December 13, 201510 yr this my third one i guess lol 1- Birds 2- Amazing Day 3- Fun <--- didn't like it at first but now .. WOW 4- Hymn For The Weekend 5- AOAL 6- Up&Up 7- Everglow 8- Army Of One 9- A Head Full Of Dreams my albums ranking VLVODAAHF AROBTTH A Head Full Of Dreams MX X&Y Ghost Stories Parachutes
December 13, 201510 yr Ive been reading through a whole bunch of the rankings and Im amazed how much variety there is. I remember it being the same when viva came out, but in my opinion that album was 'stronger' as a whole - I can imagine any one song being someones favorite (regardless of whether you like the album as a whole). I feel different about AHFOD, but looking at these rankings, Im wrong, apparently. That said, I don't really have a one through 11 ranking myself, but when listening I often end up skipping HFTW, AOAL (which is not a bad song actually, just not my thing), and up&up (which sounds like one of those youtube covers of a really, really good song).
December 13, 201510 yr up&up (which sounds like one of those youtube covers of a really, really good song). I keep thinking about what exactly I don't like about the album version and why it doesn't get me emotionally. This description made me laugh and maybe hits the mark for me.

December 15, 201510 yr Parachutes? :eek: I'm assuming you highly rate Stargate's production of AHFOD too, more so than Brian Eno's on VLV. Would be interesting to know your thoughts as to why. Viva has very clean production, don't misunderstand me. Parachutes and AROBTTH not that much. But as I said, they have weak links to me: Yes, We Never Change,Warning Sign, to name a few. I have never liked LIJ too. In the end I really love those albums, but I just prefer the strongness and quality of the 3 in the top (4 with GS).
December 16, 201510 yr I object against the use of 'weak links' instead of 'songs that don't to it for me', since the former makes it sound like fact. also it sort of saddens my heart hearing We Never Change and yes being called a weak links :'(

December 20, 201510 yr Here's my ranking for now : 1 Amazing Day 2 A Head Full Of Dreams 3 Army Of One 4 Hymn For The Weekend 5 Adventure Of A Lifetime 6 Fun 7 Everglow 8 Up&Up 9 Birds 10 X Marks The Spot 11 Kaleidoscope + Colour Spectrum Envoyé de mon GT-I9100 en utilisant Tapatalk My ranking has changed a bit : 1 Amazing Day 2 Army Of One / X Marks The Spot 3 A Head Full Of Dreams 4 Everglow 5 Adventure Of A Lifetime 6 Hymn For The Weekend 7 Up&Up 8 Fun 9 Kaleidoscope 10 Birds 11 Colour Spectrum
December 22, 201510 yr 1. A Head Full of Dreams (On repeat constantly) 2. Amazing Day (has grown on me profusely, amazing build-up) 3. Up&Up (A little long, but great closer) 4. Birds (surprise of a song) 5. Fun (has grown on me) 6. Army of One (great song) 7. Adventure of a Lifetime (great song but not as good as the others) 8. Everglow (liked it at first, now I see its mediocrity) 9. Hymn for The Weekend (I just am not feeling it) 10. X Marks The Spot (shouldn't exist, should stay hidden) Interludes do not count for me with the others. They are great interludes though. Albums: 1. Viva La Vida and Death and All His Friends (classic, got me into Coldplay) 2. Ghost Stories (out there, but extremely soothing and comprehensive, comes together so well) 3. Mylo Xyloto (a few duds, but very entertaining) 4. A Head Full of Dreams (a few duds (pretty bad ones), but comes together nicely and is very entertaining, companion piece to Ghost Stories) 5. A Rush of Blood to The Head (The Scientist, Clocks, etc. are amazing, but can be too melancholy for me) 6. Parachutes (Yeah........this is too melancholy, I can't find enjoyment here except for a few tracks) 7. X&Y (Speed of Sound (aka Clocks), In My Place, and Fix You are everything, but everything is, I'm sorry, bad, you can tell the production troubles) My top 5 favorite songs: 1. Every Teardrop is A Waterfall (I just love this song so much, it's just so good, no regrets) 2. Viva La Vida (emotional, amazing lyrics, my jam) 3. Fix You (makes me cry) 4. The Scientist (so real, so emotional) 5. A Head Full of Dreams (I am shocked that this is even here, I just love this song so much, I never thought a AHFOD song would be here)
January 2, 201610 yr A month later, there's a bit of an update... top seven remain unchanged, though. [ATTACH=full]3666[/ATTACH]
January 2, 201610 yr Wow finally another Coldplayer who doesn't like Birds. I was feeling so lonely !! You're more severe than me, Birds was penultimate in my ranking [emoji4]
January 3, 201610 yr This is what I think: 1. Up&Up 2. Army of One 3. Adventure of a Lifetime 4. Fun 5. Hymn for the Weekend 6. AHFOD 7. Amazing Day 8. Birds 9. Colour Spectrum 10. X marks the Spot There are a lot of mixed reviews for this album, but personally I think that overall it's a good effort from Coldplay. It's probably fair to say that the album is a lot more commercial than it's predecessor, due to there being more pop music.
January 3, 201610 yr I have my final ranking so far (interludes not included): 1. Amazing Day 10/10 2. Fun 10/10 3. Birds 10/10 4. Up&Up 9.5/10 5. A Head Full of Dreams 9.1/10 6.
