Coldplay - Everyday Life 2019 album - listen orphans single video and more

It takes a long while to get into a more Coldplay-like stride, and goes on a long experimental (not always fitting) journey to get there, but it is all the better when it finally arrives. But no sooner has it arrived, the album ends. I am not knocking the band for trying something different and there are moments of melodious bliss that sometimes exceed anything they have every produced before, but
sadly these are fleeting moments, and there are also plenty of dodgy, somewhat peculiar miss steps. Some tracks just feel rushed and incomplete. I really don't understand why bands have to shoehorn weird politically charged spoken bits into their songs to get a message across. Surely the message is more powerful when it feels like a natural piece of the music.
Sadly they don't. My favourite tracks are probably Champion of the World, Everyday Life, Orphans and Arabesque; the opening instrumental is an honorable mention. This is when the band finally enters their stride. If only there had been more tracks like this and less of the bizarre gospel-infused god-chanting numbers in the middle. If you have already heard the singes, I would say that is about as good as Everyday Life gets. Definitely worth a listen but not one you are going to have on repeat for too long. Certainly not my favourite in their catalogue but also not their worst. 60/100
