They follow up the title song with ‘Birds’, a metaphor driven, disco spectacular in which Martin sings in his trademark cracking falsetto “Close your eyes and see. Nothing screams “I’m over splitting from my wife” like an upbeat opening track, filled with the classic Coldplay vim and vigour. On first listen sounds this album more like a follow up to 2011’s Mylo Xyloto than a Ghost Stories mark two. Two years down the line, the front man’s got his mojo back.

An album produced in the shadow of Martin’s much sniggered at “Conscious Uncoupling” with Gwyneth Paltrow proved to be a haunting series of mournful, folksy ballads in the ilk of a tear-stained love letter.

Many of us are still shivering at the thought of Coldplay’s last offering, the melancholic, brooding Ghost Stories. Their new album, A Head Full of Dreams, is their latest foray into the world of upbeat, toe-tapping numbers an adventurous LP that sees Martin and co produce moments of magic that are, frustratingly, all too infrequent. Most of us refuse to acknowledge the fact they’ve moved on from the days of haunting choruses of ‘Fix You’ under strobe lights into a world of experimental, electro dancefloor fillers. In fact, for the better part of the last decade and half, that’s the image that we’ve most commonly come to associate with British superband Coldplay. Nothing beats the sight of a sweat-stained Chris Martin hunched over a piano, yelling an anthemic chorus into a microphone with thousands of glo stick wielding concert-goers singing along.
