Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Clocks - the longer single.......2004-05-08

I will not discuss the song Clocks, supposing that you have already heard it by now.

Crests of Waves and Animals capture Coldplay wearing their Echo & The Bunnymen influence on their sleeves. And their inclusion onto A Rush of Blood To The Head would have added some much-needed diversity since they are both far more bouyant than most of the album's songs.

The live recording of Yellow, strangely enough, doesn't seem to have an audience. It's just Chris Martin singing along with his piano, nothing else. I myself prefer the full band version.

The live recording of In My Place is a little on the messy side when it comes to mixing. Martin's voice gets a little off-key at times and the crowd, at one point in the beginning, becomes louder than the band. Aside from those details, it sounds just like the album version.

5 out of 5 stars Best Coldplay Non-LP.......2003-09-25

I recently started trying to find all the Coldplay singles, most of which are hard to find. This is by far the best I've found so far. I would reccomend this highly to anyone who likes Coldplay at all, and it's a great first single with which to start a Coldplay collection.

5 out of 5 stars The best single released from "A Rush Of Blood" so far..........2003-06-17

In addition to this version of the "Clocks" single, I also purchased "The Scientist" (Canadian) and "In My Place" (Canadian). Hands down, this is the best single of the three. In addition to the stellar first track "Clocks" (in a radio edited version here), the b-sides and live tracks make this one a worthwhile purchase.

"Crest Of Waves" and "Animals" sound very similar to the rest of the tracks on "A Rush Of Blood," and could have easily been included on the album. "Crest" is a mid-tempo track that sounds similar to "Green Eyes" (from the album). "Animals" is a bit slower, but I wouldn't quite call it a ballad--possibly more comparible to the title track "A Rush Of Blood To The Head."

The "live" version of "Yellow" is a very different rendition, almost unrecognizable if not for the lyrics. This track is Chris Martin solo at the piano on the famous Morning Becomes Eclectic show on KCRW. It is much slower and more melancholy than the familiar album version from "Parachutes," but still very pleasing.

The last track captures the energy of the band during their tour for the "Rush Of Blood" album. This "live" version of "In My Place" is from the MTV UK Coldplay special, which finds the crowd singing along and the band sounding as good as ever. This single was also released in the UK with the b-sides, but without the live tracks. Pick up this version, as you will be happy to have the live versions of "Yellow" and "In My Place," too!

4 out of 5 stars Tick.. Tick.........2003-05-17

There have been very few triumphing bands that have ever came out of the U.K. since the 1960's. During the past 10 years, there wasn't any really until Coldplay came along in the late 90's. The music they've made is very melodic and unbelieveable. It is just too bad that there are very few of them to have the drama here in the U.S. Their latest, Clocks, taken from the album A Rush Of Blood To The Head, is a melodic, seducing rhythm that is still as fresh as it was released later on down the road. I thought it was an unbelieveable voice that Chris Martin, the lead singer has, and the band itself has definitely tried to own. They're definitely keeping up the pace with this song. With their latest single, The Scientist starting a storm of its own, Coldplay will definitely be around for a long time.

5 out of 5 stars Best Single Off of "Rush" due to the B-sides.......2003-05-03

"Clocks" is the third single off of Coldplay's "Rush Of Blood to the Head", and by far the best. 5 songs clocking in at 22 min., giving us the best of Coldplay.

The version of "Clocks" here is the radio-edit, somewhat shorter than the album version, but still one of the most exciting songs of Coldplay. The other tracks are what make this a "must have" for any Coldplay fan. "Crest of Waves" is a great upbeat track. "Animals" is the best track here, an old concert fave from the 2001 tour and one that was long expected to be on the "Rush" album, but for whatever reason didnt make it on there. It remains a great song, and for the long-time fans, this is the main reason to buy this single.
