The stunning first single of "Parachutes",
By
This review is from: Shiver / For You / Careful Where You Stand (Audio CD)
Following a couple of early singles in 1999 ("Brothers and Sisters", "The Blue Room EP"), Coldplay issued this first single off of their debut album "Parachutes" in March 2000. The single contains 3 tracks and runs just over 15 min."Shiver" is a wonderful mix of the band's harder and softer work in one song. The song opens with a great guitar riff, then giving way to Chris Martin's voice, then smartly intertwining vocals and guitars, with fine backing from drums and bass. Wow! "For You" finds Chris at the panio, with the band eventually joining in gently. The vocals are hauting on this track (witness Chris whispering "For You" in the fade-out...) "Careful Where You Stand" starts of with accoustic guitar only, with additional but sparse intrumentation later on. What makes Coldplay so good is the mix of fine melodies with smart but touching lyrics ("I am cured when I'm by your side"). This song demonstrates that so well. In the tradition of Oasis and Travis, Coldplay issues singles that do more than rehash the lead track a couple of times. The quality of the "B side" songs are amazing. Both "For You" and "Careful" are not found on "Parachutes", so the bottom line is clear: buy this!

My all time favourite Coldplay song "For You",
By A Music Lover (the seaside) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shiver / For You / Careful Where You Stand (Audio CD)
if you love the softer side of Parachutes, then invest the cash in this ep for the 2 b-sides."For You" is their masterpiece. Right up there with "Spies" and "Trouble". Sparsely driven by piano and as haunting as they get. "Careful Where you Stand" is nearly as beautiful and mellow, this time acoustic guitar based.

Truly Angelic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shiver / For You / Careful Where You Stand (Audio CD)
An excellent single, what with Chris Martin's cherubic voice and the band's bright, exuberant sound. (Perfect for pining Jeff Buckley fans.) Coldplay is one of the best new bands to come out of the UK in the last couple of years, and this is a perfect introduction to them.
