Am i the only who gets a free as a bird vibe from the chorus of karate kid?

"whatever happened to the life we once knew" it's almost the same melody and very similar lyricsย 

Huh, youโ€™re right. Good catch.

    I suspect I'll forever have a bias with Moon Music. My heavily pregnant wife and I went to the cinema for the listening event, knowing it would be our final date together alone as a couple before we b

    Did a quick mix of iAAM, with Chris and the piano from the acoustic version and G+J+W from the album mix. It feels more Viva-ish to me this way.ย  Coldplay - I am a Mountain (classicplay mix).

And now they've released the Full Moon Edition, which has ten bonus tracks including A Wave.

Interestingly this version gives you the choice between MP3, WAV and FLAC. All of them are the same price, so there is literally no reason to go for anything other than FLAC.

If anyone from Coldplay reads this,ย please stop releasing new versions of Moon Music.

this is the first time ive seen someone from this fandom beg for them to stop releasing stuff LOL

Man In The Moon is super catchy. I also like The Karate Kid. I like the atmosphere of A Wave, cool ambient song with those tribal voices.

Interesting that Full Moon didn't come out as an EP...

I'm surprised they even brought out more material so shortly after the album's launch.

I hope there will be a way people getting those extra songs in physical format without buying the main album a second (or third) time again...

The Karate Kid reminds me of Life On Mars by David Bowie. It's an S tier Coldplay song and is easily the best song of this era for me.

The problem isn't them releasing stuff - far from it - but the way they've done it. There's now four versions of the album, which is a lot regardless. The way they released those four versions is really scummy though. As nice as the Notebook Edition voice memos are, if I knew that they'd be releasing a version with a whole live album (even if it is mixed terribly) and a version with bonus tracks that included A Wave, there's no way I would have bought the Notebook Edition. So when it arrived today and was the worst of the special editions I don't think you can blame me for feeling lead on by whoever is in charge of all this. If you want to have everything from the three special editions you'll need to buy the album three times. Then they double the price for the UK release and release two of the versions physically only in the USA, and can't send people the digital versions they paid for.

If they were determined to release all four versions they should have announced them all at the same time and let people choose. I would have gone with the Full Moon Edition, since the Notebook Edition is now a bit pointless compared to the other two special versions. Or they could have made a bundle with all four versions together.

Dropping the Full Moon edition two days after the actual album is very strange, no doubt, and I can't tell if there's a strategy behind it. Even something like Flags was withheld from worldwide release for a year.ย 

MiTM, KK, and the alternate versions of the album cuts were perfect for an EP six months from now, as a Prospekts March type drop.ย 

Another hopeful option is that they're banking other material for MoTS 3 and this was just extra stuff from the MM sessions.

Iโ€™m lead to believe weโ€™re getting a โ€œCrescent Moon EPโ€image.thumb.jpeg.8ef5a14ccb5b81a9cc2c9a7d881cc199.jpeg

Not sure how to feel about the theory of yet another album version or EP. It's been a chaotic release schedule but I can't deny enjoying the ride.ย 

I still am hopeful for tracks like M.U.S.I.C, Opus No. 5, Earthling, 2 Aliens and more getting final releases at some point.ย 

I like the production style for Moon Music overall so I'd love to hear more material from the era. Man in the Moon feels like it comes from the MOTS/ The Astronaut era, which I also enjoy.

Without a shadow of a doubt their best, most cohesive offering in 10 years. Maybe even 13 years. Maybe even...no, I won't say that yet. I need to sit with it for longer. But I'm extremely happy.

I feel you bro, since viva for me, their best since viva, and that says a lot.

I will give my review of the album later (spoiler: I loved it) but I have two questions: first, why wasnโ€™t Man in the Moon on the album??????? It may be my favorite on this record! Also, what the hell is the karate kid about? I know he is talking about the fictitious character Daniel, but he is saying I want to be the one for him? DOES HE WANT TO MARRY THIS FICTIONAL DUDE LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON Iโ€™M SO LOST???? Am I missing something or misinterpreting something please help Iโ€™m so lost.

I noticed MITM shares the melody from FLIFIL. Was there ever a tracklist with both songs on it?ย 

Bro I love both songs but you are right! Ainโ€™t no way these songs cannot co-exist (I mean both were still included as bonuses and no one cared that they were sort of similar). #JusticeforMitM

Good catch! And I'm all in.

MiTM probably the best song they've released since MX, literally loving it!

Same! I really thought iAAM would be my favourite but then came this sneaky son of a bitch and it's been on repeat since yesterday and completely stole the show.

seems like MM had alot of cut content which they're now putting out. It would've made more sense to have just one EP or just one deluxe version with all those extra songs instead of these multiple versions. it makes it feel like a taylor swift tortured poets midnights cashgrab situation

I wonder why they choose to make the album just 10 tracks at this point. They could easily add these songs and make 13 tracks.ย

This was thrown together in under 5 minutes, it's more of a demo than anything. I might to do a properly mixed version later.ย

Yeah, probably tomorrow ๐Ÿ™‚

It was a joke, obviously.

But with their marketing grab with two new editions after the Oct 4 release, I won't be surprised if theyย do that.

Man In The Moon is a decent song but the real star here is The Karate Kid. What a beauty of a song. One of Coldplay's best songs ever.

Moon Music if We Pray and One World and Good Feelings and FLIFIL didn't existย 

MM -Karate Kid - Jupiter - 2 Aliens - MitM - iAAM - Aeterna - All My Love - Neon Forest - Angel Song - A Wave
