Parachutes album - by Barney Hoskyns, Rock's Backpages (Dec 2000)

"Singer Chris Martin sings with that reassuring university-boy timbre, a big dark mahogany plangency that makes him a distant relation of Nick Drake and even Colin Blunstone. Most of Parachutes is semi-acoustic, the folky comedown from all those pulsating dance beats and pumped-up nu-metal riffology. What the Radiohead/Jeff Buckley school really portends is a return to reassuring four-piece rockism, comforting guitar/bass/drums conformity when everything around you is splintered, fractured, inorganic. It’s rock as worship, as doomed troubadourism – in Chris Martin’s leaden formula: 'Music that’s quite soulful and emotive. Real. Timeless.'"
