Overall, I can say I'm really impressed with some of the vibes that A Head Full Of Dreams manage to give me. It's sort of like each song on the album represents different dreams, with all of them being positive (of course). You dive in to the title track thinking, 'this is Coldplay's Joshua Tree impression' but it's more than that. It's a colourful tune with wonderful instrumentation. Those opening lines of Colour Spectrum that go into those 'Oceans' like beats feel like a countdown until the song kicks off, it's so adrenaline-pumping and awesome. Yes it sounds like U2, so what? U2 is good, so this is good! Don't think that Chris and co are trying to copy them, it's the way they would like to play music. Then Birds is uplifting and bouncy, sure it may end to soon but it doesn't put off the pure exciting experience and vibes you receive during it. As for Hymn, I'm not too sure about it being up there with the likes of 'Yellow' and 'Clocks' and 'Paradise' but it's joyful, it's different. The lyrics may not be good at all, but it's just a 'fun' phase that Coldplay are having, like U2 with 'Pop'. 'Pop' was more of a rock record per say(Do You Feel Loved, Mofo) , but it was still trying to act like a poppier release from Bono's band. Coldplay are doing the same with AHFOD, but just a little more lighter and less grittier. Who knows, they could change their style and go back to their older, original sound (one can dream:rolleyes:) but for now they just wanted to make this record. And it's listenable and it may not be a touch on older gems but it's still very good. Everglow may be a little boring, but at the same time if you listen closer, it's also very beautiful. AOAL is the lead single, and it's a really solid disco-rock track. Come on, you can't say Flo Rida or Bieber influenced this. More like 80's or maybe even U2's Pop inspiration that did the trick. Fun was originally thought as the PoC of the album at first, but no. It turned out to be pretty much EVERYONES favourite track, the vocals from Tove Lo and Chris just blend together so well. I have no idea why people don't like the interludes Kaleidoscope and Colour Spectrum. They're short but sweet additions to this colossal poppy alternative album. One of them has a beautiful Viva-like classical piano intro and a poet narrating a poem. The other is a collection of ambience that happened at the beginning of the album. I love them both equally. Army Of One may be my least favourite on the album, and that's just opinion. To be honest, the X&Y like synths fit really well on the song and I like one or two of the lyrics. As for X Marks The Spot, it's just Coldplay experimenting. Not good, but not that bad as it originally seemed first listen. Better than any charts RNB stuff today in my opinion. Amazing Day is another stand out ballad on the album, so the lyrics may not be complicated. So what? It's still a wonder of a song and the instrumentation I applaud again. Up&Up is a perfect closer in every way, production for the guitar riffs may not be that great. So what? They still stand out live. To conclude what I've just said, this album may not be some people's cup of tea but it's just Coldplay trying to experiment with pop. Not lyrically (in some cases yes but this album stands out because of the...)INSTRUMENTATION. Wonderful. More guitar used in this album I have noticed, which surely is good right. Cause I think it's great that they are using more guitars and it may not be as dark or heavy as the older stuff but it still creates a cool and joyous atmosphere.

I loved to know what they did before shows, and I was happy to find out that 'Daylight' is Guys favourite Coldplay song (such an underrated gem:p) and that he loves Jamie xx's new album!:) @Batman why can't you take over every interviewer in the world? You're really good at it (and drawing);)

*The Bat Strikes Again!* Awesome interview @Batman! I really like these Coldplaying podcasts, congratulations for putting it all together. :D

You just said...^ THE 'C' WORD!!!!!! ^:eek:

OMG YES! (and I ran away;))

Of Jedis

YAAAAAAAS:D

JB can go and piss off with taking UK Christmas No 1, hope the other song that's a charity single mashup of Coldplay and Simon & Garfunkel receives the no 1 spot. I'll go mental if JB gets it:mad:

Anyone here know if I'm opening this Coldplaying present on Xmas morning:p

^^^^;)

'Batman's Fans'

Woop woop I love that song:D My CPB: A Spell A Rebel Yell Shiver What If Up&Up How You See The World Name 3 singles that are based around night. Song At Risk: Ghost Story HINT: These singles could have something about the dark or the night in the song not just the name.

Oh yeah, it has. @Mexima already got that one. As for me, I only have 4 songs so far:D

^ I'd be so pissed if that happened...

Was it 2001: A Space Odyssey?
