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 has a Bayesian average rating of 56.4/100, a mean average of 55.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 55.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

Obviously this isn't the Coldplay of 2000-2008, it's a poppy mainstream version of them. But this is still a good album. Adventure of a Lifetime is a great song.

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.

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.
