Music doesn't come more touching than this. With their debut single alone, the emotion-fortified "Shiver," Coldplay prove they can shift between elated and crushed in a breath, as singer Chris Martin pours out music's oldest chestnut (unconditional yet unrequited love) with the shakiest of voices and a backdrop of epic guitars. For 10 tracks on Parachutes, he adds newfound meaning to the most tired and overused rock sentiments--love found, love lost, love unrequited--over acoustic guitars and emotionally fraught rock. And for once, all the cliches ring true because Chris Martin genuinely sounds like a man picking over the bones of his life, coming up with just as many reasons to be cheerful as seriously depressed. Not that Parachutes is a depressing album--there's too much conviction to the guitars and hope in Martin's words for that. Instead it's a beautifully tender balance that comes as close to perfection as anything that's come before it. --Dan Gennoe

 Parachutes June 15, 2009

I was very disappointed with the purchase. The seller described the product to be in "like new condition". I anticipated receiving the disc in the original packaging (along with the cover)as though it were purchased brand new from a store. The disc itself was in fine condition. However, it came in a clear plastic case. I don't think the cd should have been advertised as being in "like new condition." The music by Coldplay is great and the disc is definitely worth purchasing, particularly if you like all of their other cd's but don't own this one.
 Coldplay's Best Album June 12, 2009
Simply fantastic! Coldplay has scored with all of their albums, but this is far and away their best. I think what sets it apart is it's careful attention to vulnerable melody... it literally gives me goosebumps (listen to "We Never Change" and reintroduce yourself to a Coldplay that undersings, underplays and sounds flat amazing.) Other Coldplay albums are also well worth picking up! Perhaps in this order:
Parachutes
X&Y
Rush of Blood to the Head
Viva La Vida/Propekt's March EP
great album! May 31, 2009
A great album with hit songs and includes my personal favorites: sparks, yellow, and trouble. Coldplay albums never seem to disappoint!
loveit! March 12, 2009
What can I say. I love Coldplay and they can do no wrong. I love 99% of all the songs on their albums including this one. Just wishing to see them in concert wasn't so expensive. Jeez!
Best Coldplay CD March 11, 2009
I have 3 of Coldplay's CD's and I must say "Parachutes" definitely beats the other two hands down. Favorite tracks include "Don't Panic", "Shiver", and "Trouble.
