the_escapist Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 What is Chris singing on Infinity Sign? Also, it seems that the transition between Infinity Sign and Coloratura was poorly done - it sounds so abrupt... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Coloratura is perhaps their best album closer ever! WOW 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastwars Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I need to give it another proper listen, but for now I can say that Biutyful and People Of The Pride are the worst ones for me. My favourites remain Coloratura, Human HeartΒ and Higher PowerΒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP-EST Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Been listening to leak, quilty. Since everyone already discusses and writes about it, I'm adding a few thoughts. To start with, this album feels like a great journey and it flows surprisingly well, although it's quite eclectic. Definitely the concept of this album is very strong. Starting with with very high energy MotS->Higher Power->Humankind and then middle part is exploring some pretty diverse places and styles. Infinity Sign taking us into more dreamy and ethereal frequencies and then going into heavenly Coloratura.Β But oh that production! It's about the taste if people like it or not, but it's definitely their strongest and most varied production so far. They haven't been afraid to make studio versions of the songs sound like they should and let guitar and other stuff shine more in live performances. Also vocally it's their greatest. Let Somebody Go, just wow.Β I can see Max Martin hasΒ been giving some great advice and pushing Chris and everyone else to sing to their limits. And I love that everything somehow has very human and liveΒ feel, I get a feeling ofΒ themplaying together and Chris saying some phrases like "alright", "yeah" etc, for example in Humankind. Depth of songwriting is certainly a bit shadowed by all this, I think, but it definitely gives some great songs for stadium concerts. Humankind is definitely great euphoric stadium rocker and People of the Pride is just crazy.Β Edited October 14, 2021 by CP-EST 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give the album credit - aside from Biutyful there's no directly offensive songs unlike, say, X Marks the Spot or SJLT. Its production elevates it similar to GS but IMO Mylo is still their greatest "poppy" effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskapist Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Let Somebody Go is aΒ little diamond imo... That's the Coldplay I want to hear at least once in every album. You know, when Chris sings you simple things with simple chords but it touchesΒ your soul more than anything.Β 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigBadBono Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Also after a few listens (I caved in a few hours ago) Biutyful doesn't actually seem bad - the instrumentals are nice and the voice is actually much more palatable. But the starting threw me off instantly the first time and the ending just sounds... uncomfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think this is there weakest album at the moment. Most tracks sound simply boring, hope the sequel sounds better. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkovsky2 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) I like a lot of songs here, most of them actually for this or that reason, but somehow the album feels so short, i just started listening and here comes coloratura ahahh. I imagine myself listening more tracks individually from this album, cause somehow i cannot process it in this speed fiesta of an album. This album should be called THE RACE, as that is what it is, and the race thing will be finished for goodΒ Edited October 14, 2021 by Tarkovsky2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the reason for this is that we are getting Volumes ii and iii rather soon. Right now I am really enjoying Humankind, LSG, POTP, Beautiful and Coloratura, obviously!

EmiTurambar Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I'm new to this forum so,HI! I reallly like this album but I agree with who said that is a kind of short album.
