Fan Comments:
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.
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 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.
