Coldplay required a lifetime to make their wonderfully assured debut,Parachutes. But it tookless than two years for the moody British quartet to deliver a masterful follow-up. As a band, Coldplay have advanced to a stage where they outshine nearly every oneof their rivals in terms of imagination and emotional pull. A Rush of Bloodto the Head is a soulful, exhilarating journey, moving from the catharticrock of "Politik" to the hushed tones of "Green Eyes" without once breaking itsmesmerizing spell. Singer Chris Martin takes his voice on soaring flights,reaching places only JeffBuckley previously dared to go. And the music is nearly flawless, apersuasive cross between PinkFloyd and the Verve.Even if they haven't come up with another "Yellow," you would be hard-pressed tocare. This is exquisite stuff. --Aidin Vaziri

The often reviled mega-seller's sophomore release upped the volume and proved to bitter critics and music snobs alike how intuitive touch and expansive production elevates simplistic songwriting to earnest levels.

- A Rush of Blood to the Head.
One of my favorites songs is Clocks and that's the only song that I'm really crazy about the most. Cold Play knows how to really putout other great songs besides Clocks.
Rating: - Things Unsaid
It may not transcend Parachutes, but this is a very decent sophomore effort.Sure it's mopey; sure it's resigned.That's the whole point.The question then becomes, how well does it achieve its goal to mope you out?Well, as it turns out it's pretty damn effective in that department.
Most of the songs are mid-tempo, with lots of dynamic shifts and volume-tweaking.Coldplay have been criticized as being Radiohead Lite (for one thing) but that isn't really true.Coldplay is a lot ... Read More

- Singer ain't that good
I was given this album as a gift three years ago and while it was new to me I immediately noticed that the lead vocalist had no idea of how to break away from singing very "clunkily" in syllables...to every song!!!
I haven't read all the reviews to this album (would take days) but wonder if he annoys anyone else as much as he annoys me?
Rating: - Phenomenal
The Coldplay album to get if you're only going to get one, but all of them are good.
this isn't as mellow or low-key as Parachutes. amazing orchestration, sweeping melodies. i admit this isn't for everyone.. some may find it depressing but i think the songs aren't straight depressing- they're more bittersweet, melancholy, hopeful. simple lyrics everybody can relate to.
i still play this cd all the way through sometimes and i've had it for years.
