Parachutes coldplay album
Just need to remember to brace for landing, that can mess you up too. If I ever find myself in this position, I’d be sure to cue up something off of Coldplay’s marvelous Parachutes before I take flight.

As the feeling of relief washes over you, you’re free to survey the horizon stretching out in front of you. Once you’ve gathered your bearings you realize that you’re safe and everything is going to be okay. I’ve never had the experience of slowing terminal velocity with a bit of fabric but I imagine Coldplay’s Parachutes sounds like the period following the chaos. When a parachute bursts open it’s a fairly violent affair, bones can be broken in the process if not done correctly. It’s the only song on the album I would consider bad and pulls this album down a few notches from greatness.

“We Never Change” suffers from some wheel spinning wandering while “Everything’s Not Lost” tips into full on corny with its gather- round-the-campfire singalong coda. Unfortunately, the album whimpers to a close. The gorgeous “Sparks” slowly spins and unfolds like a music box while Crhis Martin sails to the moon and “High Speed” would make a good soundtrack to the most pleasent car chase your mind can construct. “Spies” pulls a remarkable amount of urgency out of a band once voted most likely to put you to sleep (Travelodge poll, look it up) while retaining an overall cool vibe. With all the best songs being sent to radio, its easy to miss that the rest of the album isn’t drifty filler. “Trouble” might be the best of all Chris Martin works that wonderfully warm falsetto into a strikingly catchy melody while Johnny Buckland’s thick chords are dragged beneath the sea.

“Yellow” survives its endless use in TV Shows, commercials, poorly sequenced mixtapes, and radio repeats to remain a wonderful hand in the air anthem. Music doesn't come more touching than this. “Shiver” resurrects Jeff Buckley to take the mic on a sweeping (and totally creepy) rouser. In barely two minutes it’s one of the greatest things Coldplay have done and a hell of an album opener. “Oh/All that I know/There’s nothing here to run from” Chris Martin observes, “Cause yeah/Everybody here’s/Got somebody to lean on”. A piano figure twists out of the depth an incredible guitar solo kicks up solar flares. The guitar figure traces comets across the inky darkness of deep space. The beguiling opener, “Don’t Panic”, sails around the globe in wide-eyed fascination with the people and places below. The four singles are melodic genius, each sound like watching a warm sunset defy time and hang in the sky at just the right point, bathing the earth in sepia tone. I don’t know who culled the singles from this album but they nailed it. It’s a compulsively listenable record, the kind of album you don’t think much of until the realization hits that you’ve listened to the whole thing straight through everyday for a week solid. Comes in standard jewelcase with black tray. Slowly unfolding its pleasantries, it doesn’t immediately strike one as a great record but ends up pressing into you like a bear hug. Variant 6 includes stiff flyer for 'Coldplay Live 2003 DVD' on one side and reverse lists Parachutes, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, and Coldplay Live. Now that Athlete-Starsailor-Travis have melted into slush and evaporated Parachutes can be fairly judged on its own merits. Issue being, Coldplay were almost immediately more popular than their brethren and as such, became targets for critics sick to death of willowy British rock bands trying to bring the rain to America. Their first two albums had the misfortune of being released in a sea of imitators riding the Thom Yorke-mellowing-out-in-a-coffee-shop wave. My Favourite Tracks on this album would have too be Shiver, Sparks, and Trouble.Review Summary: Just 'cause it's cliche to listen to it in Starbucks doesn't mean I don't. 'High Speed' and 'We Never Change' are both great tracks that lead to a great last song of a great album, and that song would be 'Everything's Not Lost'. 'Parachutes' is a nice little song near the end of the album, once again nothing special, but it sounds great. 'Trouble', even though there's nothing special to say about it, sounds really nice. 'Yellow' is a great mix between an energetic song and a sad song, making it a perfect fit on the album. 'Sparks' may be the saddest song on the album, with amazing sounding acoustic and tear jerking vocals. 'Spies' might be my least favourite track on the album, it's not a bad song, it just seems a little average compared too the rest of the songs on this album. 'Shiver' Is The Most Energetic feeling album on the album, it's one of those songs where you want to scream the lyrics. Coldplay's Debut Album! This album manages to tap into all of the emotions! 'Don't Panic' Is A Great Opening Track Too Introduce The Album.
