5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Track from a Brilliant Album 30 Oct 2002
By "stubydoo"
Format:Audio CD
Pretentious bed-wetters, or the voice of a generation? 'In My Place' was a stunning track, a superb taster of what was to come with Coldplay's second album, 'A Rush of Blood To The Head'. With 'The Scientist', they prove that no band does heartfelt melancholia with quite the same flair.

Starting with a simple, understated piano, 'The Scientist' is about the pain that comes with the end of a relationship. Chris Martin sings tenderly over this brilliant track, telling us that, "Nobody said it was easy... No one ever said it would be this hard... Take me back to the start." It's a moving, emotional track covering feelings of regret, sorrow and nostalgia, and is easily the best track on the new album.

'In My Place' was robbed of the number one position by Darius - let's hope that with 'The Scientist' the record buying public doesn't make the same mistake again.

The voice of a generation? You bet they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the most amazing songs you'll hear all year 22 Nov 2002
By "dangee_hotshot"
Format:Audio CD
Coldplay, have in the past two years come a very long way to world-wide stardom.

This along with 'Trouble' are Coldplay's finest songs, and 'The Scientist' certainly seems the pick of the bunch on the amazing 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' album.

Chilling piano plays solely at the start, leading into Chris Martin's warming but sad voice singing "Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry" which then leads into more heart-felt singing.
The lyrics are very touching, the music is beautiful and perfectly catches the emotion of the words.
In the song, it never really breaks out of the piano as it reflects how sad Martin's lyrics are, apart from near the end where a guitar creeps in to pick up the mood to more upbeat.

The song is about being in a relationship, and analyzing things too much about how it went wrong.
This song really is something special.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coldplay greatness is scientifically proven! 22 Oct 2002
By Tom
Format:Audio CD
Showing that they still know how to pen a damn fine rock ballad, Coldplay have written a testament to enduring love for their new single. The second to be taken from the band's ace new album, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, this single starts with a simple piano refrain and Chris Martin's tender vocals, before building steadily towards a rousing finale that'll have you waving your lighter in the air. "Nobody said it was easy", Martin claims, but with songs these good, Coldplay make success seem effortless.
