About the album

The difficult second album? Not for these guys. Fresh off the surprise success of Parachutes, Coldplay started recording in London, decamped to Liverpool to finish with Ken Nelson, and turned up the guitars and the piano both.

The result was bigger in every sense. That rolling piano figure on "Clocks" became one of the most recognizable riffs of the decade, "The Scientist" made grown adults cry in their cars, and "In My Place" picked up a Grammy of its own. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later put it on its list of 200 definitive albums, and Rolling Stone keeps putting it on its 500 Greatest list. Safe to say Chris Martin and the lads were onto something.
