” Within a few tracks, Coldplay established their talent through their memorable instrumentation and catchy choruses. It’s easy to see why it garnered so much attention, since most of the tracklist have become classic songs within the Coldplay discography, such as “ Yellow ,” “ Shiver ” and “ Trouble. 1 on the charts and went Platinum eight times. With the release of their debut album, they quickly reached No. Not many bands kickstart their career with an album as memorable as “Parachutes.” At the time, Coldplay was becoming a household name in the UK.
“ A Sky Full of Stars ” stands out as a single, but “ Ink ” and “ O ” add to the beautiful, quiet atmosphere of the album. The band finds success through a quiet atmosphere, which is wholly unique for a band that focuses on playing loudly at arenas. “ Ghost Stories ”Īlthough a controversial pick, “Ghost Stories” stays true to the dark blue-tinged look of the album cover, creating a tracklist saturated in melancholy. The only aspect holding this album back is the weak closer that pales in comparison to previous tracks. From the fast-paced instrumentation of “ Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall ” to the grandness of “ Paradise ,” the entire album feels like an epic story being told across a millennium. Unlike “A Head Full of Dreams,” however, the album includes a substantial amount of memorable Coldplay tracks.
One of the biggest staples of their concerts involves the laser and light effects that illuminate stadiums. Similar to “A Head Full of Dreams,” “Mylo Xyloto” is well-known for the tour that followed the album’s release. Luckily, “ Fix You ” and “ Talk ” give the album an edge, standing as some of the band’s best. “ X&Y ”Īfter the gigantic success of their first two albums, the band played it safe with “X&Y.” In turn, the tracklist lacks sweeping choruses and memorable melodies, resulting in a tedious listen. While the overall sound is very consistent with the newer Coldplay albums, “A Head Full of Dreams” fails to provide anything special. Despite including fan favorites “ Everglow ” and “ Up&Up ,” most of the tracks are easily forgotten after first listen. However, the album itself lacks cohesion throughout its spotty tracklist. The most recent album is most well-known for kicking off the third highest grossing concert tour of all time, selling out arenas like Allianz Parque and Rose Bowl.
In anticipation for “Everyday Life,” check out this ranking of all seven albums. Now they’re back with new music after four years. As one of the most well-known bands in the world, Coldplay blends grand rock music with pop sensibility that connects with many.
