Parlophone UK A Head Full of Dreams [VINYL]

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

I prefer cassettes over files, CBs over I-phones and Super 8 over video. I was a kid when the Beatles were forming. So here's some thoughts from a fairly older one. If you like a band called Coldplay, you should discover Travis. If you like Travis, you should discover Coldplay. Everyone has different tastes and preferences; your worst tune could be my best, and vice-versa. But if I had to chose 20 songs to create a ' Best Of ' compilation, this would be it: (listed in listening order, not from best to last) 1. Birds (Coldplay- A Head Full Of Dreams ) 2. Up & Up (Coldplay- A Head Full Of Dreams) 3. Lovers in Japan (Coldplay- Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends ) 4. All of the Places (Travis- Everything At Once ) 5. A Different Room (Travis- Where You Stand ) 6. Boxes (Travis- Where You Stand) 7. One Night (Travis- Boy With No Name ) 8. Another Guy (Travis- Where You Stand) 9. Big Chair (Travis- Boy With No Name) 10. Amazing Day (Coldplay- A Head Full of Dreams) 11. A Head Full of Dreams (Coldplay- A Head Full of Dreams) 12. Always in my Head (Coldplay- Ghost Stories ) 13. Magic (Coldplay- Ghost Stories) 14. Clocks (Coldplay- A Rush of Blood to the Head ) 15. Shiver (Coldplay- Parachutes ) 16. Yellow (Coldplay- Parachutes) 17. Sing (Travis- Invisible Band ) 18. Strangers on a Train (Travis- Everything At Once) 19. The Scientist (Coldplay- A Rush of Blood to the Head) 20. Us Against the World (Coldplay- Mylo Xyloto ) ...90 minutes of magic. Sorry for all the fabulous exclusions. FUN FACT: 7 of the 20 selections come from two albums. And for you Travis fans, don't forget these gems, oldies but goodies... 1. All I want to do is Rock (Good Feeling) 2. I Love you Anyways (Good Feeling) 3. More Than Us (Good Feeling) 4. As You Are (The Man Who) 2016.11.03. rv

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 :)
