Flags should be on the album instead of WOTW / POTP The band is trolling or incepting us. I could see that song fully polished appear on the next album and they also have some weird ad in the artwork for EL promoting an album. Weird shit. Fun shit. More shit. |

The live thing is great. So nice to have Coldplay with a bit of soul back.

Live stream was cool. They def played Church's studio version to start. Didn't sound live at all. Everything else did.

His voice is fu**** apparently and they didn't know whether it'd be OK or not so they had backing tracks on the first one but it turned out fine so they dropped them for the rest. |

I thought I heard him his voice was fucked during the 10 min warmup. |

Interesting, they had that fan vote for the encore song. Viva won (lame) but Chris said they would play Sparks anyway. Neither happened. Unless they are gonna do it somewhere else next week. SPARKS!!!

Heard it last night. It's not consistently great, but still much better than their last three albums. Feels like the true follow up for Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends. Trouble In Town is the best song but the audio snippet the middle of it won't age well. Same audio memo on When I Need A Friend. They seem distracting from the actual music. Nevertheless, great album.

Nevertheless, great album. I can't stand when artists do this stuff with audio dialogue. You're right. Won't age well. The live version didn't use it and it was epic. |

It's definitely a mix of Ghost Stories and Viva. My ranking based off initial impressions: 1. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends 2. A Rush of Blood to the Head 3. Mylo Xyloto 4. Parachutes - Everyday Life 5. Ghost Stories 6. X&Y 7. A Head Full of Dreams Hot-takes are that Sunrise might be their most beautiful intro, and that the acoustic guitar riff on Old Friends is the sweetest one Chris has ever wrote. Highlights are Sunrise, Trouble in Town, Arabesque, When I Need a Friend, Orphans, and Cry Cry Cry. WOTW / POTP should have been the bonus track, with Flags in there instead. My main complaint is that it's too Chris-centric. Coldplay are at their best when all four members are bursting with riffs, grooves, and rhythms, and they're too reserved on Everyday Life for it to rank amongst their true masterpieces. Still, it's an emotional album that you can tell Chris poured a lot of honest feelings into. Giving it a light eight on day of release. Like I mentioned earlier, there are only about 6 full on band type songs. A lot of the other songs just feature Chris or feature no one. Now I know the other band members might doing doing other stuff during songs like Daddy or Eko but it just feels like Chris is solo on those songs if that makes any sense.

Early ranking of the songs:
1. Arabesque
2. Trouble in Town
3. Orphans
4. Cry Cry Cry
5. Sunrise
6. When I Need a Friend
7. Daddy
8. BrokEn
9. Church
10. Champion of the World
11. Everyday Life
12. Old Friends
13. Bani Adam
14. Guns
15. Flags
16. Eko
I enjoy them all to some extent, though, and it's definitely an album that's more than the sum of it's parts.

Still, it's an emotional album that you can tell Chris poured a lot of honest feelings into. Giving it a light eight on day of release. They've been Chris centric for the last several releases. Mylo Xyloto was their last "band" record. Everything since has been either Chris + piano, Chris + acoustic, and Chris collaborating with (insert here any popular hip hop or pop artist). You'll occasionally get the flare of Johnny's 'The Edge' style guitar work, and Guy's bass. Coldplay has been more of a vehicle for Chris's forthcoming solo career lately rather than a true ensemble. |
