I was so surprised when I saw this CD, I had to get it. It was very pleasant to listen to and I am sure my baby will enjoy it as much as I did.

My son, Ghabe, goes to sleep in minutes after hearing the soothing notes of the first few songs. After his - ah, I doanwanna go nightnight - he takes off his clothes, puts them on his chair, goes pp, we read a story or two, gets tucked in. Then I put this in his computer CD drive and he's off to sleep. He used to jump around after the story and get me to fussing, not anymore. Thanks. You made this single Dad's life a bit easier.

We started playing music in our infant's nursery after our first visit to his daycare, where we noticed them playing music in the crib room to provide white noise for the sleeping babies. The idea of a lullaby-ized version of music we already enjoy listening to appealed to us, so we started out with this CD along with a couple of other titles. We've enjoyed the series so much that we're now up to ~15 of these, if for no other reason than to provide US with some variety as we rock our child before putting him down for the night. By removing the words and playing the songs at a more or less constant volume, they provide a soothing bedtime experience without the sudden changes in volume and tempo that might otherwise startle or excite a child that you're trying to get (and then keep) asleep.

As a general rule, they've all been fairly enjoyable, but my wife and I both agree that the Coldplay CD is clearly a cut above the rest. Given that neither of us own or regularly listen to the real Coldplay albums, and that there are several CDs by some of my favorite artists in the Rockabye baby collection, this is saying quite a bit. For whatever reason, when nothing else will soothe our child, this particular album ALWAYS works. If you enjoy Coldplay, or want to give the rockabye baby series a try, this is definitely the one to start with!

I would also highly recommend the Rockabye Baby Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rolling Stones, More Beatles (the first one is not as good), and Beach Boys albums.

nice sounding disc, but even as a Coldplay fan I must ask... is this really THAT different than a Coldplay album. At least not more effective for its purpose.

I could see taking the Lullaby versions of Nine Inch Nails over one of the original albums, but this only seems to be missing some drums and vocals...

Our daughter is sleeping to good music and will no doubt have a good taste in the music she listens to later on ;-)

Love these discs. Baby music that you can stand listening to again and again. If you like the band you will like the music. The baby seems to enjoy it also. I highly recommend it.

Great to be able to listen to my favorite songs in a baby tune.
Thought they would have lyrics but neverthe less great baby version of the tunes!

I have just received the product...although it has arrived delayed, I can't blame the shop, maybe it was the mail service...
Anyway, the product is really nice, really calm songs of my favorite band, I simply can't complain. A+!

Have a little one at home? Love Cold Play? Then this is for you. Soothing for baby and really enjoyable for you. It's a wonderful twist on classic Cold Play anthems that the whole family can enjoy together.

The product came just as described. Still wrapped in original packaging and shipped quickly. Gave as a gift with rave reviews!
