CP-EST Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It's difficult toΒ compare openers and closers separately. They all work in the album context really well. From openers Politik and Square One are the best songs for me. But considering how openersΒ work in stadium concert setlist,Β I think it's a tie between AHFOD and MX/Hurts Like Heaven - both are really effective and work well with visuals. Politik is the opener with the most depth and quality, but it doesn't let the band to connect to crowd that easily.Β AHFOD does a great job with involving the audience already on 2nd or 3rd minute of the concert + this legendary jump by Chris!Β It seems like almost everything about it was designed to be a perfect concert opener. I think MOTS/Higher Power could be a very effective concert opener as well, but probably not the best imo. For sureΒ the most danceableΒ andΒ energetic, feels like it's taking something from HLH and AHFOD both, but we'll see how it really works in context of the whole MOTS concert. About closers, again they all are good for their respective albums and most of the closers areΒ amongst the bestΒ Coldplay songs for me. Talking about using album closers as concert closers,Β I thinkΒ in a wayΒ Coloratura is the concert closer they have been moving towards all these years. It'sΒ symphonic, anthemic, cinematic,Β emotional and unifying the crowd at the same time, while the whole band shines playing it. In someway it combinesΒ all of the previous closers together andΒ it gives the mostΒ ethereal feel. This is the song I want to experience live, but I guess, thinking about the next Coldplay stadium show in the current pandemic situationΒ is pretty muchΒ still a dream in A Head Full of DreamsΒ and Coloratura is a place we dream about.Β ? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLostColdplayer Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hi! I saw you have been rating openers and closers from the albums. What about the artworks? They're all very beautiful (I love the fact that Coldplay pay so much attention to the design of their albums to make them a complete work of art), but I'll try to rank them, according to my personal tastes: 1) Ghost Stories 2) Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends 3) A Rush of Blood to the Head / Parachutes (I can't decide they seem to complement each other so well) 4) Mylo Xyloto / Everyday Life (I love the photo, It really seems to come from a century ago!) 5) Music of the Spheres (it may grow on me with time...) 6) X&Y 7) A Head Full of Dreams Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous_Old_Painter Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) I see that J has been rehearsing the Us Against The World riff. I wonder if it's just for fun or inclusion in future setlists. Have they been reworking it perhaps?
