I'm really enjoying it. I ordered this CD because I had purchased it a few years ago and misplaced it. When I received it, it was in excellent condition.
I bought mine used. You have to give credit to them for selling a lot of CDs including the two in my collection. To toy with your mind, the song "High Speed" creeps along "before my head starts to explode." Coldplay's biggest problem is that they write their own songs which aren't very interesting and don't say much.
All four musicians wrote all of the tracks. It's copyrighted; so don't try to steal it. Colplay is probably the best music you've ever heard if you never listened to another band's CD.
"Yellow" thunders for twenty seconds before giving way the pretty chorus where the singer's voice breaks momentarily into the upper register, "You know I love you so." The title track is less than a minute. Taxi. These brilliant songwriters have penned this stunning lyric on "Shiver," "So I look in your direction, but you pay me no attention; I know you don't listen to me because you see straight through me." "How do you live as a fugitive." Coldplay sings on the complex "Spies," "I awake to see that no one is free." One excellent aspect of Coldplay is that their guitars are well-tuned.
On the moody "Sparks," "I say ohhhhhhh" is the original lyric.
This stuff can't be listened to during the daytime - it's a sure sleep aid. Not sure where all the love comes from, but it's hardly challenging musically, nor is it all that enjoyable. For Parachutes, X&Y and Viva LaVida, I give them all passing grades - good enough for radio and maybe sports films, but not for a true progressive music fan. Coldplay is perennially overrated. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. With amazingly sappy lyrics and some of the worst over-production I've ever heard, their music is just a notch above elevator music. It's kind of a mass-marketed attempt to create 'progressive' music aimed at radio. In fact, it seems well suited for ESPN or NFL Films productions, and maybe stadium play.I spent a bunch of money on a fair amount of Coldplay's music and have listened through several times only to conclude that I wasted a lot of cash.
all in all, the cd is what counts so i am mostly satisfied the cd works fine, but the case is not in very good condition.
The disc itself was in fine condition. I was very disappointed with the purchase. I don't think the cd should have been advertised as being in "like new condition." The music by Coldplay is great and the disc is definitely worth purchasing, particularly if you like all of their other cd's but don't own this one. However, it came in a clear plastic case. The seller described the product to be in "like new condition". I anticipated receiving the disc in the original packaging (along with the cover)as though it were purchased brand new from a store.
