badlydrawngirl Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 You guys really like Rush of Blood better than Parachutes? I am surprised. me too! :stunned: great avatar btw :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I can't belive how much all of you love Parachutes the best. I'm not disregarding Parachutes or ROBTTH, but X&Y I think is their best, the strongest one. The first Coldplay album I ever bought was A Rush of Blood after hearing "Clocks" once or twice. It wasn't until about 4 months later I got Parachutes, so maybe that's why I'm less partial to that one. I've noticed most people on this board are lovin' Parachutes. I think it's incredible myself, it just surprises me for some reason. "Yellow" is my all-time favorite song though... :cool: I guess it's just because Parachutes is a very moving and emotional album. Although its very subtle and soft, the emotion on display is accessible. To put it another way, if Coldplay started off with X&Y (instead of Parachutes), I guess a lot of us here might not have noticed them or would have just dismissed their music.

Twisted Logic Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 This will seem excessively corny but I just gotta say I like reading the threads on this message board. Everybody gets along with each other, makes each other laugh, it's really nice here. I was shocked seeing that X&Y is most everybody's least favorite, and it's so cool hearing why everyone has their favorite album for their own reasons. Ok, that had nothing to do with anything related to this thread and I apologize. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifoune44 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 You guys really like Rush of Blood better than Parachutes? I am surprised. me too! :stunned: (...) me too !! how can you prefer the second lp than the first one :o parachutes is really amazing with good tunes on it ! actually, it's ma favorite : all songs are wonderfull ! i can't even skip one of them ! which is very rare for an album nowadays :/ even if there are some good tunes on a rush of blood to the head (scientist, warning, a rush of blood), some are... inexistants... without any imagination or interest ! :confused: anyway, everyone can choose its favorite :P :D can we pick on our best cd released by ourselves like a compilation of their first songs and b-sides :P this would be my fav' :D :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swallowedinamessage Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 can't believe X&Y is last in the poll! every track on X&Y is great while a Rush Of Blood has A Whisper .. and Parachutes was Coldplay developing their own style and music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokser2000 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 A Rush Of Blood by far. It`s almost perfect and I didn't expect X&Y to top it so I`m not disappointed. X&Y is growing by listening to it again and again whereas A Rush Of Blood thrilled me immediately at first listening and I still like it! Parachutes... well, maybe I`ve listened to it too many times... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuly2E Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 My favourite's parachutes but of course I also LOVE AROBTTH and X&Y :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokser2000 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hm... maybe I have to correct myself? Everything`s Not Lost and Spies are still two of my all time favourite Coldplay songs and they`re from Parachutes. Ok, I like all three albums but I love A Rush Of Blood! :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentleparachute Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 can't believe X&Y is last in the poll! every track on X&Y is great while a Rush Of Blood has A Whisper .. and Parachutes was Coldplay developing their own style and music I disagree. The style in Parachutes was already very well developed. If there's one thing critics can't accuse Coldplay of doing, it's saying that they've not developed whatever style of music they have on display in their albums, though it could be argued that AROBTTH was halfway toward X&Y. I can't see the songs in Parachutes being improved by much without losing some of its original feel / character. I guess by saying that, I'm kind of admitting that for the band, there wouldn't be much point for them musically to produce another "parachutes"...

Parachutes is a great album though, all three are. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningmonk Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 All three are great and different in certain ways. But I've gone for A Rush Of... because of all the 'really good songs' on there like Clocks,The Scientist etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 ^ Yep, I would agree that they have built on their style in AROBTTH and X&Y. They do have some lovely sounds and infinitely more layers in there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
°°°Morning°Glory°°° Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Just came to my mind again that I had decided that thread. And people seem to share my opinion. A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEADrulez!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badlydrawngirl Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 IT'S PARACHUTES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awmonroe Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I don't really think that X&Y is too commercial. I can't really detect any commercial motivation in it. Nothing like the pathetic Weezer sellout. Anyway, Coldplay has been doing a lot of promotional stuff on MTV but I'm all for it. Everyone should get their heads out of the crap on that station and into Parachutes, AROBTTH, and X&Y! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staring elf Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 IT'S PARACHUTES! Indeed, Parachutes is the 'perfect' album out of three. :) I don't really think that X&Y is too commercial. True, some of the songs are not 'that' listenable imo :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
