This is produced by Avicii.
I love this! I have been a casual fan of theirs over the years, and I do adore the club mixes of their singles. I do appreciate that this is a good middle ground between Coldplay and Avicii's respective styles.

Not quite as good as "Magic," but I like it. This is shaping up to be an interesting album from them.

I was expecting something acoustic or downbeat, based on what I have read about the album. It may grow on me, but as of now not really here for this and Coldplay is one of my all-time favorite bands. Sounds like a total concession to me. They have been able to navigate the pop world really well and mix their styles with other pop artists (Paradise, Princess of China, Lost, etc) but this is too generic. Oh well. I'm still looking forward to the album!

Pretty basic, but the could do no bad in my book. "Magic" is of course way better.

Magic & Midnight are both better than this, though I still do like this.

"Magic" is better than this, but I love this still. Actually I've loved all 3 that have been released so far.

Finally got around to listening to this in full. I think I really like it? Like, it's missing that extra something that makes me want to download it, but it's very melodically pleasing. Certainly better than much of their other recent songs (bar "Charlie Brown") not to mention a good 50% of the pop chart. The type of song that I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to, but would definitely stick with the station if it came on the radio.
Seems to be holding up really well sales-wise too. Are they about to get their fifth second first top 10 pop hit?

Is this going to pop? ??? It was on a multi-format HitDisc compilation, so I'm not positive it was sent to pop yet, but it's fairly inevitable at this rate, so I moved it over a few days ago.

This is easily better than "Magic", which hasn't really progressed beyond don't-hate-it-but-don't-love-it-either status.

The album is up for streaming on iTunes this week. I dont get why Magic was the first single. Sky Full of Stars should have been single #1, Ink #2, Magic #3.

Horrible. 'Magic' is great, while this is just uninspired.

Chris Martin has 1 setting on stage when he's not at a piano: flail.

Top 50 on both HAC and Alternative. In fact the knocked out 5SOS and I'm kinda pressed about it.
