October 6, 20241 yr Can someone tell me the difference between Anglesong and the version on the album?

October 6, 20241 yr 1. Moon Music (Elodie) Just the piano bit from Moon Music. Nice enough but a bit pointless. 2. feelslikeimfallinginlive Don’t Care 3. The Karate Kid Far more beautiful than a song called The Karate Kid has any right to be. Excellent stuff. 4. We Pray (Be Our Guest) Don’t care. 5. Angelsong And just like that, my mix of Rainbow is almost 8 minutes long. Love it though. 6. Jupiter (Single Version) I THOUGHT WE WEREN’T GETTING ANY MORE SINGLES CHRIS. Anyway this is just the album mix without the outro. Kind of pointless. They could’ve included the electronic pop arrangement of Jupiter, or 2 Aliens. Missed opportunity. Cresent Moon edition perhaps? 7. Man in the Moon Glad this wasn’t on the album tbh, it’s a bit too cheesy. I’m really happy to have it though, it didn’t need to be leaked or anything. 8. I am a Mountain Piano version, sounds nice. More natural and Coldplayish than the album mix. I wanna do a mix of this which includes the other three though. 9. All My Love (Live in Dublin) Had this for ages. Nice to see it officially released though. 10. WHY THE EMOJI CHRIS WHY So glad this finally got an official release. Should’ve been on the album but whatever, it’s here. Yay!

October 6, 20241 yr I noticed MITM shares the melody from FLIFIL. Was there ever a tracklist with both songs on it?
October 6, 20241 yr Wow cool surprise but... why ? A Man in the Moon, Karate Kid and a Wave have their place on the main album, it would have given it even more texture. I don't understand their strategy. Edited October 6, 20241 yr by thomasPh

Should’ve been on the album but whatever, it’s here. Yay! Yeah I agree with this for the most part. I actually really enjoy Man on the Moon though, much more than FLIFIL. I wish we got Shine On instead of the live versions, which I don’t care much about. Or the We Pray version.
October 6, 20241 yr MitM - I think this will grow on me. After hearing all the rave about it, I'm not exactly blown away. That said, I would have this instead of Good Feelings or We Pray (as WP doesn't really fit with the album). A Wave - first time I've heard this and..wow! If these new songs were on the album, it would have been such a brilliant album.
October 6, 20241 yr Karate Kid has strong Elton John vibes Man in the Moon sounds a lot like Family Tree (AHFOD demo) to me
October 6, 20241 yr Author Good news: I bought the Full Moon Edition on FLAC, and not only did they actually send it to me, I got the right version!
October 6, 20241 yr Ok the more I hear MitM, the more I think it won't fit MM. It's like Flags of MM. 😄 Ordered the CD!
October 6, 20241 yr 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. Coldplay - I am a Mountain (classicplay mix).mp3
October 6, 20241 yr Why the hell they did not put The Wave at the end of One World, their decisions are quite baffling lately really.

October 6, 20241 yr This was such a huge surprise. I love love love Man in The Moon & The Karate Kid! I really want Shine On though… Something in my gut tells me it will be part of the musical.

The strategy is to have no strategy or they are playing at being aliens and that's why we mortals cannot understand.
October 6, 20241 yr Aeterna and We Pray are good, but not really suited for this album, unlike MITM or A Wave. With these two tracks and also Shine On, the album would have a creative texture similar to the VIVA album.
October 6, 20241 yr Crazy to me that Man in the Moon wasn't on the album. That one hurts for sure. Glad we get to hear it though. It's a fantastic song. 🙂
October 6, 20241 yr OKAY. So I was going to review what i thought of the songs after hearing Moon Music but Full Moon just came out?!?! So I'll do it as I listen to this version.... What in the Taylor Swift is this move though?? Disc 1 MOON MUSiC- Actually very good. Love Chris on this one, even as it is an odd start to the album. I really like it, its beautiful, and its lyrics aren't just Lalala so thats always a plus on Moon Music. feelslikeimfallinginlove- Not as bad as My Universe or Higher Power in terms of MOTS singles but come on. Its a sweet little song, but not interesting to me in the slightest and theres no reason to listen to it. WE PRAY- Although not my favorite song, its SO INTERESTING, reminiscent of EL. The only reason it might not fit on EL is that it's not acoustic-y. I really love this one, and with the features. It isn't boring, at least conceptually. My only dislike is that it just isn't that good, and ALSO has the Moon Music lalala's™. Jupiter- A tad boring, but it's pretty quiet and sweet. It's dreamy and relaxing, except the lalala's. The extra part of the song at the end is better than the whole rest of the song, in my opinion. GOOD FEELiNGS- I legitimately hate this song. It sounds like the Just Dance theme song or something. Its only good feature is the one verse with the other singer, other than those few seconds its like nails on a chalkboard to me. 🌈- Some lovely song snippets, not much of a cohesive song. I've seen that its a teaser for the musical? Very nice, but not really a song iAAM- I actually love this one. Its so cheesy and preachy lovey-dovey Coldplay garbage, but I feel well done. It reminds me of Humankind. That's good because I happen to like Humankind, at least its one of the tolerable ones in MOTS AETERNA- Also reminds me of Just Dance background music. Its just a dance song, barely counts as a song to me because when am I going to listen to it? When I am at an alien club? It also has a little snippet at the end, but that adds very little to it. ALL MY LOVE - Basic little love ballad. So sterotypically Coldplay-y its hard to take seriously. It does remind me of GS a bit and True Love, though, and does feel at least a little heartfelt, so its not so bad. However, its not special and HAS LALALA'S which are the bane of my existence after listening to MM a few times ONE WORLD- At the beginning I thought it was playing Hymn for the Weekend because of the birds. Its just fine. Coloratura-esque in terms of being the last song, but not as good. The "it's just love" part is VERY cheesy, but thats the best part of the song, and the harmonies there are really cool. As for the "hidden track"... it's just lalala's. I have to say, though, that of all the lalala's it's the best. Honestly my favorite part disc 1 despite having no lyrics and it is a lot like Cry Cry Cry. Disc 2 Moon Music-Elodie- Just as pretty as Moon Music originally was, simple. Only thing that makes me like it less is missing Chris's vocals feelslikeimfallinginlive- Honestly makes me appriciate the song a billion times more. Having the crowd interaction with the clapping is great for live shows. The song still isnt great or even that good, but in this context it works with the clapping mechanism, and it overall is better live. The Karate Kid- DANG. Best song of the album hands down. An actually good new Coldplay ballad?!!? Its good, and not just by the lowered standards we have for Moon Music and MOTS. Its the gift to the Coldplayers. WE PRAY- Be Our Guest- Its just a slightly different version of WE PRAY.... Angelsong- A little alien lullaby. It reminds me a bit of Daddy. Not my father, the song. I like having the long version of a snippet, but I do find it a little boring. Jupiter-Single Version- Just Jupiter without the ending part Man in the Moon- It's so MX! Despite being so love-y new Coldplay-y its pretty good, especially for being one of THOSE songs. i Am A Mountain- More listenable than the original iAAM, and I like it better EXCEPT it has a lot less energy, which I thought was cool in the original. For some reason this one was like going to make me cry. It's a lot more emotional. All My Love-Live in Dublin- Much little better live in my opinion, again it has more emotion to it. When played live you can actually get some soul into a basic and pretty boring ballad. I feel like a lot of the Moon Music songs have a canny feel, so live sounds better. In this version it is even clearer to me that "whether it rains, it remains" is awkwardly similar to True Loves "if you don't then lie, oh lie to me". 👋(A Wave)- We've been talking about this one for a while. Its a much better end song than ONE WORLD. Its a much better song in general. One of the best on the album. The perfect ending actually. Its wonderful. A Wave is great. Overall Disc 2 saves the whole album I was actually depressed over Moon Music being so bad, then this came out and I'm so glad it did but perplexed by the move to release all their good songs 2 days later. They could have just replaced the horrible ones in Disc 1 with the good ones from Disc 2!!! Anyway, those are my thoughts.
