Coldplay: Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin.
Producers: Coldplay, Ken Nelson, Chris Allison.
Recorded between November 1999 and May 2000.
PARACHUTES won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
In 2000, a small wave of British pop bands clearly heavily influenced by Radiohead`s brand of anthemic mope rock arose, with Travis, Muse, and Coldplay at the forefront. Coldplay are the most clearly Radiohead-like, compared to the poppier Travis and the more electronic-oriented Muse, and their US debut, the 10-song PARACHUTES, should appeal to any fans of OK COMPUTER or THE BENDS who found KID A too weird for their tastes. (Coldplay even swipe a song title, "Don`t Panic," from Douglas Adams, as Radiohead did with "Paranoid Android.)
The soaring yet depressing single "Shiver" is a masterpiece of swelling emotion, and the fact that the other nine tracks, even the instrumental fragment of a title track, sound like variations on its theme is more a matter of conceptual and musical unity than a lack of ideas. This album deserves the hype it got on release.
