October 26, 20214 yr I wouldn't mind them stopping at album 12 if they're still playing live and making smaller releases like singles and EPs. It's much less stressful to promote than a full LP and it doesn't get as much attention from haters. Edited October 26, 20214 yr by gustavothehuman
October 26, 20214 yr I truly believe the last album will be entirely made (or at least feature) some of their unfinished or unreleased songs. Chris himself mentioned that they would release their past work sometime in the future and not as anything big but just something for the fans. As much as I would love to hear all of it, I hope it's still years away because I don't want them to stop making new music ?
October 26, 20214 yr Music of the Spheres is honestly imo, a really good album. I've read about 7 reviews and only one actually said something good about. But to me, this album is really great.

I think the album has a very cohesive theme. Just because you have a few lines in a couple of songs doesn't make it space themed. It's like saying the album theme is colour because you have Chris singing about colours. And most of the spacey atmospheric sounds are an after thought slapped on in the interludes. It comes across as lazy to me. ?♀️

Fit more along with the space theme than a lot of songs on MOTS too. but then again initially Everyday Life was pitched as a "double album".

I think they could have improved a lot on the songs to match the theme. They really missed the mark on this one.

I would be much more sad if they some day turn into something I don't like anymore. Also, the statement of Chris about hoping to be able to tour "like the Rolling Stones" is not something I really like. I'm not sure they can still create the same energy and vibe when they're in their seventies as they do now. But we'll see! Apart from this, I can't réally imagine a world without Coldplay. Ofcourse this would make me sad too. Just like sometimes I wish I lived in the sixties, to be able to see the Beatles live, etc. But then sometimes it suddenly hits me: "so happy to be alive at the same time as you." I really feel this with Coldplay, I'm so happy that I'm along for the ride since A Rush!

Also I prefer the name Don Quixote instead of Spanish Rain ?
October 28, 20214 yr After many listenings i have to admit that People of the Pride has become a strong favourite. I love it when they go that dark and nearly angry style. The production is great too, love all the little effects, especially towards the end. This song has written attitude all over it. Having a walk (..to the sound of my favourite tune^^) while it's on your headphones is really great for your mindset. AND Chris choreography live is just amazing ?

October 28, 20214 yr This is for all those saddened by Chris's 12-album statement (like me) with Love ?

I can't believe this interview was 10 years ago! On the one hand they have changed a lot, on the other hand they are basically the same, if this makes sense? by the way, MX has grown on me over time, it's not one of my favorites but I have re-evaluated it
October 29, 20214 yr Yes, but to me the “this might be our last record” does feel different to “we will make 3 more”. Because Chris has always explained that the first statement is more a state of mind, to put everything they have into the album. Now it feels like they really have thought this through. But we’ll see. From now on they’ll be full of surprises, right? ?
October 29, 20214 yr 9 hours ago, Bauk said: Yes, but to me the “this might be our last record” does feel different to “we will make 3 more”. Yes, this is true. But to me the latter sounds like "a band shouldn't go past its 15th year". Chris always says that he can't control music and that when a song comes he has to listen... so in case they stop making records, what would he do if many songs arrive? I don't want to believe he would just... let them go!
October 29, 20214 yr As I said before, I think they might follow a kpop-esque release strategy after LP12: mini albums and smaller tours, but happening more often than a regular album, which takes 2-3 years.
October 30, 20214 yr Just so people know, Coloratura and Let Somebody Go are being promoted as singles with their instrumentals. I bet one of those is the next single, I put my bets on Let Somebody Go considering how they promote it.

Coloratura as a single would lowkey make perfect sense right now, they submitted the song to the Grammys and promoting it during the next months would be a great campaign.

Also, I just saw that Jon Hopkins is credited as having participated to the production of the album (which is kinda surprising for me, I really wasn't aware he was still working with the band). Does anyone has any clue on its implication with this one ? Did he co-produced every song ? EDIT : just found the list, he was involved in the production of Humankind, Alien Choir, LSG and Infinity Sign. Edited October 31, 20214 yr by Freeze_Corleone

However I'm not really sure how could you narrow down 10+ minutes to be radio friendly ?
