In the end AROBTTH fulfils the promise of genius evidenced on Parachutes and is likely to be most people's album of the year.But now different styles are approached, as the band develop even further beyond their debut album (and the numerous Radiohead comparisons that dogged them at first).

Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).Recording started after the band became popular worldwide with the release of their debut album Parachutes (2000), and one of its singles in particular, 'Yellow'. Although it was very good I did feel that it was slightly overrated and not a true classic and was more a pre-cursor for future great works like this album. The opening track and several others could have quite easily fitted onto that album with their varying guitar textures and Chris Martin's yearning voice. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the careful production and mixing that optimize the analog medium.

The sound is rich and full, highlighting the subtle nuances of the instrumentation and the emotional depth of Chris Martin’s vocals. In my humble opinion, it is Coldplay's Magnum Opus and I believe it will remain so until their very last album. With their Radiohead, Verve and Jeff Buckley influences, Coldplay continue along the same lines as their previous work, although this album is more energetic and less melancholy.

Released on 26 August 2002 in the UK through the label Parlophone, the album was produced by the band and producer Ken Nelson.A Rush Of Blood To The Head deserves a place in any music lover's collection and it is certain to stand the test of time. The Verve and Richard Ashcroft are another influence on the album with the strings used on many of the tracks used to provide another dimension to each song. This is pretty much the apotheosis of post-Radiohead guitar-rock, a collection of vastly moving songs that will render stadiums as intimate as bedrooms. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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.
