Late
last year it started creating a big buzz around l before it was officially announced as many reported that it will be theirs last
album together.One month after their single “Adventure
of a Lifetime” from the latest album “A
Head Full of Dreams” was released Coldplay finally released their
7th studio album on 4th December 2015.After not no successful last
album “Ghost Stories”there was lot of expectation from the band
and band don't disappoints to an extent.Yes,I know I am late by some
days for posting my reviews and it was only yesterday I got hold of
the album,all thanks to my buddy Raj(dude!!! You are popular now ).
Better late than never,here it goes...
With
the single 'Adventure of a lifetime ' already released,here is the
entire track-list from the album
'A
Head Full Of Dreams'
- Amazing Day
- Adventure Of A Lifetime
- Birds
- Hymn For The Weekend
- Everglow
- Fun
- Kaleidoscope
- Army Of One
- Colour Spectrum
- Up&Up
- Head Full of Dreams
Its Coldplay and in just two minutes and 20 seconds into the
opening, title track, the anthemic “oh-woah”, is
there.Everglow,a piano ballad, surprisingly featuring Gwyneth Paltrow
on backing vocals is quite good and worth listening.Fun(featuring
Tove lo) is like Martins remembering good old times with Paltrow and
is just another track.With Army of One,Martins gives little taste of
R&B and its good.Kaleidoscope has an interlude featuring a Rumi
poem followed up by a snippet of President Obama singing Amazing
Grace (give it a listen for MR.PRESIDENT).Some good lyrics,flute
loop,piano the lead single Adventure
of a lifetime is funky.Featuring the diva Beyonce herself,the track
really makes one hymn for the weekend.Birds sounded to ordinary,and
then there is a short Colour Spectrum.Amazing Day is great and saving
the best for the last featuring Noel Gallagher Up & Up, is a
singalong that’s very hard to resist.
With
the likes of 'Yellow','The Scientist' behind them I wont say this is
Coldplay at its very best but definitely they sound really good and
after 'Ghost Stories' is a very good comeback.
Though
the album received mixed response from the critics around the
world,I loved it and its worth listening for all music fan not only Coldplay loyal
like me and on a scale of 10,I would rate it 7.5.
A
poignant touch but by going by the rumors that it can be their last
album,its hardly a stuff of dreams and all Coldplay fans wants a
grand Good-bye id there is one(Who wants it,anyway???)
Must
Listen: Up&Up,Amazing Day,Everglow
The
whole review is of my own and may differ from people to people.
“VIVA
LA VIDA”
