'Everglow' and the Tove Lo collab 'Fun' bring ultimate closure to the Gwyneth saga with a pledge to enduring friendship (and, to prove it, the former track features MartinвЂ™s ex on backing vocals).

HisВ relentless need to take us higher feels most genuine when we get a sense of what got him so low in the first place. By weaving a spoken-word reading of an inspirational 13th-century Persian poem and a sample of Barack Obama reciting 'Amazing Grace' into the mix, the album essentially conflates MartinвЂ™s post-rebound optimism with an all-encompassing, heal-the-world mission. A Head Full of Dreams is emblematic of ColdplayвЂ™s burning desire to be all things to all people, rolling up symphonic Britpop bluster, club-thumping bangers, dentist-office soft rock, finger-snapping R&B, and even some trippy touches that remind you of a time when this band just wanted to be as popular as Mercury Rev.Д«ut the albumВ has bigger ambitions. Though written off by detractors as middle of the road, ColdplayвЂ™s centrist position is what ultimately makes them so singular-theyвЂ™re the only rock band that could (and would want to) wrangle BeyoncГ©, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo, Norwegian Top 40 architects Stargate, Kendrick Lamar producer Daniel Green, alt-rock lifer Nik Simpson, and вЂњGimme ShelterвЂќ scene-stealer Merry Clayton on the same record.

'You make me feel like IвЂ™m alive again,' he sings atop the slinky disco of lead single 'Adventure of a Lifetime', a lyric that succinctly sums up the spirit of the record like a movie poster tagline.ДЄ Head Full of Dreams is ColdplayвЂ™s chance to reassert the eager-to-please exuberance that Ghost Stories deliberately downplayed, and prove that Adele isnвЂ™t the only artist who can mobilize a monoculture in 2015.

The new album,В by contrast, is MartinвЂ™s unconscious recoupling record, the sound of a freshly single man stepping out onto the dancefloor to lose his mind and find new love. Of course, thereвЂ™s a perfectly logical reason for the albumвЂ™s oversold optimism- A Head Full of Dreams is a reactionary retort to 2014вЂ™s Ghost Stories, a low-key response to a high-profile split that literally wore its (broken) heart on its sleeve.
