Listening to this for the first time since 2008. It really isn't bad. My biggest criticism: it's obvious when they're performing "the U2 song," "the Radiohead song," and even "the My Bloody Valentine song;" that is to say that Coldplay aren't too great at writing original material. But the material that's on this album, however unoriginal it is, actually sounds great.
Im fond of it to, I saw them in concert right when this album came out so it has a soft spot for me.
Lovers in Japan is my favorite track.

I'm a fan of "Yes." That's a legitimately awesome shoegaze breakdown in the second half.
which one is which? I onlu know "the mbv song"

"The U2 Song" is Lovers in Japan and "The Radiohead Song" is the first half of "Yes," which sounds like a HTTT B-Side

my fav was Lost, love the drums

They've always done this. On Parachutes yellow is mbv, spies is radiohead. All of X&Y is U2.
Genuinely a good album, just like a rush of blood to the head and half of mylo xyloto. Everything else is trash.

im different, i only like parachutes and viva la vida. grew tired of x&y very quickly and never got into rush of blood to begin with.
haven''t heard anything post-technnicolor 2
Produced one of the most original pop songs of the past decade, however.
Fucking love this album
