Coldplay writing songs for the dark and dreary season, songs like little pearls, with just small details that need to be discovered little by little. Thus, "A Rush of Blood to the Head" at first impression maybe a little sober experience, but as soon as sometime Once a starting point is found it will continue to open this little by little and reveal the listener. To surpass the debut "Parachutes" should be not an easy task for the pioneers of England often so-called "New Acoustic Movement", great was the expectation after the fans are pleased with wonderful songs like "Yellow" or "Do not Panic" has. But thankfully is singer Chris Martin apparently the same introverted sensitive soul as it was still early, and so the development of the band manages just fine. The easiest entry is likely to take place on the singles "In My Place" or "The Scientist", the latter is not only the highlight of the album but also perhaps the entire Coldplay catalog. And here are the small details: Martins breathy 'uhuus' towards the end of the song make you listen, because the inconspicuous appearance acoustic guitar does not particularly alluring effect. The chord progressions of most songs come one then known somehow before, but that does not really matter, there is something to discover it in every song. Most of the time is then also not the text, because, with all due respect, as Chris Martin had a silent poet actually can afford a little more. Actually, there are the catchy melodies of the instruments. The elegiac "clocks" for example, thrives on his driving, yet understated piano, the opening track "policy" clearly the work of the second guitar for half of the song, as "In My Place". Five star So, despite all the lyrical frustration. Sometimes we just seem to need this kind of music, to the days when we are literally at the open window and the thoughts pile up in the gray winter sky. In moments like this CD comforts us in a very simple and very pleasant way.
