Pros: Wow, Coldplay can rock! Quite a few of these songs are musically and lyrically intriguing. Cons: A few tracks that drag or are too similar to popular singles from Parachutes.
Author’s Note: I initially reviewed this album about a week and a half before its release, and since then my excitement about this album seems to have worn off a bit - Coldplay's songs are intriguingly composed but sometimes frustratingly...
Pros: Scary melodies, simple melodies, gothic melodies, Coldplay definitely broadens their horizons. Cons: Some moments of utter and total monotony.
Coldplay have always been one of those bands that I figured wasn't worth the time. I heard that it was slow, that it was soft, that it was "Radiohead lite". But there was just too much competition, until now. I must say that the moment I ...
Pros: Nice vocals, good instrumentals, easy to listen to Cons: Very repetitive sound
A close friend of mine recently became obsessed with the music video to "The Scientist" and after a single viewing of the video, I could see why. The music was haunting and the images that accompanied it was disturbing in a slow, drunken, foreboding ...
Pros: Chris Martin's voice, layers of guitar, cohesive whole of the album Cons: Whisper, a song or two simply goes on too long.
I'll admit it, when I first heard Coldplay - in the form of their single Yellow - I thought, great another band trying to be Travis trying to be Oasis trying to be the Beatles. I mean, come on, some of the lyrics to that song are just plain...
Pros: Excellent, mature songwriting. It grows on you. Cons: Sometimes very repetitive.
Allow me to get sentimental for a bit.
I have a 15-month-old baby girl. Her name is Cassandra Lynn. She is my little pumpkin. Her mother and I both simply adore music, so it was a foregone conclusion that Cassie would love music as well--I...
Pros: some competent musicianship, great for the person suffering from insomnia Cons: extremely boring, jarring, and of course, we can't forget that "I just don't get it"
Last year, English soft rockers Coldplay exploded, thanks to the success of their breakthrough hit Yellow, a chiming bit of Britpop that recalled what Radiohead used to sound like back when they used actual instruments....
I really probably shouldn’t enjoy this album even half as much as I do. Aside for being shamelessly unoriginal, none of the music here is exactly what I would call particularly interesting – especially as far as the non-vocal melodies go – and it ...
Pros: Brilliant second album that eclipses the over-rated "Parachutes" effortlessly. Cons: Drags on a bit in some places, no songs really stand out.
Coldplay's debut album "Parachutes" recieved high praise from critics, and all of my friends seemed to love it as well. I didn't seem to 'get' it however, and even though there were 4 or 5 good songs, and a couple of decent ones, the album as a whole...
Pros: Sprinkling of guitar/vocal escapades to rival any intrepid explorers adventures. Cons: The search for the holy grail finds itself down a cul-de-sac.
The good news is that Coldplay have consolidated their billing as the shining lights most likely to. The downside is that they have yet to mastermind a revelatory record. While 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' is never less than an interesting listen it has...
Pros: A change in tack, interesting new direction Cons: Ambitious, sometimes stretched sound
Coldplay seem to be one of the most understated bands around. They rarely say anything, and when they do they don’t exactly mince words. Their little spiel about free trade in the liner notes couldn’t be any more bland – it’s a worthy cause guys, but you...
Pros: Has variety? Cons: Just another boring sell-out.
Edit: Looking back on this, while I still agree with the review, I have no idea where I got the title from. It may have been from the techno-like repetition of the music, but... the music itself doesn't sound like techno. *shrugs* Oh well. It ...
Pros: Thoughtful, Emotional Music Cons: A Little Too Dreary At Times?
I must admit, when Coldplay first emerged on the scene with their first album, Parachutes, and big single, "Yellow" was playing everywhere on the planet simultaneously, I barely noticed. I did find “Yellow” to be poppy, uplifting, and...
Coldplay s follow-up to Parachutes picks up where they left off. Thanks in part to Chris Martin s ethereal voice and the sweeping lines that emanate f...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
