A Rush of Blood to the Head

the take

Politik is the perfect intro to a perfect album. It’s got this pounding energy that feels like a storm. It’s really cool. I grew up with this band and this record in particular. It made me want to play the piano, and three songs on the record are the first three songs I ever learned to play (Clocks being the first). But more than that sentimentality, it’s a strong record. The music is diverse and intricate, and his voice does a lot of nice runs that really showcase his abilities. And that ending is just sublime. Fav Track In My Place
