iTunes Review

Coldplay's ascension as the rock gods of the new millennium rivals that of Nirvana's just ten years earlier. Both were unwitting heroes of a rock scene desperate for a leader, and both donned their crowns with great reluctance. Unlike Nirvana, Coldplay chose the dream-pop route on their debut, with exquisitely executed melodies, mesmerizing guitar hooks, and just enough soul-searching substance to offset the band's gorgeous simplicity. The result is possibly the best pop debut of the decade, and worth every ounce of attention it received. Key tracks: "Yellow," "Don't Panic," "Trouble," and "Proof."

Customer Reviews

Nice and Mellow

This is the kind of music I would listen to if I were laying in a hammock on a beach in the Caribbean while watching the sun peak over the horizon. Each song has a warm feel to it that just puts you in a trans. In my opinion, this is the best album the great Coldplay has released in it's history.

Coldplay's Hidden Gem

Taking a look at Coldplay now, you wouldn't expect an intimate album like this to come from such a huge band. Well, believe it or not, the guys of Coldplay trace their roots back to a guitar, a piano, drums, a voice, and raw talent. With no huge radio hits, save for Yellow, Parachutes may be Coldplay's most overlooked album, and seeing as it doesn't exactly sound like the huge, booming band you hear now with Viva La Vida. But that's no reason to ignore this hidden gem of an album.

Parachutes is nothing less than a CD full of wonderful, intimate tunes that make you happy, sad, peaceful, and every other emotion. Without a doubt it's their most relaxed and laid back CD, without the pressures of fan approval, deadlines and such. Songs like Don't Panic, Trouble, and Sparks, throw you into a trance of drifting and hauntingly beautiful melodies while tunes like Shiver and Yellow just put a smile on your face. By the time the album is through, you're left with a truly good feeling.

After surfacing in 2000 with the breakthrough single "Yellow," Coldplay quickly became one of the biggest bands of the new millennium, honing a mix of introspective Brit-pop and anthemic rock that landed the British quartet a near-permanent residence on record charts worldwide. The group's emergence was perfectly timed; Radiohead had just released the overly cerebral Kid A, while Oasis had ditched two founding members and embraced psychedelic experimentation on Standing on the Shoulder of Giants....
