IThis makes a lot of sense. The spiral galaxy represents Mylo Xyloto, the earth represents parachutes.

the theory that each symbol is a coldplay record I think is one of the most compelling. In fact, the spiral can be seen in the menu of its website

GUYS COLDPLAY REGISTERED “MUSIC OF THE SPHERES” ON DECEMBER 4th!

Surely it's AT LEAST a song, then.

Between January and February we’ll have something 

In the same site there is also a registry for Mylo in Jonny's page that has registered on 11 December 2020

From what I've seen so far that Mylo trade mark is registered under different classes rather than music stuff, it belongs to jewelry/precious-semi-precious stones and everything related to it (well, one class says bags but they can be encrusted with such stones) this all pretty much makes sense because of his wife's business. The only question is why the rest of the band is indicated there as owners O_o @sa_spurs_tx

I'm sorry for my english... but i have a theory...

And... I thing that I have evidence that MOTS will be a part 2 of Mylo Xyloto. The neon colors and the space theme fit very well as a sequel to this album. Let me explain:

In the Mylo Xyloto's comic there are some vignettes (passages) as well as characters that refer to the name of the songs, for example: Aiko (unreleased song) Major Minus, Us Against the World, Car Kids (another unreleased song). Now from what I see they just registered the trademark 'Mylo' which is the name of the boy that appears at the end of the video "Hurts Like Heaven" (*Not to mention they are also working "Rescue St.") So, everything it seems to indicate that we will have a sequel. Or is what I think.

I agree. I think MOTS could be like a second part of MX

Perhaps MOTS might be a "spiritual" successor to Mylo Xyloto, but I don't believe it will be promoted as a sequel. The band have always claimed every album as a separate entity...each with their own motifs and genre if you can call it that.
Let's wait and see though. Hopefully we're in for a good surprise. As long as the music is good, everything else comes second!

Yeah, agree. They are definitely working old ideas from the MX Era, so the new album might be a spiritual successor to MX. Just like Everyday Life was a spiritual successor to VLVODAAHF in terms of soundscapes and album composition.

It's funny though just how much music came from the period when they worked with Brian Eno. Even 10-year old demos or ideas have made it onto new records...

I know the band have their own take on this but surely at some point to work again with Brian might work wonders for new sound. 

 

Interesting. It'll also be the 10-Year Anniversary of MX this October, so it's possible they are also working on a re-release or remaster featuring some unheard b-sides. But I don't know. Coldplay doesn't strike me as a band that would do a re-release, greatest hits, or a sequel to a former album. 

Overall I'd be really excited if the Music Of The Spheres is a spiritual sequel to MX mirroring VLV and EL, @I ran away

I still predict MOS will be a pop rock album that has some singles going for a shiny, atmospheric 80's revival vibes and dance grooves. Given the success of The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, etc, I could envision Coldplay bringing back the sounds of New Order, Duran Duran, A-Ha. MX had some 80's/Springsteen elements imo, especially on charlie brown.  

I agree. I am currently hooked on the sound of "After Hours" n' "Future Nostalgia". It would be great if Coldplay follow the same atmosphere. It could be a bonded success... and maybe The Race will find an album that fits...

ups

I was wondering whether anyone thinks that Music of the Spheres will be put on hold, and another LP will be released before it? I was anticipating that MOTS was going to be a large touring album, but as Coldplay-sized tours seem very unlikely at the moment, maybe the band have used COVID times to work on new, different material that may be more suited to release without touring. Thoughts?

Actually, I think this has more sense that a Greatest Hits or a reworked-songs album. Maybe some old demo ideas could be useful to release as an album with no need of an extensive tour.

EL is the spiritual successor of The Wedding Album... 

So my theory is this: I think Coldplay planned on playing a bunch of shows and festivals in the summer of 2020 so they could tease the new songs before releasing “MUSIC OF THE SPHERES” in October-December. Very similar to how they did MX. but covid ruined that.

I would love for them to pull a Taylor Swift and drop two albums next year. I'm sure they have enough songs to scrape together. But I doubt it... they probably have a big rollout plan for Music of the Spheres (or just LP9) and tour ideas ready to go that they want to stick to. 

I remember there was a twitter account that was giving hints about MOTS and it was saying that "Music of The Spheres a two part journey to the stars" or something like that. So maybe it's a "real" double album concept (Everyday Life is not a double album properly). That account shared a snippet of beginning of The Race before all the leaks. So this info can be legit.

That account was just a joke, and the snippets were here like forever! We have to accept the fact that account was just someone craving for attention XD 

 I think the band will probably release something in 2021 certainly, however they have always toured straight after releasing it (even with no "real" tours for GS and EL) and I just don't see how even with massive vaccination all around the world, there will be concerts in 2021. Of course maybe I'm totally wrong (I wish I was!!) but I think realistically, we can see them live only on tv or some pre-filmed thing. Surely they would have loved to have really done something special but anything will be brought back a little. A lot of bands will prefer outside venues which might not be as prohibited as concert arenas. But everything is a wild guess now. 
 

Since Coldplay always provide an "era" I can see why they don't have to do anything until they can at least properly do a few shows and promotion...it would make no commercial sense to release it now however look at Taylor Swift, who's done amazingly well, the same will got for Adele and the likes, the covid situation is here to stay for at least another year and they could go any way they want to. 
As I fan I just want new music and I will buy anything they do because it is going to be amazing in any case!

^Well said. At this point the COVID crisis continues to reach it's worst levels here in the U.S. and there still could be more political violence.  From an artistic standpoint, I wonder how Chris' songwriting over the past year and how that might affect MOTS, assuming it would be a more pop, happy-go-lucky sound. 

I agree that the next album cycle won't role out until there's enough time to announce and plan a tour, which could easily be in 2022 at this point. That said, I always wonder what prevents the band from releasing other music in the meantime. Like imagine they drop an EP this month that has some dark/political songs inspired by recent events, or some unifying song that ties into the global pandemic. Then they could move on to the new album cycle when it makes sense. With so many artists releasing a ton of music and b-sides and remixes this year, idk why Coldplay tends to be so secretive and quiet.

When they are waiting to release something i think they are not just waiting they continue writing songs. That means they can release an album and a big ep or two albums. Because there will be so many songs waiting for to be released.
