Customer Reviews Excellent single What I love about Coldplay is that most of the time they put out really good b-sides; good, original, unreleased songs, not just some live track or dance remix. This is a decent single. I wish the singles market here in the States was as large as it is over in England cause I feel we're really missing out on some great stuff. Anyway. . . . "Shiver" was never really my favorite of Coldplay's songs. It's not bad, it's just not as good as most of their others. Track 2, "For You" is not bad, it's a slow piano based number that moves along gently yet never quite achieves lift-off. The closing song, "Careful Where You Stand" is a great one however. It has a beautiful melody and a wonderful guitar part. It's definitely better than some of the tracks off of Parachutes. A decent single, worth the five dollars you can get it for. Shiver Shiver definitely did not meet my expectations, or even get near my expectations. Okay: I didn't buy this single, but I downloaded the Mp3 for Shiver, which I thought was going to be the best thing ever: and it wasn't. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because I have not heard the B-side tracks, so they might be good. However, if I could rate just Shiver (the song), it would get one star. Believe me, I love Coldplay, but I hate Shiver. Just get the 'Parachutes' album: you'll get Shiver along with a bunch of other songs that are definitely better. I'm not saying that Shiver is a song that I can't stand, it's just that it's so boring that I'm not sure how it became a single. I thought you were supposed to put your best songs on a single, not your most boring ones. I love "Careful Where you Stand" I wonder why it didn't make it onto their album. "Careful Where you Stand" is in my opinion Coldplay's best and melodically intriguing song. This song alone makes the single a must-have!. .
