LisaFeehily Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Maybe it wouldn't be suicide, but they'd probably kill off a good chunk of their fan base if they continued with more of MOTS1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyrott1 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'll be disappointed if one of the MOTS volumes is a live album and right now I don't think one will be. Vol. 1 is definitely my least favorite Coldplay album and kind of pushed me away from listening to Coldplay over the past few months, but I'm hopeful they can do better. A lot of artists right now have been putting out albums back-to-back far more quickly than the traditional 3-4 year album cycle. We know Chris is a song-writing machine and recent AHFOD demo leaks reveal there's great songs that could still be revisited by the band. I think it's totally possible that Vol. 2 is a very alternative record (think more songs like Coloratura) and that Vol. 3 in a couple years could return to pop and collabs. This would please critics and fans and appeal to everyone over a 2-3 year period. If MOTS era is just Vol. 1, an EP and some live stuff, I'm really not gonna like it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tracks are real, though Break of Dawn is actually called Vampire Symphony. That version was also manipulated/edited by the leaker, they created the EP, mashed up together two different takes of Vampire Symphony and renamed it as Break of Dawn. The song is mostly accurate to its original version, though, but still not the original due to the mixing and the leak having those hideous filtered vocals. Thought you should know so we can avoid any eventual misinformation regarding the fake EP. Eh, how do you know this? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to do that alternative record, wouldn't it make more sense to release it with a different name and visual theme?

The fact that they released Magic as a single and not only was there no backlash but it charted at #14 on the Hot 100 tells me nothing they could do would be suicide. They put out just about the most soulless song I've ever heard and made $$$. Magic is great stfu 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TealAppeal Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I feel this topic is getting heated. I'll try and lighten the mood. Just saw on Coldplay's reddit section someone posted an old clip of Chris Martin making out with Spiderman. It was from an Saturday Night Live skit, made me blush.

CP-EST Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 So, they are still working on Music of the Spheres continuation pieces, but after that 3 more albums? This means all the volumes of Music of the Spheres will eventually make up one album? Anyway, that's a lot of music coming over the next years. If everything will go as they planned then 2025 Christmas will be quite an emotional time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustavothehuman Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 As far as we know, the other volumes of MOTS can be anything, they never explicitly stated anywhere that it will be albums. From what I understood in the interview, at least the "kind of a musical" and "back to basics" albums are their own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're separate, there will only be one non-MOTS album before the end of Coldplay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowCouldIForget Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Its interesting to think about. I mean they started recording GS in spring 2013, released it in May 2014 and then AHFoD came out in December 2015. I never thought they'd release two albums that close. I bet whether the global situation has improved by then will have a great effect. I'm up for anything that sounds like the early music, that alternative sensibility plus their modern, positive perspective. That would be fascinating.

johnnymax8652 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 this era is just exhausting, still no news about a 3rd single release nor a vol. 2 at least we had something new to enjoy in the meantime with the leaked demos (loving break of down and the race) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jordanator Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Coldplay are back on the promo run this month with this iheart concert and appearing on the Ellen show as they’ve done in previous album eras. Single should be out soon I guess. The tour is only a couple of months away too! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
