Customer Reviews

Coldplay's First Release Ever
In 1998, Coldplay was toiling away in London pubs when they got noticed by someone from Fierce Panda Records, which offered the band a one single release contract. In March 1999 the label released this 3 track single, which immediately attracked great buzz, leading to a bidding war among bigger labels and some months later the band signed a "major label" deal with Capitol.

"Brothers & Sisters" (3 tracks; 11 min.) is a fascinating look into early-Coldplay. The title track is quite good, and the band later re-recorded the track as a B side for the "Trouble" single in 2000. "Easy to Please" is a dreamy track, with Chris Martin crooning away over sparse instruments. "Only Superstition" finds the band rocking harder, a nice track.

In all, a very welcome re-release of Coldplay's earliest recording. Definitely highly recommended for those of you who (like me) are charmed by the "Parachutes" sound.

This is great! A great 3rd album to buy as a Coldplay fan.
I love Parachutes and A Rush of Blood TO THe Head. I picked this up off Amazon.com used for a few bucks, and it was well worth the money for 3 short songs.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS: 8.7/10

A wonderful song...but sadly, with a very irritating beginning. WHY, Coldplay? It seriously wasn't necessary? All in all, though, it has awesome lyrics and Chris Martin's voice is as great as ever.


EASY TO PLEASE: 9.5/10

Now THIS is the highlight of the compilation! It has dreamy guitar and piano accompanied by eerie inaudible voices in the background. This should've been a bonus track on a Parachutes collector's edition. My only complaint(s)? Make it longer, and include it on PARACHUTES! C'mon, it deserves it! This is FANTASTIC!


ONLY SUPERSTITION: 8.8/10

Some part of a rocker and a good finale, even though Easy To Please would be better as one. I love the guitar and drums. The lyrics aren't THAT special, but still good. This doesn't sound that much like Coldplay. This is GREAT.


AVERAGE-9/10 *****

THis is an awesome look into Coldplay's early years (1999). And ya know, it's worth the money. Pick it up used...or if you're a die-hard fan, get it new...anyway, you'll be happy you did. As I said, this is a good 3rd album to get.

A wonderful treat for Coldplay fans......
.....who are waiting for their 3rd album. I stumbled across this last night at the store, and it has Coldplay's early work. The first track, 'Brothers and Sisters,' is wonderful, and so is 'Only Superstition,' but I loved 'Easy to Please.' It's a dreamy Parachutes-like song. The piano is such a beautiful addition to the song. It makes you leave whatever troubles you and go into Coldplay's world, led by Chris' soft trance-like voice. The song, and the other two songs, are gems. A must for any true Coldplay fan.
