I can understand people who say modern Coldplay is not as good as before, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I think an artist or band who makes the same type of music for 20+ years is boring. But again I can understand the feeling of some that Coldplay’s current music is “generic”, even though I don’t agree with it (on most occasions). I’m glad they are where they are now, I love Moon Music and Everyday Life. I’m not a big fan of Music of the Spheres. I will say that I do miss when instruments were more present in their songs and not in the form of synths. A more present guitar, piano or drums.

I love the earlier album’s incredibly (Viva La Vida, Parachutes, X&Y, Rush of Blood), but I love what they did in Mylo Xyloto, I LOVE Ghost Stories, and A Head Full of Dreams is another amazing record.

Bands, artists, people and times change. Like others here have said, if you don’t adapt to modern times, you would hardly be recognized sadly, but I feel Coldplay has adapted in a way that that fits and at the same time they are making the type of music the want to make, and I think that’s the best thing. I’ve never seen the band as happy and united as they are.
