| A great place to start understanding the group
This album, the debut of British Alt. Rock band Coldplay, is an acoustic masterpiece. Instead of drowning the songs with over-excessive electric guitars, acoustics are used in their place. The results are staggering, and they capture your attention. Sometimes, though, the songs get lost in their production, so some numbers blend together in the mind of the listener, but one does feel impressed by the group's musicality. The hit single, "Yellow", is the least effective of these numbers and will eventually be forgotten in favor of the rest of the album. This is the kind of album to play while you work on your schoolwork, or when you are in a similar stationary position. You can get lost in where the music takes you, but in an attractive way, a way that doesn't alienate you but still remains distinct and dramatic. Chris Martin's voice is very distinct, fitting the music and lyrics like a glove, probably inspiring Maroon 5's style of vocals. The only thing keeping this album from becoming one of the greatest albums period is that it stays soft when it could rock out. In favor of keeping the listener rapt in wandering attention, there are no dramatic shifts of style to different places. You end up in only one place instead of really going on one heck of a journey. But don't let that keep you from buying this album. If you love listening to music while working, this album will definitely be put on your list somewhere.

| A nice collection of smart songs
Real different from the later ones, this is more mellow and subdued musically, like the famous song Yellow. Don't Panic is one of my favorite Coldplay songs, it's short and bittersweet paranoid song about a possible coming holocaust, so cling to the ones you love, for 'all of us are done for'. Spies was banned in China because it's a fascinating little tune about being surrounded by surveillience, but don't worry too much 'because they're only spies'. And just if you think it's all a downer, the soothing melodies and bright musicianship will keep reminding you that Everything's Not Lost, and you can sing these songs all day to soothe your worried soul.

| Simply amazing.
This CD is beyond perfect. Not a bad song on the whole thing. A rainy day in the background will set the mood and every song is wonderful. I love each song on here, and there's a special place in my heart for Parachutes.

| don't panic! everything's not lost
indeed, everything is lost, this album is enough to revive modern from what could have been the duldrums. a sensational debut album with an excellent array of excellent, well written, thoughtful songs. the best of these are "yellow", "trouble", "shiver", "everything's not lost" and "don't panic", although they are all excellent (with a tiny exception of the title track which is too short). highly recommended, great band, great album BUY THIS!!!
