This album is Coldplay's most underrated gem. It's getting a lot of flack from critics and some fans alike. They've definitely dialed it back since Mylo Xyloto, but this album is pure Coldplay goodness, full of palpable emotion and beautiful melody. It's softer, subtler, more gentle than Viva or Mylo, calling back to their first three albums. But at the same time they experiment with synth sounds and beats that makes it something we've never heard from this band before. It's beautiful.
