Why Chris moves back from working with the band altogether when it didn't finished? I think they finished the album (or whatever they are planning to release) and it's in post process so Chris moved back to LA because he is no longer has to be there in that process.
December 8, 20205 yr I think that the monolith thing IS something that Coldplay would do and is a brilliant PR stunt (if that's what it ends up being). However, I think this is a classic copycat scenario. The first one in Utah was estimated to have been there for years and technically it's installation was illegal. The next one is Romania looked very different. Then the next one in CA was again installed illegally. Now the one in England is again illegally put up. Coldplay wouldn't do a tease or promotion without working with the necessary parties. Most likely it's artists across the world doing imitations and playing into the hype.

December 14, 20205 yr I am late to this thread, have been away from this forum for quite some time, but was intrigued to join the hype about possible upcoming album. Could I be so bold and ask someone recap 33 pages of information down to: What do we know as certainty? haha sorry. That's too much to ask...
December 14, 20205 yr ^I can try my best... Here are my main takeaways of what's a certainty, sorry for not including links: We know LP9 WILL HAPPEN. An interview last year from an executive at their record label said the band is hoping to follow up Everyday Life with a more standard Coldplay album as soon as possible. The band has acknowledged the tease in the Everyday Life lyric book which shows a billboard saying "Music of the Spheres, Coldpay coming soon...." This has led most folks to assume LP9 will be Music of the Spheres, but we do not know this for sure. The band is in studio and has been in studio. Whether it was the iHeartRadio festival or the Instagram live performances, or Instagram posts from producer Rik Simpson, we know the band has been together and that means likely writing and recording. Some sub speculation. One Insta post from the band earlier this year showed a guitar with tape on it that said "Rescue St." which was a scrapped song from the Mylo Xyloto era. This seems to suggest Chris was playing it. During his solo Instagram lives, Chris hinted at a "new song" and "we have another song called UFO..." suggesting new music recording. On the most recent insta live with the full band, Chris mentioned wanting to be "let out of their cage," suggesting frustration over how long COVID-19 has persisted and his desire to perform live. Guy Berryman has confirmed in a few interviews that the band is working on their next album and are excited to tour but obviously want to wait out the pandemic and find ways to make touring more environmentally friendly (carbon neutral/negative ideally). Phil Harvey has been extra active on social media this year and seemed to acknowledge fan speculation on Music of the Spheres and confirmed "the race" will be released one day.

December 14, 20205 yr Coldplay (or at least some members of Coldplay) are in London, I think this is good and also quite exciting news!
December 15, 20205 yr Yeah I've really enjoyed the instagram lives this year. It'd be cool for them to do another one and actually tease some new music or even perform a new song to get the pot stirred going into next year.
December 16, 20205 yr GIVE US THE MUSIC GUY. I hope he says "me gusta" to the new music and not to his shoes & pants.
December 17, 20205 yr New theory. On their official instagram, they have been posting on reels for a while. Remember when we all thought we'd see them spell out MOTS but then they didn't? Well I think MOTS is going to be a "Greatest Hits" Album. Each song posted on reels will be the albums content. They just ended with what some would argue to be their best songs. "Viva La Vida," and "Fix You" Perfect finishers for a Greatest hits album. We may be looking at a December 21st teaser and a January 13th release. The 21st because of the alignment and then the new moon of January on the 13th. Thank you for coming to my TED talk Thoughts?

I think it could be a possibility aside from the January 13th release. That's a Wednesday and music comes out on Fridays. Also, I only think they would do a greatest hits album if they also added bonus unreleased tracks. They said they would never want people to pay for their music twice, but I could see them doing it if they also threw in a couple of new songs. Maybe some songs that are finished that they like and want to put out, but have no place on any album. Who knows, either way I think we will see them return sometime in the spring/summer!

They can do it like LeftRightLeftRightLeft. They can share those songs free on their website and for people who wants to collect they can release a physical version.

I don’t think quite like that. Maybe they realise an lp with work cut off from all past eras. But whether it’s that or a new era with big mainstream lp I don’t think they’ll realise something that they have already done. Edited December 19, 20205 yr by amazingnico
December 21, 20205 yr Finally, dropped the theory that today we were going to have a teaser. At least they have launched flags.
December 21, 20205 yr I think we can all agree that the album is not finished (since Guy posted a guitar from a session a week ago) and that it would be unwise to release it now. There is going to be probably no concerts in 2021 yet so I think they have enough time but if it weren't for the pandemic, there might have been something by now..
December 22, 20205 yr I don't like the idea of a Greatest Hits album. They have such a deep discography and nobody knows about their best songs, only the pop ones. Making a Greatest Hits album would just cover up their good songs more. I hope they go with @Shiver98s theory, but it's all up to the band. But i hope they release new music soon. Everyday Life has been the only album i've lived through (I started listening to them seriously in around 2018) and now i know how hard it is to wait for a new release?

I also started listening to them in 2018 and Everyday Life is the only era that I have lived. I would like the pandemic to end as soon as possible so that I can go to his concert for the first time. As for LP9, every time I see a theory I want it to be true but I think at least until March they will not release it
