• I haven't heard it, I'm not in much of a hurry to. What reviews I've seen don't suggest it's any kind of radical departure. In fact one said parts of it sound like it's generated by a ColdplAI algorithm that's digested their back catalogue. I've seen references to Jupiter being the best one, in line with what you said.

    Abandon all reason

  • It is a strange album. Nearly every song has some sort of pre-ending, and then some melodies and sounds appear that have little to do with the track. Jupiter is a good example, but also a couple of others. The final track is quite nice, but overall I am not convinced.

  • I am disappointed. Well, actually not that much, because I didn't expect a lot anyway. The last album was awful and there was no indication they would improve again. There are some bits and pieces on the new album that are okay, but overall it's just embarrassing for a band that has releases albums like Everyday Life or A Rush Of Blood To The Head ...

    cheers

    Christian

    Well, according to them you should prepare yourself for 2 more albums. They maintain they have always intended to stop after 12 albums, and this is their 10th.


    That said, the Doctor was only supposed to have 12 incarnations and they got around that, so... 🤷‍♂️

  • Now that the album is out - any thoughts?


    For me, it's ok. Jupiter is a nice song!

    I just don't understand those strange song titles ....

    It bores me, actually. Some of the bonus tracks are ok for me, but the album as suck is crap.

    ... any moment that we bring to life - ridiculous sublime

  • I lost interest in Coldplay a while ago and haven't bought of heard the last album, so I also won't buy the new one. They had their time, and that time is gone. Despite (or because of?) their huge success on tour ...

    ... there's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in

  • Not interested in getting the new album. Was VERY put off Coldplay after seeing them at Glastonbury on TV. I thought the show was bad. All the guests and fireworks were very unneccessary for me. I like to see a band play. I have seen one of their shows some years back, and even that was not one of the best I have seen.
