November 13, 20241 yr Now that it’s been over a month since release, where do you all have the album ranked on your lists? Everyday Life Viva a Vida or Death and All of His Friends A Rush of Blood to the Head Parachutes Mylo Xyloto Moon Music X&Y Ghost Stories A Head Full of Dreams Music of the Spheres I think it’ll stay in the 5-7 range going forward.
November 13, 20241 yr Viva la Vida Ghost Stories Moon Music AROBTTH Everyday Life Parachutes X&Y Mylo Xyloto A Head Full of Dreams MOTS MM still has that new album smell so maybe it’ll leave the top 3 in a few months. But it has been the soundtrack to the biggest moment of my life so perhaps it’ll stay.

I can say the same with Mylo Xyloto too, and old Coldplay up to and including Parachutes.
November 14, 20241 yr Moon Music really hasn't broke my rankings in any meaningful way. It's a good album, but I feel after repeated listens that it still suffers from a lack of cohesion and has too many idea jam-packed into it. Clearly there was so much material and you can tell the band had a tough time consolidating it to under 45 minutes. And I do think the singles were really weak. We Pray didn't hold up very well for me and FLIFL is still a pretty big bore. The b-sides help improve the overall era though. Relative scores below, really could be a tossup for me on any given day. 1. Viva - 10/10 2. AROBTTH - 9.5/10 3. Parachutes - 9/10 4. Everyday Life - 8.5/10 5. X&Y - 8.5/10 6. Mylo Xyloto - 8/10 7. AHFOD - 7.5/10 8. Moon Music -7.5/10 9. Ghost Stories - 7.5/10 10. MOTS - 6.5/10 Edited November 14, 20241 yr by lennyrott1
November 15, 20241 yr Author I recently got myself an iPod (obviously) and I own Moon Music on iTunes but the album isn't complete. Because I own the Feels Like I'm Falling in Love single iTunes refused to download the album version. If anyone has the iTunes album version downloaded in high quality, I'd appreciate it if you could send it to me privately. I tried contacting Apple support about the issue but they refused to help.

I went to the one that opened at 12pm onwards and they didn't have the CD or the poster. I went to a different one after the show and they had both. Was so worried the CD will be sold out but they had heaps left. I wondered if anyone new about the CD (or the difference). 😄

I only found out they were supposed to be selling the CDs by a notice on the stage screens, not long before Coldplay came on. By then I already had my standing spot I didn't want to lose.

That's how I found out too but I went to all 3 shows so managed to get the CD on the second night.

The controversial/divisive albums in hindsight are mostly vanilla, with some exceptions within MX and of course, Coloratura. It may not be the intent, but they "feel" built for "Chris and his backing band" playing in front of 50k stadiums. Nothing wrong with that, and those albums and subsequent tours have made the band millions of dollars but it's limited, musically The other set have a level of technicality and musical craft that simply make them more interesting during multiple relistens. I still love listening to Genesis and 40 years later still enjoy those moments where I catch rhythm changes, drum beat or piano chords that I missed before. Viva and Prospekts, EL, and MM reward you for those repeated listens. 45 days after MM was released I caught some section of iAAM that I missed before and now that may have jumped in the song rankings.

November 18, 20241 yr The Karate Kid is the b-side of the All My Love 7", so mayyyybe AML is still technically the final Coldplay single? No it's not Chris is a liar
November 19, 20241 yr Author The 7" single looks really nice. I'm thinking about getting it, but the endless problems with the Coldplay store last time aren't filling me with confidence.

I think they struggle more with digital orders. I would get it if I were you. Honestly I am low-key excited for the music video so I can finally truly understand what the song is about (I have heard like 5 different interpretations and none have vibed with me, feel free to tell me some if you have your own theories)
November 19, 20241 yr I pre-ordered the single since I like both songs so much. Hopefully I have more luck this time with the correct order being sent. I expect it to be better now with the big album release behind us.

Both Music of The Spheres and Moon Music were delivered late (particularly the latter), and I had to have a month-long battle with their support to get the files that I'd paid for. I still don't have them, but I do have my money back.
November 20, 20241 yr Someone on reddit says Shine On is set for a surprise Christmas release, source being "a friend in the industry". Has anyone heard similar rumours? It's not really a Christmas song but they're clearly teasing something.
November 20, 20241 yr That "Shine On" sign clearly seen in the Karate Kid video is clearly not a coincidence. There they are wanting to send a message. Or play with the fans. I hope they release it in December but... with what format? In theory Coldplay was not going to release any more singles. An EP perhaps?
November 21, 20241 yr If the All my love 7 inch is released late december, I doubt Shine on will be available on Christmas. But these times, their planning is so weird so...
