THE REVIEW
If only more CDs like this came out more often... Ten poems (+ hidden track) each more beautiful than the last that present us with a new benchmark group on the world music scene. This CD was supposed to be for a few English kids, produced on a low budget, yet it became number 1 worldwide. A well-deserved success...
From rock ballads like Yellow, Shiver, and High Speed, to nostalgic songs like Don't Panic, Spies, and Parachutes. However, sentimentality never takes a holiday, without ever slipping into banality, with tracks like Sparks, Trouble, and We Never Change; the album moves towards closure with Everything's Not Lost, which almost seems like a "Sister Act" gospel, only to conclude with a splendid hidden track.
Will Coldplay be the heirs to Radiohead? In my opinion, no, because they are too different, but that doesn't mean they aren't among the best bands on the British scene. I recommend listening to the CD before going to sleep; it resonates best during those moments. With this CD, have they already reached their peak? Will they decline? I'll give you the answer already: NO.

The cold is the element most felt when listening to this CD: the emotion, the chills that make your skin crawl.
"Yellow"...a song to take, keep hidden to discover it in the moonlight while making a love declaration.

Despite everything, it is a beautiful album.
Coldplay adopt the compositional formula of early Radiohead... but produce an album that is enjoyable and very listenable.

"Yellow," a beautiful song ... a showpiece that at every concert manages to thrill all fans.
Despite showing some influence from Radiohead, this CD is certainly one of the best albums that England has produced since the time of (What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis.
By MBratti
'Yellow' is definitely the best track on the album and was rightly chosen as the second single.
'Everything's Not Lost' is simply a gem to treasure: a worthy conclusion to this album.

Coldplay will release other albums and other videos, the latter thankfully less obscene, with time they will become something else.
It’s beautiful, an intimate and calm jewel, like only the nineties could give us.
