Coldplay - Music of the Spheres [vol. i] (October 15, 2021) Album • Page 2

Can’t wait.

Although, does anyone know if the song they played at the online Glastonbury is on this? Can’t remember what it was called.

 

Track 6

 

didn't really like the single but cautiously interested

crazy few months for music comin up

 

didn't know there was a thread, cautiously optimistic

 

Ah, the emoji!

 

Has there ever been another band or artist who has worked with Brian Eno and Max Martin?

 

Haven't decided if I'm going to listen to this yet. But here you go!

 

Gonna listen when I get home, very curious what this’ll sound like

 

Damn it’s 10mins long. Is it actually?

starting now

 

Torn. I’d rather not stream to closer, but I’m into the premise of the song and Higher Power hasn’t clicked with me.

 

Wow, I dug that one a lot. Gonna post some thoughts for those who may want to hold off on streaming the closer, but would like to know the vibe. I'll spoiler tag for those who want to go in blind.

Definitely getting ROBTTH vibes throughout a lot of this one, particularly once the drums kick in. Some callbacks sonically to it and X&Y (that organ synth especially) and has some experimental stuff happening that I feel like they haven't tapped into as heavily since Viva La Vida (meter changes, borrowed chords, etc). Lot of new ground too, weaves in and out of what I'd describe as a space film score. Im a fan and hope there's a lot more like this on the record.

 

Oh wow, yeah this is great! Definitely VERY different from Higher Power lol so I’m wondering which one the album will lean more towards if either.

 

I like this. Feels like a collision between A Rush of Blood to the Head era and Ghost Stories.

 

The ultimate power move. Coldplay is back with a vengeance.

I don't think an album has been this realized sonically/visually since Viva La Vida. It checks off all the boxes and I truly didn't think I would be this hyped for a Coldplay album ever again.

 

Damn, I'm loving this song. And I hated Higher Power.
I hope the album leans more towards this sound.

 

Super cool S'gum article that dives into the music theory behind "Coloratura". Great read for music nerds and Coldplay fans alike:

A Composer Breaks Down The Music Theory Behind Coldplay's "Coloratura"

 

Yes please haha

 

BOP

Hope this blows up.

 

THIS RULES

 

I wanted to hate this, but I have to admit that it's a pretty solid bop

 

This one is a miss for me.

 

Man neither of these last two teases are working for me. Still holding out hope!

 

I have no clue what I'm in for with this album. I loved Coloratura, and I like this clip for the Selena song. But I hated Higher Power, and pretty indifferent to My Universe.

 

I don't want to be a party pooper, and it seems like a lot of people like these songs - but I am starting to feel like this album is going to make me appreciate Everyday Life all the more...
