Description:
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

Cons:

It's been overplayed, and overhyped

Alright, first off, the last thing the world needs is another person saying how great this album is. It's a quality album, and depending on what you enjoy, this may or may not be an excellent album.
Coldplay has often been compared to radiohead, which is unfair to both, and when you hear this album, it's clear that they are entirely different. Picture 'radiohead lite.' This album has a lot of good songs, but is missing anything that wakes you up, and honestly, the lyrics are pretty amateur.
Having said that, it is great to have on in the background, and I would recommend it.
