Was thinking something like "Frownland". Poetic imagery and a simple invitation, engaging music too, that's what all girls want, right?

Meh, not my thing. Not too bad though. Then again, I haven't listened to this in a while. I'll do that again and see what I think.

Good Coldplay reminds me of Mumford & Sons. A style I really like done very blandly. Well, very blandly compared to bands and albums I love done in the same style. The blandness is even worse when everyone insists on playing those two so often. But choosing the two on my own time isn't as excruciating as people playing them. Maybe it's because I know the people mostly listen to them on their own time.

Typically, I find this album to be boring overall. Why? Because it uses the most mediocre method of metaphor to breath a soul into it's hopeless lyrics. The entire album warbles with a frenzied struggle to regain a sense of composure and control, and I like that. The theme is a self-deprecatingly poor sense of worth rooted in masterfully composed melodies, and that's dandy. But, what I can't appreciate, is how the speaker begs for space, then begs to be found, is preachy and inspiring then sings as if he's completely devoid of hope. The album direction is faint like I'm not quite getting enough blood to the head.
Specifically the problem I have with this albums is it's boring use of lyrics. Binaries like light/dark, lost/found, logic/emotion pepper the album and these predictable dichotomies are way overused. I like the space motif and themes of alienation, love, despair, struggle, and general vice and virtue talk but the album is hardly better than really good background music. The harmonies and melodies have great niches in this album but nuanced lyrics are the misplaced puzzle pieces in an otherwise good album.
My favorites would actually go: Green Eyes> God Put A Smile On Your Face>Politik>The Scientist>Clocks>>then everything else.
