Don't forget, this pop direction is pretty much all because of Chris' musical tastes gradually changing from alt-rock to pop. Simple. You see, back in the old days, he loved alt-rock, that's why he made that genre of music. It's clear now that he likes pop better, so surprise surprise, the frontman of the band's musical tastes change, their output changes. Simple as that. The other band members still have great musical tastes and that's why we see Coldplay haven't gone completely pop yet. They still can pull off the masterpiece like Birds and the classics like Amazing Day. Even though that one isn't really a "classic" Coldplay song, I bet you it would have if it was written back in the old days of Coldplay. It has that vibe to it. But anyway, the reason we don't consider Coldplay straight pop yet (at least some of us) is because of the other band members who have other plans, other than pop. Just wanted to say that. :)

Yeah he uses the same guitar riff for UATW but it really works out, it blends so well with the song and is a nice floater and has that "distant" feeling I guess that comes along with it, just works perfectly with a song like UATW even if it is the same riff, it's a great one.

This radio probably gave us all the single's names. There's a radio, and 4 songs (5 if they were also hinting at the title track) are on there. Adventure of a Lifetime & Everglow are two singles we already have. Hymn For The Weekend is on a speaker, as everyone knew that would have been a single from the start. Birds is just a hidden little title hidden on the handle, but seeing as Adventuer of a Lifetime and Everglow are on the radio and are on singles, we can predict with accuracy that Hymn For The Weekend (obvious) and Birds (less obvious) will be singles. There's another hint for Birds, since there is an MV for it already, so this radio pic hint gives another sign that Birds will be a single. It doesn't seem very likely, but the signs that Coldplay are giving us are pointing to this surprise... It's possible the title track could be a single too, as there is "A Head Full Of Dreams" on the radio (yes, that's the album, but it could also relate subtly to the title track since we all know how subtle Coldplay can be with their little hints). IMO Fun would have been a better choice. I don't see it anywhere on the radio, hinting that it may not be a single. It really should be, it has a gorgeous intro and the song as a whole is not only just nice, it does kind of have a "single" vibe to it. Birds is more of an album track, as it's intro is AHFOD's leaking into it and the outro is technically Birds that completely leaked into Hymn For The Weekend. It also doesn't have a single's vibe, but I guess it'd be a pleasent surprise if it were to become a single. But I think we can all agree that Fun would be a better choice; why'd they do a collab with a pop artist if they weren't going to release it as a single? It seems made to be a single, and really I have this feeling that it will be a single even though it might be released much much later as the possible last single from the album. It isn't on this radio. It just makes sense, with someone as popular as Tove Lo you'd expect them to have released it as a single.

I find it interesting, those lyrics totally hinted to their further songs titles :P

Up&Up also got completely ruined by electronic drums to, in the big singalong. Still remains my 4th favorite however

He did go back quite a few times throughout the album. But he's been drumming with real drums for 15 years before he went through his electronic era. I think he'd want to try something a little more experimental and new, don't you think? Doing the same thing for 15 years is boring. He got into electronic drums to try new stuff. He's combining both in this AHFOD album. That being said, I do think he's still using them a little to much, and decreasing the quality of some songs that were meant to have electronic drums. Ex: Everglow.

This is for you then! :D

Okay, who kind of person would vote "0" I see one

Welcome ! :D

:heart: :heart: :heart: I adore this song...

Exactly. For example when I listen to Radiohead's Kid A, which has a ton of dissonant chord structures, I really appreciate it, and my brain likes the sophisication put into it, and I can clearly tell they're oh so talented when it comes to this stuff, since it's hard to fit a dissonant chord structure into a song while still making it make sense I guess. Radiohead are very good at that. However my ears sort of pick it up and realize it's dissonant, and the actual sound of it isn't too great but my brain notices the sophistication and really as a result I love the song because they made it work somehow. It's so hard to explain but hopefully you all know what I mean :)

They did have stronger songwriting in the past but I'd argue, they're not very "dull" today either. They still have great songwriting abilities, just not with the magic as with Oldplay.

Reloaded the page, now it does. But it said "Adventure of a Lifetime" the first time I looked at it. :P

BTW just watched the video, blown away. Coldplay's best for me.
