A few songs only seem mediocre in comparison to mind-blowing songs, but as entities they are also wonderful.

Once you fall for "Yellow," the rest of the album will kick in, and fast.

Is a delightful introduction and also quickly indicates the reason why this album earned Coldplay a Mercury Music Prize nomination in fall 2000.

Have released the monster debut of the year and fully belong in the company of bands as brilliant as Radiohead.

Parachutes is dreamy, regretful pop with melodies that dog you like a missed opportunity.

Coldplay are the antithesis of this - the fall-out from Oasis' plunge.

The music is alive. Each song is up for interpretation, which gives this album an “I’m here for you” tone.

Several songs find the singer truly sorry for mistakes that have hurt others.

'Parachutes,' sticks to a slow pseudo-jazz/rock style, that is hypnotic and mesmerizing.
