the_escapist Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I don't want to give a final opinion until I hear the whole song BUT... It seems the boys have done it again! I am so happy to be alive and enjoy their new music once again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yeah, I'm a fan. I was skeptical with Max Martin producing, but this seems to be a very good mix of Coldplay and his pop-heavy style. If I had to guess, the singles will be dream pop, and I bet the other tracks are space rock (or in a similar vein). I don't love the lyrics, but I knew that when the lyrics were first being teased. It's not a big deal. Really excited for next Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dherlax Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Only a Jony Boy guitar solo can save this song that doesn't add anything new to the music. Β It will only pretend to be a commercial success and nothing more. Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westminster Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I was fully aware we will be getting something really poppy immediately after seeing their new outfits. So im not disappointed at all. It's what could have been expected, fair enough.Β We are all going through really hard and strange times - thats why they defintely nailed it, after what we can judge from the snippet. It's all about about hope and looking forward to better and more shiny days. Thats what this song will deliver, for sure.Β As a side note: I'm pretty sure the new record will also please those who are more into the bands older stuff, with maybe 2 or 3 songs. But overall, a stadium and radio-friendly album is what should be expected - with some new influences as well. But they wont re-invent the wheel. And thats good! ? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
