Album Notes Coldplay includes: Chris Martin (vocals); Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, Will Champion, Phil Harvey.Recorded in 2001-2002.A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. "In My Place" won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.In 2000, Coldplay appeared seemingly out of nowhere and immediately advanced to the head of the Britpop class in the UK, while easily outdistancing the likes of Oasis and Blur in terms of US popularity. The most striking thing was that they did it with zero attitude and unassuming, melodic tunes humbly presented with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of memorability. That trend continues on the band's second album A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD. There's little stylistic alteration from PARACHUTES here, which is just fine, considering how enormously and instantly appealing that style is. While Travis, Elbow, and other entrants in the Britpop sweepstakes offer a not dissimilar sound, none can communicate with the honest immediacy and directness of Coldplay. Part of the key, apart from melodies so ridiculously catchy as to make Belle & Sebastian sound like Public Image Ltd., may be their working-class sense of all-for-one proletarianism (though not in the breast-beating Oasis manner). Even on "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face," when Chris Martin goes so far as to offer a few boastful phrases, the ultimate sentiment that comes across is the refrain "your guess is good as mine."

Report this review  The album whn Coldplay became like a U2 cover bandReview created: 12/01/07(updated 22/07/07) by: 3 of 7 people found this review helpful. After such a good first album, its a shame that chris martin and co started to view them selves as bono/u2 type characters, STICK TO THE MUSIC. This is complete junk, so much so that I would sooner listen to a pete tong megamix of a baby screaming, mouse farting, car alarms,and nails scraping down a black board than listen to this again.

Well, it's not exactly the same (despite the rumours) and mine came with a sticky label listing all the NME awards etc. they received for this album. That in itself should be enough. In my opinion, a better buy than Parachutes. Review ID: 10000000006365072 Was this review helpful?
