I’m a big fan of their earliest stuff, hell even the “Ode to Deodorant”/“Brothers and Sisters” demo tape is a million miles better than anything on that “landfill indie” thread I slogged through a couple months ago. I absolutely adore the sparse-quiet-production-plus-loud-jangly-arpeggiated-guitar sound of Parachutes. Anyway, once they started trying to sound like an arena rock band on their second album I kinda got off the bus. I do love Chris Martin and his piano, though. More pop songs should have pianos in them.
