first song i heard was "yellow" and always cheered me up on the radio. i bought parachuetes and really really dug them. about as much as radiohead. spies is a fav of mine. everythings not lost was my least fav.the second album i didnt like too much. ive only listened to the whole thing twice but some songs are good, like clocks,politik and a few more.this album is good. about the same as parachuetes. yes, its more pop but id rather get good pop from coldplay than bad pop from jennifer lopes. i can listen to the Whole album without turning it off.id give it 4n a half starz but i cant so 5 will do.
