Editorial Reviews

Review

An immensely appealing tribute to one of the most exciting new rock groups to come around in decades, Coldplay!

Features provocative covers of Coldplay s most beloved tracks including Yellow, Trouble, Don t Panic and the title track from the group s sophomore effort Rush Of Blood To The Head as well as many more!

Coldplay have revived the Britpop genre inspired by bands such as Oasis and Blur, sparking a new wave of Britain-mania!

Perfect for fans of Travis, Starsailor and Oasis!

Why a tribute to Coldplay? Why the hell not? Sure they may be in the waxing phase of their promising, young career, but these exuberant lads have revitalized a depressed Brit Pop scene that had been languishing since the luster wore off such forerunners as Oasis, Blur, Pulp & the Verve (R.I.P.). In the wake of the aforementioned giants, a new wave of Buckley-esque, post-dreampopers was gaining force led by Travis, Doves, Starsailor & 4 University College of London mates calling themselves Coldplay. Indeed, for proof of how influential the mighty Coldplay are, just check any "musicians wanted in the style of..." ad in your local rock rag to witness how many aspiring songwriters are following in the glow sparked by Chris Martin & co. On the strength of 5 EPs, 2 full length CDs, world tours, & the rare, unanimous adoration of press, radio, TV and retail, a handful of zealous bands, singer/songwriters & friends have helped put together this unique tribute while the buzz is still fresh - rather than some eventual, post-mortem, "gee they were great" after thought. Enjoy. --Cleopatra Records

1.0 out of 5 stars ::sigh::, March 24, 2003
By 
This review is from: Tribute to Coldplay (Audio CD)
This is one terrible album. Coldplay is a great band and so I expected this to at least be a decent compilation. However, the artists on this CD offer absolutely nothing. They do nothing but sing the songs as they hear them, rather than offer their own style. Therefore you really have no choice but to directly compare it to how Chris Martin sings, and it just makes it sound mediocre. Also it's too early for a Coldplay tribute album; they're still growing as a band and really don't have that many songs to remake. Maybe if in the future the artists can choose from songs that actually suit them, the album would be a better buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars This album is unnecessary, March 7, 2003

This review is from: Tribute to Coldplay (Audio CD)
I'm a huge Coldplay fan and love their music. I was hopeful when I saw this compilation, thinking other artists might be able to contribute unique interpretations of these wonderful songs. What I found was purely imitative and unoriginal.

Again, the source music is great. This is really good music. If you can't get enough of Coldplay, you may be interested in having this disc purely for your collection. Otherwise, your time and money are probably better spent listening to the originals.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm embarassed, March 20, 2003
This review is from: Tribute to Coldplay (Audio CD)
This compilation is an embarassment to the artists who compiled it with such banal unoriginality.
