Parachutes

Favourites: All of them!

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.

What a great album! BEST Coldplay album!

This is a good album. It’s not great, but it’s good. Doesn’t deserve the hate. Sure, later albums do, but this doesn’t.

The Coldplay of today may have gone down hill quite drastically compared to the rather quite excellent album that is 'Parachutes'.

This was the first full Coldplay album I’ve ever listened to, and it was pretty good. It makes me wanna dive into their discography more. I knew yellow and parachutes, but was very interested to discover what else this album had to offer and I was pleasantly surprised. If you like soft rock, this album is right up your alley.

I care for the entirety of Coldplay as little as the next guy, but people's need to make hating them a part of their personality is fucking boring. Who's an edgy boy? Yes, you are! *cuddles*. Let me share an observation here: many of the 1 star ratings come from users who seem much more interested in generally hating music than liking it, seeing their ratios of Highest VS Lowest Rated Albums. Huh. Anyways. Personally, I haven't paid any attention to Coldplay after "Rush of Blood" and what I happened to hear on the radio or wherever leads me to believe that their further U2-like trajectory was to fill arenas and become service providers for their fans - saw some concert clips once, providers of happiness, I can respect that. But whatever the music became, it doesn't take away from the first two albums. Which are damn fine records. Sure it's all a bit "beige", but so is my favourite pair of trousers and our most comfy blanket.

I LOVE COLDPLAY! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME! edit: awesome album. just so great.

I'm not gonna trash it because it's Coldplay. I gave it an honest listen, and enjoyed it more than I expected. It's still Coldplay tho, but slightly above expectations. Slightly. Dude loves singing in his falsetto

Not my favourite band and also better live. Still quality!

Didn't realize how many of these songs I knew and that they were Coldplay? It's a good, if not one-note album.

Nice easy listening mellow album

I liked this more than I expected. I'm not a big fan of the giant arena rock stylings of the other Coldplay records that I've heard. Those records also seem super derivative. This is pretty in places, and has some emotion, and while I'm not sold on the quality of the band as an entity, it's a good outing. Much better than I thought it was going to be. Lyrics are definitely trite in places... that to me is the weakest thing going on in this record.

For the love of all music, just SKIP OVERPLAYED YELLOW and enjoy the rest of the album.

Une valeur sûre!

Coldplay

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this, soft but memorizable instrumentals and fitting vocals. Although I liked all songs, some were (for me) not as great as others so thats why Im not giving this album a 5. Otherwise a close one! Favorite songs: Sparks, Trouble & Everything’s not Lost

This is probably the only Coldplay album that I like. Otherwise I cannot be bothered to listen to them. I wonder if part of the reason why I like this album is because I listened to it as a teen. Makes me nostalgic for lost time. Best listened to while looking at a photo album.

It’s inoffensive and slightly uninspired Dad Rock but I can’t deny there are some catchy songs here. A 3 feels like the perfect score for Coldplay.

Oh yeah, Coldplay used to not suck! This is honestly just some nice pop music that doesn't try too hard. Still enormously influential. I couldn't ever see myself giving it a 1 or a 5, but rounding up for nostalgia.

Some really excellent songs here. Sparks gets me every time.

🗯 Despite the felonies of their future output, Parachutes remains a singularly beautiful record. Yes, it owes a heavy debt to The Bends and U2, but that doesn’t dull its impact. These songs are smashing — earnest, melodic, and heartfelt in a way that landed perfectly at the turn of the millennium. Chris Martin shines throughout, his voice fragile but insistent, while the guitars land right in the feels. It’s also kind of funny to think about: how did this shimmering little record inform such glorious sonic mistakes later on? The seeds of stadium bombast were here, but in miniature — more candlelight than fireworks. Yellow, Shiver, Trouble — tracks that made Coldplay feel like they were going to be our new Radiohead, not… whatever they became. Still, judged on its own, Parachutes is a lovely time capsule of soft-focus emotion before the confetti cannons took over. Can we exclude everything beyond from Coldplay cannon and begin again? Verdict: Excellent (a fragile beauty, even if it spawned future crimes) For fans of: Radiohead (The Bends), U2, Travis, Keane, yearning in lowercase

Great album. Excellent singing and lyrics. Yellow is one of the best out there. The album does feel like there could be some more going on, but that also allows the vocals to take the forefront. 7.75/10 (3.875/5)

No

Childhood, and also the trio of Sparks-Yellow-Trouble is wow

Is Coldplay always this depressing?

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.

lucid lead guitars, flangers?, grunge-esque sound, yellow always a banger. Remember performing this back in college. Interesting to see the evolution of their sound coming from this album. Martin is relatively safe vocal wise and doesn't really stretch his vocals like he does in later albums with some notes of 90s restraint that identified this generation of music. Piano is more rhythmic than melodic which I suppose is a coldplay staple. I see them playing with the swell of their arrangements here where they are later perfected in subsequent albums. last song kinda slaps.

Honestly excellent. Idk why they made this and proceeded to make evil music for around 15 years.

Very good, can't go wrong with Coldplay

Late rating cuz I didn't have time to listen to it yet. 4.3/5 The songs on this album remind me very much of some of Pink Floyd's best works. Very mellow and atmospheric, superb tone and vibe. I didn't know Coldplay are #9 on the most played artists on all of Spotify at the time of this review. Honestly a bit stunned about it cuz I thought that their music wasn't as liked. Guess I was wrong.

Banger. The album that started one of the most insane album run of our century so far. Chris Martin took a couple piano lessons as a kid and decided to be one of the most influential people in modern music. Don't panic - the biggest downside is that it's so short. What an amazing feeling guitar, so addicting Shiver - instrumentals on point again but this one is a bit weaker overall for me. Vocals could be a bit better Spies - didn't know this one before, it's lowkey really good. Like idk man how do they cook these instrumentals every time Sparks - one of the most memorable modern songs, and for a good reason. The gentle instrumentals combined with Chris Martin's soothing voice make for a mesmerising experience yellow - be sick of it topping the charts for so long, but you can't deny that it just has the fucking sauce trouble - ?????????????????????? stop it man, we get it parachutes - unexpectedly short, not much else to say abt it high speed - nice groove, reminds me of sting a little bit we never change - never knew this one, makes me feel a certain way when the guitair comes in. pretty good. everything's not lost - pretty good life is for living - its really nice actually

BEST SONGS: - Shiver - Trouble

Nunca lo había escuchado completo, únicamente un par de canciones, las más famosas. Me ha encantado, ahora entiendo por qué son tan famosos, es un disco con letras desgarradoras pero a la vez transmite mucha esperanza. Me ha sorprendido muchísimo y para bien.

Almost 20 years ago today, I knew one Coldplay song (Yellow), but from an a cappella cover, when some friends had an extra ticket to a show and invited me along. Chris Martin fucked up the words to one of the songs (I think Clocks or The Scientist) and made them start over from the beginning so we'd get our money's worth. I became an instant fan. I think I still have this CD, even though I don't actually have a CD player. Listened before? Y Saved to library? Y Favorite track(s): Don't Panic, Shiver, Yellow, Trouble, Everything's Not Lost ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Really liked it. Saved a bunch of tracks.

He estado tentada de ponerle la máxima nota antes de terminar de escucharlo

Parte de este ejercicio es tirar mis prejuicios afuera, y si escucho las canciones que no conocía, y cierro mis ojos y pretendo que esto no es Coldplay, me gusta y mucho. Super Radiohead eso sí, pero ok. Le bajo 1 punto sólo porque...FUI AL FRIGIDEEER ALGUIEN LO DESENCHUFÓ, CORRÍA EL AGUA ATROH, Y NOHABIANA'DEHIELOOO

The vocals are understated in just the right way, just the right softness on consonants to keep the melody and instruments in a lilting flow. Surprisingly ethereal beauty. Masterfully produced.

Aside from Yellow, I've never heard a single one of these songs but it reminds me of my childhood, the general vibe of music that I grew up around. Shiver stood out as a relistenable track. Listened to this one whole way through on the drive to work, pleasantly surprised.

J'ai toujours mélangé Coldplay et Radiohead dans ma tête. Maintenant je connais la différence : Coldplay c'est mieux.

Well, I think there are better Coldplay albums out there, so maybe this one could have been left off, but it was still good in a Coldplay way.

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.

Музыка: 8/10 Разнообразие: 6/10 Тематика и вайб: 7/10 Цепляемость (отдельные песни зашли): 5/10 Реиграбельность (можно ли рандомно врубить на фон): 7/10 Итог: 6.6

Don't forget these before Skydiving.

1. britpop never sucks for me. post britpop too. 2. "sucking pop rock bands" generally have a really great debut album. 3. i mean my favourite colour isnt yellow but you know what i mean. one time, two time. spin the desktop globe until we exit upside down. cheesy pop rock has been a part of my DNA since 10. continuing it into middle school until im now a junior. coldplay was somehow just like the old kanye and the old u2. their earlieast works are the best works. i still remembered being alone as a sophomore and joining in music class getting to group up with classmates and playing "yellow" like literally thats the last thing that mattered. playing in a band is literally the best thing that happened like what we are covering is coldplay, guys, its literally coldplay. i did hope one day i can grow wings and anything else. making music is like a chemical reaction it creates awe like when you look at the stars and see it shining for you. guess its just a bias but i really like it. 4/5

it's been a while ... Don't Panic was nice to hear again, but i'd hardly call this album an amazing listen. it was inoffensive and pleasant without stirring any real emotion or setting my heart racing. it'd be another 2.5 therefore i am down-voting to 2 stars

I like a lot this album. It is well produced, the songs are good, some of the best of band are there (Trouble, Sparks, Yellow, Don't Panic). The only thing that it doesn't make 5/5 is the lyrics. Chris Martin is not the best lyricist, but that's OK.

Great album. A lot of popular singles from a debut album. Music to get caught cheating with your HR director on an international scale.

Just an album you would listen to with your mistress.

Greit nok, ikkje nåke eg ville satt på sjøl

3.5

Bit sad

Good lyricism and sounds that are mixed well. Sentimental and intentional songs

Decent album. Songs you know.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I’m not joking. No, I’m not a millennial; I am indeed a young adult. But, there’s something about Coldplay that unites anybody, whether that be the millennials or young adults or teens forced by millennials to go to Coldplay concerts. That, dear reader of this review, is the emotion within the album. Over a span of basically 42 minutes, Chris Martin and company provide vulnerable indie rock that’s vague yet appealing, as in, multiple people can soundtrack certain moments of their lives to these songs. Yes, the obvious hits here are “Yellow” and “Sparks”, but “Shiver,” “Don’t Panic,” “Trouble,” and “Everything’s Not Lost” definitely deserve your attention as well. Each and every song on this album weaves together beautifully written melodies, interesting & unique chord progressions, and lyrics that are so mainstream that the underground folk would cringe if anybody pulled out one of these songs at a karaoke bar. This American gives this debut a 5/5.

Pleasant

A little Chris Martin goes a long way for me. Coldplay are undeniably musical, production quality is good on this one, even the songwriting is good. It's just kind of boring.

good

classic

This is pretty bland, early Coldplay is probably better than latter Coldplay but I don’t know if that is saying much. I feel there are people that hate Coldplay far more than I do, I’m fairly ambivalent, they have some decent songs but I don’t know if they can be considered essential listening.

Heerlijk rustig album. Lekker in de ochtend op de achtergrond

Niet beste album van coldplay maar wel nice

As a non-Coldplay fan I really enjoyed this album. Every song kinda sounds the same, but all good. A class mate in high school made a remix of trouble which got over a million views on YouTube which was pretty cool

This album almost suffered from its own success. It was everywhere when it came out, with radio saturation making sure everyone knew the songs, and soon enough it became "cool" to hate Coldplay. But strip away the backlash, and what’s left is a strong debut by a group of genuinely talented musicians. Parachutes might not be bursting with cultural relevance, but it was exactly the kind of record people needed at the time - something earnest, melodic, and quietly optimistic. As a debut, it’s damn impressive. Critics often brushed it aside as being “too bright and cheerful,” and honestly, when it came out I didn’t want to hear that either. Revisiting it years later though, it’s clear just how capable Coldplay were right from the start, and how well these songs still hold up.

Dreary enough, Chris Martin puts years on me. I’d say at the time it was released it was a nice change from all the boy band stuff. Shiver’s probs the best song on there for me.

Brilliant

I loved this album when it first came out, even back in my Nu-Metal–obsessed days which says a lot! Nestled on my CD rack between Follow the Leader and Significant Other, it still holds up brilliantly.

A really strong first half but it really dips near the end. just like the bands trajectory.

Bonkers that Coldplay used to make such good music, instead of pumping out shite stadium singalongs and uncovering CEO's doing the dirty. I audibly sighed when I seen today's album and I'm a big enough man to admit I was wrong. Lovely album, I forgot how good Shiver was, High Speed is also a bop. Chris Martin; If you're reading this (and I know you are) please have a conscious uncoupling from doodling on yerself whilst writing life-affirming stadium anthem bullshit and go back to this.

I love the albums generator for the new experiences, the unexpected views and vibes. I know Coldplay pretty well. I have enjoyed their music-despite the media bites through the years. But hearing this entire album was a new experience. I enjoyed it from the start, but after listening repeatedly, I love it. Very well done. It entered my heart and soul.

Average album. Really love the song trouble, to the point it's on one of my playlist. The rest of the album is pretty forgettable. As the album kept playing it started to feel like i was listening to one really long song

Great hits. Liked the vibe and pacing of the album.

Yellow

I tried, and it sounds like a cliche, but both listens I didn't notice when the album had ended

Wow are all Coldplay albums this melancholy? Didn't hate it but kind of needed a hug after listening!

One of those bands where it has become really boring to build your personality around stating that they suck. When actually their first 4/5 albums were really solid. This wasn't their peak but is a really strong debut that hinted at what they would do on the next album which is a 5. Some wonderful basslines on this album.

I like yellow and sparks most out of this album (but those are the popular ones too). I didn’t really like the other songs, it was really boring. It can be good like background music when you don’t want to pay attention to the music.

Some good songs on here but quite a bit was a bit too long and boring and overall it was just decent. 3 stars

I kinda wanna listen to Jeff Buckley now.

Very heartfelt and melancholy album. Felt like the atmosphere at the end of summer or saying goodbye to everyone after high school graduation. Not quite my genre, but it was enjoyable.

Ganske behagelig å høre på.

Me gustó, muy emotivo y no conocía algunas canciones. 5/10 Yellow 10/10

When mum says "we have Radiohead at home"

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.

Couldn't decide on a version: Pick one --- It was 2000, Yellow was in the charts. I went into the CD store to listen through their album. Are there enough good songs to justify the $30? I couldn't find any good tracks besides Yellow. Yellow kept charting - I went into the shop again and again. Still not enough good songs on the CD. 25 years later I regret not buying it. There are at least 2 other great songs on there. I bought much worse albums. --- Today's album: Parachutes. I go out for a walk, the sun is setting. It's a perfect soundtrack for a cozy walk in the green and enjoy the nature. Probably most enjoyable album for my daily music walks so far. Does it belong on this list? Probably not. It's good but not outstanding. Still a VERY good listen and surpasses the past 3 days of insufferable albums. --- Look guys, Coldplay were in their early copying other artists phase in order to get good at their craft: Chris Martin in a Youtube vid explains that… Shiver: Jeff Buckley Spies: Radiohead Sparks: Leonard Cohen Yellow: My Bloody Valentine Trouble: Elton John They were not ready yet for getting famous. But then their next album was genius. So they survived the "fame pressure". Good for them.

Really good guitar and bass tones and production. More in the singer/songwriter vain than the rock one which is different than I remembered. A solid record but you get the point 75 percent of the way thru.

Weird that I got these back to back. Anyway, 5 stars no question. A haunting, beautiful debut.

Parachutes doesn't break the mold, but instead approaches near perfection for an enjoyable and easy listen; a smooth indie rock experience that continues to worm its way into charts from sound bites on tiktok. The melodramatic vocals and instrumentals give a greater gravity to this record than the simple pop rock atmosphere would indicate, and so it's easy to misconstrue the record as something grander than it is, but it does remain a light, enjoyable experience - the McDonald's of indie rock

Coldplay has always alluded me, as in later years they seemed like they were attempting to find the commercial success of U2, but lacked the “spark” that U2 had (at least up until the 2000s). I did enjoy this first album, though, as there is a raw emotion to it. Down tempo songs like Spies and Sparks are dripping in Chris Martin’s contrasts between his gruff lower register and falsetto. It’s not polished, which I appreciate. Yellow is a good song with pop appeal, and Trouble is a popular song though I don’t particular care for it (overhyped for too long). I think my favorite track on the album may be High Speed as the musical and vocal interpretation was fresh, and the song is anything other than what the title implies. Of their work, I may like this on best but they still are not a go-to band for me.

Random thoughts: * Shiver has some definite echoes of Jeff Buckley. I was not expecting that! * Not sure if it is due to exposure or just the style but several songs feel very timeless. Sparks falls into this category. It sounds like a song that has existed forever. Trouble too! * Obviously, I remember when "Yellow" came out but I don't really remember the rest of the album. This is way more indie and singer-song-writer-y than Coldplay's later offerings. * I've always liked Coldplay overall but have never went to see them live. I wouldn't call myself a fan. This album should have been in my repertoire before now as this is a very good album. This is way more up my alley than some of the other more pop-oriented albums.

6/10

Not as bad as the terribleness they made later. Some really enjoyable parts even.

Pretty slow and mellow album except for Yellow which slaps. I really could care for rest of it.

Despite being one of the lamest popular rock bands of the last 25 years they have a knack for writing the occasional good soft rock song. “Yellow” and “Trouble” are well composed and performed, although the lyrics are vague and trite. Yet even at their best on this debut they still only amount to heavily diluted versions of 90s Radiohead and U2.

Soft rock just really frustrates me. This is the musical equivalent of a pre-teen novel or a Hallmark movie. It sounds like its meant to caress and reassure and do absolutely nothing more.

Don’t care much for their later stuff but I liked this album both when it first came out and still now. Most songs are above average and there’s some great stuff: “shiver” and “sparks” plus the hits “trouble” and “yellow”. They got a lot of flack and are a bit whiney but still deece.

Music and lyrics are just bland and inoffensive however Chris Martin's singing makes this annoying.

I love how personal this album feels. The vulnerability on each song and its purposeful storytelling throughout the tracks. Perspective really feels like a big part of this project and im here for it. Solid album and very many songs I will be hearing again and in the near future.

<3 Yellow

Coldplay get a lot of hate, but i really enjoyed this album

Standout Songs: Shiver Yellow Everything’s Not Lost

I know a lot of people think a certain way of Coldplay today, but when this album released it was a breath of fresh air. To this day, it is one of my favorites. The tonal sensibilities of Radiohead blended with the melodies and song structures of more traditional alt/pop. Catchy, emotional and cathartic. An all time debut.

A part quelques titres (hits), l'ensemble est certes beau mais plutôt mou, ce qui ne permet pas de mettre 4 étoiles

Quelques chansons cultes mais globalement assez chiant en fait.

Pre-listening notes: I have a ton of nostalgia with this album. It's one that I distinctly remember listening to while driving around town with my family. And I loved it so much then, that I bought it on vinyl a few years ago and have listened to it that way a handful of times. It's easily an all-time comfort album for me, and one that I know I very much enjoy. This is what pop music is supposed to be. It's so accessible and simple, but complete. Like, you couldn't add another instrument or change the harmonies/chords without muddying it, and honestly, probably making it a worse album. Maybe you could add vocal harmonies, but I don't think that would outright make the album better. If I wanted to be overly critical, I would say that the album is a little short, and it is pretty one-note emotionally, but I don't even think I fully agree with the latter statement. I think, on a surface level, it can feel a little flat, but there's enough going on that any intentional listen gets deep enough to see variety in tone, tempo, and general vibes. Favorite Song(s): Shiver, Spies, Sparks, Yellow, Trouble

It wasnt as bad as I was expecting . Not keen on his voice though.

I'm not keen on his voice, unfortunately. I dismissed this album at the time, having had it gifted to me. I wish I liked his voice more because this album is actually great for a chilled out evening. Really good tracks, consistent and well-produced. Love the subtle psychedelic guitar. Quite nice to listen through again, 25 years on, with a more open attitude to music than my grumpy 13-year-old self. The reviews I've scanned here remind me of her 😆

Listening to this straight thru, I don’t think I learned anything about Coldplay that I didn’t already know.

meh

Early coldplay was fire. Perfect rock pop album. Feels like a warm comfy blanket. As a teenager i borrowed this cd so many times from the local library. Chris Martin's voice is mesmerizing. So many great songs on there. Love yellow, spies, sparks and everything's not lost. No skip album for me.

8.5/10 I don't trust anyone who actively hates Coldplay. I get if you don't care for them, but hating them? I'm just gonna assume you're desperately trying to be cool. No integrity. Anyway, the album is very pretty. Well produced. Nice soundscapes. Especially love the guitar sound. Nearly every song is catchy in a way, although I think Coldplay's songwriting improved with their second album. Highlights: Don't Panic Spies Trouble Everything's Not Lost We Never Change

I always thought Coldplay was meh. Feeling as though they’re just another pop group from the 2000s and they didn’t have anything to offer. But this album kind of changed my perspective. The whole sound on this album is absolutely amazing and the songs sound just so great. I stand corrected on who I was before listening to this. Great album and would absolutely listen to this again! Favorite Tracks: Don’t Panic, Sparks, Yellow, Trouble Rating: 4.5/5

4.5

3.5

My third favorite Coldplay album after Rush of Blood and Viva La Vida both of which I have at five stars. So there are quite a few songs on here that keep this at a 4.5, there are a few tracks that keep it from a fiver for me. 9.67 ★★★★½

A very good album, but not Coldplay's best. 4.5 stars

I don't think it's the best (or even second best) Coldplay album, but it is a good debut with some great highs, including "Don't Panic". "Yellow", and "Trouble". It does run out of steam a bit after "Trouble", and if I had a minor complaint, it's that it gets a bit samey. I think A Rush of Blood to the Head has more sonic variance. 4 stars.

Absolute Goldplay. A truly magnificent debut and the most enduring and evergreen of classics even if evergreen isn’t the most apt word what the breakthrough single being ‘Yellow’. 21st century music really did peak very early on with this and their even more all-conquering follow-up Rush Of Blood To The Head. 5+ Stars.

This is a crazy debut album, I never realised it was before. Shiver may be one of my new favourite songs. Shiver, Spies, Sparks, Yellow is a crazy track run. It is a pretty mellow album without an uplift though. I wish they stayed with music in this direction rather than the poppy weird music they do now, but also understand bands have to “evolve” as the times do. But we should really bring back the eclectic-ness of the 2000s where popular rock didn’t have to sound like it was written by a five year old.

Helt ok

Heard most of the songs before. It flows well and a quick listen.

Meh. Kinda cheesy. Well produced though.

i like coldplay

I cant listen to this..

Was meh

As someone who wouldn’t go out of their way to listen to Coldplay, I was pleasantly surprised by this album. The RadioHead influences are undeniable, and it is definitely an album I can see myself coming back to.

A personal favorite

If it wasn't for the singles and a killer video this would have gone nowhere. What a dull album. Except those three singles. I always thought of them as Radiohead lite, but it's not even that. Its college dude in a corner playing acoustic guitar. When they hit, it's incredible, but man the rest of their stuff is so boring.

Love the Coldplay nostalgia. Yellow is one of my favorite songs of all time

# Album Name: Parachutes # Artist: Coldplay # Rating: 5/5 # Comments: Absolute banger of an album. THE best coldplay album imo. Closely followed by their follow up. It went to shit after their 2nd album. # Top Tunes: All of it # Would I listen to it again? Yes

Nicht mein Lieblings Genre, aber trotzdem natürlich ein super Album.

Really good

Solid, couple of bangers mixed in

Ok

I turned on this album and my blood pressure goes down and. That’s all I need to know.

-Like how its more mellow but has rock aspects -Very good drops -Like his emotive voice -Very familiar and well known

All the same

Really enjoyed going back to this. The Radiohead influence has never been more obvious, but there’s some cracking tunes on this one. Interesting to hear this now knowing just how incredibly huge they’d get, and having to admit to myself that they had the stuff from the very start.

They’re the English Dave Matthews Band: professional and “epic” while sounding, aside from a few hits, bland and forgettable.

One of the most depressing albums ever.

I wasn’t able to listen to the whole album. I will over the weekend tho

This is a really good album. Melancholy, with cool guitar parts and good vocal melodies. So many good songs on the album.

Coldplay's albums continue to be... mostly alright I think Not the most groundbreaking thing ever but it is the exact kind of pleasant rock you need sometimes. It's comfy, it's emotional, but not to the point of contrivances or anything which, makea me see why they got so big to begin with

It's pleasant enough, but a bit sedate. There was a real Radiohead vs. Coldplay rivalry when I was in high school and college. I'm a huge Radiohead fan and was always on Team Radiohead, to the point where I'd never even listened to this album in its entirety. It really does not sound very much like Radiohead (except for "Spies" at roughly the 3:00 mark, which sounds EXACTLY like the bridge from "Creep", so much so that it must clearly have cribbed from it), and it especially sounds nothing like either of the two very distinct Radiohead CDs bracketing its release. They've got a nice and kind of a "big" sound, more like Oasis, where they just layer on instrument after instrument (always one of the four primary rock instruments, including typically both acoustic and electric guitar) until it sounds absolutely enormous. And that's fine, but they've left out a couple things, including backing vocals (Martin likes to do his own falsetto "oohs" as the lead from time to time) and, with a few exceptions (notably "Sparks", the best track) syncopation. But it's a fine listen.

I don't understand the hate for Coldplay cuz if Billie Eilish were singing the songs off this album, y'all would be going crazy. This is a solid debut for a band that would become one of the biggest bands of the 21st century. We can all agree that newer Coldplay can't hold a candle to their earlier stuff, you can say that for a lot of artists, but c'mon. You can point out the "Radiohead but bland" argument and I can get it, but in all honesty this is a solid debut album from a good band and I feel a lot of people are scared to say that there was once a time that Coldplay was an absolutely great band.

Meh

Look, you really must learn to detach the artist from the album. 
 I didn’t manage to do that when I listened to Michael Jackson. Because whatever his sad fanatical fans and the Michael Jackson Estate lawyers say, he was a fucking weird plastic skinned chimp loving nonce. However I admit I’m a total hypocrite because if there was a Best Of Gary Glitter album on this list then it would get a 5 from me, whatever the creepy fucker has done. 
 And similarly, as stated in the top review (at time of writing), Chris Martin may be an insufferable cunt, but this is a superb album. Sorry. 5

лучшие 41 минута 25 секунд за последнее время personal favorites — trouble, high speed, everything's not lost сравнения с радиохед считаю неуместными, it touches the very fiber of my being. хочется закрыть глаза и никогда не открыть

Good late 80s hip-hop record tho a bit long

I love Cosplay! It's not my favorite album of theirs though, I just especially like Sparks and Yellow.

OG Coldplay is still great. I loved it in 2000, and I do still love it. Actually, I forgot how much I loved this one.

On the same level as "A Rush Of Blood" (or maybe slightly better, but to be honest, they’re so similar that I have a hard time telling them apart) – pleasant to listen, but ultimately neither very original nor very memorable. Comfy pop-rock that builds (with class and talent) on the legacy of dream pop, shoegaze and a bit of grunge to create something sweet and relaxing, fit for rainy afternoons and long distance bus trips. I enjoy it, but I won’t remember any of it.

Listened to this on my vacation in France while driving. Very nice. But sometimes he just sings a bit to high for me.

I have "Sparks" and "Trouble" on repeat <3

What’s the deal? I can’t tell one song from another. It’s musical tapioca pudding.

Is this a 3-star album or a 4-star album? I'm so torn. It's obviously a 3½ star album, but since that's not allowed, do I round up or down? Let's break it down. 1. This is almost wholesale ripping off Bends-era Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, The Verve, and a host of other bands. 2. On the other hand, they do a pretty good impression, and Chris Martin is vulnerable enough and the guitars shimmer enough that it all stands on its own just fine. 3. Their gift for crafting earworms is impressive, and will remain so on all their subsequent albums, even as they start mostly just imitating themselves. 4. I spent *so* many nights in the fall of 2000 with this album on in the background. Every dorm room I landed in for like four months had it in heavy rotation. That wasn't a bad thing at all. It's a cozy album and has a consistent vibe. 5. I have almost all of these songs on the playlist I shuffle most frequently ("My Happy Place",) and I very rarely skip them when they come up. 6. As a result of 4 & 5, I have listened to this album hundreds of times, way more than the three albums I currently have at 5 stars on my summary page (46 albums in; it's still early days.) Screw it, 4 stars.

Great music in some cases. I just don't like his voice.

These clowns ruined my life by putting me up on camera at one of their concerts! I was only there cause my side piece said she just had to see Chris Martin in person. These guys suck as people and their music is annoying garbage as well! ZERO STARS!

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

I want to acknowledge the moment that's been circulating online, and the disappointment it's caused. What was supposed to be a night of music and joy turned into a deeply personal mistake playing out on a very public stage. I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and the team at Astronomer. You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader. This is not who I want to be or how I want to represent the company I helped build. I'm taking time to reflect, to take accountability, and to figure out the next steps, personally and professionally. I ask for privacy as I navigate that process. I also want to express how troubling it is that what should have been a private moment became public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning someone else's life into a spectacle. As a friend once sang: 'Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.'"

если честно, это очень хороший альбом. можно смеяться над колдплей сколько хочешь, но начинали они сильно. кайфанула

It’s a real bummer the direction coldplay went. They just can’t seem to create the magic of their first few albums. And I think it has to do with exactly that, they’re TRYING to make a magical experience. It’s paradoxical in a way. But on Parachutes, it seems effortless, the sentimentality is treated as a foundation for the music, not as a deliberate product of it. They’re not aiming to do anything impressive here, the songwriting is very simple, but it’s so tasteful that it only makes sense it’s as timeless as it is. Sparks into yellow…. wow. Such a sweet album, but damn I really hate what this band turned into

I just love Parachutes and don't give a fuck what others think

I listened to this during a cold autumn morning while playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, the saddest and most beautiful race I've ever had in that game.

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.

This is on the list of 1001 albums I’ve heard too many times. Also, never take a coworker to a Coldplay concert.

4/5

This was fine. If it wasn’t so deeply nostalgic for me I might rate it lower but every song is burned into my memory. Coldplay are definitely not for me but this was a fun Friday afternoon time warp back to my childhood.

As much as I do try to be open minded with every album, when this generated I was fully expecting to hate this one. Surprisingly I enjoyed it, it’s actually a really good album. The only thing stopping it from getting all five stars is I didn’t like the song We Never Change. I found it very dull. Top Track - Don’t Panic

снова я со своей высочайшей похвалой: намного лучше чем я боялась (не выношу колдплей). слушать я это больше не буду но НЕ отвратительно

This is yet another album that pleasantly surprised me. I've always written off Coldplay as being a bit of a cheesy, soulless pop group, but I really think there's someone deeper here. It was pretty guitar forward and a far-cry from the Coldplay that I've known recently on pop/alt radio. It's very mellow and a bit same-y. Yellow is, of course, a great song, but I don't think I knew anything else off this record. Likely will be something I come back to from time to time when the mood strikes.

Tellement incroyable. C’est pour moi tout ce que je demande d’un album. On a la perfection à mes yeux. Au moins un tube mais qui ne se cherche pas tube à 100% c’est à dire qu’il s’incruste dans l’album parfaitement Un album relativement court, on est sur 40 minutes environ. Et aucun skip, aucune musique n’est en dessous Ecoutable en boucle C’est un énorme oui de mon côté

Franchement ça va Un petit air d'adolescente dépressive quand même

it had some really good songs but it was a little inconsistent

MOR. We can do better than this, guys.

Another one that has a decent sound but all very similar. I know some of the songs but a whole album is too much.

solid

Everything's Not Lost is one of the best closing tracks of all time. What great guitar work throughout the album.

Obviously a couple of decent tunes, though I may have dropped off, could be useful for future nap times.

To me it has been a steady decline ever since this album was released. A tremendous premiere that the band has never been able to replicate.

Coldplay's debut is still rather reserved sounding compared to the increasingly bombastic sound of what was to follow in their discography. I quite like it, it's got a lot of beautiful songs that to me are not overplayed yet. However, sonically many songs are not that different from one another, so there was still room for improvement.

Coldplay takes a lot of shit, but this album holds up well. Side note: I distinctly remember listening to this album while driving in high school. I had the portable CD player plugged into the cassette deck in my truck and maybe 10 or 15 CDs available at a time (whatever I could shove into the CD holder velcroed to the visor). I had to take this album out of rotation because it almost put me to sleep a couple times. It's beautiful music, but maybe not the best for driving. I also maybe (definitely) didn't get enough sleep in high school. Anyway, I almost never listen to Coldplay anymore so I was glad to have the excuse to revisit this one. Given how stingy I am with 5's on here I can't quite get there with this album, but it's close. 4.3

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

Honestly Coldplay you impressed me here ngl I was not thrilled but then it turns out you've got some good ones

At one point this was my all time favorite album.

I don't know why Coldplay get all the hate. Yeah, they're a bit watery but this is a good album.

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

This is one of those albums I grew up listening to. I still remember all the notes and lyrics. I was really into Coldplay as a teenager and bought each of their first four albums. After Viva la Vida I stopped. Never really gave much thought to why. My tastes became heavier in general and Coldplay didn't feel particularly interesting anymore. Parachutes brings back a lot of teenage memories. Don't Panic was one of the first songs I learnt on the guitar and it's one of the few songs I still remember how to play all the way through. Shiver was one of my favourite songs, speaking to my teenage angst about girls I liked. Mostly it's a slow and chilled out album and if I came to it fresh today I might dismiss it as lacking in energy but in the end it was pleasant to hum along to familiar tunes and this album at least holds up well I think.

The perfect album for douchey CEOs to cheat on their wives with the HR lady.

I’m a fan of Coldplay, so would listen to it again

Deserves a 5 despite becoming the band they are now

Not my favourite of their work, but definitely some solid songs here (Don't Panic, Shiver, Yellow and Trouble)

Coldplay sounds like melancholy while staring out into the vast blue ocean. I mean this as a compliment btw

Often slated as a band, good debut, but just a bit vanilla for my liking

99999/10 GOAT

In a time when perhaps the only reason Coldplay is in the cultural zeitgeist is because of a CEO and his Head of HR mistress caught on kiss kam, it’s refreshing to come back to time when it made sense to form an obsession over this band!

Coldplay's debut does exactly as its title would suggest: brings you gently back down to Earth with tender consolation and the quiet assurance that everything will be alright.

very good

What the heck happened to Coldplay. Great album.

A good voice with good music. What's not to like?

Coldplay...banda de hits.

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.

One thing I've loved so far has been going back to albums I grew up on and having a newer appreciation for, as I've gotten older.

When I was in 8th grade I thought this shit was so profound, looking out the backseat car window reflecting on LIFE. I recommend to 8th grade idiots, & I do miss old Coldplay, but even back in the day this wasn’t the Coldplay album I was going to.

Even worse than I thought it would be

Everytime Coldplay comes up I try to clear my mind and give them the benefit of the doubt. This is a perfectly listenable album. The first song actually starts quite nicely. I understand that Yellow was a huge hit. I get how people can like Coldplay. I just dont like Chris Martin's voice. When I hear him sing I want to punch him in the throat so that I don't have to listen to him sing anymore. For me this is a 2.5. I will round it up because it is probably not as bad as it sounds to me.

This was an exceptional first outing. Took a while for it to grow on me, but it has now become a favorite. So many well crafted tracks.

knowing yellow was on this album i was expecting more

Amazing debut, almost a 5 but knowing that they're next 3 albums are all better I'll give it a 4

Objetively "good" if you can be arsed to listen to these whiny vocals

A solid album from start to finish. These guys deserve the credit and recognition they get.

Immediate groans when I saw this generated this morning, but I tried to give it as unbiased of a listen as I could and honestly it’s really not bad at all. I’d even go far enough to say it’s pretty decent. Sounds very much like Radiohead with all the rough edges sanded off and polished until it was shiny. Favourite track: High Speed

- Yellow!!! (Is kinda good) - sad-chill vibes -Radiohead? - End of Album ist okay

Very nostalgic for me, but not a 1001 material.

Boring

Dentist office music

An extraordinary debut album. By Coldplay standards it’s mellow but includes 4-5 radio rotation worthy songs. Gentle guitars and piano coupled with thoughtful lyrics, and of course Chris Martin’s unique voice.

houghts: oh yes, time for some nostalgia, wistfulness, and melancholy. i miss old, heartfelt coldplay. songs: “sparks”, “trouble”, “we never change” rating: 7.5/10

3.5

Love this album. Some really great songs on this one!

Ik HOUD van dit album holy shit, dit is een van de beste Coldplay albums die ze ooit hebben uitgebracht

Some decent lyrics but I am not a fan of the vocals.

• 4/5 • Iconic post-Britpop and a phenomenal debut album • Several playlist-worthy singles and Yellow is still a gem after hearing it a billion times • Only real criticism is that the pace of the songs Is so uniformly slow that grows monotonous by the end - the whole is a bit less than the sum of the parts. Still wonderful though.

Já conhecia, mas prestei mais atenção e percebi que Coldplay é muito bom sem sintetizadores, mais melancólico e menos teor pop. Fico triste por eles fazerem sucesso, talvez se fossem medianos em público teriam continuado assim. We never change é minha favorita.

Dope

great album, i will always have a soft spot for it

3.5/5. Discount Radiohead. Made the mistake of listening to this at the gym during leg day, made my work out way more painful.

I do like Coldplay but haven’t heard the full album before. Very good, very chill album. No big rockers but good end to end

Gay

Well I just think they're neat!

The only Coldplay album I’d go into battle for. And man I’d go into battle for this one. It’s perfect.

Este es mi disco favorito de Coldplay. Poco más que decir 💌

I think people hate on Coldplay because it’s cool to hate them. This came out when I was in high school, but I never listened to anything but Yellow. I found this album super chill and easy to listen to. It’s like Radiohead, but you can actually understand the singer.

I remember working at Sam Goody when this album came out and hating it at first. But, the more we were forced to play it in the store, the more I found myself singing along. It's arguably one of the great debut efforts of all time - just in terms of how it took off and how it influenced the rest of the decade. Coldplay carved our a unique niche with this one.

Tidleg coldplay æ noko for seg sjølv, vakkert

This is the debut album for Coldplay and is well done for a debut. I recall hearing “Yellow” often on the radio when this album was popular. All the songs are ok although not very memorable. I think that a better singer would have been an improvement.

Wow, 2 Coldplay albums? OK, list. I do think this is better than their other album on here, though, or at least more Radioheady. Coldplay are just disappointing to me because I feel like they could be really great, all the pieces are there, but most of the songs fall flat for me (emotionally, musically, lyrically). Clearly other people like them, but I'm not here to grade on popularity or potential!

I know it! I think this is the first album I've already listened to (had a Sigur Ros earlier but it was one I hadn't got). Obviously I enjoyed it, plus nostalgia value, possibly one of the first albums I ever listened to/owned. I could sing along with almost all of it.

Pleasant surprise given I generally don't like Coldplay. Don't Panic and Shiver is a good start to the album. Massive OK Computer and Grace influence, though it's not up to the standard of those albums. Yellow is a bit ruined through overplaying for me, Trouble is nice. The non-singles are genrally decent if unremarkable. Album overall has a nice laid back vibe.

Pure pablum that is inexplicably popular.

Me surpreendeu, só conhecia as músicas do Coldplay famosas nos anos 2010

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

I don't think that Coldplay deserves all of the hate that it gets. They threw some really unique Pop/Rock onto the table at a time when mainstream music was going through a flux. Sparks is one of my favorite songs of all time so I may be a bit biased, but I do like this album a lot and certainly think that it should be on this list. 7/10

Alltid gillat Coldplay. Först i smyg. Dont panic är sjukt bra. Hela skivan håller extremt hög nivå rakt igenom. Bra skit helt enkelt.

Visst har hört mycket Coldplay genom åren men har nog aldrig lyssnat på den här skivan från start till mål. Får konstatera att den är enastående bra rakt igenom.

They used to have so much potential. The album is actually good but impossible to decontextualise, so it's very difficult to judge it by its own merits.

I tried to shed any biases I have based on what Coldplay has become and listen to the album as a whole. There are some incredible songs here in my opinion that rise above the derogatory "adult contemporary" label, but I'm sure there are more deserving, less outwardly commercial in their ambitions albums that deserve a spot on the list.

Chris Martin is still insufferable

pleasantly with how much i enjoyed the non-commercial songs of this album, especially high speed. feel like i haven't listened to much coldplay outside of the 'hits', so this was great to check out. way different appreciation for coldplay (and early coldplay at that) after listening to this.

5/10 it’s not bad just boring and definitely not as good or memorable as their next album in my opinion

It's just kind of sad. I like a couple songs but they're all kind of the same, and sad.

Not cool to like them but it's an excellent album

Mostly sad

Very sad and moppy, didn't like it that much.

I don’t know that I’m the biggest fan of Coldplay, but I feel like their music was part of the soundtrack of my adolescence. I recognize a number of the songs from this album, and the ones I don’t pass by in a smooth and inoffensive way. It’s good background noise, but I don’t think I’m going to say I’m converted to a mega fan.

Yellow is a great song. Everything else.... So boring.

Very acoustic and mellow Coldplay album with my favorite song by them "Yellow". Not as much energy as the follow up album. 3.5/5

What a polarising act. This is the only Coldplay album ( before starting this) I had ever heard and always thought it was ok, not world changing and not unlistenable either. Every single etc. I heard subsequently I have to admit didn’t make me want to listen further and I haven’t heard this until today since the time it came out but this is ok. Its descent Melodies, they can write a good song structure. I can kind of see why people don’t like Martin, his vocals and persona but let’s get real he’s no serial bastard and generally well meaning if possibly annoying. On hearing again today, I am gonna fall into this is a god record camp, yeah it’s that middle class diner party type of thing but so what, 4 Star

Despite the deserved hate this is a pretty good album. Consistent themes, great instrumentals and vocals. Some songs were ehhhh but others felt like Jeff Buckley. 7.5/10

Enjoyable to listen to. Nice background music, couple of sweet touching songs. Wouldn’t play it outright.

No me esperaba la oleada de nostalgia que me iba a causar este disco.

J - 3/5 Best Track - "Yellow" F - 2/5

c'est sympa coldplay

Coldplay no es un grupo que haya cambiado mucho su sonido en los ultimos 20 años, verdad?

Already heard!

not my type no passion imo doesn't reel me in whatsoever

Sometimes you just have to wet your bed and that’s ok. After posting this, I’ll run a search to see how many other reviews write “Parashits”.

I wet my bed, I wet my bed for you. It was all yellow.

I loved the song Yellow when it came out, and it still brings back nostalgia for my college years… But overall, this album feels pretty sleepy and repetitive – the songs bleed into one another without much change.

Cover 6 Used to love them. I'm over it. Still a good album but I probably won't return to it.

Meh. Only track I liked was "Spies". Everything else I've already forgotten.

wow, i never thought i’d enjoy smth from coldplay. enjoyed it, will definitely relisten

Nothing revolutionary. decent listen.

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

This album will always hold a special place in my heart.

I really like it overall. It definitely has that late 90 / early aughts vibe, but it's just enough rock with just enough chill.

I hadn't heard this record in a good 20 years, and I was surprised how many songs I still knew. Good songwriting, good production, good vocals. Kinda loses its energy in the second half.

It was a slow start, but it did pick up and then it went back down, then up just a little bit. Favorite Track: Sparks

It’s wild to hear the beginning. Coldplay wasn’t a recording band for long before they recorded their first album. They took their time, but the greatness of what Chris Martin does best is very present on this album. It’s interesting because you can see where Christian guitarist started learning how to play guitar. Probably in their bedroom in 2000 to this album. I think that ignited the sound of the late 2000s to early 2010s era of worship lead guitar lines. I always love seeing a line when it comes to lineage in music. ..and Coldplay is the inspiration for those guitarist and contemplative sad white boys, banging on a piano and I am not mad at it. Favorite song: Yellow, duh 😁

Took me back to my high school Coldplay phase

just fine

OMAIGÁAAAAA Always a 10/10 for me. Delicioso disco, preciosura. Thanks to my motherfucking older brother. Recuerdo coincidir con Manuel Armijos que este era el mejor álbum de Coldplay una vez que estábamos ebrios en donde Esteban. Quiero ratear de una vez pero no puedo. Yo, es que cero skips para este disco, ¿ok? Joya en bruto. I love every song very much. 5/5

"Yellow" +1, forgettable music from a simpler time

Я взагалі не дуже люблю Coldplay через їх неймовірно «безпечний» підхід до власної творчості, але Parachutes мені завжди здавався гарним та багатообіцяючим дебютом. Проте так було до вчорашнього дня. Я повернувся до нього після дууууже великої перерви, і він майже нічого після себе не лишив. Звісно, вокальні партії Кріса є головною прикрасою цього альбому, а всім відома Yellow розкриває його потенціал на повну. В усьому іншому це, знову ж таки, більш «безпечна» версія постбрітпопових Radiohead. Я б навіть сказав - «демо-версія», з якої вирізали все найцікавіше: глибокі ідеї та революційний на свій час сонграйтинг. Зараз альбом значно впав у моїх очах, і я його більше не вважаю «світлою плямою» серед нудотно-сірої творчості Coldplay. Чи сумно це? Та ні, мені й так взагалі байдуже було на цей гурт.

1 for shiver, the rest is so dull .

Pretty much what I expected. Not a big fan of these guys. 3

I dont understand the hype of Coldplay

6.50/10 Creates a hollow atmosphere, but when the whole album is hollow, there just isn't much substance. Overall it just feels like a very safe and un-risky debut. Don't Panic - 7.0 Shiver - 6.7 Spies - 6.3 Sparks - 6.8 Yellow - 7.2 Trouble - 6.4 Parachutes - 6.2 High Speed - 6.5 We Never Change - 5.9 Everything's Not Lost - 6.0

Just hasn't held up for me.

It's Coldplay

Мелодичный альтернативный рок, в котором будто чего-то не хватает

koldprenk

Conozco este disco porque lo escuchó mi madre muchas veces cuando yo era chico. Creo que los primeros álbumes de Coldplay eran un pop mucho más digerible. Hoy en día se han convertido en una banda extremadamente formulaica y comercial. En su primera época tenían un perfil un poco más oscuro, más hacia el lado de bandas como Radiohead pero sin ser tan experimentales. Dentro de todo es un disco que me resulta agradable de escuchar.

ew coldplay, honk shoo mimimimimi I don't wanna be too hard on it bc I don't want my opinion to come across as just hating for the sake of it. That said this was kinda boring. Don't Panic was a solid opener, Shiver had a very cool open, then just like taking a piss, it was all yellow. In fact I've definitely had more memorable pisses than listening to this. Was it awful? No. Did I need to hear it before I died? Absolutely fucking not. Favourites - Don't Panic

Don’t actually have a problem with Coldplay. Used to be overrated, now overhated, but they’re just fine. And so is this album. Chris Martin does have a twatty voice though. Don’t Panic (8/10) Shiver (5/10) Spies (5/10) Sparks (6/10) Yellow (8/10) Trouble (7/10) Parachutes (N/A) High Speed (6/10) We Never Change (6/10) Everything’s Not Lost (7/10) 6.4/10

The title track is simply 3 minutes too short. Real nice moments here, mid-high 4

A 2000's classic. Rich, beautiful and haunting; a testament to good music which holds up 25 years later. I just love Coldplay's earlier output. I forgot how great a song Shiver was, I hadn't heard that in a long time.

This was all filler and one killer. Not a great ratio, but a lot of it (most) was pretty forgettable. It was fine, but if “Yellow” wasn’t on this album, it wouldn’t be on the list and it’s not even that good a song. I did enjoy it, though. 3/5
