Hey all! Next week is my last week of school, which means this weekend will be me finishing all last-minute assignments. So I'm extending this by one more week. That's it though.

Hi this is due tomorrow night! Chances are I won't start until Monday so anyone still interested can slide in a list any time on Sunday if necessary.

Title track is obviously nothing to write home about but I have no problems with it
Unlike "Yellow"

It's fine so far, I hope "Spies" is appreciated here.

Oops should've finished this by now. ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) Picking it back up with #7, which happens to be the first #1 loss.

This album is strong; it has some dull moments here and there imo but overall it's a very solid album. I enjoyed "Spies" a lot but the fact that I had to rank it in the bottom half of the album is rough.

You know I'm a really big coldplay fan but Yellow is one of their most overrated songs.
Anyways this top 2 is fucking amazing so I don't really care what wins

Oh! I was expecting "Yellow" to be in the Top 2. Anyway, I hope "Trouble" wins this.

Wow I'm surprised "Don't Panic" managed to pull off a win here! I was either expecting "Trouble" or "Yellow" to win. Thanks for hosting Adrian C. π and looking forward to future Coldplay album rankdowns!

Hello people and welcome back to the Coldplay album series! I think we had a pretty successful first round and it's time to keep it moving as there is still a lot more to go! Next up is their second studio album, A Rush of Blood to the Head! This album was released in 2002, but recording began immediately after 9/11. A lot of these tracks relate to the theme of urgency, which you'll hear if you listen closely to the lyrics. Chris Martin also explained that the title of the album means "doing something on impulse".
A Rush of Blood is their most critically acclaimed album receiving a score of 80 on Metacritic. It peaked at #5 on the US Billboard 200 and, just like Parachutes, hit #1 on the UK Albums Chart. It also hit #1 in many other countries and was a worldwide success. It's been certified 5x Platinum in the US and 9x Platinum in the UK. And, just like Parachutes, the album earned a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2003.
Just like Parachutes, we got four singles from this album: "In My Place", "The Scientist", "Clocks", and "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face". "Clocks" was the only single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #29 and ranking at #81 on the Year-End list for 2003. Although "In My Place" did chart on Bubbling Under hitting #17. Regarding my thoughts, I think this is an outstanding album from start to end (probably my favorite album of all time). I love every single track here, so I'm excited for this round and I would imagine this will be the most difficult one to rank, but that might just be me haha.
Tracklist: 1. Politik 2. In My Place 3. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face 4. The Scientist 5. Clocks 6. Daylight 7. Green Eyes 8. Warning Sign 9. A Whisper 10. A Rush Of Blood To The Head 11. Amsterdam
Spotify Playlist:Instructions: 1. Rank each song from 1 to 11 based on your opinions (#1 is your favorite, #11 is your least favorite). 2. To submit, send your list to me via PM here (@ adrianc) OR those of you who know me on Discord can send it to me through there. 3. Please number your rankings if possible, but I will not throw your lists away if you don't. It's not that big of a deal, but just a slight preference. 4. Have fun!
This is of course open to anyone! I know there are a lot of rankdowns, particularly year-end ones, going on right now. So I'll leave this open for about a month and a half. The deadline will be Saturday, February 29 at 11:30 PM CST. But knowing me, I'll probably still extend it. The album is a little less than an hour long, so it shouldn't take too long. But we'll see where we are when we get there.
