Parachutes

I'm new to Coldplay, but their older tunes are as great as the new ones.

great cd arrived in a few days, box was cracked but i know that happended during shipping, thanks.

Once I listened to the Viva La Vida CD, I went back and purchased all of Coldplay's previous albums. This is one truly awesome!

For someone who says he's going to be bigger then U2 this album is by far has one of the worst songs ever written. That belongs to the song Yellow. Not only is it a pointless song it's one of the worst songs in history. One reason it was because it was so overplayed.
The other reason is because Chris Martin sounds like a prepubescent little girl whining at mom for not buying her those thong panties at Victoria Secrets. Not only that he fails miserably at his attempt to be better then U2. In fact most of his other albums sound the same with that whininess. The only good song that Coldplay has come out with is Clocks. Every other song is horrible. The only reason why he even is able to sell a cd is because some women think he's hot. They don't listen to him on his musical ability.

Chris Martin is more of the Jonas Brothrs. At least the Jonas Brothers have a chance to have their voice change when they hit puberty, Chris Martin hit puberty and still sounds like a prepubescent little boy. I'm sorry what is the world coming too with such worthless songs as Yellow!

Seriously, stop already with the Radiohead comparisons. This sounds nothing like Radiohead, not Pablo Honey, not The Bends, not ANYTHING EVER by Radiohead. Just because Coldplay's singer tries to sing in a high register like Thom Yorke sings, doesn't necessarily mean the two bands sound alike. Coldplay, for instance, sucks big ones. Radiohead is sort of a brilliant band. There's one difference right there, just for starters.
But whatever, you're not a loser or anything if you like this garbage. Lots of people like garbage even worse than this! So there, feel good knowing that you're not utterly, totally, hopelessly devoid of taste (maybe).
