Coldplay's full surrender to festival-pop maximalism: pastel synths, a Beyoncé feature, and choruses engineered for fireworks cues. "Adventure of a Lifetime" works as pure dopamine, but the record trades the band's old ache for relentless uplift, and the songs thin out under the confetti. Pleasant, weightless, instantly evaporating.
