Free Music Notes for A Rush of Blood to the Head
Free Music Review: Get Out of This Hole
Hit: 2 Stars
Friends had repeatedly told me that I would like Coldplay. So I picked up this and "Parachutes" at a budget price. I've played each a few times now, but have failed to connect with the band. I like music that makes me feel something, connects with my emotions. For example, "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face" just seems to drone on with the pounding piano, but it doesn't make me feel much. Perhaps I don't connect with the lead singer. I like the style of the music. "The Scientist" is supposed to be one of their best songs, but the vocals seem sterile to me. I feel nothing when the singer croons, "Nobody said it was easy; it's such a shame for us to part." It should be a heartbreak, but it's merely pleasant. "Clocks" is a bright spot, an interesting track, "I am a part of your disease." "Daylight" sounds a bit like the Beatles' "Within You, Without You" from "Sgt. Peppers" mixed with the Beach Boys, but seems repetitive as all the lyricist can come up with is "slowly breaking through the daylight" that gets sung about 25 times in repetition. I suppose it's supposed to be profound more than redundant. You can listen to a few bars of "Whisper" and turn the track off, because they're just going to do the same thing over & over. "Amsterdam" is a wonderful place. I like the song Janis Ian wrote about it better than this one. The singer croons on the sad track, "I swear I waited and waited to get out of this hole." Unfortunately, he doesn't. Solve Sundsbo's cover artwork is very nice. Perhaps.

Coldplay required a lifetime to make their wonderfully assured debut, Parachutes. But it took less 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 one of their rivals in terms of imagination and emotional pull. A Rush of Blood to the Head is a soulful, exhilarating journey, moving from the cathartic rock of "Politik" to the hushed tones of "Green Eyes" without once breaking its mesmerizing spell. Singer Chris Martin takes his voice on soaring flights, reaching places only Jeff Buckley previously dared to go. And the music is nearly flawless, a persuasive cross between Pink Floyd and the Verve. Even if they haven't come up with another "Yellow," you would be hard-pressed to care. This is exquisite stuff. --Aidin Vaziri
