lennyrott1 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I don't know if I really agree with the whole "rock is dead" ethos so many artists carry now. Chris has said that he feels everything's already been tried in rock, which still I don't think is true.Β Yes, rock is maybe "dead" in the sense it no longer charts on the Top 40, but as a rock listener there are still plenty of amazing, innovative bands out there right now. Also, importantly, you're seeing a resurgence of artists using old rock styles in pop music now. The 1975's new record is great and has some interesting rock-inspired tracks. Then there's Post Malone incorporating rock riffs and grooves into his music. I could go on... What we're seeing now is artists become genre-less in the age of streaming. There will continue to be really good rock songs every year hit top 40,Β but they might be from non-rock bands or pop artists doing a one-off rock track. If there is ever a group that could pull of a rock song and make it sound classy and timeless, I think it is Coldplay. So I hope it's true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarckozZ Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Haha guys, there's no need to say "this is gonna be like this or that", since we have a lot of time until the next album comes out and we don't know nothing about it but the mention of MOTS inΒ the booklet. We have theories, yes, but they're just theories in the end. Also, imma laugh out loud when MOTS comes out and it ends up being poppy as AHFOD XD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaspberrySwing Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Something I just noticed, I think Jonny has had a new song added to his ASCAP repertory. It's now at 235 songs, when it used to be 234 last week. I'm not sure what was added though. Does anyone have a list of the old songs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 So the exciting news on the Discord is that the track "Rescue St." is basically confirmed. It was originally on the tracklist for Mylo Xyloto but Chris said in an interview it had an acapella bridge that sounded like crap so they cut it. Contextually that conversation was about experimenting with Brian Eno, so always good to hear of more tracks that have his influence!Β BUT NOW -- we've seen in an official Coldplay social media post an acoustic guitar labeled "Rescue St." implying that Chris was recently working on the song.Β Personally, I'm excited to hear anything that originated during the Viva/MX eras. So far, Arabesque and ALIENS have been some of their best newer material, so I'm optimistic. But also, acapella sounds potentially more pop-oriented, and some of the pop during the MX era wasn't my cup of tea... so we'll see. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Iβm way, way behind on all of this, so excuse the curiosity: When was Rescue Street recently mentioned? I thought I wasnβt out of the loop, but I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They repeatedly said they did not care how well or poorly the album did. Theyβve passed the days where theyβre making music to βpleaseβ their label. This past era was not created in hopes of sparking a big success; it was purposefully tuned down to a polarizing, abstract degree.Β Β Coldplay is doing whatever they want now.

lennyrott1 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It's all good, should have included links but got wrapped up in work.Β Coldplay posted this photo to advertise Chris' last together at home show a few weeks back.

The Jordanator Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 So as it stands Theory A is that LP9 is called Music Of The Spheres, and essentially is MYLOXYLOTO2 What we expect to be on LP9 includes: The Race - Space Pop-rock reminiscent of Lovers in Japan U.F.O 2 - Not acoustic and possibly has potential for being a single based on how prominent it was in the MYLOXYLOTO artwork.Β Β Us Against The World - Silver Bird Version And now..... Rescue St - An acoustic song (based on acoustic guitar with song name and comment about scrapped acapella) LP9 could also possibly contain.... Car Kids - Coldplayβs biggest secretΒ Macadamu - Guys Instagram Live TogetherathomeΒ request and of course a lot of other new songs (it wonβt be all reworked material I hope) Basically,Β Music Of the Spheres = Galactic Pop Rock Β Β 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina* Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 From a new interview with Guy-looks like they're going to record as soon as soon as this is all over! Not exactly surprising but good to see it confirmed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I lean on the side of doubting it's a direct sequel to MX... but I am intrigued that there's another UFO and Chris said they'd release an updated UATW at some point... The band has never officialy released a re-done track so it would be new territory for them.Β 2021 is going to be the 10 year anniversary of the album, so maybe they do a reissue or something. But concerning LP9 or Music of the Spheres, I think that will be its own thing and they could just be recycling some cutting room tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaspberrySwing Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 The new version of UATW that Chris is referring to (Silver Bird) has technically already been released. It's on Amazon Music as Us Against The World (Live in Leipzig) and was released as one of the "singles" for the Butterfly Package. So, I doubt it'll be a part of LP9. Even with him mentioning U.F.O. and Rescue St., I feel like the band comes back to earlier "demos" often, keeps certain parts, but changes most of it. For example, Violet Hill ("was a long and dark December") and Arabesque (Jonny's riff) were based off of earlier "demos", but the end product sounds much more attuned to the era they were released in. I'm sure we'll be very surprised, as always, with the sound they come up with for LP9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
