employee#8 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 One man's opinion on Coldplay's 3 beautiful albums. A Rush of Blood to the Head Great Songs Amsterdam The Scientist Warning sign In my place Really good Clocks Green eyes Politik Good God put a smile Rush of Blood to the Head OK/Pretty good Daylight Whisper ROBTTH has AT LEAST 4 great songs, maybe 5 with Clocks or Politk. Thats the key here. Parachutes Great Spies Yellow Really good Don't Panic Shiver Trouble Sparks Good High Speed Everything's Not Lost OK/Pretty Good We Never Change Parachutes Two great songs with Spies and Yellow, maybe even 3 great songs with Shiver or Don't Panic. X&Y Great Fix You What If A Message Really Good Swallowed in the Sea Til Kingdom Come White Shadows Good X&Y Square One Speed Of Sound Talk Hardest Part Low OK/Pretty good Twisted Logic Really wanted 4 or 5 great songs, maybe that will change, but on my first few listens I can only come up with 3. Still a very solid album, but I still expected a little more. Probably because Rush of blood was so damn good. Final rankings- 1. Rush Of Blood To The Head 2. X&Y 3. Parachutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Parachutes by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrackedjack1 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 For me Its X&Y AROBTTH Parachutes 10/10 Songs on X&Y=Talk, White Shadows, Square One, X&Y, Fix You 10/10 on AROBTTH=Clocks, Politik, Scientist, GPASUYF, Amsterdam 10/10 on Parachutes=Shiver, Spies, Yellow, Trouble X&Y wins because it ROCKS much more than any other album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szuchy Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Well, my lists are completely different from yours, but overall I can't judge X&Y yet based on just a few days. It takes me a couple weeks to really get to know each of the individual songs on an album. And the true test for me is whether like rush of blood i am still enthusiastically listening to it months later. But why just compare to coldplay's own work? What about OK computer, and Joshua Tree? I don't think it measures up to either of those, but like I said I have to give it time to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Justine* Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 This is a hard question. Parachutes is the most listen-able album for me. Whether that means that it is the best, I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I didn't agree with you on the majority of your song categorization so i wouldn't really consider this a very solid way of comparing the albums to one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colduser Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Each album has a greatness of its own. Comparing them would be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Parachutes by far. agreed. and there are more than 2 good songs on parachutes! (barring high speed for some people), its all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my post I think I made it clear that this was just my first impression of X&Y and that things could certainly change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 X&Y is much better than the other two i think... i mean it's got some rock songs, ballads, acoustics, all four of them singing together... :cool: ok, it's not as good as OK computer, the soft bulletin or ágaetis byrjun but the best coldplay album is yet to come! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victaniac Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 X&Y is much better to me... Oy and let's not start up those Radiohead opinions! They're thread stealers :sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjack2 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Oy and let's not start up those Radiohead opinions! They're thread stealers :sneaky: lol :P I can't judge yet, for a great album has to stand the test of time and multi million playings by me, and i haven't had that chance with this yet, I would go for AROBTTH over Parachutes, but i can't rate this yet, as i still think all the songs are awesome, something that frequently happens with me and new albums so, i'm gonna have to let it sink in a while to really sort out the wheat from the chaff.
