wakedemon Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 i can't get over the crappy x&y lyrics. nice new sound but overall they could stand to go for some more meaningful words to put to that sound. Case and point: Swallowed in the Sea. Beautiful musically, simple and memorable..yet the lyrics are laughable. Rush of Blood combined a slightly smaller sound and not as electric as that of x&y with much better lyrics. Chris needs to realize that you don't need to dumb down lyrics to be relatable. The album highlights the best and worst of Coldplay for me, that being Politik- their masterpiece in my eyes and the best live track theyve made thus far, and a Whisper. Why?! why did you include this shitty song above B-Side gems like I Ran Away and See You Soon. Questionable... Parachutes is stripped down to the bare melody of the songs, and it really works. Don't Panic is simply beautiful. Shiver brings a bit of energy to the album along with Yellow. And then there are trouble and We Never Change; they examplify the tight grasp that coldplay has on their ability to use musical structure and intimate melody to touch their fans' hearts. Simply Amazing songs. I'd give the nod to Parachutes because i do not find a skippable song, Rush of Blood would have won if not for a whisper, and x&y...although making a better live show- disappointed from a lyrical standpoint.

Voxxyn Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 AROBTTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 it kinda sorta depends on my mood between parachutes and AROBTTH, but right now id have to say AROBTTH, even though i love all of them. Parachutes is more of a nighttime album for me. so its pretty much a tie between those two, but for right now its AROB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FixYouExtra Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 rush of blood - any cd with the scientist , warning sign, amsterdam, green eyes, clocks and god put a smile on has to be the greatest album ever written. give me a challenging conundrum!!

Cirrus Minor Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 My favourite is definetly Parachutes : I absolutely love all the songs (including "Careful Where You Stand" and "For You"), and the general naive and hopeful atmosphere. "Don't Panic" is a wonderful first song, and the couple "Everything's Not Lost"/"Life Is For Living" closes wonderfully the LP with a message of hope and harmlessness. I think A Rush Of Blood To The Head is the one I like the least, even though it's wonderful and includes my favourite Coldplay song "Amsterdam". I love "Politik", "The Scientist", "Green Eyes", and I like "In My Place", "A Rush Of Blood To The Head", "Warning Sign", but there are two songs that I can't listen to : "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face", and "A Whisper". I don't know why, I can't imagine how I could like them. I quite like X & Y in general, and there are songs that I love on it (mainly "Square One", "Fix You", "X & Y", "Low" and "Twisted Logic"). I love the X-Side, but I think the Y-Side could've been better (I find "A Message" and "The Hardest Part" particularly boring). Anyway, X & Y has a wonderful feeling and is a great album.

blue129 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 A rush of blood to the head!! :) It's wonderful with songs like clocks, the scientist, in my place, god put a smile upon your face..... in fact, it's one of the greatest albums ever written, if not the greatest.

anna111 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I love AROBTTH. Amsterdam is my favorite song of all time and the album is just completely brilliant. In my opinion the greatest album ever made.... well maybe with a couple of Pink Floyd albums close behind or tied... eh I don't know. I haven't listened to Parachutes for kind of a while... but Parachutes and X&Y are freaking awesome too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdMike Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 X&Y was the one which made me fall in love with Coldplay... AROBTTH was the one which emphasized it and Parachutes was like the cherry on the cake... My fav's AROBBTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell jar Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 yep definitely AROBTTH. there's something about that album that separates it. every song is so completely different and beautiful and magical. that said i also adore Parachutes, and X&Y. i don't think they have a song i DON'T like. but yes. Rush of Blood > Parachutes > X&Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stel-la Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I can't decide between Parachutes and Rush of Blood.. X&Y is really great too, but not as good as previous albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
