In my opinion one of the finest debut albums I've ever held in my hands. I have the "4 CD Set Catalogue" bought and am passionate about Coldplay me. Perhaps we should keep me as a "late starter" in music of Coldplay, but it's really for Coldplay never too late. And I'm glad, really have every album of theirs.
I especially like the "Parachutes" the hits "Yellow" and "Trouble". But the rest of the songs are very nice to hear. (Of course it is quite what song is a hit and what not, of course, a matter of taste) All in all I am very happy with this album.
