May 22, 200917 yr Can't we get subforums for all the other albums tooo? :sad: hmm, I'll start the discussion. I think Parachutes is the best Coldplay album by far. Anybody agree/disagree/want to discuss this?
May 22, 200917 yr You're all wrong. 6 years of A Rush of Blood and it's still my favourite album of all time. The first Coldplay album I bought on vinyl.
May 23, 200917 yr i know this is a coldplay message board, but the radiohead show i saw last year in atlanta kicked the ever living s*** out of coldplay last week. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
May 23, 200917 yr I'd have to go with X&Y. I'd put A Rush Of Blood To The Head as 2nd, than Parachutes. :rolleyes: What's your favorite song off of Parachutes?
May 23, 200917 yr Parachutes - Shiver/Don't Panic ARoBttH - Politik/The Scientist X&Y - The Hardest Part Viva la Vida - Strawberry Swing Honourable mentions - LiTII
May 23, 200917 yr Parachutes - Shiver/Don't Panic ARoBttH - Politik/The Scientist X&Y - The Hardest Part Viva la Vida - Strawberry Swing Honourable mentions - LiTII We're just talking about the first three albums; X&Y, A Rush Of Blood To The Head and Parachutes. Silly. :P
May 23, 200917 yr Overall I love Parachutes the most, as an album. But ROBTTH has got some amzing songs, so does X&Y
May 23, 200917 yr Parachutes has a nice raw sound, but not my fave. It's not experimental enough. Still its a beautiful relaxing CD!
June 9, 200917 yr To be fair, first albums shouldn't be.. Or maybe it is experimental becuase maybe they wanted folk songs originaly :lol:
June 10, 200917 yr i agree, AROBTTH and parachutes are by far the best two albums. is anyone else here a fan of We Never Change?
July 21, 200916 yr I love the 4 albums, but without a doubt my favorite is A rush of blood to the head, also among my favourite albums ever. It's the best lyrically: "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do, it was all yellow" "Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones and I will try to fix you" vs "So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a way, if you can tell me something worth fighting for" Of course those 2 ines above are great, but obviously this one is deeper, the lyrics to X and Y were kind of cliche (Of course some lines on A rush of blood to the head are, specially on tracks like warning sign or the scientist, but it's not a trademark) and on parachutes extremely simple and if you're not in the mood, cheesy. Then musically, Parachutes is a terrific album full of that relaxing and raw sound, it's a great formula, but you know it can be repetitive and simple at times. X and Y is full of arrangements and it's kind of futuristic, but it was too cliché (Speed of Sound for example). AROBTTH is more complex musically, The four of them do a great job, the album is much more diverse and although is not something revolutionary is a sound many bands have been trying to achieve. (Snow Patrol would kill for a love song like Green Eyes and Keane for the scientist just withouth the guitar). And besides, the artwork to arobtth is the best :P
July 21, 200916 yr oh and I almost forgot, the thing I love the most of AROBTTH is that no one compares it to Radiohead
July 22, 200916 yr X & Y is far and away my favourite, just takes me away and when Fix You comes on, I get shivers. Just so beautiful.
