{"product_id":"parachutes","title":"PARACHUTES","description":"Amazon.com\n\nMusic doesn't come more touching than this. With their debut single alone, the emotion-fortified \"Shiver,\" Coldplay prove they can shift between elated and crushed in a breath, as singer Chris Martin pours out music's oldest chestnut (unconditional yet unrequited love) with the shakiest of voices and a backdrop of epic guitars. For 10 tracks on Parachutes, he adds newfound meaning to the most tired and overused rock sentiments--love found, love lost, love unrequited--over acoustic guitars and emotionally fraught rock. And for once, all the clichés ring true because Chris Martin genuinely sounds like a man picking over the bones of his life, coming up with just as many reasons to be cheerful as seriously depressed. Not that Parachutes is a depressing album--there's too much conviction to the guitars and hope in Martin's words for that. Instead it's a beautifully tender balance that comes as close to perfection as anything that's come before it. --Dan Gennoe\n\nProduct Description\n\nBritpop at it's finest - already a smashing success in the UK. Tracks include \"Yellow,\" \"Shiver,\" \"Spies,\" \"Don't Panic,\" \"We Never Change,\" \"High Speed,\" \"Everything's Not Lost\" and more.\n\nReview\n\nColdplay make straight-ahead, melodic Brit pop that strives for significance with a capital s, even as it has a hard time shaking its influences -- you can also hear the ethereal guitar chime of U2, a bit of Dave Matthews' breathy folk implosion, even a misting of Roger Waters-era Pink Floyd. -- Rolling Stone\n\nShimmering guitars haunt tormented tunes, dark gravel growls vie with Thom Yorke-y high notes. Unquestionably, Coldplay could not have existed without an awe-stricken respect for Radiohead's The Bends, but they are also capable of escaping its shadow... [12\/2000, p.94] -- Alternative Press\n\nShowcasing the group's boundless warmth and flair for moodily dramatic pop craftsmanship--and, after no fewer than five EPs, proving its ability to sustain a mood over the course of a full-length album--the disc is likable from wire to wire, deviating from that consistency only to hit transcendent peaks with \"Spies\" and the perfect single \"Yellow.\" --The Onion (A.V. Club)\n\nTheir debut album's secret arsenal comprises frontman Chris Martin's voice - prematurely aged for someone in their early twenties - and some supple, persuasive melodies. That and a great big side order of melancholy. --Q Magazine\n\nThere's a magical sound potion that can cure lovesickness, and it's called Parachutes, the first full-length CD by Coldplay.... Every song sounds like a hit. --LA Weekly\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000508U6\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGLF00854T_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Coldplay\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
