From Amazon.co.uk
Music doesn't come more touching than this. With their debut single alone, the emotion-fortified "Shiver", Coldplay proved they could shift between elated and crushed in a breath as singer Chris Martin poured out music's oldest chestnut (unconditional yet unrequited love) with the shakiest of voices and a backdrop of epic guitars that rouse and tug at the heart strings. For 10 tracks on Parachutes, he comes out with these, adding new-found meaning to the most tired and overused rock sentiments--love found, love lost, love unrequited, hurting the ones you love and the struggle that is life--over acoustic guitars and emotionally fraught rock. And for once, all the cliches ring true, thanks to Chris Martin genuinely sounding like a man picking over the bones of his life and soul, coming up with equal parts reasons to be cheerful and seriously depressed. Not that Parachutes is a depressing album; there's too much conviction to the guitars and hope in Martin's words for that. Instead it's a beautifully tender balance that comes as close to perfection as anything that's come before it. --Dan Gennoe
Chronique amazon.fr
Une fois encore, avant meme de disposer d'une petite heure pour se faire sa propre opinion sur ce premier album, la farandole des etiquettes tourne autour de Coldplay. Radiohead, Travis, The Verve et Jeff Buckley sont ainsi convoques pour decrire la pop nonchalante de ces jeunes Londoniens a l'ascension fulgurante. Des influences certes souvent justifiees qui ne font pas pour autant de Parachutes un sous-produit, enieme ersatz de cette pop lancinante accoudee sur le zinc propret de melodies souvent entetantes et de textes habites par un wagon d'etats d'ame, blablabla. Au final, le plus etonnant est qu'autant de banalites reussissent a marquer autant de points dans notre inconscient. Bref, etonnant comme les choses simples peuvent etre aussi belles. --Marc Zisman

 Very good October 29, 2008

I already had X&Y when I bought this album so it was not as good but close. They got much better album after album. I have all four of there albums now and they are all awesome but my favorite is still X&Y.
A great beginning December 16, 2006

Not many bands can come up with such a strong debut album, but Coldplay managed it with ease. Full of good songs (3 or 4 outstanding songs), it contains many beautiful moments that leave deep and meaningful imprints.
Simple arrangements, gorgeous melodies, unselfish musicianship and good singing combine to produce superb songs such as 'Trouble', 'Yellow', 'Don't Panic', 'High Speed' and the very pretty 'Parachutes'. Easy listening it may be, but so are many of The Beatles best loved songs.
Coldplay will always have detractors because of their enormous (& well deserved) success, but it's plainly unreasonable after just a quick listen to this gem of an album.

They can play their instruments - about as inventively as 14 year olds, picking up a guitar for the first time. They do write their own songs - in that tired old vein of British pop, everything's the same. The singing is a joke - why do the sheep take that whole falsetto bull**** so seriously? If you buy this - you're over 20 and slowly your braincells are crumbling, soon you'll spend every Sunday shopping with your partner, drink half a bottle of wine a night, you'll tut at children with any hint of life, you'll begin to get indignant about manners, you'll find Terry Wogan funny ... and then you'll die, having only ever listened to mid-tempo soft rock.
GREAT ALBUM December 27, 2004

This CD is moody. If you want really uplifting music, this isn't the best album to pick up. The musical talent displayed in this CD is amazing. They have great guitarists, an amazing drummer, especially on the track Trouble, and great vocals and piano, both done by Martin. Great CD.
We live in a beautiful world July 18, 2004
This album is absolutely awesome and suitable for diehard Coldplay fans and people who just like the songs alike. Chris' voice takes music to a new level, in the deepest dark depression and sheer radiant elation. My favourite song on the album is 'Don't Panic' but 'Spies' is great also. Oh, who am I kidding? All the songs are awesome!!!
