Respect and objectiveness are essential in every review or comment we make, wheather we're talking about music or about our own lives. In a few words, and not being exactly crazy about Coldplay and having a truly wide music range within my preferences, I feel Coldplay are one of the new young bands that have given optimism and simplicity, melody and beauty back to pop music. And we're talking about no genius here but simply about the will to stop crying about todays depressed world and maybe about our own depression, worries or fears, but to sing about the good things in life - things about which many of us forget every day. YELLOW has childish and, to some, even meaningless words, it's true, but we can otherwise interpret the song as a simple call to realize the stars in heaven can suddenly become the icon of hope and optimism - then we say life is worth after all. If that's a crime - as some of you suggest - I do not agree. Chris Martin may not be the best of voices to emerge in british pop lately but is certainly a talented song-writer being honest and simple as he is. We are in front of four young guys playing and singing to the brighter side of life and even the bright side of not so good events in out lives.
PARACHUTES is a simple collection of thoughts and sounds that take as back to an essential truth - you don't always have to suffer with music. Everything is not lost, Don't panic - statements like these seem very important to me in days like these, particularly if we care about the rest. Some or many of the Amazon customers may not and do not have to agree - but, to me, Coldplay are a talented cuartet that will probably be remembered for their honesty and their will to share their love and amuzement.
I recommend YELLOW and the whole PARACHUTES album to anyone into direct and melodic pop and am very glad to hear their 2nd album is being recorded.

I can never say enough good things about Coldplay. They are fantastic and getting better and stronger even more now. The single cd of "Yellow" contain one of their biggest hits, as well as two other tracks, "Help Is Round The Corner" and "No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground" which are b-sides of the single, are just testament to their greatness today! Don't hesitate to get this!

This CD rocks! The song 'Yellow' really grew on me! It's awesome! Buy one + share it with your friends or give it as a gift. You will not be disappointed! Rock on!~ :)

These guys have done it again! I love Yellow! It's such a beautiful song. They've got a sound that isn't just noise, and their lyrics are meaningful in a sort of abstract way. I hope they get the coverage they deserve here in the states.

This song is a very good song. It is very mellow and every time I hear it, I always have to stop whatever it is I am doing and listen to it. In the song, I get the idea that the guy singing it has alot of admiration for whoever it is he is singing about.

There's not much spectacular about "No More Keeping My Feet." I like all of Coldplay's stuff, so this is probably the only song I don't enjoy. "Help Around the Corner" is a nice acoustic piece which brings the single's rating up to 3 stars.

This Cd includes songs from Coldplay's first demo cd and is a great investment for any real fan.

the case was broken but the cd was fine I guess thats the importent part

Coldplay is one of the best groups extant and these secondary CDs are all entirely worth investing in. The songs on this one are truly delightful. I enjoy it very, very much. Viva la Coldplay!

The cd arrived in time and in good conditions. Very good purchase for the coldplay fans. Thank you.
