About this album

EMI UK (2006) Released: 14 Aug 2006 10 tracks (41:41)
Parachutes is the Grammy award-winning debut album by English rock band Coldplay, released on July 10, 2000 in the UK and on November 7 in the U.S… Parachutes quickly shot to number one in the United Kingdom, staying in the top ten for thirty-three weeks.

The album produced four hit singles: “Shiver”, “Yellow”, “Trouble”, and “Don’t Panic”. In the United States, the album peaked at only fifty-one on the Billboard 200 yet, it still managed to sell over two million copies within a year.

Parachutes won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2002. It was placed at #14 in Channel 4’s 100 greatest albums of all time and in 2006 at #33 in NME’s 100 greatest British albums. Despite the album’s critical and commercial success, lead singer Chris Martin said that Coldplay looks beyond Parachutes. “We know that’s terrible music,” he said, “and we always try to think about what we can do next.”

    I guess this is the only album where they really had something to say.

    such a brilliant album, all great tracks to chill out to. Go as far as saying 'yellow' is my least favourite on it

    I agree with yiffysunk420. This album is indispensable. Not sure what happened after that. Somehow the soul was lost on most later tracks.

    Even literature professors that hate piegas are loving this album. In twelve years.

    this is the only Coldplay album i own and like. i remember when Rush of Blood first came out i felt really alienated from the previous sound. then the others are completely forgettable. this album is gold, i don't know what happened after that

    This album holds so many great emotions for me, played this over and over and...over. I think most people that trully feel the soul Coldplay had with Parachutes go sad while listening to the ultra poppy mylo xyloto. I know it's cliché to say ''they were so much better before'', but in the case of Coldplay it's the bitter truth I think...I feel like we have lost one of the greatest bands of the 21st century to the big commercial tornado called ''success''. But hey that's just me!

    You are smoking some serious crack if you think this is their worst album. Infact, Parachutes set the standard that all the other Coldplay albums can and will never meet.

    Although I think all of the albums that came after this one were better, it feels wrong to call it their "worst" album. Let's say it's their "less wonderful". [2]
