Every Coldplay Album Ranked Worst To Best

Of all the band's records, Everyday Life is probably Coldplay's most ambitious album statement they have ever attempted. Everyday Life runs as a double album with two sections detailing Sunrise and Sunset. The album also has an nice mix of world music sprinkled into the traditional Coldplay sound.

Chris Martin plays to his melodic strengths on songs like "Church" and the heartbreaking ballad "Daddy." The track "Guns" also shows Martin tackling the ever-increasing problem with gun control across the world.

However, this is one example of an album that, while very good, had the potential to be something much greater. Due to the way the album's structure goes, each respective side tends to drag on for a bit longer than it should. While some of these cuts shine incredibly bright, the other songs seem like filler by comparison. Instead of an epic odyssey through world music, the record sounds like an album that is incredibly lopsided throughout its runtime.

If the best songs from the respective Sunrise and Sunset sections were put on one compact single album, it would probably be one of the best Coldplay records ever made. You might need to hit the skip button a few times, but this record is still well worth your time.
