This is a very good album. The interlude tracks sound really cool as well, some people might not like the under 1 minute no vocal tracks but they give you a chance to chill while you wait for the next song. The mixing and mastering of this album is really good and it sounds great with headphones. The beats, while mostly electronic, have some great groove to them, and the album opens strong and closes even stronger. This is probably coldplays best guitar album, their are incredible guitar melodies in this album.
