Parlophone UK A Head Full of Dreams [VINYL]

Album is great but not Pink & Blue version as advertised, still waiting for resolution

I cant believe i get to purchase this at 3600¥. Love that it came with a very good condition. Very new. No damage on the outside. It is not in gatefold but very nice.

Album number seven from Coldplay arrives ripe with subtextual and metaphorical expressions about love and hope, spirituality and predestination, appreciation, gratitude and amazing grace. I applaud Chris Martin and his creative band mates for this bold, brave, and risky outpouring of musical expression. Coldplay will gain some new fans eagerly willing to ride along in the passenger seat, as the band embarks on their journey towards rebirth, renaissance, and enlightenment; and they will lose some die hard fans for the very same reason. If you want to like this album; you will, and if you don't want to like it; you won't. Coldplay will be headlining the halftime show at Super Bowl 2016 and the timing is perfect. Our world is in a dark and scary place right now. Racism and bigoted behavior abounds. Hateful behavior is creeping up and infiltrating its way into our sense of calm. "A Head Full of Dreams" with its "don't let darkness keep you from moving towards the light" philosophy may be just what the doctor ordered to be heard all over the world on Super Bowl Sunday. I like all of the songs on the album, but my absolute favorites are; "Adventure Of A Lifetime," "Hymn For The Weekend "(featuring Beyonce - I don't understand all the hate-talk about her presence on this album,) "Fun," "Everglow," "Amazing Day," "Up & Up," and "Army Of One." The album "Head Full Of Dreams" is a lightheartedly upbeat, optimistic, and euphoric musical experience worth being listened to repeatedly. Here's what I do; I put on a good set of headphones and close my eyes and listen. Most of the time I end up standing on my living room floor giving in to the emotions and physical movement caused by the music. "I can feel my heart beating...'cause you make me feel like I'm alive again." Try it. I double dare you. -:) "Don't ever give up. Believe in love." ~ Coldplay

Bought this as a birthday gift for a friend. The delivery was on the expected date, and the packaging was excellent. The album itself is very good, but that much is obvious, since it IS Coldplay! But what astounded me is how awesome the album art is. Clearly, someone spent a lot of time designing that thing, and it shows. It's as close to a pictorial representation of "a head full of dreams" aa I've ever seen before. So even if you don't particularly like coldplay, I still recommend you go for this one, that is, if the 'price is right' for you. The songs are much less morbid than some of Coldplay's past endeavors. And the album art makes it all worth it :)

Je n'ai découvert Colplay qu'en 2018, mais j'ai été accrochée très vite, au point de me procurer tous leurs albums précédents. Contrairement à certains avis négatifs, je trouve cet album vraiment très agréable. Il est peut être différent des tout premiers (quoique pas tant que ça...), mais c'est plutôt normal, non ? Qui ne change pas après 20 ans de vie ou de carrière ? Les événement et les rencontres que nous vivons tous nous font évoluer , forcément... C'est le contraire qui serait inquiétant ! Je suis donc toujours gênée de lire des critiques catégoriques du genre "c'est nul, c'est devenu purement commercial" ou "ils ont vendu leur âme ". Chaque artiste a bien le droit de proposer ce qu'il veut, il me semble, même si ça n'est pas dans la continuité. Et si ça ne plait plus, eh bien il y a plein d'autres talents à écouter. Pas la peine de faire des procès d'intention ... Bref, pour en revenir à cet album, ce qui est indéniable c'est qu'on y retrouve comme dans tous les autres de superbes mélodies : qu'elles soient entrainantes, émouvantes, envoûtantes ou dansantes, elles ont la patte Colplay, sans aucun doute. Et la voix de Chris Martin y est toujours aussi sensuelle 😊. Après, chacun peut préférer certaines périodes à d'autres : ça tombe bien, on a inventé les enregistrements et les playlist en tous genres, qui permettent d'écouter à volonté ce qu'on aime le plus 😉!
