At first I was on the fence with this one .. I’m a huge fan going back to the first album .. always loved the slow burn intensity of their previous albums .. minus the BIG ELECTRONIC BANG of MYLO XYLOTO.. After the quiet release of Ghost Stories .. they delivered on the promise of a quick follow up complimenting a emotionally intense album .. with a loud catchy pop album .. NOT the COLDPLAY I’m used to.. BUT that’s good in a way .. my tempered expectations on this album were wrong .. I found this album to be an absolute breath of fresh air .. Made me drum on the steering wheel more than any other album of theirs .. songs line ARMY OF ONE , and FUN are my absolute favorites on this record ..just as Mylo Xyloto teased what was to come with this album with the mix of pop and traditional Coldplay .. this album didn’t have to grow on me as much .. I now consider it one of my favorite CP albums .. stay tuned for the amazing follow up “EVERY DAY LIFE “

Love many songs in this album. Hymn for the Weekend is one of the best songs they’ve ever written while a lot of the others are also really good too.

Garbage

This is the worst album they've done!!! not their sound at all, tried something different and it just sound awful , sorry Coldplay but dont do this type of music it does not suit you guys, go back to your roots, listen how you started and the fame you got, this is not YOU!!!!

Pure talent from all the years that they have made music! Most people say that Coldplay isn’t their favorites anymore because they changed from rock to pop. But they sound amazing either way!!! 👍👍👍 FIRE!!! 🔥

I’m not huge on this project I thought ghost stories was better than this even with all the electronic stuff in it I like that album more than this one imo

I will admit that this album is a bit different compared their previous albums in the sense that they add a lot more of the sounds and beats you would probably hear in a pop album rather than an alternative one. However, that’s not to say that just because they wanted to try something new (similar to their other album “Mylo Xyloto”) means that there won’t be some decent songs on it. Although I admit I enjoy more songs off of some of their older albums (especially X & Y), I did enjoy “Adventure of a Lifetime”, “Hymn for the weekend”, and “Up&Up”. It is a drastic difference from when they first started recording albums, but it’s honestly not that bad and maybe you should actually try listening to the songs instead of just reading all the bad reviews and haters.

Nothing like the Coldplay I fell in love with.

Ok so I have no idea why there are so many people who don’t like this album. I personally LOVE every single song in this album. I think that Coldplay is getting even better, not worse. I understand how people might not like that they’re changing and want “the old Coldplay” back, but this change in their sound has been coming for a while. Just look at Ghost Stories, or even Mylo Xyloto. Coldplay has been leading up to an album like this for a while, and none of us should be surprised. Rather, let’s embrace this (amazing) album! If you don’t love it, give it a chance. It has much more to offer than meets the eye.
