Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2000 Mercury Music Prize. The winner was The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy (Edited)
Easily their best album. Nice melancholy Dream-Pop right through (Edited)
One of the best albums of the 00’s along with a Rush of Blood to the Head. Sadly it went downhill for Coldplay after X&Y (which was also pretty good) because it seems they sold out :( (Edited)
Only bettered by A Rush of Blood to the Head in my opinion... A fantastic album nevertheless... (Edited)
Gran debut.
Se notan las influencias de Radiohead y Jeff Buckley aquí, especialmente de los álbumes The Bends y Grace pero con un enfoque más dentro del Pop-Rock. De cualquier modo, "Parachutes" sigue siendo muy agradable, melancólico y tiene excelentes canciones como; Don't Panic, Sparks, Yellow y Trouble.
Probablemente Parachutes sea uno de los álbumes más icónicos y representativos del Pop-Rock de los 2000s y creo que si a te gusta escuchar este tipo de rock (melancólico, melódico, suave) lo disfrutarás mucho.
