Product Description

From Amazon.com

Music doesn't come more touching than this. With their debut single alone, the emotion-fortified "Shiver," Coldplay prove they can shift between elated and crushed in a breath, as singer Chris Martin pours out music's oldest chestnut (unconditional yet unrequited love) with the shakiest of voices and a backdrop of epic guitars. For 10 tracks on Parachutes, he adds new-found meaning to the most tired and overused rock sentiments--love found, love lost, love unrequited--over acoustic guitars and emotionally fraught rock. And for once, all the clichés ring true because Chris Martin genuinely sounds like a man picking over the bones of his life, coming up with just as many reasons to be cheerful as seriously depressed. Not that Parachutes is a depressing album--there's too much conviction to the guitars and hope in Martin's words for that. Instead it's a beautifully tender balance that comes as close to perfection as anything that's come before it. --Dan Gennoe

Chronique amazon.fr

Une fois encore, avant même de disposer d'une petite heure pour se faire sa propre opinion sur ce premier album, la farandole des étiquettes tourne autour de Coldplay. Radiohead, Travis, The Verve et Jeff Buckley sont ainsi convoqués pour décrire la pop nonchalante de ces jeunes Londoniens à l'ascension fulgurante. Des influences certes souvent justifiées qui ne font pas pour autant de Parachutes un sous-produit, énième ersatz de cette pop lancinante accoudée sur le zinc propret de mélodies souvent entêtantes et de textes habités par un wagon d'états d'âme, blablabla. Au final, le plus étonnant est qu'autant de banalités réussissent à marquer autant de points dans notre inconscient. Bref, étonnant comme les choses simples peuvent être aussi belles. --Marc Zisman

4.0 out of 5 stars The Cloudiest Day, Jun 23 2004
This review is from: Parachutes (Audio CD)
Don't Panic - This is a beautiful and mystical song. The guitar takes you to another world while the lyrics and Chris' voice really makes you look at the environment around you. 5/5

Shiver - A very sweet song filled with longing and heartache. Many could probably relate. 4/5

Spies - This song reminds me of rowing a boat across a foggy lake. Very deep lyrics. And almost scary. 5/5

Sparks - The sound is very dark and depressing though the lyrics are not. I like the guitars. 4/5

Yellow - A Coldplay classic. The most uplifting song on the album and a very beautiful love song. PERFECT 5/5

Trouble - Great song. Makes you pity Chris.4/5

Parachutes - Very short. Not much to say. 3/5

High Speed - Another sort of upbeat song. Pretty Good. 3/5

We Never Change - My fave song on the album. Some might say its a little dark but ithink this song might give others hope for the future. Don't ask me how. I could really relate to these lyrics. A very modest song and it makes you realize how little material things matter. 5/5

Everything's Not Lost - I don't particularly like this song but it's great to lift your spirits on a bad day. At the end you can't help but sing along. 4/5

4.0 out of 5 stars Flight Without Parachutes, Dec 31 2000
By 
This review is from: Parachutes (Audio CD)
First of all about Coldplay, Coldplay's music is from the alternative/indie variety following from such an artisit as Oasis but I must say that it is far from the type of music which Oasis play with more of a gentle approach and not as fast paced as say 'Roll With It' but more like Noel Gallagher's rendition. There songs are quite simular with not much change in variables of the music but it is there first album and the music is still of a highest quality.

I would buy the album because of the excellence and many top-notch tunes such as Yellow and the fantastic Trouble which I must say is one of the best tunes of 2000.

Overall, the album doesn't have much variety but is fantastic and I'm sure that Coldplay will keep improving in there music and will shine above the rest into the new year.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Copycats!, Aug 12 2000
By 
MaddKhameleon (Singapore: The City of Sin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Parachutes (Audio CD)
I know saying this now might eventually cause a riot, but Coldplay ARE copycats! So are Travis, so are Muse, at least Doves do have some degree of originality and dignity. Everybody is raving about the album now, I've listened to this for a few times, tried to make myself like it. Well, the conclusion is... they are just ripping off Radiohead, not in the same way as Nirvana ripping off the Pixes,but in a way that makes the album sound cheap, maybe(? ) Coldplay will be the next Radiohead, they do make a few good tunes here and there, but NOT NOW! There are just toooooo many 'the next Radiohead' around, Travis, Muse...even Grandaddy(at least they try to make another 'OK Computer' instead of making another 'The Bend') now there is Coldplay. A parade of wannabes. It's time! Radiohead is releasing 'Kid A' soon, the landscape is going to change again!You don't believe? We will see!
