Parachutes

easy listening, but just not my jam...probably won't listen again or dig into their other stuff

Coldplay’s magnum opus. 3.5/10

i'd give it a 2.5 if I could. When considering all my other 3s, this doesn't fit there. If most of my 3s came on randomly I'd probably leave them on, but I'd most likely change the playlist if this one started. But I do recognize the musical ability is pretty good so I don't feel great about a 2. Especially because I'm not giving it a 2 just because "ew Coldplay", but it's just not my jam.

депрессивная музыка молодежных сериалов нулевых чтож имеет место

Nothing doing

2/5 nuuuuh

There were a few songs near the beginning where the acoustic guitar licks were quite enjoyable. I found the rest of it not to be that interesting. I was listening while I was cooking so I didn’t really pay a lot of attention to the lyrics  so I might come around to it if their lyrics were so amazing they could save the day. 

.

Just felt boring and uninspired mostly.

Just kind of "meh" to me. I didn't really hear anything memorable. Not offensive, but I treated it like background music.

It was aight. I give it three twists of a dog's tail

Pleasant if dull. First side is stronger than second but ultimately it is background music.

On one of my milestone birthdays, Sue surprised me and took me to my first concert at ACC. It was a double surprise because the band playing was Coldplay and as far as I knew, neither of us listened to Coldplay! But I didn't mind since their songs on the radio were ok. It was a splashy energetic concert, great effects and a good performance, but I couldn't help thinking, while the crowd, yet again, sang along to the chorus of another innocuous ballad, "I just don't get it". I still don't.

It's Coldplay, it's alright.

can't stand his whiney voice. I do like "don't panic" though, maybe cos it was on the radio less. Would still listen to this over cat stevens, he sets the low bar.

De entrada me estaba gustando un poco más que el otro disco que tocó (la primer canción me agradó), pero ahora, después de haberlo escuchado 2.5 veces tengo que concluir que en verdad creo que no tengo mucho más que añadir de lo que mencioné en A Rush of Blood. Mis quejas siguen siendo las mismas, es música inofensiva, en general aburrida y que se siente sin propósito. Sus letras son vacías más allá de hablar o de algo abstractamente bonito o de algún anhelo romántico. Creo que es buen músico, el disco suena bien producido pero de nuevo todas las canciones como si fuera la misma, se mezcla en lo mismo todo y termina en algo aunque bien construido carente de contenido. No propone, no dice, no contesta nada... música absolutamente light para mientras compras tus calcetas en el Suburbia.

Not offensive, mostly just background noise

Coldplay is best🤷🏼‍♂️

1.5| le voy a dar el 2 solo por qué es parte del inicio de la "nueva música del nuevo milenio" y por qué shiver vale la pena pero no aporta nada para mí y creo que no debería estar en esta lista igual que el "a rush blablabla"

Typical weak Coldplay stuff, do not like.

Coldplay are shit

boring tbh couldnt finish

Not for me

I've never listened to this album but I sure that I have heard enough of the songs from it. Well enough to know I will automatically give this a 1 star.

Kind of boring

Not my cuppa tea

NO thanks

I don't like Coldplay.

First listen

recognized Yellow from hearing it on the radio, but that's about the only feeling i had during this. pretty bland overall. it has the trappings of being emotional but nothing about the music conveys emotion, so it just comes off as hollow

i'm sorry. this was really, really awful. High Speed was almost good and was the only one with a different producer, so there's that. but... the lyrics aren't even intelligent enough to be insipid. they're ralph wiggum words and not the cute kind of choo-choo-choose ones. screech/whine/crying your lyrics doesn't make one sound more heartfelt either.

Coldplay is so not interesting

Bends rip off

Not even hating because it’s Coldplay but that was boring

Nice debut

The lyrics were written by a divorced Dad who sees his kids once every few months and wants to use this window of of opportunity impart wisdom upon them. But all he can think of is Live Laugh Love. Vocals are posh bloke puts on estuary accent to appear like a man of the people. Music almost nonexistent. I cut the grass while listening to this. The rum tum tum of my elderly petrol lawnmower was the best thing I heard. Better than everything else I’ve heard by this lot like they’re trying and failing to sound like 00’s losees Athlete. 1 star.

Coldplay innit

Zzzzzzzzzz 😴

Chris Martin’s voice is just so awful. Everything I don’t want from a singer. The whole thing is just painful and bland and dire.

I did it - I listened to a Coldplay album from front to back. It was even more boring than expected. I kind of almost get Yellow, otherwise utter dross. 1/10

Coldplay is awful.

I always thought Coldplay were an absolute snoozefest of a band, and my view hasn't changed. Sure, 'Yellow' might be an earworm, but I can't for the life of me understand why 'Parachutes' is held in such high regard and how it was the beginning of Coldplay becoming one of the biggest bands of the 21st century. What is it people like about Chris Martin so much? He's essentially ripping off Thom Yorke from Radiohead and is nowhere near as interesting nor as talented, and his falsetto is cringeworthy. Every song sounds the same on 'Parachutes', and there's nothing really interesting going on, except maybe Jonny Buckland's guitar riffs from time to time; admittedly they're not too bad. But this album has sold over 17 million copies worldwide as of last year? How? What makes Coldplay so great? I've never understood it and listening to 'Parachutes' in full has not changed my mind. Look at Coldplay, look how they whine for you, and everything they do, yeah, they are bored fellows. Best songs: Look, Yellow's okay I spose

holy nothing burger album favorite song: sparks least favorite song: everything’s not lost

2000. Debut studio album.

Pablum.

Eh

Out of college, money spent, See no future, pay no rent, All the money's gone, nowhere to go. Any jobber got the sack, Monday morning turning back, Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go. But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go! Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go! Took me years to realise that this middle 8 in You Never Give Me Your Money is a reflection on the time Paul got a job in December 1960 as a second man on a Speedy Prompt Delivery lorry after they came back from the first Hamburg stint. It's such a fascinating little insight into a time where he worried that he was going to have to be a jobber, and not realise that magic feeling in his head. And speaking of magic feelings....this can fark right off!

American Idol audition music.

This is an adult version of Taylor Swift... So if I was a teenage girl laying on my bed pining for the attention of someone, I might connect with it... But I'm not so I'll pass.

The best part of this album is 7 minutes and 15 seconds into the last track. Try it. You can thank me later. Hold on, you can thank me now!

one of my least favorite voices singing some of my least favorite songs!

Offensive that this is on the list tbh

I’d rather listen to the sound of my testicles being crushed on infinite repeat than this abjectly dull record

I mean I didn't hate it like some people on here clearly did, but this is def not something I'm revisiting. This is the first album so far in this process that i skipped halfway through some songs. It did feel nostalgic tho as someone who grew up in the early 2000s which ups the rating a little bit bc love them or hate them Coldplay will always be part of the soundtrack of that era. Idk this just feels like music that i could find a better version of in other artists and a lot of the songs just DRAAAGGGED (hence why most of my top songs were the short ones). Spies made me wanna commit an act of violence. Top 3 (gun to head): 1) Don't Panic 2) Yellow 3) Parachutes

After the first 5 songs, they sounded the same still. Coldplay sucks. White people took an L here. Let's move on. Also 4.1 minutes average per song is fucking stupid.

Soft rock that sounds like Randy Newman but even worse.

Listening to this once was ok enough for me...

This shit is yacht rock for the 2000s, but instead of the earnestness, it is replaced with pretentiousness. God this is really just not for me at all. I can’t wait to give this navel gazing garbage one star.

Absofknlutely not. Coldplay is U2 with half the artistic merit. Mass appeal, lowest common denominator drivel

This was pretty bad.

Soulless. Should change their name to Cold and Calculating.

No thank you. Temu Radiohead not needed.

Words cannot describe how much I hate this band

Bland bland bland

In the early aughts I once described Coldplay to a friend as "Watered down Radiohead for mass-consumption." (Martin's falsetto may have had something to do with that take) I don't even give them that much credit today. Complete dreck.

Truly awful. Boring, slow to the point of dragging, no energy to even sustain the vibe they’re going for

nie wiem czy jestem w stanie całego albumu przesłuchać… jestem w środku drugiej piosenki T-T did not listen lol niewykonalne to jest

*fart noises*

Other than 'Yellow', I hadn't heard (or at least consciously retained) anything by Coldplay before today. The only thing I knew of them was that, like Nickelback, they were the target of much hate. So, now I've heard a full album and... well... I'm not impressed... It's hard to describe this. It feels like a non-thing. Perhaps being an ethereal non-entity of sorts was the intent? I don't know. And it didn't much inspire me to care, either. Nonetheless, I did give it a second full playthrough, though, to see if anything would stick, and sadly, the most memorable moments I'll be taking with me are the cringy falsettos which were outright obnoxious. So yeah, not a great experience, and I feel like I've now wasted more time on this review than the album deserves. Conclusion: the haters were right.

I couldn’t stand Coldplay in 2000. With years of growth and this 1001 exercise I’ve come to appreciate things I didn’t once. Coldplay isn’t an example of this. They still suck.

I didn't like at all. I don't understand why people listen Coldplay. It sounds like shit.

Shiver feels like a pre-empting of Mike Posner's Cooler Than Me, the worst pop song ever written. The rest is just ploddy

Not my favorite style of music. Coldplay was the biggest pop band around during their heyday but I was not following that style of music then and it has not aged into something that I like. They seem like a competent band that makes more or less the same song or style of song over and over. Sometimes the songs are catchy and sometimes they are not. Its not quite elevator music but it is somewhere between that and the music U2 made post 2000 but with a far less accomplished singer than Bono.

Didn't listen because it's coldplay

The worst

Nope.

Not even good enough to be called bad music. It's anti-music. I have nothing but disdain for this band, how fucking dare they do this to music. So bland it almost hurts, but hurting would be far too interesting to be associated with this drivel. Now where's my reward for listening to this tripe, surely I get a medal or something?

I thought I knew how awful Coldplay was before listening to this, now I really know they suck.

For some reason I hear this album and the idea of "political theatre" enters my mind. It just sounds so... manufactured. It's stale, generic, pandering, sanitized, mass-consumer drivel. Absolutely nothing about Coldplay or this release strikes me as raw, direct, authentic, artistic, or expressive. Entirely performative. You can keep this one, thanks.

Now I understand the derision

This was the album that made me realize Coldplay is really not my thing The voice and the over-produced sound grate on me more and more each time I hear it I really dont get how they are so popular . . .

I don't listen to Nazis, you should have learned that with the Kanye.

Не очень люблю колдплей ебаный, но что поделать. Не хочу расписывать каждую композицию, потому что я уверена на 100000 % они все будут относительно одинаковые (спойлер: угадано) Звук многослойный, но большого интереса не представляет. В песнях будто бы везде один мотив, но с разными подложками и разбавками, якобы, разных звучаний. Не знаю, это как купить пирожки с примерно одинаковой начинкой. Дорого и бессмысленно. Вокал неплохой, текст – так себе, не чувствую в нём чего-то особенного. Типичные мысли и записки человека. О жизни, о любви, грусти и тоске. База. Всё ещё воняет какими-то воспоминаниями о долгих поездках в машине. Всё ещё пиздецки неприятное ощущение для меня. Да и ваще, я не очень люблю музыку двухтысячных. Пока слушала, пропустила две песни мимо ушей. Настолько не цепляет. Велл, очевидно, что не мой жанр эт всё. Одна песня мне запомнилась из-за силы текста на фоне тихого инструмента. Классический эффект, на самом деле, на меня просто всегда работает. Оверолл 2/10

They get a lot of hate. And, add me to the list. Bleh.

Just like lavender is supposed to be calming; cold play is described by some as soothing instrumentations. For me though it is far from calming, in fact I want to be destructive, not that I am a violent person, but forced calming is something I can’t abide in. This album is a one.

Being honest, I will not be listening to Coldplay recs. Yellow and Viva la Vida is fine, but I aim to have self-respect

This Is probably Coldplay’s best album, but that doesn’t mean I particularly like it.

Voce irritante, musica offensivamente banale e allo stesso tempo pretenziosa

Fuckin' A. Two Coldplay albums in a week makes me want to stick an icepick in my earhole. The pumpkin spice latte of music, just stop already. This band fucking sucks.

I'm sorry about "Parachutes," I've never liked that crap. I've gone skydiving myself, and it was exciting and overwhelming. This is lame and irritating. Chris Martin's voice, in particular, really pisses me off. Coldplay leaves me completely cold, and nothing here radiates even a spark of warmth.

I realised quickly why I never listen to Coldplay - everything is SO depressing! Only "Trouble" lifts me slightly but I won't be listening to this again.

This is the two hundred second album I’m rating. I’m a Coldplay hater even though I’ve never listened to a song. Adding to my Playlist - Shiver and Everything’s Not Lost. Not Adding to my Playlist - Don’t Panic, Spies, Sparks, Yellow, Trouble, Parachutes, High Speed, and We Never Change. Yellow - Reminds me of the trash I heard on the radio. All in all I liked 2/10. The Smiths but more boring.

I cant listen to this..

One of the most depressing albums ever.

Coldplay is nothing music. So incredibly boring. It's "television music". I just can't.

I’d never listened to a full Coldplay album before. Still haven’t, really—Parachutes drifted by like beige wallpaper in an empty room. It’s not even offensively bad; it’s just so… anaemic. Banal would be generous. It's like being bored to death by candle light.

I was surprised to see this on the list, but I gave it an honest listen. It's truly the musical equivalent of white bread or a Hallmark movie. Bland, inoffensive, formulaic. It's like adult contemporary pretending to be indie. It certainly was popular and influential, but I cringe at all the bands like The Fray and Owl City which Coldplay spawned. I acknowledge I'm a hipster. Chris Martin pretends to be Jeff Buckley or sometimes Dave Matthews, but he truly is a great singer and I can understand why he's captured the hearts of so many middle-aged moms worldwide. The lyrics are all so cliche and boring and melodramatic and sugarcoated. The album doesn't flow song-to-song. I will admit there was nostalgia over "Yellow" and "Don't Panic", and I'll embrace them as guilty pleasures. But "Yellow" doesn't even seem to fit within the rest of the album. "Shiver" was also kind of an interesting song but I'm already forgetting it after a few songs. It's really all just so forgettable.

It’s Coldplay. It’s bland. Not a single song stands out as memorable. It’s just… dinner party music for boring people.

Qué insoportables son estos tíos. Son los U2 malos, los Radiohead sin talento. Y como haga otro falsete más, voy a quemar una foto de Chris Martin en un ritual de magia negra.

Coldplay... whatever

U2, komplett med the Edges gitarrspel. Kräver fullständig koncentration för att skilja låtarna åt. Blir väldigt lätt bakgrundsmusik. Inget som sticker ut, skaver eller lämnar något som helst avtryck. Fruktansvärt tråkiga texter. Majoriteten verkar handla om att stå i kö och vänta på sin tur. Intetsägande, anonymt och meningslöst. Lobotomera och vattenkamma bröderna Gallagher så får man Coldplay. Hade det inte varit för att det spelades in 2000 hade jag trott att det var AI-genererat.

Even worse than I thought it would be

Boring

Dentist office music

Gay

Pure pablum that is inexplicably popular.

This album doesn’t need to be on this list, boring and generic

We've got Radiohead at home, this is Radiohead at home

1 for shiver, the rest is so dull .

Just hasn't held up for me.

It's Coldplay

koldprenk

*puke*

REALLY????! music to break your own arm wanking off to

HOW THE FUCK did a band with at most two good songs, who ran out of ideas ON THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, become one of the biggest bands on the planet. HOW.

Coldplay is muzak as are Nickleback and Creed. Cringe and boring. Bland. Just a bunch of.. nothingness.

Overall: 2/10 Well, I hate Coldplay. I always have and I always will. They bore me to tears and Chris Martin sucks as a vocalist and a person. This entire album went in one ear and out the other and I quite honestly forgot I was even listening to it at all. Straight up garbage, thank you Coldplay. Fav Song: Shiver didn't suck that bad Least Fav Song: Yellow

The end of the 1990s brought many great albums, and how did we usher in the new decade? Boring, beige, pedestrian music. A dull uninteresting album from a boring band. I would only recommend this album to someone on their death bed, and just so they wouldn't feel so bad about dying.

Music to drive your ford focus to a garden centre to. Boring, insipid and hard to imagine getting excited about. The few times that they try to “rock out” come off like David Cameron breakdancing after too much Eton Mess.

Clearly you're all in or you're all out. I am out.

Brutal. The only parachute needed is for jumping out of a plane to get away from this hot burning pile of trash.

Dear God this was not enjoyed by me. Initially I was glad to see Coldplay, as I don't really know much of their music but I know they are polarizing. Now I don't get how they're polarizing. It's bad.

Super fucking garbage

Dreadful.

Disclaimer: I have been anti-Coldplay since the early 2000s. They were inescapable in the UK, leading to many jokes and conversations about how stuff like Yellow was a joyless dirge. This seed of distaste blossomed throughout their even more insufferable Viva La Vida era, and I generally hold the view that they are the nadir of a kind of soft rock which offends me on an elemental level. That said, in the spirit of this project I want to approach this album with an open mind - I genuinely hope that an end-to-end listen will challenge my views! ------- We were right to mock them. It sounds like the backing band from Ricky Gervais' fairly-funny "Life On The Road". Boring and smugly sentimental. Favourite tracks: Spies had some decent bass? Meh...

Boring

Felt like a pretentious white girl. Not interesting. Predictable. Generic.

May cause drowsiness and dizziness; do not operate heavy machinery.

So boring, didn’t enjoy.

this album would have been worse if not for yellow so boring, so inoffensive, i get why they were huge but fuck off personally

mid

If you’re struggling to sleep. Here’s your solution. Exhaustingly droning vocals surrounded by edgeless and uninspiring instrumentals. Honestly I feel like I went into this album with a good attitude. I was excited to hear their debut album, but my god thiw album is so shallow and boring. Seriously a great sleep aid if you need one though.

Sorry, but this is shopping mall music. No idea why this made this list. 10/100

Infelizmente o Coldplay não acertou nesse álbum, no meu ponto de vista. Tem outros bem melhores!

Not gonna do it. Can't listen to this

Trilha sonora de formatura de odonto

Fuck you coldplay

Budget U2.

I think this is quite bad!

i remember being a kid and feeling like coldplay was inescapable, much like death or taxes. chris martin's fucking voice was so irritating. yellow, clocks, in my place, you couldn't walk through a fucking grocery store without hearing one of them. i liked shiver the most, however, it's basically just their best impression of jeff buckley. i don't even hate coldplay, i think viva la vida is an interesting record! enjoyable even!

Incredibly boring

Dosta faking loše. Još kad je krenula prva pjesma na milisekundu sam pomislila: pa dobro nije tooooliko loše, zašto sam takva hejterica? Postajalo je samo gore i gore od tog trenutka. Osim mali dio te prve pjesme, apsolutno ništa drugo mi nije sjelo. Znala sam neke pjesme naravno, kao žrtva mainstream silovanja, a ovo šta nisam i bolje da nisam. 1/5, 1/10.

Bruh, nah.

Never been a fan

Ew

Bland and inoffensive

Скукотища! Ещё и голос страдальчески писклявый.

Can’t give -10 the musical equivalent of beige - sad sad stuff

I have heard this enough over the years, music for ladies. It's best suited to adverts and Martin is just embarrassing. How have they sold for many records? Concerts with gliwing f*cking wristbands, f*ck off.

More-boring U2.

no

coldplay.. een band die niet over één, niet over twee, maar over een ganse kudde paarden getild is... crap in het kwadraat

- Predictable, kind of soulless, boring. - AI generated music before AI generated music was even a thing. - A corporate idea of what music sounds like come to life via some label who invented Coldplay in a lab to print money. - The lead singer of the band said this was a bad album, apparently. Makes me wonder if this album got a lot of bad reviews or something. It's not like it would be wrong for him to like or be proud of this album, I'm sure it was formative for a lot of people. - I dunno. I was over it halfway through and it just kept going. - Kind of hard to disagree with all the people who think that Coldplay is the audio equivalent of a "chick flick". Some chick flicks are fun, though. Romcoms are chick flick material, aren't they?

Hiçbir şarkıyı sonuna kadar dinleyemedim sabredip. Spies şarkısı 9 yaşında bi çocuk tarafından yazılmış diye düşünüyorum. Çok zordu, bi daha sakın dinlemeyeyim.

The tracks are indistinguishable from one another. It is impossible to tell when a song ends and the next one starts. It is just bland and Chris Martin's howling on top.

I imagine this was part of the prepare yourself for the sweet release of death

Words cannot describe how much I hate this band. Personal enjoyment: 1/5 Relevance to this list: 2/5

Wow this is so not for me. Yes they are competent musicians but it boggles my mind who this is for. And why Chris Martin sings the way he does. He seems to be apologizing in every song and that gets tedious. At least no song is much longer than three minutes.

White bread. Toyota Camry. Meat and three veg. Beige curtains. Mid-strength lager. Coldplay. Do yourself a favour and listen to something better. One star.

Over produced, pretentious and boring. The fact that this album is 7x platinum says more about the lack of musical taste of of 7 million people than anything else. If I could give this a negative rating it would still be too high

I've always been kinda anti-Coldplay just based on radio play and thought maybe this album on this list would prove me wrong. It certainly did not do that.

This is beyond rubbish. What drivel. Like a soft rock Cranberries rip off. Hate it

The music is bland and uninspiring. Chris Martin's voice sounds like an animal in pain. I've never heard a coldplay song I liked and this just solidified the fact that they do absolutely nothing for me. At least Kolaps and Limp Bizkit are entertaining to hear what the hype about them being awful was, this was just a generic waste of time. And not even in the "this was okay but not for me" way some of these have been where I just leave it playing. I'd rather sit in silence than listen to this.

Geht so

When Coldplay really had their moment twenty years ago or so, they were everywhere. My roommate played them all day long, my good friends played them in their cars. I even remember when Paradise came out years after I thought we were finished with them, and a buddy sat me down and was like ‘listen to this!’ all excited, cranking up the volume. I will always hate Coldplay. It has nothing to do with the songs themselves, some are really quite good. But it’s that voice. That grating, sickly, whiny voice, and he uses it in the worst way in every song. The only time it ever worked for me was on this album, on the song Yellow, because to me, that’s the color of his voice. His jaundiced, ear-scraping voice. That’s the only song I’ll tolerate from them, and even then, in small doses.

You know what album you "need to hear before you die"? The album that makes you want to listen to Radiohead!

I was almost going to give it 2 stars and then I read on Wikipedia that its success was linked to Radiohead going too far in their experimental side. Come on! That's an insult to intelligence.

Not so keen on vocals and lyrics (their next album is quite an improvement)

Een wijs man zij ooit: “Coldplay je dikke moedeeeeer!”

Ik heb mijn Waterloo eindelijk gevonden. 1/10

Wat een saai k*talbum. Ergens wakkerde nog een klein hoopvol vuurtje dat Coldplay 'vroeger' een aardige band was, nog niet verminkt door de mainstream-pop. Het tegendeel is waar, de stem van Chris Martin klinkt ook op Parachutes al verminkt. Er zijn weinig zangers waarvan ik zo walg van het stemgeluid als bij Chris Martin. Zit er dan wel wat pit in de nummers? Dacht het niet. Trouble begint als een Marco Borsato nummer en alle nummers daarna zijn zo hopeloos saai. Hopelijk blijven de andere Coldplay albums ons bespaard. 2/10 Highlights -

Whiny. Pretty sure that was the same song 12 times.

There isn't a single listenable song on this album. This is the first album I have gotten on this list that I wish I didn't have to give a start rating to, because I don't even want to give this one star.

Trash

Best song: Yellow Vibes: anhedonia, headache, Themes: love, spies

What can I say about this one. People tend to say that this is their "potential" album. The one that suggests that they are a good band that took the wrong path. While it's not a "bad" album, it's not good either. Just, there. If you like Coldplay, and this is your favorite project by them, that's fine. But if you don't, you won't find here much to love. Very monotonic, bland, the songwriting isn't great and chris Martin's vocals... if you like them you do, and I, sadly, do not. What can I say... I thought it was a two but

Relentless boredom

Music for weddings that I do not want to attend.

No.

The most quintessential “We have Radiohead at home” album ever. I don’t know who this appeals to. The album is a pleasant bore, nice sounds and production but boring songs. I feel like Coldplay never fit in anywhere; Gorillaz came out with their debut that same year. The White Stripes and The Strokes were about to explode into the scene. Radiohead dropped Ok Computer three years before. It’s no wonder why they sold out so fucking hard. You can hear it in this album. Yellow is not that good of a song btw.

Хочу спать

My only wish while listening to this was that I too would love to consciously uncouple from Chris Martin. This is a completely vanilla band, I have no idea why they are as big as they are.

Ass but yellow is okay

Yellow still hits at least

I don't care for this. I'm sure their soft and gentle approach is for some people, just not me. Even the songs that build up a crescendo, never really cash it out. Not giving this another listen

Not my thing

I just really hate coldplay. I don't think I'll ever understand the appeal.

Not as bad as I expected. If it weren’t for the vocals it might even be good.

Previously rated: A Rush Of Blood To The Head (2/5) ************************************** I should have written this review right after I listened to the album until waiting until the next day. Most of the anger erupting from me while listening is gone. I wanted to punch the guy in the throat whenever he went into his falsetto (which happened to be in every g-damn song!) This has to be one of the lamest, no balls whatsoever, rock album I've ever heard. I don't remember how many times I said "SHUT THE F*** UP" out loud in my car. Please let this be the last Coldplay album, I'm begging.

Diet Radiohead. Make me sad these guys are one of the top selling artists of all time. Very bland.

Wanna be Dave Matthews Band. Sound like they should be playing weekends at some local bar. Lead singer's voice is quite annoying!

Whingey shite.

Well, this listening endeavor has revealed lots of things, and today's lesson for Andre... boy do I dislike Coldplay. Before being forced to listen to a couple of their albums, I was nonplussed. They sounded OK, but the music didn't speak to me. As I think I said in an earlier review, nothing sticks, it just comes and goes and I forgot what I heard. But today I realized, no, I actually can't stand this music. Not sure why. It's like they're coloring by numbers. Singer dude seems like he just discovered this cool "flip to falsetto" trick and HAD to use it every 12 seconds. And each subsequent musical section didn't sound like it added to a cohesive song, it was like they assembled parts that sorta fit. So, anyway, apologies to anyone reading if you love the band. Clearly, they've got a mass of devoted fans. I'll be that asshole in the corner, fingers in my ears, waiting for it to finally just stop.

Wow. this album aged like a gallon of milk. I remember loving this when it came out and thinking that Coldplay really fell off. Turns out they've been pretty bad from the beginning, we just took awhile to catch up. I don't know what was going on in the early aughts, but it wasn't good for any of us.

Cloying. Annoying. Repetitious. Bland.

Well there we have it. The worst fucking album on this list. I hear there’s another Coldplay album on this list so please pray for me.

Fuck cold play

Blech, 2/10

ew lol

I felt a sense of dread whwn i saw this pop up on the list. I had to ask myself some hard questions. Was my predjustice correct, surely their is some musical merit some insight, somerhing that engages. And then it hit me, it's music without soul, sure it all fits and works as music should, but i want music to take me somewhere, to provoke some reaction. This album takes me to asda and leaves me feeling empty and slightly annoyed.

Thanks Coldplay, for ruining my commute you insufferable bell-ends. You can take your shitty miserable whining nonsense and do one. And when you've done that you can do one again. I really didn't like this at all.

Oh FFS! That was my initial reaction when this album came up. I had to stop for a moment and question, why did I hate Coldplay so much? Putting my reservations aside, I gave it a go. Less than a minute in, it's Chris Martin, does my nut in, yup those contrived predictable lyrics, droning on and on, give me a fookin' break. As for the music, majority of it is so bland, but then there'll be an odd chord progression that strike me as interesting... gotta be one of the other Coldplay guys screaming inside to get their creativity out there. Jesus wept!

I'm a simple man, I see Coldplay, I give it one star without listening and move on. Life's too short...

Pfff j'aime vraiment pas Coldplay, je trouve que c'est de la soupe. Pas désagréable à écouter dans l'absolu, mais eurgh... Allez, je mets mon premier 1/5

Wasn't a fan when it came out and not a fan now.

Nope

Absolutely not

Oh FFS. Minus 5 stars. Beige background music for Barry C Homeowner types. I was 20 when this came out, the weird thing was they released Shiver as a single first and it was kind of alright. It got played a lot at Paisley Student Union in 2000. Then Yellow came off the back of it and became a honking monster of a song. To the point out it’s still in that irritating DHL advert. I mean plenty people must like it. Maybe it’s me that’s wrong? No, that couldn’t possibly be it, it’s the children that are wrong. I re listened on my way home from work and my opinion hasn’t changed.

Yawn. Classic Coldplay.

i sure do not like chris martin's voice! this album already had a strike against it, but i tried to be as fair as possible with coldplay's parachutes. but all of these songs were boring! they slid into one another and i couldn't tell where one ended and another began. well, i can say that the piano stood out on a few tracks! that was one good factor. bye, i will never listen to this again!

Personal bias, I hate Coldplay. Too whiny.

I went into this album with an open mind but man, I struggled to get through this one. Songs are too long, instrumentation is ok but kind of samey. It’s weird because Chris Martin seems to be an objectively talented vocalist but I still found him super annoying? Haters and lovers both seem to like Shiver but for my money it might be the worst on here. Yellow is alright.

Coldplay, meh!

Yellow is alright. Don’t Panic is probably their best song. All down hill from there

Music to die to. Music that smells like disinfectant pumps in municipal hospitals. In 2007, it may have worked to evoke some emotion among the numb, anti-biotic cow-people, watching X factor sob stories slack and passive, trying desperately to remember what being alive feels like, slumped immobile in gelatinous clumps. Not now, though. Not even that.

To quote the immortal Thorgy Thor: “Ugh, Jesus. Gross.”

Fuck off Coldplay

please no

I wrote this about Metallica's S&M album: "I can think of few things worse than having to listen to this." Turns out I was wrong.

Fuck Coldplay.

😴😴😴😴😴

Sucks big time.

One very late night in Malibu, I savagely berated a man who sopped up what little bandwidth we had to stream Coldplay. Fucking Coldplay….

UK friends told me about this band, this album before we’d heard of Coldplay in the US. They said, “You’ll love them; they’re just like U2!” Nope.

Låter lite som ett blekt och urvattnat Radiohead. Gjorde mig bara oerhört nervös och fick mig mest att tänka på hur tunn gränsen är mellan vila och plåga.

Pass

I would never willingly listen to a Coldplay album. Listening to Parachutes didn't change that. Absolutely bland. Not a single interesting song. Boneless Radiohead.

I cannot stand this band!

The most boring rhythm section of all time.

Boring. Chris Martin's voice is grating.

Dire stuff, I was correct to give them a miss back in the day

Yellow is great. Other songs were awful. I love chilled out music, but this is totally unengaging

Es ist enervierend offensichtlich, was die da probieren: melodiöse Popmusik zu komponieren, die gut arrangiert und produziert ist, ohne allzuviel wehzutun, aber dennoch so etwas gehobenes Niveau oder Anspruch suggeriert. Das Ergebnis ist eine unerträgliche Sosse aus gefühliger Gefälligkeit mit einem Sänger, dem man sofort das Mikro aus der Hand schlagen möchte. Ich sagte es bereits: für wenn Radiohead zu schwer ist. Wenn jetzt noch eine Coldplay-Platte kommt, channele ich meinen inneren Kinski und hau Robert Dimery persönlich in die Fresse. DUMME SAU!

This whole album just sounded like Yellow lol. If that’s your vibe, this is the album for you In general: 5/10 My rating: 3/10

Enjoyed: No Listens: 1 Is this the reason depression diagnosis' have raised in the last 22 years? I can't say for sure, but I certainly took bigger risks when crossing the roads today

just not a coldplay guy

Hard skip.

Ugh.

I’ve heard of them but I never want to hear them.

I have spent too long disliking Coldplay for this to change. It’s part of who I am as a person. Not for me.

More boring garbage from Coldplay. This sounds like it has some better songwriting than A Rush of Blood to the Head, but it's still duller than dishwater.

noooooo

Ugh, Coldplay.

Don't panic was the only song that was interesting at least.

No. Just no

No i cos z wielkich popowych rokowcow wyspiarskich musialo wylosowac, bo dawno jakis nie bylo, wiec coldplay i ich debiutancki numer parachutes jest dokladnie tym czego sie spodziewalem kojarzac bande jedynie z ery mtv i kawalka ktory ich definiuje, czyli viva la vida, tak znowu pan eno top, ale tutaj pana eno nie uraczymy podczas odsluchu. a jedynie co plyta ma do zaoferowania to typowo mialkie popowo rokowe kompozycje z obowiazkowym pierdoleniem o Schopenhauerze, plyta brzmi jakby ktos dobrze odrobil zajecia z radioheadowania, ale jak sie inspirowac to od najlepszych, ale przez to cala plyta brzmi jak cos co juz sie slyszalo, takie downtempo jakie panuje na zdecydowanie wiekszej czesci plyty w polaczeniu z residentowymsleeperowym wokalem chrisa martina zmusza do samorefleksji nad brytyjska muzyka popularna, cale szczescie ze plyta zamyka sie w standardowym czasie albumikowym, bo w 41 minutach i 10 trakach, coldplay na tej plycie gra w skladzie cztero osobowym, przy czym sporo robi pan frontmenowy, bo nie tylko wokale, ale tez akustyk i klawisze i pianinko, traki oczywiscie pisane calobandowo, bo takiej mialkosci nie sposob wycisnac z jednego czleka, tu nawet nie chodzi o tematyke utworow, bo pomimo tego, ze wiekszosc to oczywiscie o stosunkach miedzyludzkich w bandzie czy to z lachonami, ale nawet openingowy dont panic, ktory jest nawiazaniem do autostopa galaktykowego, gdzie spiewane jest o pieknym swiecie w ktorym jest jednak duzo bonesow i piekny swiat nie zawsze jest tak piekny, orginalny pomysl na traczek, a jednak dwa wersy, takie same, chorusa i outro, minimalistyczny kawalek moglby ktos powiedziec, tak jak u radiohedow, ale z tak typowym wokalem jakim operuje pan martin brzmi to jak lupowanie 10 wyrazow, tak to wyglada na calym materiale, ciezko mi szukac jakis pozywynych momentow ktore chcialbym wrzucic na plejke, ale dodac cos trzeba, wiec wybieram songa o motywie bondowym zatytulowanego spies, kolejny dosc orginalny temat, a brzmi jak residen, moze plyta ma jakis glebszy ukryty przekaz ktorego ja nie potrafie wylapac, ale brzmienie nie kupilo mnie na tyle zebym zaglebial sie w lore albumikowe

I can't stand coldplay

aweful

There are some coldplay songs / albums that I like but this is not one of them. They're really not to my taste, overall.

not impressed

geweigerd te luisteren

Had only heard Yellow before and liked it still. The rest of the album was nothing spectacular. Cool cover

Es que no lo voy a escuchar. Estoy traumada

coldplay songs are souless garbage with sprinkles for middle aged single moms to feel whole.

I am not listening to a Coldplay album.

I wish I could give this less

I can't bring myself to listen to this.
