I have to admit that after listening to the original version of Parachute's "Losing Sleep" several times, the majority of songs were kind of just THERE...some decent pop background tracks to steal the silence away from doing chores at home or at work...but nothing to take too seriously.
One song did stand out from the rest for me, "The Mess I Made", and I figured that maybe some day I could download just that one. It was really the only song that sounded like it came from the heart and its melody was one that moved me. I liked the title/song topic. And while I don't quite get the connection that some people say this album has concerning another band I really like, The Fray, I do think comparisons to Maroon 5 are justified.
Its difficult to rate an album that doesn't have any certain flow to it...the songs bounce back and forth between various styles of pop and pop/rock, but I do think it's a bit unfair to label all the music as generic. If I remember correctly, I once heard an interview with these guys in which they explained that "She Is Love" wasn't originally intended to be on this album...it was written longer ago and played at some of their shows...but outside influence not only got it on the album, but made it the first single. This simple song is anything but generic (the acoustic version), and while not one that I'm necessarily in love with, it's a song that's not manufactured-sounding in any way.
The bonus tracks on the deluxe version really did end up being the catalyst to my purchase, because these three extra songs not only prove that there's some real music coming from Parachute, but IMO they are better than the rest of the songs combined. "Be Here" brings passion, beautiful melody, and an arrangement that builds in intensity from its solo piano/vocal beginning. "Losing Sleep" is centered around an electric piano, and its simplicity, a little something extra in Will's vocal performance and an exciting chorus make this another winner for me. Finally, the acoustic version of "All That I Am" has a looser vibe than the first version, and the combination of piano and acoustic guitar works perfectly. I wouldn't give up on this album without hearing these bonus tracks...they might just be what turns this from an average pop record into something you'll want for your permanent music collection.

The first time I heard a Parachute song was during a Nivea commercial. Needless to say, the song in that commercial is what ultimately turned me on to them. With a mixture of sweet vocals and radio-ready pop rock, this band is quite good. If you'd like a mixture of Maroon 5, Hanson, Rob Thomas, and a dash of Augustana then this band if for you. If not, give it a try anyway because reading a review on an artist is completely different from actually listening to them and coming up with your own impressions on them.

Parachute is an amazing band! A lot like Maroon 5 so if you like them you've got to check them out! The single She Is Love is just the start of a great record. I got the next singe, Under Control when it was the featured single on iTunes and love it! The three bonus tracks are great. Hearing his voice acoustic is the best.

Decent Effort. But Kinda Forgettable.
Parachutes are a pure pop band. Let's just establish that right away. Soaring melodies, pop hooks, crooning lyrics, and made for radio gems about on this record. Read more

Good Sounding Band But Forgettable
This CD sounds very fresh with good singer and a good beat but it's sort of generic. From what I can hear they have nothing more to offer than all of the rest of the other bands... Read more

Pleasant Pop Surprise
When I got this CD, I'd never heard of the band, and had only heard a couple 30-second previews of the songs. Read more
