"yes", "don't panic". "what if" "we never change".

There are plenty of other criticisms you could make btw, just that's a particularly weak one imo
Actually, I think ripping on his lyrics is the most valid criticism.

nah, the vague nature of the lyrics (more previous to this album) is the point, maximum relatability n such. It doesn't automatically make 'em good/defensible mind but still.
in any case Coldplay's about tunes and vibe, if you don't like what they do there then OK. But nitpicking Martin's lyrics is nerd shit in a bad way, they're making music not writing poems

sadly, some bands can do both well

well I don't care cuz I'm like the rap fan stereotype of obvious rock bands I like
it's all good though lol

I really do think Martin's lyrics are fine though. Look our fam dog's gonna be put down next week and "Oceans" made me feel some type of way today, don't hate

am i the only person who thinks "Magic" is a top 5 Coldplay song? i'm pretty lukewarm on the rest of the album though.

haha definitely not hating. I don't hate Coldplay. I get it.

I'd completely forgotten that this album was ever a thing. Of everything Coldplay has ever released, I've by far found this one the easiest to ignore, which is definitely a blessing as far as I'm concerned.

IDK man maybe it's just my work but I've heard "Sky Full of Stars" (worst song on here, easy) a billion times on their radio and it got me feeling like Paul Rudd against the Michael McDonald video
It is a pretty conscious "artistic" album not designed to churn out anthems (or attempted anthems) like their last ones though. except for that stupid song.

I like "Magic" but I like "Midnight" better, in all its Bon Iverish woodland critter glory

I like Magic so and so but I truly find this band repulsive. I can't help it. I know there's bands more deserving of the hate but everytime I overhear them I just feel like punching their music in the face. I'm pretty sure it's Chris Martin's voice.
