This is an easy band to write about, initially they came out in the year 2000 with the good album 'Parachutes'. Which featured hits like 'trouble ' and 'yellow'. Quite an influential album to indie bands at that time like Snow Patrol and Athlete.
I started to notice a turn in their approach on the follow up ' A rush of blood to the head' the album cover was like kraftwerky in design all though the music was still guitar based in the main part. The third album I have to say is utterly brilliant 'X and Y'. Songs are really strong, and in a way the songs like merge into other parts. Bit like Depeche Mode's voilator album(but not as electronic).
They Collabarated with Brian Eno with the Viva La Vida. Which is another brilliant album. Coldplay remind me a bit of the Police and Sting and I cant put my finger on it why, obviously their albums are becoming better produced and structured. The Songs writing is also getting stronger. They remain hugely popular and are due to have a new album out by chritsmas 2010. Will be interesting to see what its like
