Coldplay's critically acclaimed sophomore album A Rush Of Blood To The Head put the world's fears into words. The album was a massive, commercial success building off the success of the band's growing popularity from their debut record Parachutes. A Rush Of Blood To The Head generated some big hits with singles like "The Scientist", "God Put A Smile On Your Face", "Clocks" and "In My Place", but where it really resonated was in its meanings.
The album builds on many aspects of their debut, including both its flaws and it's strengths. While on Parachutes Chris Martin had sounded nervy and innocent in places, on Rush Of Blood he sounds much more confident vocally. In fact, the whole band all give this impression, frequently performing like they know the album is great and are ready to take on the world.
This was the sound of a new Coldplay, one that developed confidence, a voice, and a budding imagination to separate themselves from the other UK breakout acts at the time.
