Posted: 5/22/2006A review of A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Zemy1011
Parachutes was raw and emotional with deep lyrics, and XY hit hard with its catchy pop tunes and guitar rifts. A Rush of Blood to the Head is a perfect blend of these two albums. It is constructed of songs which have both the qualities of the first and the third album. If you like Coldplays other albums, you are in for a real treat. It is beautifully constructed the opening song, Politik, is a burst of energy and passion which will blow you away with the strong, raw guitar rift. Up until track 6, Coldplay would have given you four equally excellent songs, all with passionate and meaningful lyrics you got from the first album. From track 6 to track 9, the album becomes rather more atmospheric, and the songs become more layered. This is the section of the album where you will get the most consistant, hypnotic guitar sounds of the album. A whisper is probably the song that fits this description most closely. After A Whisper, the title track A Rush of Blood to the Head, kicks in. This is the point in the album at which it almost snaps its fingers after the previous hazy tracks. Its angry lyrics make it stand out from the rest of the album. It is a strong, raw ballad, and it really is a rush of blood to your head. The album finishes wish Amsterdam, a mellow track with a beautiful sounding vocals that leaves you in awe by the end. It is probably their track that closely resembles Fix You from XY, as it has the whole band singing, with a powerful ending. A perfect concluding track to a near perfect album. If you buy this album, it definitely will not be a dissapointment, especially if you take the take the time to listen to it all the way through. Its a must have album, 5 stars, well worth the buy.
