it was me who had kasabian on my list. GREAT ALBUM. i also have been relistening to and really fucking enjoying coldplay's a rush of blood to the head recently  i'm so old and bland  Rush Of Blood To The Head is my guilty pleasure tbh. It's better than Parachutes. It has a few genuinely decent tracks on it. |

As Uncut magazine (the last word on guitar rock) said, in their 10 out of 10 review, "May well come to be regarded as the best British rock album since OK Computer."
And Rolling Stone Magazine, "With A Rush of Blood, Coldplay do more than fulfill the promise of "Yellow" -- they surpass everything they've done up to this point, making first-rate guitar rock with some real emotional protein on its
AllMusic
"A Rush of Blood to the Head might not instantly grab listeners, but it's not tailored that way. It pushes you to look beyond dreamy vocals for a musical inner core."
The A.V. Club
Dressed up in subtle strings and pianos, and given time to slowly breathe and develop beyond simple pop, A Rush Of Blood's 11 graceful tracks sparkle and swirl, occasionally escalating into a booming crescendo before dissolving back into delicacy."
Q Magazine
"A collection of vastly moving songs that will render stadiums as intimate as bedrooms. U2, Radiohead... Coldplay? It would seem so."
It was never cool to like them and it's never been less cool to like them, but that was a bloody decent album. They descended a long way from that point on though.

Are you seriously posting reviews from Q magazine to try to prove a point?

1, Nadine Shah – Holiday Destination I seem to be fairly alone in my appreciation of this album given its absence on so many of the end of year lists published so far but to me this was a fairly easy choice. After seeing her perform some of these songs live prior to the album's release I knew this would be a special album and it's unrivalled this year for me. It's the perfect combination of being musically interesting, lyrically powerful and catchy/danceable too. I'd enjoyed Shah's previous work but the addition of Pete Wareham and his saxophone to the band and the more political nature of Shah's lyrics have elevated things to a new level. She comes across so well in interviews and on social media too and tbh I think I've fallen in a love a little bit. What a fucking hero. Finally got round to listening to this and it's great! Gutted I didn't listen sooner. |
