Critics name the most influential as the best album of all time, for people various reasons can constitute for naming a particular album as the best they have ever heard! For me this album is the best i have ever heard! Now before you close my review saying "this is just another coldplay fanboy read further". This album is the best i have ever heard because of 3 reasons 1) This album practically introduced me to good music! 2) This was the album i heard when i was passing the most emotional stage in my life! 3) This album is really good. I come from a place where english music ain't that famous and what was famous never appealed to me! so i started playing games instead. Then oneday i heard every teardrop playing somewhere i instantly used shazam to see which song it was and downloaded it. I listened to it over and over again! When the album was launched i bought it immediately and i was hooked. I listened to it for almost two months without listening to anything else! With my sister leaving home to study abroad. Me going to a completely new school where i knew no one, this album supported me to get through the day! This album basically introduced me to dark side of the moon, abbey road and ok computer i've listened to all of them over and over again, but when i returned to this album after six months i was left in tears! Thats why this the best album of all time for me! That is my opinion. That was the emotional aspect of the album. now for the musical aspect. I've also heard all coldplay albums I have to credit the band for changes in their style with this album. They didn't change like radiohead did with Kid a but they did experiment. Musically a lot of this album is johnny. These are my thoughts on the various tracks- 1) mylo xyloto/hurts like heaven- These two can be clubbed together mylo xyloto a startup to the guitar heavy hurts like heaven. Mylo xyloto is basically a simple tune on the xylophone. It opens into the really good johnyy inspired hurts like heaven. This song has a really great guitar riff and is basically a good song. A 4/5 from me! 2) Paradise- Everybody knows this one! Its the most watched video on youtube of coldplay! opens with the piano and guitar when heard is really good! the choros "para-para-paradise" is also good and coldplay concert anthem! A 4.5/5 from me 3)Charlie brown- This one is also a thrid successive energetic track! though chris martin got a little sloppy with the lyrics and no proper chorous inclusion this one still sounds really great! A 4/5 from me! 4) Us against the world-This is possibly the best song on the album for me! chris martin making a statement that he can still pull off a ballad with this one and the lyrics are also really good! A 5/5 from me! 5) MMIX/Every teardrop is a waterfall-These two cant really be put together but since MMIX is just a tune I put it with every teardrop. what can i say about every teardrop this guitar heavy song with those lyrics and tune changed my perception about music i give it a 5/5. 6)Major minus-This one has jhonny written all over it! the only proper coldplay solo it wont achieve the greatness of pink floyd solos but it certainly is good! And if you ignore the guitar you'll find probably the best lyrics chris martin has witten! A 5/5 from me! 7)UFO- This one is the most underrated one. though short it is absolutely stunning! chris martin sounds awesome and the lyrics ain't bad at all! a gem a 5/5 from me! 8) princess of china-This one was probably controversial. coldplay decided to call rihanna over to their studio to help them. but can i say they really sound good together. a 4/5 from me! 9)a hopeful transmission/ Dont let it break your heart-A hopeful transmission is probably one of the best tunes i have ever heard! its really light and it relaxes you the instant you listen to it.It breaks right into dont let it break your heart. No soft starts for this one starts directly with this one guitar riffs start this one and that is not a bad thing at all! a 4.5/5 from me! 10) Up with the birds-this one starts with chris singing a slow para but this ends as a completely different song credit goes to jhonny for taking this one to another level! And preobably the best line chris has ever written! "good things are coming our way" a 4.5/5 from me! Though this album won't have the same affect on you as it has on me but its a must listen for any rock fan out there! i recommend this one to everybody! a 5/5 from me!Foo Fighters Wasting Light4.0Interpol Turn on the Bright Lights4.5Jake Bugg Jake Bugg4.0Justin Hurwitz La La Land OST5.0Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV5.0Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin4.0Led Zeppelin Celebration Day5.0Linkin Park Living Things2.0Linkin Park A Thousand Suns2.5Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight2.0Linkin Park Hybrid Theory3.0Minipop A New Hope3.0Oasis Definitely Maybe4.0OneRepublic Waking Up3.5OneRepublic Dreaming Out Loud3.5Pink Floyd The Wall4.5Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon4.5Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here5.0Radiohead OK Computer5.0Radiohead In Rainbows5.0Radiohead Kid A5.0Radiohead The Bends4.5Radiohead The King of Limbs4.0Radiohead Amnesiac4.5Radiohead A Moon Shaped Pool5.0The Beatles Revolver5.0The Beatles A Hard Day's Night4.0The Beatles Sgt.
