A Head Full Of Dreams (studio album) by Coldplay

Boy does this album get a kicking. As others have said before and will say after, Coldplay know how to divide a room. When U2 and Simple Minds became stadium acts did they get such a kicking? Maybe they did. The thing is, bands and solo artists have to develop and move on, if every Coldplay album sounded like their first three, that would be boring, and yes, I do like it.

This album was made to be played in big concerts, the use of lyrical devices like “Oh, oh, oh, oh” and “Woo-hoo” in most of the songs makes it good for that, but bland, trivial and nothing memorable too.

Spanish review:
Este álbum está hecho para ser tocado en grandes conciertos, el uso de recursos liricos como “Oh, oh, oh, oh” y “Woo-hoo” en la mayoría de las canciones lo hace perfecto para ello, pero soso, trivial y nada memorable al mismo tiempo.

Coldplay opto por ritmos alegres, y canciones mas optimistas, con un sonido mas pop/electrónico, vagando en lo superficial. La mayoría de las canciones son genéricas y después de escucharlo una vez, queda en el olvido.
Lo único destacado del álbum, solo por decir algo bueno de esto, es “Adventure of lifetime” y tal vez “Everglow”.

I like Coldplay - but they do divide the room don't they - lol.
To be fair I have listened to this a few times but not recently before giving this score and review, and only really tune I can recall is Army of One but I had enjoyed it and place it as an enjoyable and good album but not blowing me away.

forgettable, but not horrible

Weakest album but still consistently good

Not as good as some of their other albums but still a good listen.

I miss the old Coldplay. Some songs are totally bad

Chris Martin have said that he no more cares if people think their music is great or not. Well, it is sadly not great anymore.

A Ghost Of X&Y To The Head Full Of Dreams Or Mylo Xyloto And All His Parachutes was a pretty Coldplay sounding Coldplay.
Coldplay in this album, Coldplay the Coldplay out of their Coldplays. Other great Coldplay that you can give to Coldplay, is their Coldplay to Coldplay. The Coldplay was great, the Coldplay and the Coldplay was also very Coldplay and Coldplay...

I give it a solid Coldplay/10
