There is one interesting pattern with their album covers so far. It's a rhythm of one having bright colours and next one having more laid back and pastel colour design. I don't know if it's intentional, but it kind of reflects in the music of respective albums as well somehow. Looking into future, I agree we might have musically chaotic future ahead of us. Also on the other hand it might not be that chaotic, because they seem to have developed their musical palate close to their maximum potential already. The facts are: there will be musical, which hopefully will have animated movie to it. I don't think it will be that crazy sonically, maybe some cinematic, atmospheric orchestral sound. we are getting album called Coldplay, which will have more acoustic, piano&guitar sound. "Back to basics" like Chris said. With these LP-s I don't see them using any extravagant production tricks, just what they have done already. But we also know there is going to be in total 12 albums, so in my opinion there just one LP, which has potential for further sonic development of Coldplay. I would say that a little bit depends on what they actually do with this MOTS concept - do they stick to it or have some more concepts before the final album. I'm really not sure if this MOTS concept has enough depth to carry through 3 volumes. I would be a bit disappointed if that's all they can think of until the final album, but I'm happy to be proven wrong with some amazing MOTS volumes. So I see three potential scenarios: MOTS having just an EP companion soon. A few additional songs to freshen up MOTS tour. And then we have LP10 & LP11, which are not MOTS related, but one of these is musical and one is something interesting... or maybe it's just a collection of reworked songs and finished old ideas. And then LP12 - Coldplay. MOTS indeed has two more full LP volumes, with vol 2 sonically a development of vol1 and vol 3 being musical. LP10 - MOTS vol 2, LP11 - MOTS vol3, LP12 - Coldplay. Just like the second scenario, except MOTS has just one more volume and musical is not part of MOTS. 100% I believe one of your three scenarios are likely. It'd be really disappointg if they didn't fulfill the "A Musical Journey in Three Parts" Higher Power video promise, but then again, the other parts like you said could be EP's or reworks of older songs. The musical is probably the funnest thing to speculate about at this point. I think Coldplay is at their best when they really lean into a concept and don't let their fanciful ideas start mucking up the pacing or sonic consistency of their albums. MOTS is a cool concept, but they kind of interpreted "planets" as being things of their own, unreleated to the others. A musical has to tell a consistent story, so I'm excited to see that framework. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, it felt like switching from various television channels to me. Each song was very different from each other. The Coldplay musical excites me; in my youth I had fond memories of watching The Beatles Yellow Submarine DVD with my Dad. If its anything like that or Interstella 5555: The 5tory Of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem ...I'll be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocklobster Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Hello all, First off, really sorry to potentially derail this thread, but I wasn't sure where exactly to put it, and thought since it was, at the very least, tangentially related to MotS, that I'd ask it here. Has anyone seen any pics of what the tour merchandise looks like? I generally like to buy at least one tour t-shirt and was hoping to get an idea of what designs are out there. My wife and I will be attending the May 6th show in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relatedly, does anyone have advice on where to stand, when to arrive, etc? When do they sound check? I’ve never been to a Coldplay show yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TealAppeal Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I hope a few clips will be re-posted on YouTube later however The Weridos (the alien puppet band) and Chris Martin are on Jimmy Fallon tonight. Just saw them give a mini interview. They talked about how Chris met The Weridos group. Apparently it was after he finished a manicure, lol. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakersonic123 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Haven't followed the band in months. I'm gonna see them today, and I got curious about the setlist, so I looked at some of the past shows, and I can't believe what I saw. Biutyful as a closer? Seriously? I mean, beautiful as a filler track for the album was okay, but as a concert closer?! Who the hell is advising the band?😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pansonic Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Don't know where to post this, but I think 'Heart on Fire' was supposed to be from this era. So...I came across the sample they used. https://youtu.be/ONPWfb85YLY VEC3 Special Sounds 034 Root B 138 BPM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be a single, and they tweaked the outro, so the ending of the concert wasn't bad actually. For me, it's just an odd choice given that they have plenty of other songs that could be better as closers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 For anyone looking in their crystal, what do you think is the likelihood the setlist will be significantly different - read - will Coloratura get played during the Latin American tour pt2? I feel like the first month of shows in Mexico was extremely instrumental and diverse in the songs - including multiple Coloratura performances, Gravity getting played. Yet when I saw them in Chicago, the most experimental thing that happened was ETIAW getting played the 1 time during this tour, and a cool cameo from Lupe Fiasco. But in terms of presenting a diverse slice of Coldplay songs, I was not satisfied. Therefore, I am seriously considering going to Argentina to see one of the shows there - but what if I end up going and not hearing Coloratura again? 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrow Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I feel like this album's held up very well. I haven't seen setlists from this tour but it's a rare thing to be going to see a band who are 9 albums in and to be every bit as stoked on the new stuff as you are the classics.

The only tweaks I see them doing are the potential local cover they'll do in the C Stage and maybe some Parachutes rare song in one of the brazilian shows. Regarding Coloratura, I have given all my hopes up of the band ever playing it again in a stadium show. But if it ever comes back I see it happening at one or two of the Buenos Aires shows.
