It took them seven albums to do it - but Chris Martin declared that Coldplay finally sounded like they always hoped they would on their latest record. A Head Full of Dreams (Released December 4, 2015) It would be interesting to know what would have happened had Coldplay not blown up as early as they did - they may not be as divisive today, and album three may have given them a perfect record.Ħ. 'Til Kingdom Come', which would have been a Johnny Cash duet but for the country star's death, and 'A Message' still showcased the softly-softly guitars Martin and Jonny Buckland are so good at. It absolutely made sense for Coldplay to pile it on even more after Rush of Blood, but X&Y was sometimes too inflated. 'Square One's motif actually came from the 1968 blockbuster 2001: A Space Odyssey, 'Speed of Sound' was drenched in synths the size of Bono's advice book and 'Fix You', although an utter beaut in its own right, overegged the lovely subtlety their previous ballads possessed. But, looking back, X&Y marked a defining moment for the group and it was one which transformed their whole trajectory - it was the first time they sounded as big as their popularity suggested.
