Pretty good album. I'd heard it a few times before. Coldplay always seems like Radiohead-lite (pretty sure this is a super cold take). I liked it fine, but hard to be excited about. 3.25/5

When "Yellow" first started playing on the radio, I remember thinking "wow, this new Radiohead single is really shitty". Coldplay has forever been remembered to me as shitty Radiohead. There are a few times where some interesting things happen musically here, like the first parts of Shiver and the Pink Floyd-esque chorus of Trouble. But there's also just tons of stuff I can't stand; Shiver takes a turn for the boring, and the main hook of Yellow sounds like someone who just figured out how to do a string bend on guitar. Overall, the interesting stuff doesn't save the rest of the album.
Still can’t stand Coldplay, sorry. D
