Album Of The Day: Parachutes by Coldplay

Album Art of Coldplay's Parachutes album - A photo of a globe of the earth that is an orange color that is spinning rapidly and lit from inside of the globe, such that a bit of the stand of the globe is softly lit, but the rest of the room is black. Above the globe in the blackness is printed in gray letters the band name and the album name.

Released on this day 25 years ago in the UK, this is the first album from the band Coldplay. It's a beautiful, 42-minute chill pop/rock masterpiece. With short, cryptic song titles like "Shiver", "Spies", "Sparks" and "Trouble", you might not be expecting much, but in these simple piano melodies and Chris Martin's vocals are uncomplicated and relatable music for the masses. "Yellow" remains one of the band's most popular songs, despite touring the world and releasing 9 more studio albums in the quarter century since this with numerous more hits. It's a perfect album for playing late at night before going to bed on a summer evening, and is one of their best albums overall even all these years later.
