A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Product Information

A Rush Of Blood To The Head' is Coldplay's second album and the follow up to their 2000 debut 'Parachutes'. Hits like “Clocks” and “The Scientist” showcase the band at its peak and demonstrate its talent for creating emotional, compelling music. A Rush Of Blood From The Head is no exception, in fact, it is my favourite album of the past decade. In this edition, the atmosphere of the album is wonderfully captured, providing the listener with the feeling of being part of a more intimate musical experience. The troubled, brooding title track draws heavily on The Bends' as its influence and marks the emotional peak of the album.

The sound is rich and full, highlighting the subtle nuances of the instrumentation and the emotional depth of Chris Martin’s vocals. The vinyl version of the album adds an additional layer of authenticity and warmth to the already impressive music.

Despite the fact that the band dismissed Green Eyes as a B-side, I personally find it to be quite charming and not an embarassing love song. The vinyl itself sounds and feels great, the album is on a single disk but it's far better that way - The first side especially is just golden to listen to.Throughout the album the listener also notices that Coldplay's influences are now even more wider and comprehensive. Whether you're a Coldplay fan or not, this album is sure to leave you yearning for more- from its thought provoking lyrics to its incredible soundscape throughout- almost like a musical arc that runs through the album. It seems to be a fan favourite too, but I simply can't deny the plethora of emotions compacted in to its heart, not to mention the hypnotizing piano riff from the opening second of the song.

The first thing that the listener notices as the first crunchy, guitar notes of Politik pour from the speakers is that there a sense of purpose and that the band are determined to better the naive genius of their debut Parachutes I use that oxymoron "naive genius" as I feel that it is a good description of Parachutes. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.The immediate thing that the listener notices is that the production is improved and much more refined - the organic, rawness of Parachutes remains but this is also met with a smoothness and crispness of sound and subtle atmospherics in the background on some of the tracks. Warning Sign, in particular, is the closest relative to The Verve and Richard Ashcroft that you will hear with Chris Martin's strong voice and his refrain "the state we're in. by appointment browsing is available if you are unable to get in for our standard opening hours, please contact using the form above.
