I can say the same with Mylo Xyloto too, and old Coldplay up to and including Parachutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 (edited) 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.Β 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 by lennyrott1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomotron Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 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. IΒ tried contacting Apple support about the issue but they refused to help.

Gob Bluth Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 On 11/2/2024 at 12:56 AM, Famous Old Painter said: It's just a joke about the current pattern of every second album being well received MX/AHFOD/MOTS - controversial/divisive albums Viva/GS/EL/MM - mainly loved by the fanbaseΒ I'll expand that a little further. 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.Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X AND Y Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 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. Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarbageOffice Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToniMoreno Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 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? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
