I cannot seem to find it ANYWHERE on the store and it's eating away at me! I did find it, but was basically ready something like that at launch, and got it ordered within the first few minutes. Link is at the bottom if you need it, but for me it says sold out. It is the EU store, but you can probably change eustore to whatever store coldplay.com auto-redirects you to. https://eustore.coldplay.com/products/infinity-x-everything-bundle-eu Edited July 21, 20215 yr by BerheavedTripod8 Wrong link

Damn, it keeps redirecting me to the US Store page, where the bundle doesn't exist. If I use a UK VPN, it gets stuck in an endless refresh loop of trying to take me to the US Store. What a mess!
July 22, 20215 yr What do we recon will be on Volume 2? Will it even be an album, or an EP, or what? So far I've got Original UFO, UATW2, The Race and possibly (unlikely) Car Kids. And I can't figure out if Alien Radio is an actual song or not.

Music of the Spheres I Higher Power Humankind Alien Choir Let Somebody Go Human Heart People of the Pride Biutyful Music of the Spheres II My Universe Infinity Sign Coloratura The placement of MOTS2 feels weird to me, I'm starting to think we might get two albums of twelve songs: Music of the Spheres Vol.1 - Tracks 1-8 (Orbit 1) / Tracks 9-12 (Orbit 2, Part 1) Music of the Spheres Vol.2 - Tracks 1-4 (Orbit 2, Part 2) / Tracks 5-12 (Orbit 3) It's better than releasing three albums and more convenient than releasing one album and two EPs, which was my previous idea. It wouldn't make them overexposed in media either. Guys!!! I was giving a look into my collection and this triangle symbol on Higher Power's CD is the same one from the MOTS poster they are selling. What if the second one represents the second album? I'm starting to believe in my own theory now! Edited July 22, 20215 yr by gustavothehuman

When I saw the triangle for the first time I thought that it could represent the 3 albums I'm still hoping that we are gonna get 3 of them, and not a mix of parts or lp+eps someone is theorizing about. We'll just see
July 22, 20215 yr If there was no ‘(vol. i)’ in Chris Martin’s message, I would have felt slightly underwhelmed with the amount of songs on the album (9 actual songs), but definitely good to see that there will be more editions coming, and a high chance they’ll have the unreleased tracks UFO, The Race and Rescue Street

These seem like spoilers as compared to a lot of us who would rather wait/anticipate as this thread was mostly intended to do? What do y'all think! Seconded.

Alien Radio was on a list during MX recordings so there is a song I think.
July 22, 20215 yr Making it a 2 or 3 volume album is a great way of dealing with the Covid-situation for both the band and the fans ?
July 22, 20215 yr Since all of it is a speculation, here's a plot twist... We already had volume 2 with all the versions and performances of Higher Power. ? Anyway, it's nice to see that Coldplay is giving us material for endless speculations and discussions to keep Coldplayers' minds busy. Can't wait to find out about the other volumes of MotS. Also I guess, with Max Martin included in songwriting process, more of the ideas could find their way to fully formed songs, so it's no wonder if they have been very productive and have music for more than one album. Not long to go until we can listen to Coloratura. Final songs of the LPs/EPs tend to be great and epic, so I guess this one is no exception. Considering they decided to use it in hand with album announcement as promotional song for the album, this must be really special. Also the way it's described and introduced so far. Phil describing the planet Coloratura being like heaven. Also the fact, that song has the same name as planet, although it's probably more like a nebula. Nebulas are quite complicated systems, they can even have their own planets. So, this kind of supports the theory that Coloratura is a transition song to the next volume. From the clips and information we have, soundwise it will probably be a piano driven prog rock symphony with Coldplay twist, where the whole band can really shine. Writing credits reveal that, they really go all in with strings (Davide Rossi and John Metcalfe). It's more of a speculation now, but the fact that Paris Strother from King is also included in credits, makes me hope for some prog rock spacy sounding keyboards. To put it short, I'm just imagining some mix of Everything's Not Lost, Hypnotised and Moving to Mars.
July 22, 20215 yr I am convinced that any further volumes will be EPs. They're gonna do a big tour for this album, and I just can't see them releasing another LP so soon after this one - nevermind two! Perhaps volumes 2 & 3 will make up the EP package to be released 6-12 months after the LP? Personally I'd be happy with that. New Coldplay music is new Coldplay music, and I'm not even convinced I'd want 3 LPs in as many years. I mean, I wouldn't complain, but if you ask me now... Edited July 22, 20215 yr by Yes?
July 22, 20215 yr Maybe I'm a little late in this, first time back on forum since a while. But is 0:34 in the trailer Muse x Coldplay? Or Nothing But Thieves?

It wouldn't make them overexposed in media either. this makes sense and it agrees with the 2 symbols on HP single package (triangle for album one and other one for album two) it would mean that My Universe video will introduce part 2, maybe next album will arrive Jan-Feb 2022 ? waiting for next interviews to answer all these burning questions...
July 22, 20215 yr Jesus, that BTS collab sounds terrible in trailer. On the other hand, Humankind, POTP and Coloratura really catch my ear. Not so sure about Let Somebody Go and Biutyful. Overall, i would say that album could be better than AHFOD, but i don´t really expect something like their older stuff in terms of quality.

Side note - A question for anyone who can help. When does the Coldplay store take payment for pre-orders? Is it as soon as I put the order through, or when the item is shipped/released? I can see another part 2 to the album. They kind of did that with Everyday Life. Plus they usually cut down songs when making the final tracklisting, so I could see them saving another 10 or so tracks for a volume 2. After seeing that 2nd symbol though, I am thinking it is only two volumes and maybe this is what they were referring to at the end of the AHFOD doc...

July 22, 20215 yr Really happy that John Metcalfe co-wrote Coloratura. Loved the strings on Everyday Life and always thought that the song was too short... So, for a 10 minute finale, I'm in... Is it pure speculation that it's Music of the spheres- volume 1 ? I didn't find the infos about that. I bought the infinite cd and vinyl on their website, but I find the normal version much better looking...

Did you listened to My Universe in full? It's actually quite nice.
July 22, 20215 yr Thanks... I didn't notice that. On Amazon France, if you buy the Music of the spheres, you get a free poster.
