The Jordanator

42 vs Sparks

Like I’d said before, this Music of the Spheres might just be the album to set that record straight

Charlie Brown vs Life is for Living

ASFOS vs Orphans

Question: Do our reviews need to be track by track or can we do an overall summary?

I reckon Sunset has been clipped from the actual livestream video so this is the remains of the original livestream video just with a different name and thumbnail. Me and my family went to watch it the night after they performed it cause it aired at an ungodly hour, but we had seen sunrise live all good, anyways we saw the red line showing we had already watched it which didn’t make sense because we clearly hadn’t.

All I’m gonna say is that if the next time I see a Coldplay concert and they don’t play Arabesque then what’s the point of living really...

So being in New Zealand I was able to catch the Sunrise performance live but Sunset I couldn’t as it aired at 3am. Sunrise was by far the best The opening track was just the studio recording I was kinda hoping for the real orchestra but that’s ok. There were little flaws and nitpicks I could make about arabesque such as the sax solo timing and Chris and Stromae’s microphone not working thereafter. Apart from that, this was absolutely excellent!!!! Church was beautiful, and I got goosebumps when Norah stepped into the circle, Trouble in Town slayed and honestly was better without the police sample live, BrokEn was fantastic with the gospel choir, Daddy was nice, WOTW/POTP was even better than the album version and I laughed when Chris said he finished the lyrics finally, and oh boy Arabesque was just spectacular everyone I could tell was having the time of their lives performing it. Even the closing track was divine and that’s my least favourite song off the album. As for Sunset which I watched later, Orphans was an absolute winner out of this set, the boys rocked it! Bani Adam/ Champion of the world / Everyday Life were pretty great, Eko was even better with Jonnys guitar. The rest were okay but not as excellent as what i saw previously on sunrise. ratings: Sunrise Live: 9.5/10 Sunset Live: 7.0/10

Are we still on for mixtapes??

I hope it becomes part of some sort of B-side in an EP or something...

I hear background traffic noise haha

Imagine if X&Y had just been the shoddy failed version of Music Of The Spheres all along.....the album to fix that record

40 minutes! It’s 4:20pm in NZ you know what that means....!

Tell ya what this song is climbing up in the song rankings I am loving this acoustic Parachutes-esque little ditty

2024 is so faraway......it must be LP10

What happened to Church??

Fly On vs A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Church vs Adventure of a lifetime

Til Kingdom Come vs Oceans

Best: Arabesque Worst: That horrible track right after Arabesque

Low vs Daddy

This song is okay for me I do like the intro and how it transitions from the previous track But the riff I don’t vibe that well And there’s way too much reverb or chorus, I can’t even really decipher what the lyrics are half the time

I’m seeing a lot of complaining about this upcoming LP9 so far. I definitely think Coldplay will return to the pop direction but Coldplay absolutely nail pop in my opinion. Coldplay ‘pop’ singles that get played on the radio are far better than some of the other over produced garbage (sometimes) that gets played now days. i think it’s wrong to be judging LP9 before we even have a single taste of its sound, we all may be pleasantly surprised about what Coldplay has been bottling up

this is the one of the best things about this song and I sure hope Jonny goes for it when it gets played live
