Well, thank God the AHFOD, MX era of songs is over. This album is so, so much better than the previous two IMHO. It's more refined, mature. I get heavy influences of U2, Echo and the Bunnymen and earlier Coldplay. Its not without its weaker points but in general a massive step in the right direction.

The strangest thing is, 12 years ago if you said you liked Coldplay, you were classed as a depressive and boring, into music like Radiohead. Now you're classed as into light hearted Maroon 5 type of Sugarpop. It's such a strange turn around and downturn musically. Another thing that really bothered me about SB50 was the fact that the other members of the band may as well not have been there. Chris wasn't really well received and looked put of place in general but he was the main figure with Bey and Bruno Mars. I almost see AHFOD as his solo record because the instruments are so diluted under the production and the direction the band have taken is quite clearly all down to him, the other members almost don't seem to matter anymore. Contrast that with Jonnys early heavy Edge influenced riffs and thundering drums of for example Politik. It's such a Chris Martin band now with little or no influence from the others.Chris' mid life crisis. Trying to be young again and "hip" , musically devolving.Beyonce and Bruno Mars ruined it. It was Coldplays Superbowl halftime show and they were pushed out by Bey and Bruno.It's kind of true.I can't believe Chris said he wrote a song for Beyonce called "Hook Up" which Beyonce said was rubbish and didn't want to use?! Come on. Chris, get real what are you doing? , you're losing the plot in LA. You ard your band are so far away from all that nonsense. All the "left shark" laughing at Coldplay also :-( I despair for what Coldplay have become and the talent they're leaving behind.Outdone by Beyonce and Bruno Mars. Just not at all what Coldplay are at heart, they're not this Superbowl, showbiz, glitzy band that they're trying to be. Just get back to basics and what you're good at Chris, all this Hollywood stuff just isn't you or your band.Commercial rubbish designed to sell songs and albums. It all marketing and done for $$$$$$.My hand often goes in that direction also but I'm not dancing or singing at that time :-01. Jumping around grabbing crotch. 2. Beyonce. 3. Sugary Synths/Neon Colours. 4. Hymn For The Weekend. 5. Cringing/Embarrassment.It's an affliction that affects a lot of us! :-0Yeah, I agree. It's a shockingly bad album really. Lazy, poor songwriting and terrible production. Coldplay really need to have a look at what's going on with themselves.So how is AHFOD sounding to you now after roughly 2 months? Still sounds awful to me. Little or no redeeming features and in general a really poor album.The HFTW video is just terrible. Horrible song, horrible video.I miss the good music Coldplay used to give us. They're just boring now.Such a loss to the world. He was an absolute genius and one of a kind. His new album is a masterpiece and more extraordinary knowing he wrote and recorded it when he knew he was dying. RIP.Yeah, I cringe everytime I hear it.No. I've seen them 6 times in total since 2002 but I've lost interest in seeing them live now. The new album bores me and I can just imagine the multicoloured stadium shows full of artificial sounds, Chris jumping around and silly synth sounds.I'll be giving this tour a miss.The Gone remix version was the best Pop song.Yeah, agreed.I like the first part which I find catchy but like Everglow it doesn't go anywhere and gets boring. It's quite lazy songwriting and could've been so much better. The production is also messed up.Acrobat Vs I Fall Down.
