A lot more fans liked the record, but critics are still lukewarm after MOTS. Until 2021, their albums on Metacritic still received many positive reviews despite total grades in the lower end: Mylo Xyloto had 17, Ghost Stories 11 and AHFOD eight. Both MOTS and MM failed to get five or more good scores, which is terrible considering how inflated ratings are these days.

This also ties into a complaint I have: it seems the band are trying to make a pop equivalent to Everyday Life, but it's not working. Past commercial albums had better feedback because they were more cohesive, while LP8 had analogue instrumentation to organize things. You lose that in the synth-pop realm.

With all of that said, I still love Higher Power!

Moon Music was a real letdown for me. I hope the next album is better than the last 2

Wronguy is whats needed for coldplay success

It can't beat coloratura though

It's the two best songs on the album. Coloratura being the greatest in their 28 year old career.

Moon music is less bad compared to MOTS but, I think they could have made just a double album with MOTS/MM like EL. And then it was released in the middle of a tour, so the promotion was necessarily much lighter.

M.U.S.I.C (seoul soundcheck)

World Without You (seoul soundcheck)

Weirdo

Robots

Teardrops

UFO pt2

Earthling

Tomorrow (ik its low chance but im sneaking it in cuz im a huge fan for this one song)

The Race (istg if it doesnt make it in again)

2 Aliens

Leaked image of coldplay preparing to ambush Wronguy. At the event.

There's no chance Tomorrow will be released because it's been reworked into Fun

I don't think it's aliens will be released either they wouldn't have put it inside Jupiter

I highly doubt they are going to put songs that were already recorded on a new album

I'm not too sure about that either, I just hope that the unknown rehearsed songs, like this one from a soundcheck back in April last year, made it onto LP11. Sounds so good.

Most of their new songs is actually made during soundchecks

Actually, it´s very common, they have something that didn´t fit on that album, or couldn´t get right, and they could go back to that track and rework it till they´re sure about it. People of the Pride is a great example, and lots of bands do the same thing.

The EL version of Arabesque is a completely different version from the wedding album version (the olive tree version)

yeah ik im just a huge fan of that song. One way i thought was possible was if they reworked the intro. Removing the first beat actually gives a completely different riff of the same thing, like it flows differently.

for 2 aliens its interesting cuz i thought it would be considered a snippet teaser just like how some snippets were from alien radio. examples with man in the moon, karate kid and angelsong

right its alot better than alot of the songs weve heard from the band in the past couple years. idk prolly one of their best in a while imo.
i have a feling they will make it onto the New Moon edition of the album (EP) tho i highly doubt its real

And I just gave you the example of People of the Pride, that comes from the VLV sessions. They rework the songs, change lyrics (or not), but it´s not strange at all. It´s very naive to think that all the songs in an album have been created the previous two years.

Moon Music era is pretty much over. If we get anything from the soundcheck sessions, it will be on LP11.
