Chris Martin, leading the vocals and on the piano, shows off more of his talents this time around than in the successful Grammy-winning album “Parachutes” (2001). Capitol Records knows this goldmine, hasn’t been drained. The album cover and insert art is done in all black, white and gray, containing only two simple photos of the band and a stark cover illustration, but don’t be fooled; the music is as colorful as any Van Gogh.

The lyrics of “A Rush of Blood to the Head” - the entire album not just the namesake track that appears on it - are deep and pent trating. The are so eloquent are that one can’t help being curiousof the inspiration to star tracks such as “In My Place” and “Tki Scientist,” a heartbreaking ode that hints at a mysterious mistake® a past relationship. “The Scientist’s” backwards-playing musit video received a Grammy nod for Best Short Form Music Video. While some of the lyrics are so abstract and seemingly personal to the band that they beg for elaboration (“Come out in things 1 sail Shoot an apple off my head / A trouble that can’t be named / i tiger’s waiting to be tamed” in “Clocks”), any listener with an imag inative vein won’t mind this exercise in creativity. Rolling piano accompaniment and an enchanting melody defmt “Clocks,” a track which shines above the rest and is worthy ofiis Grammy nomination for Best Record of the Year. After hearing this one, the rumor that circulated radio airwaves last March Elton John spontaneously took the piano bench at a Manhattanbj to play this hit isn’t hard to believe. Though the songs are emotionally entrenched, Martin doesni sound like he harbors the rage expressed by some of his contem poraries in rock; his vocals are soulful, sweet, and scream-free. Martin and company will take the listener on a fascinating - ani possibly introspective -journey with these 10 tracks, many ofwhici can also be heard on the band's new “Live 2003” album and DVD a collection of live tour recordings. “A Rush of Blood to the Head is still an unforgettable album that should hold Coldplay in thetof tier of alternative music. - Julie Bout Music Review V 2.002 Jay-Z flu Blueprint! R m a-Records This year’s 46th Annual Grammy Awards will have a vet competitive arrangement of talent. Musicians of all genres will be represented, whether it is country, rap, alternative, popoi even classical. It is always difficult to decide who is the bes from each category, and this year will be no different, especial ly for the rap nominees. Shawn Carter, more commonly known as Jay-Z, is one rappei who has graced the rap world with his lyrics and beats for a time now. He has already released several albums and his new two- disc set, “Blueprint 2,” hit the shelves in November 2002. “Blueprint 2” was produced by Roc-A-Fella Records andnomi nated for Best Rap Album for the 2002-03 year. Its competitor' include Missy Elliot’s “Under Construction,” 50 Cent’s “Get Rich® Die Tryin’,” Outkast’s “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” and Tit Root’s “Phrenology.” The two discs in “Blueprint 2“ are titled "The Gift” and'lk Curse.” Both include a variety of beats and tones that strengthen! disc’s entertainment value. Jay-Z mixes his talent with severap tured guests. Notorious B.l.G. helps jump-start ‘The Gift’ with the song, 1 Have a Dream.” Beyonce Knowles’ vocals in “’03 Bonnie ail Clyde” and Sean Paul in “What They Gonna Do” also add to Ik repertoire. Jay-Z even leans a bit towards the rock genre with Lei Kravitz in “Guns and Roses.” The album contains the stereotypical rap contents of sex, drug and name-calling but adds enough variety to make it more original than a mundane rap recording. “Blueprint 2” is not one of Jay-Z’s stronger albums, but itslil contains the charm and talent that got him where he is today. Jay-Z is also included in several other Grammy categories. Hii appearance on Beyonce's “Crazy in Love” is nominated forBes Rap/Sung Collaboration. In the same category, he is also nominate! for his collaboration with the Neptunes on “Frontin’,” featuri Pharrell Williams. His song “Excuse Me Miss” is also in the runniiE for Best Rap Song. Jay-Z has a way of combining the newer rap styles with someoi the tried-and-true techniques and voices of past rappers that him a good chance of winning a couple of awards. - Christina Teichm See Beat on page 5 OLD ARMY SUPPLY CO.
