at the party to orbit vulnerable women, hoping that they'll find someone desperate enough to cry on their shoulder. What baffles me is that people keep buying this tripe. I think that's why I might hate Coldplay as people: with every album released, they chip away at my hope for humanity, and it starts to feel really personal. 1/10

i hate coldplay with a passion (i didn't listen)

Got home, lay on my bed. Dragged Coldplay through my head Found my way to the past and had toke And somebody spoke I went into a scream Grabbed my soul, grabbed my hat Stopped playing in seconds flat I'd love to turn...you....offf......

I just dont like Coldplay!

Started off ok, but this is so dull. Impossible not to zone out.

A nivel musical y sonoro es un sonido agradable no muy lejos de lo normal. No es mi estilo, no se si se me antojaria escuchar este album por ese factor. Personalmente me atrae desde el lado de que ese sonido Coldplay tan caracteristico, eso debo decir, lo asocio directamente a mi novio y a los primeros meses. Melancolia tierna, amor. Likes: The scientist - Daylight

song I didn't dislike: the scientist whiny, bland, boring 20/100

Boring.

God I really fucking hate Clocks. It's not even that bad a song, but it's not that good a song either and I had a friend in college that way overplayed it. The rest of the album also sucked. I don't really like Coldplay. Moving on. Best song: In My Place

How many more Coldplays are there in this challenge? :'( I say like Nick Cave: “Music should risk failure. Otherwise it’s just product.” Coldplay = product

Me aburrió tanto que lo dejé al tercer tema.

If you gave up on U2 because you found them too humble and self-deprecating, then this is the album for you! Radiohead wannabes who seem to have genetically engineered VERY IMPORTANT anthemic songs for 90,000 people to sing along with at Wembley. Not a single spark of life or energy anywhere, the songs just lie there, waiting to be played under the credits of a b-grade American police procedural. Coldplay rode the inoffensive train straight down the middle of the road to become, for one brief shining plastic moment, the biggest band in the world, so clearly they knew what they were doing. But there's no excuse for it.

Bland, plods when it should soar. What is the point of making anthemic, grandiose music if you have nothing grand to say? It feels like they take the safe option everytime. Middle management music for middle managers

mid

35. boringgggg

Album 12 Top 3 "favorites" off the album: A Rush of Blood to the Head, Green Eyes, The Scientist I get The Scientist stuck in my head sometimes, not even the lyrics, just the melody. That said, I cannot believe you are making me listen to Coldplay. In fact, I was so disinclined to do so that I put it off a whole two days. Maybe I'm just one of those attention span-lacking numbskulls, doomed to spend the remaining 50-55-ish years of my life scrolling endlessly through Instagram reels that will all be AI slop that's become so short we can gain nothing from them but 0.2 seconds of relief from the man-made horrors well within our comprehension. All I'm saying is 54 minutes of Coldplay in 2026 feels like so much more Coldplay than I ever signed up for. Really, this is going to be an unfair review. 8 a.m. is not the time to listen to this album. I'm not going to go back and do it again, though, and if I don't get past this one, I'll hit a total stop. I should just call it mid and move on, but I won't. Guitar beating eighths in 4/4 time. Drums 1, & of 2, and 4. Some piano noodling. Some Chris Martin going into falsetto. The occasional cymbal... tap. Not crash. Never too much. Lyrics that exist. A slow build to a mezzo-anything, a stripping back of instrumentation, then the sudden re-entrance of everything all at once. Repetition of one or two lines for the last 45 seconds of the song. Formulaic. To say something requiring more brain power, the album has a dark quality to me. Dark and cool. It should be a relief to listen to. Instead, the rush of blood to my head inspires a headache behind my eyes and a despair unlike anything I've felt during this project thus far. Long may I remain as unbothered as I was before. I want to feel something about this. It's my general shoulder shrug of neutrality that really gets me. I almost don't have the energy to hate it, which makes me hate it. Nonsense, yeah. But true. I just keep rolling my eyes. I guess I'm just too old to be listening to this flavor of love song now. I try to put myself in my angsty teenage shoes, or even my younger young adult ones, and I just can't really romanticize lines like "And honey, you should know/That I could never go on without you" anymore. Now, don't misunderstand: I can absolutely get behind the sentiment when it's said in a way that's more flowery. I can be as sappy as the next person. I swear. This album feels more like being beaten over the head with a hammer. Why didn't we put A Rush of Blood to the Head at the end?? I really think it was a better choice for a final tune. I was glad to hear it, but then there was one more song, and it was slow and quiet, followed by a sudden 50 SECOND INCREASE IN VOLUME straight back down into the same quiet. It belonged earlier in the album. Imagine Dragons did Amsterdam better, I fear. Crazy thing to say? Maybe. But as an avid former Dragons listener, I'm pretty qualified to judge. Sigh.

EVERY song VERY skippable. save your ears and don't waste your time if u do please commit a Van Gogh but instead of one ear could u do both. Not interesting, Not catchy, Not anything on this earth could make me re-listen to this album. Case closed.

Hater Coldplay

I’d kill myself in front of the members of coldplay just to change the trajectory of their lives

cant stand this garbage

#208/1001. When you make music for everyone you are making music for no-one. So polished, so compromised, so already heard. This was my first Coldplay album, and I got nothing out of it.

‘People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can’t trust people.’ It’s incredible how ubiquitous this album is. I’ve never listened to it before and I knew most of the songs, which is incredible when they are as bland and insipid as this.

Coldplay!!!! Again!!! Würgggggg boring

Nah.

I know it's cool to knock Coldplay, but I am absolutely not cool, and knock them simply because I think they're awful. Parachutes admittedly had a sprinkling of good tunes on it but everything thereafter is the epitome of dreary, pedestrian, guitar pop. They seem to be decent enough people though, and they appear to use their bafflingly elevated position to be a force for good, but I don’t understand why people love their music so much. This is a very dull and lifeless record.

A rush of mediocre music to the ears

Schifo

I fucking hate Coldplay.

Perfection

Ever wonder what would happen if someone combined the blandest rock of 2000s U2 with the blandest pop of early Radiohead and had an utter no talent both write and sing lyrics over it? Have I got an album for you! Of course these idiots play stadiums. People have shit taste

Well, all in all, I didn't like it. Very pop sound and too much boring.

More Coldplay? Always such a disappointment.

I hate to admit, that they are actually not as bad as musicians as I thought. It's just they music is so bland and joyless. The fact that this album has a pretty high score here is a testament to the fact that even people who want to explore more different kind of music and believe that they need to know all the important music from the last century will rather fall for well produced cheap pop rock with fabricated emotions and consumerism, rather than making their way to appreciate Captain Beefheart.

Bland pop

Beyond a couple of songs on the first album this is one band that can be left well alone. Bad vocals and lyrics and dreary production. The guitarists were always the most interesting thing about the band now they seem to have been silenced. Alongside Ed sheeran we have exported blandness and mediocrity to the world.

Big yikes

I know it's a stereotype for snooty little shits like me who think they have impeccable musical taste to hate on this band/album but, honestly, if I could punch any album in its face this would be the one. Formerly unavaoidable utter crap.

Coldplay puzzles me. They seem like nice chaps. Chris Martin is talented. But who is this music for? It’s inoffensive, but I have no motivation to listen to it. Clearly a lot of people do, but to me it’s like watching the home and garden channel at the dentist office because it’s on. Coldplay music is just on somewhere. Nothing I want to pay specific attention to.

Did not enjoy it.

This may be biased but I fucking hate Coldplay

It was like wstching paint dry

This makes my blood boil

É uma banda que não curto o som, principalmente o estilo vocal. Reconheço que esse álbum tem qualidades e faixas que são marcantes na carreira da banda. TRN Medusa.

Dreadful.

Warning sign stood out. Not a big fan of this album.

Holy crap I never knew how little I liked Coldplay

Music for people who think JoJo Siwa is too edgy and mayonnaise is too spicy

Couldnt finish

This transported me back to the early 2000’s, a magical time where I had to listen to this shite everywhere I went- the background music at stores, my friend’s cars… Coldplay is what made me stop listening to the radio. There was literally no escape, no reprieve. More like no-ldplay, moldplay, or coldstop.

I’ve always been a pretty big Coldplay hater. This confirmed it. Putting them on my do not play list at my wedding. I feel like Chris Martin wants to be Ben Gibbard and make meaningful sad music but he lacks the lyricism. The songs are boring and the rhymes feel juvenile. I really dislike Coldplay.

Nah

I thought I hated Coldplay, but when I listened to Parachutes properly, I had to admit it was alright, not good by any means, but not terrible either. So I wasn't too bothered about listening to this album. A Rush of Blood to the Head however, is exactly what I hate about Coldplay. It feels so cynical with its stadium rock key changes designed to elicit emotion substituting for any genuine feeling. It might as well be Westlife getting up off their stools. I didn't think I was going to give this a one. Technically, there's not a lot wrong with the music. I can cope with a song or two, but a whole album of this manipulative shite really rapidly starts to grate.

Can't stand Coldplay and Chris Martin grips my shit. Would give 0 stars if that was possible.

In extremely small doses, this is....ok? As a whole, it's long, it's boring, it's same shit, different song. It's overly earnest. There's not a shred of humor or lightheartedness here. The first song was fine. The Scientist is dreadful--maybe if they picked up the pace, it would be better. Chris Martin's droning on and on is too much. Clocks is overplayed. I feel like Coldplay is U2 at their worst. I'm sure there is more Coldplay in my future 1001 albums journey, and I am not looking forward to that.

The only people I've ever known to genuinely enjoy Coldplay have been really angry people. They're still angry.

Instant 1 star

Yeh sorry

This is coward music. Chris Martin croons like a man who’s never been punched and it shows. Coldplay make music for people who think pacing around a clean apartment counts as suffering. It’s the musical equivalent of beige—polished, lifeless, bland. Music for people hearing music for the first time, and sadly, they get this

Very boring to listen to. Not a fan. Highlights: A Whisper Will not return.

- Not excited to see this pop up, as I really don't like Coldplay. This is the first (and likely only) time I've listened to a Coldplay album from front to back. I don't like his voice, it grates on my nerves. Why exactly? I'm not sure, but it does. - I think there is one song from Coldplay that I don't hate...but it's not on this album and I don't remember what it's called. - The song Clocks is/was SO overplayed that I wanted to punch my computer when it came on, but realized that my computer didn't do anything to deserve that, so I just fast forwarded the song. -

First listen

Not for me. Bought when I was a young teenager but really hate now. Whining drawl, eugh!

I got generated back-to-back Coldplay albums and this one was somehow blander than the first.

Je ne can’t do this album I feel like I should be in H & M or The Gap folding clothes and answering inane questions from morons listening to this. Or sitting in a pretentious cafe drinking some shitty exclusive tea blend that tastes like muddy cat urine that nobody will admit is awful. All places I don’t want to visit, ditto for this album.

Could not force myself to listen to the entire album after hearing the piano tinkle for 17 seconds on the first track.

Nie dałem rady odsłuchać całości

I mean.. its an easy listen. Brings me back to the early 2000s but its not my cup of tea. Pretty boring but good background music. I honestly did try to give Coldplay and this album another chance but nope. Not for me, sorry.

It was boring. Chris Martin’s voice is way too airy.

Every song the same energy and its just feels like the same song eleven times. Very low energy, nothing feel memorable and feels very phoned in. Were people that sad and melodramatic in 2002? Best Song: N/A Worst Song: N/A

clocks

He's talented but I don't see myself listening to them ever

Hate Coldplay. The very antithesis of everything that's righteous about rock and roll.

Melhor que Parachutes mas ainda é Coldplay

Feels like imagine dragons doing a thom yorke impression. Was genuinely grimacing as i listened. First half felt like one long boring song but picks up in the middle, I liked daylight most appreciate the distorted vibe. didn’t hate the second half, might be slightly sedated but i can see why this makes white women ascend. Dunno if this constitutes international fame but I guess clocks was the only song that needed to be on here. Fuck Coldplay all my homies hate Coldplay.

This album is important the same way America dropping a bomb on Hiroshima is important. This album is so nothing that i forgot the previous verse of songs as they were playing. At least with bad albums they're so offensive they stick in your head but this one much like a cloud of carbon monoxide, is completely undetectable but nevertheless slowly kills you. Also, that topology is downright offensive. Someone needs to teach Chris Martin retopology. And how to sing.

I've tried to like Coldplay , I've tried so hard but oh god they are so so boring

Yer da

Gummon mate, we've already had the good one.

It is 2002. You are at the outdoor pool attached to the fancy gym your parents have a membership at. 'Believe' by Cher plays over a tinny PA system. In a few weeks you will be moving away from everything you have known since achieving sentience to start the first grade in a new city. The sun glaring off the cement is blindingly bright, ahead of you a set of diving boards stand tall as towers. You climb the ladder to the high dive, you swear it must be Olympic-regulation height. Many times times you've climbed up to this board, a line of eager children behind you, and many times you've made the shameful journey back down the ladder, too paralyzed by fear to make that high, high dive. The song on the radio changes to 'Clocks' by Coldplay. You somehow disconnect your rational mind from your body and walk forward, off the plank. You hit the water with a smack, and the entire front of your body stings like hell. You did it, though.

Bad. Can’t believe there exist people listen to this crap and thought “this is my fav aww”

Musical equivalent of beige - utter toss

nowadays it's maybe a little cliche to hate coldplay but fortunately my hate will long outlast that trend

I don't even have to listen to the album, I know it's crap. Yes, I know that one song and I didn't like it, I'll never like it and if that song is the highlight of the album, well, thanks. For me, Coldplay is one of the most overhyped bands of the last few years. I don't think I want to say anything more about it, a waste of time.

Ako još jednom budem morala slušati jebeni Coldplay, odustat ću od ovog projekta. Ne mogu to prenemaganje i dosadu. 1/5,1/10

Shit

Why do people persist in trying to force this damn dog-ass music on me? Everywhere I go it seems that Coldplay revisionism is in full swing. "Oh, they're not bad", "they had some bangere", "mate mate mate, Parachutes has some TUNES on it mate." Stop trying to trick me. I've been alive for the entirey of Coldplay's benighted career. There is nothing - nothing - in their catalogue to stir the soul, nourish one's spirit or get a foot tapping. Absolutely fuck this aural pabulum in general, and 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' in particular.

Prefer a gun to the head

Meh...

this is what happens when you tell men repeatedly that they’re interesting. incredibly uninspired, no song had any business being 5+ minutes

Well, that was horrible…

- ... was planning on writing a thing laying out why coldplay is completely competent but bad band and this is certainly an album that no one needs to hear before they die ... but it's way more effort than they deserve. Let's just leave it at completely uninspired and uninspiring; the definition of generic. -

Sorry, Coldplay is a non-play for me.

Shit pop

I've never listened to this entire album before, though I've heard a couple songs from it, but I have also rarely listened to Coldplay on purpose, so here we go. On the plus side, it's clear this band can can construct a song, can layer parts, and sustain a build. On the down side this album feels like it's trying to say a lot and emote a lot, but it ultimately feels hollow, repetitive, and cheesey to me. I get the impression they were going for some kind of Radiohead vibe with the emotional manipulation knob pinned at 11, but they push the feels too far and rarely let up, so they are unable to have much emotional range within most songs, leaving them feeling obnoxious yet flat. "The Scientist" and "Clocks" are particularly egregious examples. "Green Eyes" feels like a bit of a respite from the overwrought, overproduced feel of the rest of the album, but it just feels bland and generic. "Daylight" was interesting for a second, until I noticed they were just ripping off "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles. Maybe I'll listen to that as a palate cleanser. This was the first album I got to review on this site. Ouch.

Fuck off, Coldplay.

Gave up after 2 songs, couldn't bring myslef to listen to it all

Can't stand Coldplay.

uninteresting , inoffensive . 1

Honestly, better than I was expecting, but still not my thing. Some these song's do not need to be 5 minutes. Faves: Clocks, Politik

Oh WOW! This album is incredible. I've heard comedians make jokes about Coldplay being boring and depressing, but they really don't do this justice. I believe I may be about to coin a new musical term, mulit-tonal monotony. How the hell these people made money, let alone a career out of this beggars belief. It's a 1 purely because I can't give lower.

Corpo So forgettable Way too long

Boring

Polite, professional rock band not without their merits, but much too medium for my tastes. They have a knack for writing good melodies over anthemic chord progressions that are almost always ruined by superficially romantic & vague lyrics that sound intellectual when sung in a proper British accent.

One for the easy listening crowd. I’m not that person. It all had the same pace and was boring.

Know how I know this author is full of shit? He’s put Coldplay albums on more than once.

Dreary tosh

boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring boring

Nope don’t listen to Coldplay. 0/10

Good god I hate Coldplay. this album did nothing to improve my views

Mediocrity can be so soothing.

Hahaha when I got Parachutes on Monday I half thought, I bet I get the other one in the same week. I only gone and have. Bit like what happened with Aguilera. She surprised me with the second effort being actually good. So go on then, first ever listen to this. What's it like. First track: mostly boring. Second track: oh right, this one. Over-familiar and mostly boring. EXTREMELY reminiscent of Travis. Like 'they should pay them royalties'-level reminiscent. Probably why I was never interested in Coldplay that much. Had already liked Travis for a bit and then got immensely bored of them. No need to do it again. Third track. Radiohead-lite crossed with I Am the Resurrection. Fourth track. Well ok, this one is alright. Cheap trick leaning on those minor chords, Martin. Same trick as Fix You, their other good song. Still, not a patch on Isn't it a Pity. Fifth track. Clocks. It's a Beautiful Day! Don't let it get away! Remember when this was the theme for The Premiership, on ITV? Probably the song I think of most of I think of Coldplay, besides Fix You. Clearly, the U2 comparisons do not end there. Jeez, they aren't shy this lot are they when it comes to recycling other people's ideas. And to think all the shit Elastica took just a few years earlier. Sixth track. Uncharted territory now, don't think I'll have heard any of the next 6 tracks before. Back to Radiohead-lite for this one. Seventh track. I have nothing to say. Eighth track. Goes without saying I have been bored throughout, and have been keeping myself entertained by playing spot the blatant rip. Now it's got so generic and uninspiring I can't even be arsed doing that. Ninth to eleventh track. More sub-U2 guff. Particularly Whisper. These are B-sides. Why not just end the album? As a whole, a resounding meh. Self-evidently worse than the meh Parachutes and 15 minutes longer, so must rate accordingly. To channel Immortan Joe once again... MEDIOCRE!!

Did not like this album hard to get through

This album is a glass of skim milk. A plate with 2 pieces of plain toast with the crusts cut off. A white woman complaining at a restaurant because the pepper is too spicy. Shit is boring as hell is what I'm saying.

I have never really listened to Coldplay, aprt from the insesant radio play that they recieved when they first broke onto the charts. After listening to only 5 songs on this album, I stand by that decision.

Уже лучше дебютника, но все равно такая же унылая хуета

Can’t stand this anymore

nope

Not my thing and all.

No

I think a Rush of Blood to the Head kills you, right? Well, I'd be okay with that right now. This album commits every cardinal sin I have for music - it's overlong, it's absurdly simplistic, the lyrics are non-sensical, and it's so repetitive. All of that together is just awful. I didn't know you could drag so many one syllable words across so many bars of music. This music provides nothing and goes nowhere. I cannot understand how this artist is #10 in the world on Spotify. I could barely finish this one. Fav tracks: N/A

Coldplay is the fucking worst. It’s like a band made up of the worst instincts of all the huge pop bands rolled up into one giant kaiju of shit.

...that moment when your Mom declared she likes "Alternative".

Yuck

Didn't like it then and certainly do not like it now. Pretentious pile of crap.

Is there anything worse than soulless garbage like this in music?

I don't know much about music theory but... it sounds like there's just not a lot going on here? Not in a stripped-back minimalist way, in a "this is constructed on a sparse and shallow foundation" way. Lyrically (which I'm more comfortable judging) every line I heard was a cliché. This is deeply boring music.

I have made a "conscious uncoupling" from ever listening to this band again.

U2 clone

terrible

Not the worst really successful artist in the world, because that honour belongs to Madonna, but they are up there. I actually understand why people like Madge but I cannot comprehend people's love for this porridge. I'm just imagining a double act of meh, that would actually (horrifyingly) get a good crowd: Coldplay and Ed Sheeran.

I've never liked Coldplay, and this album isn't my cup of tea either. I've given the album a chance more than once over the course of time and tried to listen to it all the way through, but I was always so bored halfway through that I didn't make it to the end.

I saw Coldplay on New Years Eve once. It was clear they didn't want to be there and, truthfully, nor did I. Not much has changed.

Like a furry jobbie circling the bowl

Coldplay is very likely my least favorite band ever. I've never sat through the entirety of this album before today and can honestly say without a doubt, that I do not care for them at all. The Scientist is a decent song when performed by others but hearing Christ Martin makes me want to vomit.

Not my usual cup of tea. Some huge songs that were absolutely massive at the time and helped take the band to the level they’re at now. Hasn’t aged terribly well for me and not an album I’d choose to listen to again.

Cannot connect with Coldplay at all

This is just a terrible album.

So boring 1/10 i didnt even finish it

I don't hate Coldplay, but I don't really like them either. Fine musicianship all around here, but I feel like I would rather listen to Radiohead.

Not my style, Coldplay is Coldplay is Coldplay. You hear one song you've heard it all.
