Coldplay has gained popularity immensely throughout the years with three World Music Awards, four Billboard Music awards and seven Grammy (out of the many nominees). They have sold over 80 million records world wide.
Coldplay's début album, "Parachutes" released in 2000, is one of my favorite albums of theirs. This album contains more actual instruments unlike their newer albums. I feel that the best song of this album would have to be "Trouble," because of the great duo of the piano and drums. Another I song I would highly suggest checking out would be "Everything's Not Lost." I feel that through out this album, most of the songs contain the same feel of happy coffee shop music.
"A Rush of Blood to the Head," was Coldplay's second album. This album was very successful with having over 15,000,000 copies sold worldwide. Overall, I think this is a pretty good album because it still has almost the same feel as the first album but with a little bit more electronic work to empathize the instruments. I think this worked for them. In their song "Clocks," (great song you have probably heard,) has great piano and guitar that can be soft and loud at the same time. The piano rhythm causes you to nod your head or tap your foot; this is why I think the song is so popular, because its almost interactive. I think this has to be mine absolute favorite album of theirs yet because of how they were able to shine the light on a different instrument(s) each song. Cold palsy's song "In my Place," has great drum beats that set up perfectly for the guitar. Their song "The Scientist," mainly uses piano and it makes it dramatic in a good way. I would recommend checking out this album.
"Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends," was Coldplay's third album. This album contained "Viva la Vida," (you may have heard it on the radio,) which was the band's first Billboard Hot 100. My Favorite song on this album would have to be "Cemeteries in London." I like this song because it is a little different lyrically and I think the drumbeat and the guitar were catchy. I would check out this album because it has a little to offer everyone.
"Milo Xyloto," was Coldplay's fourth album. This album contained the single, " Paradise." I personally am not a huge fan of this song. I really like the background music but I felt that the lyrics were a little too repetitive. I do really like their song, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall." I like the mix of acoustic guitar and electric guitar in this song. They were able to fit a lot in this song without it sounding over done.
"Ghost Stories" was Coldplay's most recent album I think that this album has a little too much electronics for me but they don't make it like overpowering, its actually almost peaceful, but still not my cup of tea.
If you like Coldplay, I would encourage you to check out The Script.
