a good album!
, March 27, 2003Reviewer: fresh leader - See all fresh leader's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Parachutes review helpful I thought this album is perfect for a nice warm sunday or nightly a drive in the forest or along the beach. the melodies are diverse, from dreamy(Sparks)to frantic and skittering(Shiver). the lyrics are well written, not turning to old love cliches, but making their own damn cliches! It can be repetitive and it threatens to slide into monotony, but these lapses are few and far in between. A sweet and beautiful album. -
Perfect...

Pro Reviews: Parachutes
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The London foursome Coldplay are constant critic's darlings in the band's native U.K., showcasing melodic pop in a slew of EP releases and constant live shows since the spark of the new millennium. Not as heavy as Radiohead or snobbish as Oasis, Coldplay is a band of young musicians who are still honing their sweet harmonies on the debut release Parachutes. Combining bits of distorted guitar riffs and swishing percussion, Parachutes is a delightful introduction and also quickly indicates the reason why this album earned Coldplay a Mercury Music Prize nomination in fall 2000. Frontman Chris Martin's lyrical wordplay is feministic in the manner of Geneva's Andrew Montgomery, but far more withered. The imagery captured on Parachutes is exquisitely dark and artistically abrasive, and the entire composition is tractable thanks to gauzy acoustics and airy percussion. Coldplay's indie rock inclinations are also obvious, especially on songs such as "Don't Panic" and "Shiver," but it's the dream pop soundscapes captured on "High Speed" and "We Never Change" that illustrate the band's dynamic passion. This basic pop is surely a refreshing effort in the face of big productions like the Spice Girls and Westlife. Parachutes deserves the accolades it has received because it follows the general rule when introducing decent pop songs: keep the emotion genuine and real. And Coldplay has done that without hesitation. - MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide |
