* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The album focuses on this theme. Many songs talk about all the little things people appreciate in their lives, like "Adventure of a Lifetime," "Hymn for the Weekend," and "Amazing Day." It references Rumi's poem "The Guesthouse," a poem about embracing and appreciating everything that happens to you. Even the sadder songs, like "Fun" and "Everglow," have a message to appreciate good things while they last. It ends with "Up&Up" a song urging people to "never give up." The music videos showcase celebration and joy from many cultures.

* AdvertisedExtra:
** Music/ToveLo in "Fun". Though given a feature credit, she never sings any lines on her own and is really just a glorified backup singer.
** Music/{{Beyonce}}, who provides backing vocals in a few of the songs, appears in the "Hymn for the Weekend" music video.
* AudienceParticipationSong: The TitleTrack.
* CallAndResponseSong: "Adventure of a Lifetime" turns into this in its outro.
* CallBack: "Adventure of a Lifetime" is the band's second video involving animals discovering instruments and playing them after "Paradise" (although the "Paradise" video was just the band members in suits, "Adventure" has motion-capture monkeys).
* TheCameo: [[{{Music/Oasis}} Noel Gallagher]] provides the epic guitar solo on the outro of "Up&Up".[[note]]The solo has been cut in the radio edit of the song.[[/note]]
* EpicRocking: "Up&Up", which clocks at 6:45.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: "A Head Full of Dreams" -- "Birds".
* HiddenTrack: "X Marks the Spot", which starts playing after "Army of One" ends.
* LighterAndSofter: Especially in comparison to the moody and introspective ''[[Music/GhostStoriesAlbum Ghost Stories]]'', with ''A Head Full of Dreams'' in general being a more brighter and peppy album.
* LongestSongGoesLast: "Up&Up".
* LuckyCharmsTitle: The "(Colour Spectrum)" is listed on the CD and vinyl as a literal colour spectrum.
* MinisculeRocking: "Kaleidoscope" and "(Colour Spectrum)".
* NonAppearingTitle: "Hymn for the Weekend", "Adventure of a Lifetime" and "X Marks the Spot".
* ProductPlacement: The Beats Pill in the music video for "Adventure of a Lifetime".
* SerkisFolk: Coldplay in the video for "Adventure of a Lifetime", where they are depicted as monkeys.
* SurrealMusicVideo: Exaggerated with the video for "Up&Up", where they take the whole surreal factor to a whole another level, which includes Chris Martin and the band being absolute giants and lying on mountains and islands, a football match being played on a sponge, a volcano spewing popcorn, a boat travelling over New York, a plane dropping the solar system via parachute, horses galloping on water, a butterfly lying on a oil rig, dolphins swimming while a city is upside down above them, a man sunbathing on the moon, a turtle swimming in a New York subway station, two skaters skating on the second stage of a Saturn V rocket, a diver diving 30,000 feet in the bloody air, skiers skiing on a bed pillow, two planes flying either up or down with mountains above them and water below them, a man ironing on top of clouds, cars racing on the rings of Saturn, seals flying over New York, divers diving sideways off a building while walking sideways and a kid on a swing that is being suspended from ''the International Space Station''!
* TalkieBits: American poet Coleman Barks recites part of a poem called "[[Creator/{{Rumi}} The Guesthouse]]" on "Kaleidoscope", followed by UsefulNotes/BarackObama singing "Amazing Grace". The last recited verse of "The Guesthouse" is reprised in "(Colour Spectrum)".
