This Album is Coldplay's first Studio album. After releasing Various EP's this is the Album that made them hit the big time.
Don't Panic
A nice little start to the Album, infact it's proberly one of the Stand-Out tracks. It starts with a nice bit of mellow Guitar followed by a 'regimented' Drum Beat, The Bass then kicks to give the song some more depth. The song then slows down to leave a nice little Piano Solo, after this the song dies down a bit. Overall a Great start. 4.5/5
Shiver
This is Stand-out track No.2, This is one of my fav's on the album. The song kicks in with a very 'rocky' feel but then settles down into the more mellow Coldplay we know. The song is Driven By a fast Drum Beat and a Driving Bass line the Guitar also plays a nice little riff which sticks in your head for ages. 5/5
Spies
This Song starts with a very 'Spooky' bit of slide Guitar which then leads into a just Acoutic Guitar and Chris' Vocals. The song really kicks in in the Chorus where we hear some some more of the cool slide Guitar and the nice melodic Bass line. The song then slows to leave a nice ending. 4/5
Sparks
This is another nice little song. Again starts with Acoustic Guitar and Vocals but then in comes a with a very melodic Bass line the Drums are also in the background that give the song some depth. This song isn't one that really stands out to me but it's still a nice little 'chill out' tune. 3.5/5
Yellow
Stand out track No.3, This is my favourite on the Album. This is also the song that made Coldplay 'Big' in the UK. Starts off with Guitar and then the rest of the band come in again this is another one of their 'Rockier' songs. The song then mellows out with just the Bass and Drums but when the Chorus starts again it more of the same. Overall it's one of their best songs 5/5
Trouble
Stand out track No.4. This is another of Coldplays Piano anthems. Again it starts with a nice Piano line but this time theres some nice Bass played in the background. The song carrys on with Bass/Piano/Drums/Vocals but later on an Acoustic Guitar is added this gives the song a nice feeling. 5/5
Parachutes
This a very short song played by Chris. It's just him and an Acoustic Guitar. 3.5/5
High Speed
Another Typical Coldplay song, There's a nice use of all Instruments but to me it doesn't stand out. 3/5
We Never Change
Another Acoustic start but really starts when theres the Electric Guitar in the background, The Drums also add some depth the Bass isn't as prominent as it is in other songs on this album. 3/5
Everything's Not Lost
This Song is yet another Piano anthem and it doesn't let them album down. It's more of a Uplifting song and is a Big Sing along. Theres alot of dropping in and dropping out of instruments and the Bass line again is very melodic. 5/5
This is one of my favourite albums so I highly recomend it to anyone.
:D :D :D :D :) 4.5/5
