A Rush of Blood to the Head

This is a very good album released by a very good band. I highly recommend this album and artist.

Great album, had to have a copy as my other is in storage. Great seller too....fast shipping!

I got what I paid for.

La mejor compilación

Album itself is great (listened to over Apple Music before) and I wanted to own it physically. Unfortunately the copy I received, while sealed and everything, contained the WRONG DISC, and case cracks lead me to think this was a repackaged used copy. I will be requesting a replacement in hopes I actually get the right disc this time. I will update my review accordingly at that point. Review Update: sent for replacement yesterday and it arrived today, very quickly, which I was appreciative of. This time everything was great, case didn’t look beat up, cd was correct. I definitely think the one I revived originally was a used case and disc marked and sealed as new, which is puzzling. All in all I am very happy with how this was handled and with the end result! Added 2 more pictures to show the difference in the replacement from the first 3 of the original recieved.

I'm a Coldplay fan and a vinyl fan! This is a solid pressing, 180 gram, no frills, side A and B. Plays excellently on my Pro-Ject RPM1 and Pro-Ject Essential turntable. In fact, this is my second copy as I keep one at home to play on my higher-quality turntables, and the other copy is the one that can travel with me with my portable turntables (please don't hate, pure audiophiles). Yes, I own one of those 'suitcase' type of portable turntables because I love playing vinyl so much and I love Coldplay. For anyone who feels may be similar to me in regards to vinyl and Coldplay, have fun and get 2 of them! Or hell, just get 1 copy and enjoy the hell out of it! Hope this review helps!

Everything was great! The CD arrived even earlier than expected. The case was slightly damaged — most of the small tabs that hold the disc in place are broken — but overall it’s in perfect condition.

Great sounding quality than Digital formats, it gives more volume and a warm resonant sound. also the packaging is safe as well. very nice.👍🏻

Gute Platte

Gran disco de Coldplay difícil de conseguir en España no me esperaba que llegara con un libreto especial hablando del disco. Me encantó

C'è poco da dire: miglir album dei Coldplay. Stupendo. Da comprare assolutamente se si è fan di questa band.

This is still Coldplay's best album, and clearly a band operating at the height of their powers, haters and snobs be damned! The sound quality on this vinyl is really just gorgeous.

This is definitely the best indie album in recent years and undoubtedly heading to be the album of the year. The first thing that the listener notices as the first crunchy, guitar notes of Politik pour from the speakers is that there a sense of purpose and that the band are determined to better the naive genius of their debut Parachutes I use that oxymoron "naive genius" as I feel that it is a good description of Parachutes. Although it was very good I did feel that it was slightly overrated and not a true classic and was more a pre-cursor for future great works like this album. Granted it had 4 or 5 classic songs in the likes of Don't Panic, Shiver, Spies, Trouble and High Speed but We Never Change and Everything's Not Lost were flimsy to say the least. The immediate thing that the listener notices is that the production is improved and much more refined - the organic, rawness of Parachutes remains but this is also met with a smoothness and crispness of sound and subtle atmospherics in the background on some of the tracks. Throughout the album the listener also notices that Coldplay's influences are now even more wider and comprehensive. The most prominent is obviously Radiohead in their 'The Bends' era. The opening track and several others could have quite easily fitted onto that album with their varying guitar textures and Chris Martin's yearning voice. John Lennon and U2 also pervade this album. Piano-driven songs such as The Scientist, Clocks and Amsterdam recall John Lennon's Imagine album and U2 in their great example of songwriting craft. Amsterdam is the closest relative of the U2 classic, Running to Stand Still, that I personally have ever heard. Despite the fact that the band dismissed Green Eyes as a B-side, I personally find it to be quite charming and not an embarassing love song. The finish of the album is quite phenomenal and it has to be said that it is the most breathtaking that I have heard in recent years. The troubled, brooding title track draws heavily on The Bends' as its influence and marks the emotional peak of the album. Chris Martin's powerful vocals are at their best hear and the dynamics between the haunting, acoustic verses and loud, crunchy guitars of the chorus are superb. Amsterdam which quickly follows is the calm after the storm and although it is hard to choose a favourite track from such a strong album with honestly not a bad one in sight this my personal favourite. As previously mentioned it is the closest to Running to Stand Still that you will ever hear with its quite simply beautiful piano melody. It is much more convincing than its predecessor Everything's Not Lost. The Verve and Richard Ashcroft are another influence on the album with the strings used on many of the tracks used to provide another dimension to each song. Warning Sign, in particular, is the closest relative to The Verve and Richard Ashcroft that you will hear with Chris Martin's strong voice and his refrain "the state we're in." Everything Must Go-era Manic Street Preachers also provide another influence. The Sean Moore style crashing drumming is deployed on superb first single In My Place. In the end AROBTTH fulfils the promise of genius evidenced on Parachutes and is likely to be most people's album of the year. It is an accomplished album that will not let anyone down and there is not a bad track in sight.
