Reviews (page 6 of 16)
Very good, not much of a coldplay fan generally too but this album was easy listening, hit a certain vibe that will for sure be in my rotation
I owned and listened to this album when it was first released so this entire listings like a blast from the past I'm very comforted. Since then Coldplay has gone on to be a whole lot more polished, but there is something so raw about this first album. I feel like there's moments that hit as musical genius especially between the harmonies and the instrumentations and his voice just hitting those high mournful notes and then there are moments that it misses and doesn't feel nearly as genius and I think that's part of what makes it feel so raw. My favorite track is don't panic, the first track.
Mid-tempo rockers, turning the page on the quiet-loud-quiet from the grunge era, adding their touches of Radiohead influence and brit-pop bombastic singing, this album is ok, if not a bit repetitive. Seems to occupy a safe space in rock-n-roll here, nothing "edgy" or similar. Songs are decent and easy sing-a-longs (albeit not Beatles sing-a-long good).
Quite bland and depressing. Might be good for an autumn evening with a book.
- Wel heeel rustig, buiten 2 nummers ofzo - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 1 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM
There are some good tracks on here, but even the good ones are just so beige. Drums are dull and generic, guitar is repeating 4ish chord sequences, singing is very American idol (derogatory). This is what happens when good musicians make bland choices.
I expected this to be a 2. I had A Rush Of Blood Tor The Head previously in this list and whilst it was good for what it was, it wasn’t for me. This isn’t really my thing either but there is no denying the might of some of the songs here. As a result, I’m giving it a three.
There is no denying that Coldplay hit a nerve in 1999 at a time when the uncertainty of the 2000s was coming together. It found a place in so many peoples hearts and nostalgia is extremely difficult to argue with. This album is ok in the beginning and I tend to start doing anything else other than listen to it by the end. Unfortunately, Yellow was played so much for me as a kid that I cannot stand that song. This album is certainly better than they rest of their music, but that is a pretty low bar.
M'ha agradat molt més del que esperava la veritat. Tot i això hi ha cançons que sobren. Ns q més puc dir
A classic, one of the most nostalgic and emotive albums of my youth
Pleasant enough but pretty bland.
I can't understand how Coldplay manage to engender so much emotion in either direction. I certainly don't love them but I also don't have enough spare energy to dislike them too much either. Fine to play in the background and not be offended by.
Nice try. Still don't like but understand why it got acclaim.
Coldplay are old souls at heart, for good and for bad: tho their genre is alt, indie, or whichever white moniker you prefer, they share more w/ soft rock from the late 60s and 70s than they do w/ R.E.M. thru Pavement, etc. That is, Chris Martin and co. are essentially a folk-rock group, but they're not all that folksy or homespun: Chris is too graceful a singer to have the required rasp of a folk artist, and the music is gossamer rather than knowing or tender. What really drags them into the mud of mediocrity are their philosophical pretensions, which are even more boring than Radiohead's: 'That the spies hide out in every corner / But you can't touch them, no'; 'We've been living life inside of a bubble.' 'Yellow,' like 'The Scientist,' is a classic, tho.
In my opinion, “Parachutes” is not Coldplay's best album (and therefore not really a must for this list), but at least it is their debut with a major label. Of course, Coldplay were very talented musicians from the start, but as I recall, the band's most innovative phase was after 2005. Back to Parachutes: “Don't Panic” and “Yellow” are reasonably strong songs—the rest are OK, but overall I find the album a little too quiet and monotonous. Still worth a listen, though.
I am shocked that I have never heard Parachutes in full before, despite being raised on Coldplay as a child. It is also so blatantly clear that Coldplay wanted to walk in the shadows of Radiohead, and I don't mind that by any means but it does make this album feel a bit plain in terms of sound. There are some excellent songs here like Sparks and Yellow, but everything else felt like a watered down and more accessible version of already existing Radiohead tracks. This album had a consistent sound and I can definitely give it that, but the writing here with the exception of the highlights was pretty basic and not really all too noteworthy. I can get why someone would adore this album for how accessible it makes the depressing themes, but just listen to Radiohead and they will do it 10 times better if not more. Maybe A Rush of Blood to the Head will be different, but for now I am not super impressed with what Coldplay has to offer here.
This was easy listening music compared to yesterday’s album. I was actually looking forward to listening to something a little more mellow, so I decided to listen to it on my commute into the office. I figured it would calm me as I drove through the lovely streets of downtown Springfield. But what it really did was almost put me to sleep at the wheel. Jesus Christ how does anyone stay awake listening to this album? I’ve always liked Yellow, but I don’t need 40 minutes of that same thing. Giving it a 3 because I can’t justify giving it a 2 after using that rating yesterday. It’s not terrible, it’s just boring. Yawn.
Know how I know you’re gay?? Ok. Bad joke. Truth be told, I’ve always enjoyed Coldplay’s music (even despite the stereotype). This debut album from the band is more somber in nature and is not a collection of their more popular songs (with the exception of Yellow which was wildly famous),but the music is good, the vocals hit, and the arrangement is well put together IMO. A talented group of musicians who deserve the recognition they received after rolling out this album to the world.
Like a vasectomy through the ears. You can literally feel the testosterone leaving your body song by song.
Musically Coldplay is one of the blandest bands of the past century. Dull and boring. Lyricly they resemble a romance novel. This is awful.
un album muy refrescante, tal cual decia, montado sobre guitarra, el punto de partida de coldplay, canciones que pasaron a ser de cultura general, populares, y otras que uno vuelve a oir, que de verdad conmueven, y tienen esencia unica
I wanted to hate this album, but damn if it isn't good. Maybe not great, but it's moody and atmospheric, good headphone album. A lot of interesting sounds enveloping the stereo image. It's still very poppy and radio-friendly, but not offensively so.
I liked this record when it came out…yellow is a great song. But it’s also a little tired.
I'm gonna admit, when this came up today as my album, I let out an audible groan. But I was encouraged to give it a go, that it would likely not sound how I thought it would. First 10 seconds of the first song, Don't Panic, I thought, hhmm... is this reminiscent of Pavement? Is there hope here? I continued to listen and I can confirm it is nothing like Pavement. I wasn't able to get through a single song without skipping. This is not great. This is not for me. I will never independently relisten to this again.
I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to Coldplay.
Fint album. Hørte på albumet mens jeg leste The Count of Monte Cristo, var avslappende og passet bra med lesingen. Tror nok sparks er favoritten.
Enjoyed.
Not for me
I enjoyed this way more than I expected. For the year 2000, I guess I can associate them in a genre similar to Train at that time? Adult Contemporary I guess. Either way, I have never given Coldplay a fair shake before. A lot of sadness for a full album, but it's extremely well done. I'm a fan, and I'm really curious to see if these guys pop up again down the road. Yellow is such a good song DAMN.
Coldplay could cure cancer, end hunger, and house everyone, and kick Elon Musk in the dick, but that wouldn't change my opinion that their music is dog shit.
A lot of people have told me that the early Coldplay albums are really good... They lied.
Pleasant enough but I get why they get all the hate. 2.5 rounded up for the easy listening.
4.6 It's July 2000, I've just broken up for school holidays, and I'm ready to play Championship Manager 00/01 all summer in the computer room in our house (remember that?), closing the blinds to keep out the light. I'm mostly listening to Chris Moyles' radio 1 show, and the assorted Ibiza clubhouse bangers that come with it, but then drops this little album that somehow becomes the soundtrack to my summer. And then I never listen to it again afterward until 25.5 years later seemingly. Looking back, it's unobjectivebly a fantastic album. It's a bit of Radiohead but more polished in some respect, prior to their Stadium rock sound that I think detracted from the band. This is a band who've hit the sweet spot in calling the atmosphere of Creep but without the weird incel vibe that comes with it. It's an extremely pleasant album, so well polished, and I'm surprised I don't see it higher up in anyones list in hindsight.
136/1089 really solid record from coldplay which shouldn’t be a surprise but it is a little nevertheless based on some biases i guess faves: Don’t Panic, Spies, Yellow, High Speed, Everything’s Not Lost 75/100
I have avoided Coldplay all my life because I've been told they are like a worse Radiohead. While I see the comparison here I am consistently enjoying their songs. It's nothing groundbreaking, sure, but I'll happily return to this if I need some non-distracting background music.
Yellow is about piss
As their debut album it’s listenable and has a few good songs but it all becomes a bit like wallpaper anthems in the end and sounds very samey. Staggering that they have > 93 million monthly listeners on Spotify!! Guess there’s no accounting for taste 😝
Never been a fan, but if you have to give me pop, at least they have some real instruments. Liked Trouble. Reminded me a bit of Pink Floyd (if I may) 7/10
Lindo disco. Tranquilo, nunca lo había escuchado y si bien nunca me gustó Coldplay, lo escucharía en otro momento en el que tenga ganas de bajar los cambios. Siento que debe ser el mejor disco de Coldplay, antes de que se convirtieran en una banda para oficinistas.
I liked how one song sounded math rockish. Some tracks are solid. Coldplay is very hit or miss for me in general. But definitely one of the better pop albums out there.
I wish this introspective and accesible Coldplay would come back.
2.5 RYM
Classic! Can’t remember the last time I listened all the way through but I’m a fan.
I had a dj friend whose boyfriend was from the same town as these guys and knew them as your average try-hard trend-hoppers who would do anything for a gig anywhere. I presumed most of that was the unending contempt English people have for anyone trying to better themselves, but the sense Coldplay was just good enough at the whole Radiohead-lite thing to make it work yet not really committed to anything other than inhabiting the look and feel of meaningful artists was tough to shake. Basically a bunch of phonies. And yet! Right out of the gate, I was impressed with Don’t Panic and still return to it from time to time, Yellow, while as dumb as a rock song this side of Oasis could be, still had a guitar hook that couldn’t be denied, and a pretty good britpop/Bends/Grace facsimile in Shiver for the Grey’s Anatomy set. Coldplay retain this challenge for me - Chris has a beautiful voice, which can be approachable, even conversational when he’s not going for Buckley/Yorke, the music is evocative and moving, if never dark/alienating, and yet the rote sanctimony and lyrical stumbles - which are part of the appeal for many, many, many others - stop me dead in my tracks. Even on Don’t Panic, whose music is appealing to me, the lyrics feel like first draft placeholders “bones sinking like stones” in search of something with universal meaning “we live in a beautiful world” - scratch the surface and what do you get? Vibes? Something more cynical and calculating?
It's Coldplay in all its early glory. It's not as bad as everyone dunks on. It's lamer Radiohead but better than most other lame Radiohead impersonators. And it's better than their modern form.
I may be on some list somewhere for this, but I genuinely love this record. Great production, great songs, great performances, everything about it is a perfect debut, even if "Yellow" is tiresomely played out and already was all the way back in 2000. Also, I don't get the Radiohead comparison. Closest I can think of is Martin's voice can sometimes get a little similar to Yorke's and the lead guitar on "Don't Panic" might sound a little bit like something off Pablo Honey or The Bends. That said, by the time this came out, we were already had OK Computer behind us and were onto Kid A.
Obviously a classic.
This is the most Coldplay I've ever listened to at once. When I first discovered them, it was in the viva la vida era and I was up in arms because they had taken a song from the legendary Joe Satriani. I suppose he's moved on so I should too. But I'm surprised at the amount of substance I've found here, paired with a few strange lyric choices. Overall I enjoyed it.
Just ok.
Yeah yeah I know we all make fun of Coldplay now but once upon a time they were actually pretty good. I’ve never listened to this album in full and was surprised how much I liked it!
Unreal album. The musical theory of some of the songs is unbelievable particularly yellow. Sparks is a personal favourite
Incredible voice. Album starts off quite creepy but interesting song into No Self Control which was a highlight for me. Great electronic sound, fantastic drums. Great album, really enjoyable.
Hmm mitigée, quelques sons que je trouve bien, avec des ambiances sonores et des textures vraiment intéressantes, parfois de jolies mélodies, mais dans l'ensemble ça me touche pas de ouf en termes de tonalité émotionnelle générale. Dur à dire car je peux un peu me laisser emporter, et le timbre du chanteur est beau et agréable, mais c'est pas quelque chose avec lequel je vais en général bcp viber.
L’occasion d’explorer la discographie du groupe, au-delà de leurs chansons les plus connues/récentes. C’était limite un peu perturbant de retrouver les intonations et le timbre particulier de Chris Martin sur des sons plus traînants, plus amers—et une ambiance plus soft anger en général. Les paroles sont bien pensées (notamment dans Spies où j’aime particulièrement le refrain), et surtout du point de vue de leur répétition propre à chaque morceau, qui les imprime avec la mélodie. Je pense que pour moi c’est le type d’album à écouter dans un mood spécifique, genre quand on doit process un abandon/une rupture/une déception, ou quand on a besoin d’être main character d’un moment de questionnement généralisé. Je suis pas méga fan des arrangements de guitare dans Shiver, mais sinon l’instru rend très bien, un peu en background par moments où la voix est vraiment mise à l’honneur (comme dans We Never Change). Relativement à ma notation des autres albums, je dirais qu’on est sur un bon 4.
NUNCA DEDIQUE ESTE ÁLBUM A NINGUÉM!!! Absolutamente todas as músicas dele me pegam de uma forma absurda. Rock mela cueca pra branco que acha que é criativo? Foda-se, eles são bons demais e eu tenho orgulho em dizer que choro do começo de Don't Panic até o final de everything is not lost se eu ouvir na TPM
Coldplay é o tipo de banda que não desagrada ninguém, mas nunca emplaca algo espetacular. Pelo menos pra mim (muitas pessoas discordam). A maioria das músicas são bem repetitivas e monótonas, com 0 dinâmica. Vez ou outra fazem algo um pouco diferente que destoa e chama a atenção, como em "Trouble". É um álbum que serve o seu propósito de ser algo básico, extremamente digerido pra qualquer ouvido, tocável em qualquer loja de roupa no shopping. Uma banda que, na minha opinião, é 99% do tempo absolutamente mediana. Melhor do álbum: "Trouble". Pior do álbum: "We Never Change".
Época que Coldplay era bom ainda, e mesmo assim era bem ok. Pra mim esse álbum grita 3,5 mas considerando o que virou a banda hoje em dia, vou arredondar pra baixo. Dá pra ver claramente que tem boas ideias aqui que foram amadurecendo (principalmente nos albuns seguintes), mas no geral achei mediano. Primeira vez que escuto ele inteiro corrido
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.
Coldplay started out with three instant classic albums. The worst and first of these was 2000's 'Parachutes,' a mostly melancholy record with some huge singles/a song that would be well used in 'Wedding Crashers.' Just don't call me "Yellow" for liking this record so much. Aside: Why is this album named for a throwaway 46 second track? Top tracks: "Yellow," "Sparks," "Don't Panic," "Shiver"
It's really telling how different this album and the next one are in all of Coldplay's discography. This feels very small, almost intimate, compared to A Rush of Blood. I don't like it as much! Even the louder tracks like Shiver and Yellow just don't pack any punch. I like loud and ambitious coldplay, so Rush and Viva la Vida are much more my shit. This just feels kind of dated. 3
--Don't Panic...I like the guitars here --Shiver...I'm liking the more rock-forward feel of this album over Rush of Blood to the Head --Spies...pleasant --Sparks...not a lot of, well, sparks to this one --Yellow...simple but effective --Trouble...nice piano-centric track --Parachutes...okay --High Speed...kind of twiddling their thumbs here --We Never Change...dreamy. nice vibes --Everything's Not Lost...a jazzy number for the closer. Not bad but a little long
Really liked this whole album, will listen again
I've always thought that Coldplay was Just Fine, but nothing to get too excited about, but now that I see the intense hatred some people have over them, I'm tempted to rate them higher, because I don't think they deserve that either. Nope, still a 3.
has sparks and yellow wasn’t bad i listened to the whole thing can’t wait for next album
I didn't like at all. I don't understand why people listen Coldplay. It sounds like shit.
In the year 2000, rock music is in sort of a sonic purgatory. The height of grunge is far gone in the rear view mirror. What's left of it is sort of an off brand diet grunge. Nu metal is well established and highlighted by the recent and controversial Woodstock '99. The landscape is messy, immature and maybe a little toxic. So here comes Coldplay with their debut single, Yellow. A straightforward love song accompanied by a straightforward music video. So why did it blow up? How did something sweet and loving erupt into a scene filled with music made for wrestling and motocross? Simply, I think the world was ready for something more vulnerable and kinder. Coldplay's debut album, Parachutes, brought exactly that without sacrificing that rock and roll edge. Your memory might picture their sound as acoustic guitar and piano but it's easy to forget that this album is filled with powerful riffs and thundering drums. These things coexist to dance around a melancholic landscape of emotions. Doing so without boring you. The tracklist on this album is insane. The first six tracks are an incredible run of amazing music. It's unskippable. The band has come a long way from this original sound. Their discography is vast and has played around with different genres. All bands should evolve and experiment. I wouldn't want ten versions of Parachutes because this one is perfect and it will always be here. And I'm glad I got to revisit it once more.
Good, well produced.
Great album that started a pop rock trend in the early 2000s.
So nostalgic, genuinely some of the best 2000's pop/soft rock ever written
I find Coldplay very middle of the road, I liked “ yellow” when it came out, but do not have any Coldplay in my collection, the albums ok, but 5hats it.
Some great songs on here a very high 3
I really liked the first song, then the next few had potential but felt a little cringy. Now im on Trouble and man what a piano hook, gotta save that for sure. Just finished the album, i liked the last few tracks a bit more when he quit whingin' about a lass so much and took it to more universal themes. The first half was good musically but lyrically he was losing me with the same ol' self pity simpery. Standouts: dont panic, trouble, and everything's not lost. The last song wasnt amazing amazing but I could see it cheering me up when im in a dour mood
a lovely chill album 5/5
First time I think I’ve ever actually given Coldplay a proper listen and it really isn’t great… Sparks is a very good but other than that, it’s really not worthwhile
Boring
4 stars
Oh, not Coldplay! This really dull - I suppose making saccharine background music is why they are such a big selling band.
Shiver feels like a pre-empting of Mike Posner's Cooler Than Me, the worst pop song ever written. The rest is just ploddy
I mean, do I need to relisten to this one again? It's on my top (25?), I would love it if Coldplay would revisit this sound instead of the generic whatever pop bullshit they've been doing for 15 years.
Great listen. Knew a mix, and listened several times through.
Lovely.
El Coldplay que más me gusta. Un disco agradable de escuchar. Me gustan muchas de las letras.
El Coldplay que más me gusta. Un disco agradable de escuchar. Me gustan muchas de las letras.
Great stuff
Brilliant debut album. So many good songs.
Possibly quite corny, but still a 5.
8/10 Favourite: Sparks Least Favourite: Trouble
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.
In my opinion their second best album after the Scientist. Modern version of U2 with some good songs
can one not love both coldplay and radiohead
THIS debut album is the reason Coldplay is relevant - I could not stop listening to this when it came out, I downloaded it off Napster and it took like 9hrs per song. Don't Panic is still AWESOME and funnily was my alarm last wk : ) whole album is beautiful
Love their sound. Great compositions, wistful songwriting, can rock hard as well as deliver on ballads.
I first heard this album played in its entirety in a bar. I couldn't get over how much it reminded me of a less challenging Jeff Buckley. It sounded pretty good in the background drinking a few beers on a Sunday afternoon. not quite the way this band sound today. Hard to argue with the quality of this album. 3.5.
This was the soft rock that my peers were into in middle school. Sure it's derivative of radiohead without the prog or electronic that made radiohead great... but it's still good. I love piano ballads.
A bit of nostalgia
oh no, I liked this. I know Coldplay is the ultimate in lame music but there are some really nice songs on here. I didn't know it, but this is their debut album and you can tell they started out as a regular band not some hyper produced pseudo edm/pop music group developed exclusively for selling singles to ClearChannel radio stations and spotify. "The old Coldplay was better" seems like an insane thing to say but maybe it's true. While I don't really rate Chris Martin's singing abilities his voice is perfectly fine for this kind of music, though you can tell he strains sometimes. The songwriting is a mix of what was once called "adult contemporary" and even a bit of post rock. There are four distinct instruments here, the classic drums, bass, guitar, and keys, and the distortion for the stringed instruments is very limited, if present at all. Songs like "Shiver" and "Trouble" are really well written and really nicely performed and produced. Even the very last chord change in "Yellow" is a thoughtful little shift that speaks volumes, even though that song was so wildly overplayed that I got sick of it years ago. Only in the last ten minutes did I get tired of listening to this. It's lame, it's overplayed, it's music for wine moms, I still like it. It's nice to hear simple love songs every now and then.
There are some really pretentious and snobby negative reviews for Coldplay albums on here 😂Coldplay’s first four albums are amazing. Parachutes isn’t as good as Rush of Blood to the Head, but gosh I still love it. And I love Chris Martin’s voice. This is such an easy album to listen to; it’s so chill and relaxed. Favorites are Don’t Panic, Yellow, and Sparks.
7.5, very solid
You know I avoid Coldplay since the nonsense they started making in the 10s, but this relisten was romantic and beautiful and nostalgic. I forgot how many tracks I used to love. Great work everyone
If you’re an astronomer high in the sky and you fall, you need a parachute.
A little soft, but admittedly some beautiful pieces.
Didn’t really care for it
Didn't listen because it's coldplay
Incredible album which stands in such stark distance from everything else of theirs I’ve heard.
In a past life, I would've given this more stars.
As a Coldplay hater, I’m disappointed in myself for enjoying this album. It’s solid. Now I need to go take a shower to wash off the shame.
Gut, vor allem Yellow und Trouble. Der Rest eher eintönig.
Coldplay is a meme and this album did not change my mind that much. The vocals here are really grating, it all sounds extremely artificial and soulless.
Classic Coldplay. Some good songs but overall insignificant
I forgot how good their first two albums are before they really leaned into the pop side. This is pop too, but it has enough verve and feeling to keep it interesting. Kind of reminded me of Pablo Honey, and while Radiohead went on to be incredibly inventive and groundbreaking, Coldplay did the opposite. 3.5 up to 4.
Definitely a lot of nostalgia for some of the songs on this album, but as a whole it dragged. Just too many similar songs for me. I think a lot of them could be good on a playlist with a specific mood, but I wouldn’t want to listen to the album again. Will always be fond of the songs I already knew though. Fav song: Yellow Least fav: Sparks
Some bangers on here. Rest are a bit samey but you have to respect its peak pop. Specific rating - 4.2 Fav song- don’t panic Least fav - everything’s not lost
It definitely gets a bit repetitive, found that most of the songs that I hadn't already heard blended together a bit. But I had heard quite a few of them before and it's still a good mellow album and deserves its place on this list. Favourite song: Yellow Least: Parachutes
one of my fav coldplay albums because of the big nostalgia factor favs: don’t panic, sparks, yellow, trouble, we never change actual rating: 4.5/5
4/5
Its been forever since i listened to this album. I forgot how good Dont Panic and Trouble were. Not sure why both this and Rush of Blood are on the list, as both demonstrate their early years quite well. Still, solid album
Das Coldplay Debut. Angenehm zu hören, für mich keine echten Highlights die mich dazu bringen würden, es regelmäßig zu hören. 4/5
Is this just early Radiohead with verses and choruses? Yes. Have Coldplay been living off the goodwill from this album for the past 25 years? Yes.
Admittedly I've never been much of a Coldplay fan, but went into the album with an open mind. There were a few okay tracks here, Shiver has some interesting parts (Guitar/drums) and I found Spies and Trouble more listenable. Personally I just can't quite get into Chris Martin's vocals, I generally can enjoy higher pitches but the falsetto just doesn't hit home for me and it is used a LOT. I couldn't vibe with the moody feeling that seemed to run through every song. They're obviously good musicians/songwriters, there's just something missing for me.
Groundbreaking, it sounds derivative now, yet it isn't. It's the one "they"imitated.
Love every track.
Love this
There's still a good argument to be put forward that this is Coldplay's best work. Less is more; four guys playing standard 'band' instruments for 3-4 minute simple indie rock songs. And it works. There are a load of strong, memorable tunes here. Yellow and Trouble are classics and they probably could've had four or five hits with how well this album was received at the time. The real jewel in the crown though, is the excellent Everything's Not Lost, foreshadowing the greater ambition and bombast to come on successor A Rush Of Blood To The Head. I do respect the fact Coldplay have gone on to even more ambitious things from there but I'm personally content to enjoy the early albums and not hold the shameless collabs and songs with emojis for titles but no actual substance against them too hard.
Primeiro álbum da banda de 3 discos trás temas "exuberantes e delicados, que soa tímido e seguro ao mesmo tempo, um disco notavelmente humano"*. Ótimo! *Retirado da crítica do livro, por Paul Stokes.
Warm, and with a nostalgic millennium level of underproduced production value.
Hele albumet blir carry’a av 2 sanger
While there is nothing immediately offensive about this, I don’t dig it. It doesn’t move me
After listening to this album, all the song sound the same. It's boring and repetitive nothing special. Without tracks like "Yellow" and "Trouble" it would be a forgettable album
I used to slam on Coldplay as their singles just don't do much for me. I will say as a whole the album does stand up and I do get why people enjoy it.
Still a good album, shame about the rest.
This is FANTASTIC! I love the guitar tones. I can't say I was much of a Coldplay fan before this, but wow was this album great. The vocals and instruments go together so well. Wow is the singer talented! This was great! Actual...4.5. Liked Songs: "Don't Panic" , "Shiver" , "Spies" , "Sparks" , "Yellow" , "Trouble" , "High Speed" , "Everything's Not Lost"
Good 4
Very nice 90's Indie. I enjoy later Coldplay records since they have more of a connection to me. But this is pleasant to listen to without sounding dated.
You can't always make catchy songs and good songs, I think Coldplay makes both. Not something I would usually listen to, but Sparks is an undeniably great song.
It sounded a little more intriguing than the 2002 album that came after that had Scientist and Clocks, but likely not revisiting 2
Not a bad record - maybe Coldplay’s best? Don’t Panic and Shiver are two great openers, but they lose me after that. Coldplay would go on to become… much, much worse from here.
Not exactly music to dance to.
I’ve never understood the “wows” over Coldplay- it’s really rather bland and boring and ages like milk.
Pretty good
Overall okay, but “Yellow” is the only real standout for me—probably because it’s the one I’ve heard most and it carries some era-specific nostalgia. Parachutes (2000) sits in that late-’90s/early-’00s post-Britpop, soft-focus lane—acoustic guitars, gentle tempos, intimate vocals. “Yellow” pops thanks to its instantly memorable guitar motif and chorus. Elsewhere, “Shiver” has some lift, “Trouble” is a tidy piano ballad, and “Don’t Panic” sets a mellow tone, but much of the album blends into mid-tempo sameness and safety. As a debut it’s cohesive and easy to live with, just not packed with “wow” moments beyond “Yellow.”
A good debut from a cool-ish band. Nicely recorded. Not my thing I think.
Exceptional album. Lyrics and music are superb.
meh boring af
Music to be depressed to.
Sympa mais toujours un peu pareil
J’adore Ça faisait longtemps C’est ce Coldplay que j’aime
J'adore cet album, plein d'excellentes pistes notamment Sparks que j'écoute régulièrement. Peut être basique mais j'aime beaucoup Coldplay en general ! 5/5
Really good. Is it something I would listen to again and again? No. But it's good.
Very solid album with Yellow one of the best Coldplay songs right in the middle of the setlist. Quite enjoyable.
zzz
Ett par låtar jag gillar, men i helhet extremt sömnigt. Fattar inte alls.
Oj vilken debut!
The worst
Nope.
I mean Coldplay is pretty good in general, but this album was pretty slow and meh. Not exactly something I want to listen to very often.
This album came out during my primitive listening years and just before I burned all kinds of music onto CDs yet somehow Coldplay songs were never part of my burned CD focus. Why? I can't figure it out, they sound like a lot of the other music of that time and I liked my fair share of 'overrated' bands. The hit songs are good but maybe because I know them and they're easy listening? The other songs are ignorable and not memorable. Ugh this album perplexes me. I do like yellow.
A beautiful album that transports me back 25 years. It's a delightful blend of piano and guitar on each song, and Chris Martin's voice compliments the music perfectly. Any of Coldplay's first three albums are gonna get a 5 out of 5.
Dirge oozing through the rose-tinted memory of elegant light naiveté. Somehow less acceptable now that they're all older, wealthy and churning out indie shlte
I think this maybe the first coldplay album i've listened to. I get the hype
Didn’t change my mind about Coldplay but Martin is very talented.
So nostalgic! I loved this album in high school, but I hadn't listened to it since then. Gorgeous.
C,est bon la première fois que tu l'écoutes après des années. La deuxième écoute est pénible par contre, on se rend compte que c'est rien, que c'est quétaine et qu'il n'y a pas de viande autour de l'os. Mais bon, il y a clairement quelque chose qui fonctionne.
Le band qui a été inventé pour ceux qui arrivaient pas à keep up avec l'évolution de Radiohead. Prod correcte. Mais c'est beige overall. Chris Martin a le trophée du gars qui abuse trop de son falsetto dull. 2.49 étoiles
Que fort que aquest album sigui dels 2000. M'entanta tot, pero yellow com a prefe. Me du records i increibles.
Better than the other Coldplay album on here I guess. Hopefully no more
This WAS a great record. But thanks to this soft - crying - i’m sad - type of music (which could have been ok for one record only) today rock and roll is suffering. Coldplay still packs Stadiums with their feel good soft crap, while true rock heroes are left aside.
Best Coldplay album, and one of the best 2000s albums overall. This was really something when it came out: a new sound, great melodies, and a perfect flow from beginning to end. Everything’s not lost is a hell of a closing track.
6 - MEDIUM
The coziest of saps.
Back when Coldplay wrote music I (personally) could connect with, great album, all the feels ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After 25 years, this is as much of a time capsule as a great album. It is a close to the 20th century - a look backwards before the post-9/11 jangle of the Strokes, the hip hop takeover and the ubiquity of EDM. It is a distinct billboard reminding us all of a more peaceful place, just before the world got more complicated.
Coldplay at their best. I’ve always had a weak spot for this. Much better than later offerings
Kids these days forget, but Coldplay actually used to be good
Entspannend. Sehr gut für entspannte Abende/Wache
Easy listening with a few bangers. A great reminder this album exists!
Suits an overcast day. I do like it just don't tell anyone😆
It's OK. It certainly has a style, and the whole album flows together, but I do wonder if you took out the gaps would you even realize it wasn't just one long song.
If you can listen to this without any preconceived notions of who or what Coldplay is right now, today, then this album is awesome. Just enjoy it.
Will return to this. Wasn't feeling it in the moment.
Gute Unterhaltung, easy listening
People love to hate on Coldplay, but this has held up amazingly well for a debut.
Meh
Truth is I don't like Coldplay. But this album is excellent. It would be pretentious of me not to give it 5 starts.
A nice album but felt pretty pedestrian. Not much going on but nothing too gash behind it.
Half decent but signposted their future mediocrity.
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?
Вызывает какую-то ностальгию, непонятно почему - может от характера музыки, а может от воспоминаний о времени, когда их больше слушал. А может от того и другого.
iconic
Great debut album! 4 out of 10 songs are super famous. They expressed a variety of emotions with simple melodies. It's relaxing listening to them, but in general quite bland for me.
Great album! We all know yelllow from this album, but how many people have heard final track which comes with a hidden surprise. It contains some beautiful piano playing.
Classic album and what an amazing debut!!
Meh.
Their good album. Loved it when it came out and still do now, only notable thing is the production is muddier than I remembered. Shame how they developed from here, their recent albums are just unlistenable to me.
Good old Coldplay. Top notch instrumentals & songwriting.
I used to like this album a lot back in high school. It's just okay.
I thought I knew how awful Coldplay was before listening to this, now I really know they suck.
I listened to this a lot when it came out. It's pretty good but I do not listen to it anymore
OK.
very nostalgic. 5/5
Great album needles to say, and very nostalgic. I like the story behind the album too where the band goes to the english countryside to just create a bunch of songs, not in some huge sterile studio with time constraints. 4/5
plakuwa total i absolutny klasyczek
It's an album you listen to on your own, in ur dimly lit bedroom. Slightly sad. Don't panic is my favorite track on the album along with sparks. This and X&Y is the most meaningful Coldplay music to me. I remember being in the back of the van driving for a quick stop, doing something at a farm somewhere in what i think was a freezing night in november with Coldplay on the radio. Being very young i could never understand the lyrics to Coldplay but i could enjoy the tunes and started to recognize them as some of my favorite as a young lad.
5/5/10
Other than the all time classic, Yellow, I wasn’t too into this album. It didn’t stimulate my ears compared to an album such as The Genius of Ray Charles. Yes, I know it might be unfair to compare the two. However, my taste is my taste, and I suppose this one failed to suffice me.
Well crafted, but it's not going to blow your mind
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.
Just not a Coldplay fan. Music in the most vanilla sense of the word. Plain.
Now I understand the derision
Listen, I know Coldplay is whack. I think they're whack. Honestly, I cringe most of the time they come on the damn radio. HOWEVA, I'll say that I recall this at the time, and it's pretty good. When they were basically aping Bends-era Radiohead, they were a pretty solid band. Sad boy rock? That I can get down with. "Yellow"? Great song. "Don't Panic"? Great song. Are there boring songs, like "Spies"? Yes, very much so. But this isn't some Maroon 5-ass pop slog, it's an actual-ass album of pretty good sad rock. I'll admit I dug it. Spotify then rolled over into an acoustic version of Deftones' "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)", a GREAT sad rock song, which is, IMO, an endorsement of the Coldplay album as well.
might be a little blinded by nostalgia here, but I honestly don’t think I am. Phenomenal breakout album, and it has proved hard to top. No skips.
This is one of those albums that I listened to constantly growing up, but I've kind of forgotten about. Listening to it now for the first time in probably over a decade has me remembering why I listened to it. I used to always say that Jonny Buckland was one of my favorite guitar players. His ability to create a soundscape is impressive, but he'll never be on a list of best guitar players. "Coldplay" is kind of a bad word to "music enjoyers" and while I find that fair since a solid majority of their music is made-for-radio and formulaic, their early music was a different beast. Before Sky Full of Stars there was Spies and I'll choose to listen to Spies instead every time. Nothing crazy is done on this album. But something crazy doesn't need to be done on every album. It's a strong debut album for a band that would become so overplayed, no one wants to hear their name again. I just wish it were these songs that were overplayed rather than their later albums. (I know Yellow is played a lot but I like Yellow, dammit)
Chill album with some classics. I’d give it a 3.5
It seems like every album after this one was Coldplay doing an imitation of themselves in an attempt to get another pop hit like "Yellow" (maybe not Rush of Blood, although that one had "Clocks"). I find this to be their most genuine album where they wear their influences on their sleeve. Great from beginning to end!
I think I really like that early 2000s guitar sound
Listened to this twice, initially felt solid about a 3 but it grew on me. Coldplay frustrates me because their stuff I like, I like really like a lot but so much of it is forgettable.
I almost didn’t listen to this album, now here I am giving it a 5? This one is a conduit of “poptimism”, a showcase that mainstream, accessible music can be damn good. It’s interesting, with some of the best guitar parts in pop. It works in everything from church services to movie scenes. It also makes ya feel something.
A decent amount of cool stuff at the beginning, but too much of the album is just flat out boring.
Bit bland, kinda predictable, easy background listening
Several tracks take me right back to college. Felt like every girl I dated at that time listened to it, and by default it became the romantic soundtrack of my life.
it's alright. i liked high speed and everything's lost + hidden track. not for me but i see why someone would like it. I don't like the voice but im picky.
*listened before the project* are you now kidding me? Coldplay? If Coldplay is worth listening to then I deserve the Grammy
3.5
This is a good album. Not my favorite Coldplay album, but it's certainly up there. "Yellow" and "Trouble" are probably my favorite songs, but there are a lot to like on this one.
A couple good ones
Good genre of music. Not huge fan of the album.
When I saw the video to Yellow way back in 2000 I loved the song. I ran out and got the CD, but in retrospect I only listened to it a handful of times. It was nice, but overall it didn't blow me away as I'd hoped it would. It was just too mellow and no other songs really stood out. Their next album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, was the one that did it for me and I listened to it non-stop. I'm assuming that album is on this list, and I'm actually kinda surprised that Parachutes is. They had a couple of other decent albums after that, but they then took such a pop turn that I find them unlistenable at this point. Listening today I found the record to be solid, and it made for a pleasant drive to work, but that's about it. There is nothing bad about it, but only a couple of songs stand out from the pack IMO. I am wavering between a 3 and 4 on this one.
Personally, I like Coldplay much better than I like Radiohead, and this particular album has grown over time to become, if not a favourite, then at least one that I can happily play on a regular basis.
Hard not to like this, very well done and haunting in places.
Greyson was so right
A good album, I liked Don't Panic, Sparks, Trouble and Yellow the most.
3.5
meh
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'd forgotten how much I loved Coldplay when this album first dropped. I don't know if it's just nostalgia or if it truly did hold up, but I still love this album. It feels like sinking into a warm bath. Don't Panic, Shiver, Yellow, Trouble, Everything's Not Lost all added to Liked Songs.
Maybe it's the nostalgia, maybe it's actually good. This is the Coldplay I like, and it's a shame their recent stuff has been so commercial. 4/5
Man... I want this to be higher. Maybe it's the day? Great album, but too low key.
Still sounds good been a few years since I listened to it
I bought this album when it came out, and before it became fashionable to hate Coldplay. Actually, most people didn't know the band. I still think this is album full of almost perfect pop songs, and better than their later stuff. I rarely deliberately listen to Coldplay now, fatigue has kicked in a bit, but this is an absolutely fine album that has aged well.
the title song isn't even a minute long. come on guys. Coldplay is kind of mid (i mean that literally) and most unforgiveably, they're British but not even the fun kind of British. Still, it takes a certain mood but there's something about listening to this album at home while it's raining outside and you're thinking about your feelings.
Oh dear oh dear. If I didn't like Radiohead I am probably not going to like their derivatives.
I don't listen to Nazis, you should have learned that with the Kanye.
The era when Coldplay was a unique blend of pop, indie, and rock with a melancholic tone. Before they become a pop bland faceless group.
Already listened to this... this time i watched videos of the song... really nicely shot, it has that nostalgic touch missing in today's mvs
Favourite coldplay album
His falsetto sounds like a crying animal and that's the inflection for the entire album. Admit it: you only say you like this album to get with women.
Listened May 2025. I enjoy the original incarnation of Coldplay where they take the angsty piano-based alt rock of Radiohead but smooth it down into mainstream, stadium-filling pop. Strong songwriting.
loved it, perfect album for a rainy moody day
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
This album brings about a sense of nostalgia. This will always be one of my favorite albums of all time but I'm a bit biased
2/5. Sure, I get it, it has influenced many artists that I listen to nowadays, and Coldplay got going strong from the start and it's easy to see why. But I just don't like this very much. It's not even about Coldplay, this could be any band, it's just not for me. Chris can sing and there are some tracks that save it from being a loss but it is definitely not a repeat listen, just a little too soft. Best Song: Yellow, Everything's Not Lost, Don't Panic
They get a lot of hate. And, add me to the list. Bleh.
This is personal. I love this album. Spark brings me tears and good memories, but with a tint of melancholy. For me, this was THE best Coldplay album ever.
Not sure why but can’t listen to a whole Coldplay album
Pretty good amazing production nice vocals but some songs were great but nothing insane.
I've never had a strong opinion one way or the other regarding Coldplay, although I've definitely heard about all the hate they get. For a debut album, this is solid. I enjoyed this one.
Great album
Some great tracks, but lots of average ones as well
Is Chris Martin British? 3.5/5
I took a piss I took a piss on you It's what you told me to do And it was all yellow 💛 ...I think it's hilarious. I can't be the only one who's made a similar rhyme to this song. Was actually surprised at how much of this album I remember, as it was played by members of my friend group at the time of release. I've always thought it was rather tepid music for responsible adults (which made it weird when certain friends would play it as everything else was bangin' electronic music or punk or hip hop, etc.), and my opinion really hasn't changed. Not the worse music in the world, but does absolutely nothing for me, save for the fun of replacing lyrics with piss pig themes.
Old Coldplay is so much better than new Coldplay
They literally never came close to this album again. Masterpiece
Perfect album! Masterpiece! Every track is very nice. Smooth music and voice. I want to listen it again and again,. Super album!
One train of great songs, a masterpiece. Looking at other reviews it looks like a lot of frustrated people out there.
after all these trash albums this is like a breath of fresh air jesus. i love coldplay they’re a little on the simple side but it’s just vibey and hits for me. only didn’t like high speed, and the last song bc it was so long. solid
Very enjoyable album! Can definitely hear the music that will follow!
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.
I loved Coldplay a lot between the ages of 13-16 but fell off pretty hard when AoaL came out (did not like that one at all). This is my first time revisiting an album of theirs and I’m glad I did. I forgot how many incredible songs are on here and how beautiful the instrumentation is.
I figured that Coldplay's music would be, from the very beginning, trite and sappy. It is. What I didn't count on were tracks like "We Never Change" and "Everything's Not Lost", both of which are nicely constructed songs that don't go over the top.
platonic ideal of a 7/10 album. this makes for a hard time rating it on a 5 point scale. quite the conundrum. deserves to be one of the 1001? yea i spose
It’s objectively good I suppose but I can’t get into it. Sorry to these men.
Fuck yes, more Coldplay. Had to dust off my CD collection and fire up my old 3 disc changer for this melancholic classic. Still holds up. 🖕🏻for the haters
Helluva debut album....might say I prefer this to 'A Rush of Blood to the Head.' 3.5 stars
It's a nice, sweet, easy-listening album. But also, it does not really challenge the listener, or push boundaries, or do something that outshines its contemporaries. In fact, it can sometimes feel a bit derivative.
Rv/g
Genitals are kind of interesting, otherwise the human race would have died out. But they’re only kind of interesting. If your songs are only saying “I have this one particular type of genital!” then they’re pretty boring. Like Led Zeppelin. Their songs are definitely about the fact that they have dicks, but they’re not only about that. They are also about wizards and Vikings and drugs and The Lord of the Rings. If Led Zeppelin’s songs were just about the fact that they have dicks then they’d be Poison. With Coldplay, their songs are kind of pretty, slightly catchy and totally inoffensive. But their songs’ only subject matter is the fact that all of the members of the band have no genitals, and that’s boring. Making all your songs about not having a dick is no more interesting than making your songs about the fact that you have a dick. I can’t listen to 41 minutes of “I’m a eunuch. I have no genitals whatsoever. I’m completely smooth down there like a Ken doll!” Mix it up. Throw in a line about a wizard or something.
Decent
Excellent. That is all. Chris Martin's voice is fabulous. Listened before? Y Saved tracks? Y Favorite tracks? Shiver, Don't Panic, Yellow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved it. Saved multiple tracks
Coldplay was definitely a breath of fresh air when they first came out, especially considering what was happening in music at the time. On the flip side, bands that define an era often get stuck in a paradox, becoming products of their time, and Coldplay is definitely a product of the early 2000s. Overall, I think they’re a pretty good band with decent music. I’ve always appreciated their atmospheric soundscapes, but they’re not a band I feel much desire to revisit these days.
Being honest, I will not be listening to Coldplay recs. Yellow and Viva la Vida is fine, but I aim to have self-respect
Bangkok 2000. Done my teaching for the day. Hanging out at the multiplex waiting for a movie and bought this. Listened to it a bit and not much since. Wonder what became of them
This Is probably Coldplay’s best album, but that doesn’t mean I particularly like it.
5 Sterne
Voce irritante, musica offensivamente banale e allo stesso tempo pretenziosa
one of the most iconic one ever
Ahh... the perfect Radiohead album. Seriously, this has banger after banger.
I do like the last song, which was a good plan on their part. Otherwise if feel that most everything is, if not lost, then at least wouldn’t be missed. It’s a bit of a cut-rate U2 sitch (or I just might be a “things-were-better-in-my-day” fuddydud…), because they’re clearly a talented bunch but the songwriting leaves me full of breath.
Oh Coldplay- when this was released there was no baggage with this band and I actually enjoyed my second copy that I picked up somewhere in Calgary. I actually still Listen to sparks quite a bit. Not a bad album overall all things considered.
Coldplay in its purest, most perfect form - the Coldplay that was good without all the pop crap and political statements. This was some of the only good music of the era.
I don't like Coldplay much as an albums band but if they only released singles, I would call them near great. Not a bad album by any means but jarring as you have a couple great songs & 8 or whatever OK songs. I get why they are a huge band but other than a Greatest Hits collection I don't need much more from Coldplay. I Am Curious (yellow)
I don’t know why I really was avoiding this album in the history. I’d just keep imagining Coldplay songs I know and it would make me feel tired and bored without even pressing PLAY. Honestly, though, it wasn’t so bad. Pleasant enough and all that.
Was expecting to hate this way more than I did. It’s mostly harmless, like a bald hedgehog
What an excellent, excellent album from start to finish. I've generally only really known Coldplay from their bigger hits but all of these other songs are just so great. Just spectacular. 10/10
I prefer Coldplay a little more punchy; Viva La Vida is one of my all-time favorite albums. This record is a lot more low-key, sometimes to its detriment, albeit with some exceptions- "Yellow" and "Don't Panic" are excellent.
Pleasantly surprised by this one. Coldplay right after U2 is not my idea of a party, but this was actually quite a nice-sounding album. I'm really not much for the pale, wistful loverboy genre, yet I felt like I had tousled hair, a Henley shirt, and great teeth the whole time this was going. Pretty-sounding production, well-written tunes. Impressive debut. I can see how they went on to kick the world's ass, become one of the biggest bands of their generation, and foil the best laid plans of ultrawealthy adulterers.
Well written songs, good length, very engaging. The opening track is fantastic. It sets the tone. “Shiver” keeps it going. The only dud track is “We Never Change”; it’s a mood killer. Then the album closes with one of Coldplay’s best tracks. Quick redemption. Easily one of the better albums this experience has provided recently.
Hey, an actually good album, though the back half is slow and low energy. Still a 4 for the singles that have stuck around.
Phenomenal debut album with no skips. Easy to understand why this catapulted Coldplay into stardom. The other reviews for this album display an embarrassing degree of baggage that people bring to the table for Coldplay..? Unless Chris Martin banged your wife, just review the damn album!
djooour SKEEEEEEEINNNN oh yeah I SKIIIN AND BOOOOOONES turn EEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIN to something BEAUTIFULLLL Brilliant (debut!) album from a brilliant band. Each member contributes equally, I miss this version of "awkwardly excellent college kids" Coldplay before they turned into the Chris Martin Pop Hit Machine
Sonic perfection, one of my favourite albums of all time
