Coldplay - Everyday Life (November 22, 2019) Album • Page 8

Now projected to debut at #5 with 45-50k equivalent sold.

Even without a strong lead single that just seems so low for Coldplay. A shame too, the album is really good IMO.

 

In session for Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 right now. Radio 1 - Listen Live - BBC Sounds

Guns
Orphans
Daddy
Lovers in Japan (new arrangement)

The more I listen the better this sounds. I’m actually surprised at how well this flows together too. Heading into “love” territory.

 

81,000 and a eighth consecutive number one album in the UK. We really love them over here!

 

Those were beautiful

 

i've started a discography listen of Coldplay a few days ago and i'm really enjoying this.

weird as shit to hear Chris swear so much in "Guns". never expected that!

very early guess after 2 listens to each album has this as my 4th favorite album of theirs (behind Blood, Parachutes, X&Y). i could see it surpassing X&Y though, that album is just so long to me and i don't think the 2nd half is very strong so i sour on it a bit.

 

pretty much exclusively listened to this album during the MN snowstorm over Thanksgiving break

kind of think it's amazing and at least their best in a while

 

agreed

 

I absolutely love the way they recorded piano on this

It has such a homey, intimate, childlike tone

 

starting my discography run through rn. parachutes is so fucking good. the only weak link on it to me is high speed, which feels a bit like a pale imitation of the bends. everything else ranges from decent to brilliant.

 

"Shiver" >>>>>>>>>>

 

- "Spies" takes the cake for me for Parachutes
- the title track for Rush of Blood
- not sure yet on X&Y but the first half is pretty much all gold (only downside is some of the songs are a biiiiit overplayed)
- "Yes" / "Lovers in Japan" / "Strawberry Swing" i think are my favs from Viva
- "Every Drop is a Waterfall" / "M.M.I.X" from Mylo. Probably.
- not sure of anything on Ghost Stories after 2-3 listens
- "Fun" & "Hymn for the Weekend" from A Head Full of Dreams
- not sure of any favorites from Everyday Life yet, but i really enjoy the atmosphere of that album more than anything since Rush of Blood.

 

If I had to pick a top song from each album:
- Sparks
- Warning Sign
- Swallowed in the Sea
- Death and All His Friends
- Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
- Midnight
- Birds
- Trouble in Town

Damn that was actually really tough, especially for Parachutes, Rush of Blood and Viva. I smell a Coldplay bracket coming.....

 

Parachutes: "Yellow"
Rush: "Amsterdam"
X&Y: "A Message"
Viva: "Lovers in Japan" (though, if "Life in Technicolor II" were on the album, that would be my pick; don't understand not opening with that when you have it.)
Mylo: I view the "A Hopeful Transmission"/"Don't Let It Break Your Heart"/"Up with the Birds" stretch as one long song, and that's my pick. If that doesn't count, it's a wash between "Hurts Like Heaven" and "Us Against the World"
Ghost Stories: "O"
A Head Full of Dreams: "Up&Up," probably, or "Everglow."
Everyday Life: "Old Friends"

 

and spies. two white-hot bangers

 

Parachutes - Shiver
AROBTTH - Green Eyes
X&Y - The Hardest Part
VLV - Violet Hill

genuinely haven't enjoyed anything off of the others, save the new one that i haven't heard yet, but that's part of what this run-thru is for

 

"Hurts Like Heaven" off Mylo Xyloto is one of my all-time favorites of theirs

 

Oh no this is dangerously approaching bracket territory

 

Parachutes - Don’t Panic
A Rush.. - Clocks (Preferably the live version off of LeftRightLeftRightLeft)
X&Y - Twisted Logic
Viva La Vida - Lovers In Japan
Mylo Xyloto - Hurts Like Heaven
Ghost Stories - Midnight
A Head.. - Hymn For The Weekend
Everyday Life - Arabesques

 

Please no.
