Coldplay
A Rush Of Blood To The Head

THE REVIEW

Coldplay put a smile upon your face!
This is what happens when you listen to Coldplay's new work.

You haven't even reached the middle of the album, and you find yourself with a big smile plastered right on your face. Smiles of joy, ecstasy, or relief from danger—you choose—but the fact remains that the Londoners deliver us one of the best albums of the year.

In 2000, an electrifying debut with an album of high emotional impact that immediately had people shouting a miracle. From that moment on, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. Despite "Parachutes" cruising along with critical and public enthusiasm, an unexpected identity crisis put the band to the test, risking that we would remember the four Londoners as one of the many meteors of the music scene.
For this reason, the cruel world of rock was ready at the turn, eager to see if this second effort would confirm their skill or if, conversely, the name "Coldplay" could be added to the list of "fast to reach the peak, just as fast to fall into oblivion."
But as we've already said, with the release of "A rush of blood to the head" only smiles.

"In My Place" is the single that, for impact and intensity, picks up the legacy left by "Yellow," while "The Scientist," like "Trouble," is tasked with returning Chris Martin's emotional voice and his piano to the role of striking you straight to the heart.

For the rest, the work emerges that, while maintaining the Coldplay trademark that so surprised us in "Parachutes," shows a stylistic evolution typical of great bands.
More mature lyrics, more carefully crafted melodies and arrangements, a blend of melancholy and emotions that, once again, will have a significant impact on the listener.
