A Rush of Blood to the Head

Amazon.com
Coldplay required a lifetime to make their wonderfully assured debut, Parachutes. But it took less than two years for the moody British quartet to deliver a masterful follow-up. As a band, Coldplay have advanced to a stage where they outshine nearly every one of their rivals in terms of imagination and emotional pull. A Rush of Blood to the Head is a soulful, exhilarating journey, moving from the cathartic rock of "Politik" to the hushed tones of "Green Eyes" without once breaking its mesmerizing spell. Singer Chris Martin takes his voice on soaring flights, reaching places only Jeff Buckley previously dared to go. And the music is nearly flawless, a persuasive cross between Pink Floyd and the Verve. Even if they haven't come up with another "Yellow," you would be hard-pressed to care. This is exquisite stuff. --Aidin Vaziri

The genius of Coldplay.......2007-07-12

This review has been long overdue. But with 'Politik' playing in the background now, I have been kind of driven to write this. This album is Coldplay's best work so far and definitely in a different league compared to most other music in the same genre (rock). Even with the kind of following Coldplay has, I think they are quite underrated. For example, this album itself is ranked 473th on Rolling Stone's list of greatest albums. Are you kidding me?! I find that hard to believe. It's true that this music is not for all moods or for everyone. But it's musical creation at its finest with amazing melodies and brilliant lyrics. The songs are beautiful, melancholic, moody, introspective and profound. The beauty of Coldplay is that even the saddest song will end with a ray of hope (this is very unlike Radiohead with whom they are so frequently compared). My favorite tracks from this album are 'Politik', 'A Rush of Blood to the Head', 'The Scientist', 'Clocks', 'Green Eyes' and 'In My Place'. I mentioned about the lyrics earlier. I won't go too much into it (because it's hard to describe such stuff). I will just say that these are some of the most wonderful lyrics I have ever heard.

This is definitely a must-buy album. Twenty years from now, it will be considered as a landmark in the history of music.

ON the 10 BEST ALL TIME LIST.......2007-05-15

I have been listening to music since 1955. This is one of the best albums ever recorded.

A rush of life to the head.......2007-05-04

The Rush of blood to the head is propably one of my favourite albums in my stack of 900+ albums, I have to date.I have been a music lover from the age of 6,I'm now 39 closing in on 40.I have seen Coldplay live in Concert in Auckland,New Zealand back in 2003,they where fantastic.To me ,Warning Sign should have been number 1,maybe it's because of the Lyrics or the mere melody and strings in the backround that are so relavent to our lives I'm not sure,but it's a masterpiece the Commercial world has overlooked.A gem in it's own right,listen to it with open ears and enjoy.

A true appreciation for Chris Martin and his band.

Best CD ever.......2007-04-19

Not only is the music absolutely fabulous, but the lyrics are also amazing. I listen to this CD so much that my five year old daughter is singing along with the lyrics. Coldplay is fantastic, and this is their best CD (I own them all).

Good wallpaper music, but does not hold up to direct listening.......2007-04-05

They've got a great sound and the occasional evocative lyric, but as Coldplay's surface appeal wears off, time seems to be revealing there's not much depth here. The minimalism of their arrangements and, especially, writing can really be a snooze if you listen to Coldplay as anything more than background music.

Japanese Version featuring a Bonus Track

Customer Reviews:

Rush order it now!.......2002-12-01

Yeah, there is no bonus track. The Japanese on the packaging says that there are lyrics and translated lyrics, which are exclusive to this version of the cd. That's all.

Does not have the bonus track advertised.......2002-09-15

Great CD, though different from Parachutes - at once darker and less romantic. The Japanese liner notes and lyric sheet are interesting - if you read Japanese - though there seem to be a couple very minor mistakes in the transcription of the lyrics.

Unfortunately, the bonus track is not there. I haven't been able to get an answer as to why...

Album Description

Two hit albums packaged together and housed in a slipcase. This two CD set features the debut and sophomore albums from Coldplay. Each album garnered so much airplay on TV and radio that these albums could actually be retitled Greatest Hits Vol. One and Vol. Two! No other British band besides Radiohead has received the critical accolades and worldwide sales that Coldplay has. And this is where it all began... EMI. 2006.
