Parachutes - Coldplay Reviews

It's hard to believe that it's almost a decade since Coldplay released this their debut album, and what a good album it is. The opening track is the very melodic "Don't Panic". I heard this song many times before I knew the title and assumed it was called "we live in a beautiful world" because that is the main lyric ...  Read the complete review

Coldplay's first album Parachutes was the key to their success today. Although the indy band's first album only consists of ten tracks, the quality is amazing. DON'T PANIC - A great opening track that really kicks in with Chris Martin's vocals excelling. SHIVER - A slow track that actually makes you shiver as it is so ...  Read the complete review

Parachutes By Coldplay was released in 2000. The band are a London based indie band. They have been compared to bands like Radiohead and on listening to this album you can understand why, although they aren't as heavy. The music on this album is filled with sweet harmonies, mixied with distorted guitar riffs and percussion. The songs are ...  Read the complete review

Coldplay are now a massive band and one of the biggest in the UK, however this is this first album they released in 2000, and was the one that shot them into the limelight they now are in. The first song off the album, don't panic is a really good song for their first, of their first album. It is very well written, both lyrically and ...  Read the complete review

Parachutes is the first album released by the group Coldplay, one of the most successful bands in the world today. The album was a massive success worldwide, and some of it's songs are still played on the radio regularly today, even though the album came out in 2000. This album sounds very different to Coldplay's latest albums, I would ...  Read the complete review

Being a fan of Coldplay (mainly thanks to "Green Eyes") I just had to snap this bargain up when I saw it for £2.98 in the Amazon.co.uk January 2009 sale. The album is fairly short with only 10 songs but below I will rate each song individually and rate it out of 10. Don't Panic: This is a great start to the album ...  Read the complete review

I was introduced to this album by my brother shortly after it came out. I had vaguely heard of Coldplay, but didn't really consider buying the album. After one listening I was absolutely hooked. We all know that they have become one of the largest bands on the planet but I think even on this album you can tell they have a really ...  Read the complete review

Coldplay burst onto the scene with their debut album, but was the hype over the top. Yes and No. Unfortunately as with most british bands they get built up into making ground breaking albums which truly do not deliver and coldplay was no exception. Don't get me wrong Parachutes is a nice album but is it worth the critical acclaim ...  Read the complete review

I'm a die hard Coldplay fan, but do prefer them a bit quicker than this album!! Yes it's an excellent debut album but when I compare it to the others it's too slow for me. The great iconic "Yellow" is on here as well as "Trouble". It's another album that everyone should have in their collection or at least have listened to.

I feel as though I am treading osnto a frozen lake as I write this review Coldplay are, like it or not, one of the modern world's musical giants. "How did this happen?" I have often wondered. "Was it just the right time for their sound?" Perhaps a more cynical mind would suggest that it's purely promotion, publicity ...  Read the complete review

It was back in 2000 when Coldplay started to make a name for themselves. The debut single “Yellow” was being overplayed to death on the radio and TV and I found it was really starting to grate. It got so bad in fact that I put off buying the album deciding that Coldplay weren’t really worth bothering with and that one song was enough for me. A few ...  Read the complete review

Parachutes weak effort - Advantages: None - Disadvantages: Radiohead wannabees, Poor Lyrics, Terrible musicianship

I'm currently in disbelief that I haven't written a review of this amazing album, six months after I bought it. Coldplay's debut is a strong, melancholy-yet-uplifting album that exudes beauty from every track. From the opening bars of 'Don't Panic' to Chris's Thom Yorke-esque finale on 'Everything's Not ...  Read the complete review

Spider Web and im caught in the middle.... One of the most famous lines from one ot the best new indie bans around. I say new but really Coldplay have been playing the circuit for 3 or 4 years. This album, Parachutes is their first album and contains their 2 biggest hits to date. These are Trouble and Yellow. Their sound is a mixture ...  Read the complete review

Two years since its release, Parachutes is still a smashing album, which constantly spins on my cd player. Reasons for that? Many and various, but mostly the quality of the songwriting, which is really by far the best that came out of Britain in the last 2 years. What surprises me in this record is that it doesn't sound like a debut ...  Read the complete review

Once in a while, that incredible album comes out and you can't exactly put a finger on exactly what it is that makes this so memorable. The songs are written so well with such musicality that you swear that you've had to have heard each one of them at some time in your life, (if not in some other life). An album where extraneous noise is ...  Read the complete review

Coldplay blazed onto the British scene in the year 2000, with their debut album ' Parachutes'. The album a mix of rock hard tunes and intimate gems, all with one thing in common. Brilliant melodies that leave you addicted and wanting more. Parachutes is about all the feeling and emotions in life, love, regret, hope etc. But ...  Read the complete review

We are all used to hearing one band or other be touted as the "latest and greatest" thing on earth. The more you hear the use of the label, the less attention you tend to give. However, the English band Coldplay are much more than the moniker suggests. With "Parachutes", Chris Martin and his bandmates prove to be ...  Read the complete review

I was tempted to buy this album as I had heard the single "trouble" sounded different I thought so gave in to my temptation.And im happy to say i have been rewarded.For at least the last ten years, to do well in this musical field, you had to be a goodlooking celeb, not a musician. You had to be a Britney, or an westlife. Music produced ...  Read the complete review
