what can i say Coldplay does it again. . what can I say. Great album (maybe not their best, but a very good listen).
Regan was right! Just say no. This EP sucks. Stick with X&Y for your one-hit-wonders. Maybe they just need to switch to Coplandia, as this effort is one bad trip.

I'm so glad I bought this It is definitely worth your money. This is a pretty rare EP that was released before their breakthrough album, Parachutes, came out. I found it in Tower Records Import/Singles section for 6 or 7 bucks after I had got A Rush of Blood to the Head. Well, this release is somewhat different from AROBTTH in that it is extremely mellow. While their latest album leans more to piano ballads and U2-ish pop songs, Blue Room EP's 5 tracks are very laid-back and beautiful. I wish they could have kept on making songs like "Bigger Stonger", the first track on the EP that stuns me every time. In short, this EP is pure magic.
They Need To Make More Secondly, this is probably one of the best CD's that Coldplay have made so far. "The Blue Room" EP can also be called Coldplay's third, not second EP, as some people might think (Brothers & Sisters and Safety were the first). Don't get me wrong, Parachutes was just as good. But I had just one disappointment. See, I just got into Coldplay about a year ago, and then I discovered this EP, heard some sample songs, and thought "WOW! I want to get this one!". But, there was a problem. This is an extremely limited edition EP that came out in 1999 and it is hard to find now. Even if you do find it, it costs a lot of money (Anywhere from [$$$]). I think that that is the only real disappiontment about this EP. They should re-realase it here in the US. They need to make more!!.
