Coldplay
Ghost Stories
Coldplay has taken a step back in time, with their new album Ghost Stories, deciding to go back to its roots. This is more of an acoustic album; they mixed the sounds of X & Y, Parachutes with a spice of Mylo Xyloto.
This is an emotional album, it transmit feeling and ideas. I think that it would have made a great debut album if this had been a new group, but considering their legacy it comes kind of weak. Some songs were great but could had more potential
I really loved the lyrics of all the songs, and the acoustic vibe they input. This new old style, is kind of indie rock. But mixed with pop. I feel like there isn’t a way to define their style they just make songs. I don’t know how long it took Coldplay to make this album, but considering that in 2013 supposedly they were in a “break”, this might been a rush album, or they might have edit some songs that where previously record while in production of their previous one. Whatever the reason and ways they did this record it doesn’t quite matter.
I liked the album, 4/5 stars, but it could have been a thousand times better. It even felt short on songs, the basic version only contain 9 tracks.

The TOUR, I haven’t heard much about their tour plans, but of what I’ve seen so far they are doing this small intimate shows with only selling a few tickets, and all there shows are being sold out. Many people probably want to see them live, but there decision of making the shows on small venues affects the fans experience. Their tickets are fewer and the price is higher.
