I love The Blue Room EP - Here’s Why!

I am crazy about this album. It’s not widely known because it’s an import EP. That makes it all the more special, right?! I think so. This album was released in 1999, and for those of you who know your Coldplay, you know this is before Coldplay was made famous with Yellow

There are five songs on this album:

1. Bigger Stronger - My favorite song on the album and also on my list of top 10 Coldplay songs overall.
2. Don’t Panic - This song is later remixed and recorded on Parachutes. Also in my top 10 Coldplay songs overall.
3. See You Soon - See You Soon appears on other albums and is also done live on the 2005 tour.
4. High Speed - This song is #1 on my list of top 10 Coldplay songs. Jonny on guitar is amazing - and it has a phantasmagoric sound to it that makes me smile.
5. Such a Rush - I always wonder if this song is the reason why they named a later album, “A Rush of Blood to the Head”.
