Isnât album sales going down just a general trend in the music industry due to the massive increase of streaming music online?

I miss their unique melancholic rock sound. They are a totally different band now.

8:56 the reason why Viva la Vida sold less compared to their previous albums is mainly due to the 2007-2009 financial crisis or aka "The Great Recession", I truly believe if the crisis didn't happen, the album would've been their best selling album.

My dad has a take on Coldplay that I've internalized: they got famous, and started writing songs that would keep them famous. Neither of us really like modern pop, so we stick to the early albums. A Rush of Blood to the Head is honestly one of my favorite chill-out albums ever.

Honestly they are still popular after 20 years, I donât think they need any more validation at this point..they gave us so many good songs and inspired so many musiciansâŚ.

Moral of the story: don't pay too much attention to others' expectations.

Regarding the decrease of sales of their albums, isn't that the general evolution of the industry moving to streaming?

I'm not a superfan but Coldplay's music was there during my tough times. Fix You, Scientist and In my place held me together during those times, years after these songs were released. Their songs are timeless.

My dad loves coldaply, and ever since I was a kid, he would play their songs in the car, be it for 15 minute trips to the supermarket or days on end when we went for a long trip. Child me was happy, happier than I've ever been in my life, and that pure happiness and adoration for life and new experiences is what I associate with Coldplay songs. I grew up to be an even bigger fan than my dad, and every single album, every song means something to me, most connected to fuzzy memories from my childhood. They're still my favourite, and I haven't ever been disappointed, because they try and do something new every time the release an album.
I remember when my parents got divorced and my dad and I lost that connection with him for a while, so we had to rebuild our relationship from ground up when I was a teenager. The joy I felt when he came over to see me one day and we sat down to watch the video for 'Up and Up' together on the day of it's release.. Knowing that my dad enjoys a song so hopeful and happy, I felt safer and more comfy in my own hopes.
I'm 20 now, and life's put me through the grater (I am ukrainian if that helps you piece anything together), and Coldplay songs still cheer me up or let me enjoy my melancholy. I've come to associate 'Yellow' with my boyfriend, too, so Coldplay never really leaves my life. Their music is just so meaningful to me, even if the lyrics are a little silly at times.

Coldplay's mission impossible : trying to appease everyone.

Bottom line is Coldplay became 'too mainstream' so critics and music snobs began to distance themselves from their music. I don't care whether a band is mainstream or not, if I like their music I am going to listen to it

Sadly, they have become âI like their old stuffâ for me. Parachutes was a phenomenal album. So good. Stood the test of time, and easily. Rush was really good, and made them famous. After that, it was just okay, then more okay, then more okay.
By X&Y, I felt like I was starting to notice there were these repetitive motifs to most of their songs.
I still listen to Parachutes a couple of times a year.

'A Sky Full Of Stars' plays an important role in the album and has a natural part of the wider record - with the prior track flowing into it perfectly. Your argument against Ghost Stories basically resorted down to "EDM bad" - when the album is actually far better than you're giving it credit for.

If you don't listen Ghost Stories on a beach in the night right after a breakup you can't understand its real potential.

I've been an avid Coldplay defender for decades. I genuinely think Viva La Vida or Death & All His Friends is one of the best albums of the 21st Century, and for me, definitely the best pop album of the 21st Century. It's such a visceral, sublime and utmost beautiful record - reletentlessly triumphant to say the least with an uplifting and enriching conceptual theme and exploration. I wholeheartedly think, regardless of their downfall in quality recently, Coldplay is extremely overhated by pretentious music nerds and critics - but hey, as George Lucas said, critics and fans tend to know nothing about art.
