"A Rush of blood to the Head" is one of my all time favorite albums in existence. This album is by the British, alternative rock band "Coldplay" and AROBTTH is their second studio album, which released in 2002. What makes this album so great? One word, TIMING. I personally believe the best songs, albums, movies, whatever, focus on timing. Timing can be two things: 1) how it relates to your present, or 2) how far ahead of the present something is. AROBTTH consisted of both styles of timing, making it an instant favorite of mine. I was listening to the whole album at work one day, and as I was feeling depressed, "God Put a Smile on Face" came on, instantly brightening up my day. Then later during my work day, my manager was rushing everyone to complete tasks and then "Amsterdam" came on, hosting lyrics such as, "But time, is on your side, its your on your sideeeeeeee now....It's no cause, for concern....". Almost every song on this album has a song that fits a particular time or emotion in your life, now that's what I call timing!
AROBTTH also boasted hit songs like, "Clocks" (Which won a Grammy for Record of the year), "Warning Sign" and "In my Place" (Which won a Grammy for best Rock performace for). Coldplay won Best Alternative Album Grammy in 2002, and numerous other awards domestically. All in all, if you haven't heard the album, please give yourself the pleasure of doing so, I promise you wont be disappointed.
