🌙 Coldplay: Moon Music 🎵 | Out October 4th | Discussion

[gustavothehuman]

As for their label pushing the album hard, I need people here to remember that being a musician is still a job. Coldplay have a brand to maintain and so does their partners. Moon Music was the only #1 record from Atlantic in the US this year.

Could you name any examples?

Taylor Swift dropped a full album and then an entire second album set of b-sides while being on tour, Charli XCX dropped a full album and then a full remix album that drastically changed the existing songs, Post Malone's album had an extended version that was nearly twice as long, Metro Boomin put out two related albums back to back, The Smile dropped two albums. 

I'm not necessarily saying I expect Coldplay to drop another 10 brand new songs, I'm very happy with the three we got. However, I think it's the fact that Moon Music teased so many other songs (Opus 5, 2 Aliens, another version of FLIFL, more of the Rainbow Suite). Those took up space and time in Moon Music, and I think it contributes to some critique of the record that they're trying to pack so many ideas into a short run time. If they just released all of those songs seperately, then we'd be able to enjoy them on their own merits.

We'll see if that happens!

It seems like there are two extremes. Some artists releasing more music than ever and many other releasing less than ever. Plenty of artists I like are releasing albums in the 25-35 minute range. I'm guessing that's to get out compact releases to catch attention in the era of tiktok scrolling and short windows for peoples' attention in the modern era. 

In that regard, then, I'm ecstatic that Coldplay still aims for 42-45 minutes albums today. And as much as I'd love to hear the full versions of many of the songs that were presented in pieces on the album, without that restriction we probably wouldn't have gotten Alien Hits/Alien Radio, which is nothing short of a masterpiece. 🙂

Have you watched the Christmas concert? It was really surprising for me how good Chris ´ voice sounds, I guess having a shorter setlist lets him give it all without any trouble.

I guess they'll have to write that Quantum of Solace theme I joked about a while ago...

That´ll be great! I guess it will not arrive before 2028 or around…

Chris has now said that LP12 will be a homecoming with the safety EP cover redone

Chris has said that Coldplay will only put out two more albums. I’m glad to hear that that’s one of the ideas that’s percolating for the retirement period.
Yeah, I know. I mean, Chris is such an unstoppable force of nature creatively, so let’s see what happens. There’s so many things that have crossed my mind, like, “Well, maybe the last album can come in five parts or something like that.”

Really annoying that 4K Video Downloader can't download this. If anyone figures out a way to download it in 4K please tell me.

Edit: Figured it out. Used the inspect panel to find the video link, then copied that. The link that you get from the share button on the video does not work.
