My second favorite group of musicians is Coldplay. For every album ever released the emotion, the feelings of loss and strength, love and anger, have all impressed me. The amount of love the band shows for the world and so many things is truly extraordinary. ( No offense to listeners of pop music, but lately there is not much depth in meaning), which I realized has over the course of time become what Coldplay has evolved to. Coldplay once was truly a great alternative rock band, but I fear due to their new album "A Head Full of Dreams" they are now more alternative pop. I feel the one album released before this "Ghost Stories" represented the transition of their music. The ghost stories are tales of a dead, past, styles of the band. As the music is the same, there is less music, more machinery and technology as opposed to raw guitar and alternative vibes, that have been sent to an earlier time. I am now upset to hear the new album and it's theme.
This is the style Coldplay originally had. A bunch of British alternative rock artists.
This is one of the most recent photos of the band. Seemingly enlightened by life, the original feels of the band have left.
Despite the more optimistic side of the band, the music that represented them at the times of being more realistic and easier to relate to, in complex life obstacles, we all at some point find ourselves facing, was more dominant in my music taste. Because the past music had a more meaningful flow that would allow you to feel what the artists felt, the new album if Coldplay is in great contrast to that of the past.
