COLDPLAY - A RUSH OF
BLOOD TO THE HEAD
(2002)
An album that confirms
Coldplay as the most inspiring group to hit British rock
music since the days of Britpop.
From the sumptuous
'Politik', to the wistful 'Amsterdam', this is an album
of roller coaster killer chord changes and gorgeous
melody. This is dramatic music, and, like all the great
rock bands, the combination of harmonics and rhythm is
well conceived and executed.
Chris Martin's pleading
voice has the power to move in the way of a John Lennon,
Bono, Richard Ashcroft, Lou Reed or Jack Bruce -
especially on 'The Scientist', and the stand-out track on
the album, 'Warning Sign' - a definitive Coldplay anthem.
It's the richness of
sound, and powerful melodies, which make this album
outstanding. The title track, 'A Rush Of Blood To The
Head', encapsulating this.

Product Description
Description
Coldplay return with 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends', an album that sees the band emerge from the success of 2005's 'X&Y' with the same hunger that has gained them global success ever since 2000's 'Parachutes'. Lead single 'Violet Hill' contains trade mark catchy piano hooks, along witha heavy guitar edge that emphasises the band's hunger. Chris Martin continues to shine as a songwriter and musician, while his bandmates provide the ground on which the music can come to life. |

COLDPLAY'S X&Y ALBUM
X&Y (Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.co.uk Album Description
Coldplay's massively anticipated new album, X&Y, is
the follow-up to 2002's 16-million selling A Rush of Blood To
The Head and includes the single "Speed of Sound". X&Y
was recorded at studios in the UK and has been produced by Danton
Supple (Morrissey, Elbow), Ken Nelson (Badly Drawn Boy, Kings of
Convenience) and the band themselves.
Tracks include:
"Square One":Probable
single. Built around a subtle electronic drum beat reminiscent of
Brian Eno or Berlin-period Bowie, the song builds into a huge
chorus featuring massive guitars and organ. Like Radiohead's
"Paranoid Android", it sounds like their most ambitious
and possibly best song yet.
"What If":Starting with
a simple piano, a fragile-sounding Chris sings, "What if you
decide/You don't want me there by your side... in your
life". This album's "The Scientist".
"Talk":A possible B-side
to the first single, "Talk" takes the riff from
electronic music legends Kraftwerk's "Computer Love"
and builds a completely new song. It keeps the mechanical beat of
the original but adds a huge guitar and dancefloor filling
bass-line. Stadiums won't be big enough to contain it.
"'Til Kingdom Come":This
was written for Johnny Cash, but he died before he could record
it. Coldplay's version is a sweet Dylan-esque folk song on
acoustic guitar. "For you I'd wait til kingdom come/Until my
days, my days are done." Chris vows.
"X&Y":The dreamy,
synth-heavy song features the chorus, "You and me are
floating on a tidal wave together/You and me are drifting into
outer space." Beatles-style strings suddenly appear towards
the end, and the anthemic singalong "woo-hoo-hoo" outro
is set to become the sound of the summer festivals.
"The Hardest Part":A
classic Coldplay love song about loss and heartbreak, in which
Chris sings, "The hardest part was letting go, not taking
part."
