'A Head Full Of Dreams' Review

You may hate them. You may love them, but the most important thing is that Coldplay is back with a new album titled "A Head Full of Dreams." It's time to start celebrating. This is their seventh album, and comparing it to the previous album, "Ghost Stories," it is like a colorful burst of air hitting you in the face.

This isn't the Coldplay that we are use to, but it works because in order to survive as a band, you have to adapt to the times. It's safe to say that Coldplay has adapted pretty well, because "A Head Full of Dreams" is a new chapter in the story of Coldplay. It's a good start to this new chapter, and it makes me excited for what the future holds for Coldplay.

1. "A Head Full of Dreams"

Thoughts: Wow. What a start to this album. It's catchy and uplifting, plus it makes me want to dance in a field of flowers. Now is it a hit? No, but it is a good starting point for this album.

Best line: It's a love, I've just been spoken / With a head full, a head full of dreams.

2. "Birds"

Thoughts: Perhaps if the song wasn't so fast-paced it would be lovely. It might be one of those Coldplay songs that is shoved in the back of the closet.

Best line: We got this one, you and me.

3. "Hymn For the Weekend"

Thoughts: Meh. Sorry. I love you Beyonce, but it just doesn't work. If perhaps she had a bigger part then it would be better.

Best line: Life is a drink, your love's about / To make the stars come out.

4. "Everglow"

Thoughts: This is reminds me so much of the older Coldplay albums and that makes me really happy. Chris Martin is at his best when he is crooning out a song alongside a piano. It works and this is a beautiful song.

Best line: Life is as short as the falling of snow.

5. "Adventure of a Lifetime"

Thoughts: The new sound of Coldplay and I only really like the last 30 seconds of the song. It might grow on me in the future but, for now, I'll appreciate it from afar.

Best line: I'm a dream, I die by light of day / Gonna hold up half the sky and say.

6. "Fun (feat. Tove Lo)"

Thoughts: It's a nice duet. I appreciate the lyrics of the song, and maybe it will grow on me at a later date.

Best line: Crystal ball could foresee a change.

7. "Kaleidoscope"

Thoughts: No Chris Martin singing...Only Barack Obama singing "Amazing Grace" in the background. Yeah....OK.

Best line: Umm...Let's skip this one.

8. "Army of One"

Thoughts: Once you get into the song, it gets better. A lot better.

Best line: Dance with the stars, while I see the moon.

9. "Amazing Day"

Thoughts: Amazing Day is another example of Coldplay going back to their origins. It takes me back to the "Parachutes" days mixed with a bit of "Ghost Stories." It is amazing.

Best line: In your eyes, I'm drifting away / And in your arms, I just wanna sway.

10. "Colour Spectrum"

Thoughts: Just like "Kaleidoscope." Another fluff piece.

Best line: Only one lyric...I can't have a favorite.

11. "Up&Up"

Thoughts: I always find that the best Coldplay songs and ones that become my favorites are always at the end. This is true for "Up&Up." As they say in the song, "We're gonna get, get it together somehow." You can only go up from here, Coldplay.

Best line: Don't ever give up / Believe in love.

Coldplay's new album is a nice attempt in this new chapter. Is it the best album they have done yet? No. Far from it. It's nice and has some good songs on it, but it won't come close to their previous albums. It is a new chapter though in the Coldplay story, and it makes me hopeful and excited for the future.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
