Famous Old Painter

Both sound fine to me

I get why people want desperately Life is Beautiful or Lukas or whatever, but why the latest mix of Good Feelings? A demo is out in full, and we're all gonna hear the final mixed version in a month or two anyway.

Someone could set up something like r/coldplayleaks as well as a discord server. Coldplay are one of the biggest bands in the world (much bigger than Brockhampton for instance and they pull it off comfortably) so there’d surely be enough fans to make groupbuys really easy. The issue becomes making enough people aware to make the proposition viable, but not so many that people get in trouble.

Artists like Brockhampton and Kanye West have communities where fans team up to raise money for groupbuys. Maybe it's something the Coldplay fanbase could consider.

Most double albums are boring and bloated with filler. I’d rather a band like Coldplay take The Smiths approach, and release big b-side compilations alongside their albums.

So that makes One World, Neon Forest and A Moon Song I’m excited to hear. Moon Music might just be salvageable yet.

I've seen it speculated (and this could be bullshit) that they've been working on MOTS3 at the same time, and that Moon Music was delayed so the two releases wouldn't be far apart. Which would make sense if they're still aiming to get all three albums out by the (I guess) 2027 deadline.

Is this in order?

Other than Neon Forest, are there any other more understated songs being considered for MM along the lines of A Wave, One World, Earthling, Human Heart, Infinity Sign etc?

I hope they release Neon Forest, sounds great from the descriptions so far

Ambient Aeterna sounds like it might be cool, I hope they release that.

Yep, basically Warner assumed I was uploading the recent leaks (which I wasn't, they were re-creations, but it's not like they were going to listen to confirm that). If I get one more copyright strike I lose my channel, so the Coldplay stuff had to go. But when my two copyright strikes expire in a few months, I'll upload most of the stuff again. In the meantime, I've put it all up on Google Drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YwwLsKFdhXPcwBYZGUfzKJwIu1IQ4ysU?usp=share_link

Not saying you're wrong at all, but man Azealia Banks is like, the least reliable witness in the universe

I mean if Dave really wants to get back at his old employers, I know a certain website I could direct him to

The last half a page has just been Admirice talking to himself. You alright mate?

You go on and on about how much you've done for the community, and how we should all be thankful towards you for the leaks. But you then say how you've never leaked anything and never will, and that the people who leaked the music are the bad guys here. But surely if I was to be thankful to anyone for sharing things with the community, it would be the leakers? They actually shared the stuff. Your contribution to the community is engaging in at best, dodgy and immoral business practices then keeping everything for yourself and bragging about it. Again, enjoy your collection. Do whatever you want with it. I don't care. But quit trying to frame yourself as the good guy here.

I'd take your own advice.

Well considering $0 of that is going towards the band for their hard work, I would

You've been the biggest whiner in this thread, and by a long way. If you want to move on then move on. Enjoy your collection in peace.

I wouldn't spend $20k propping up an illegal business, no.

Unless Chris Martin personally sat you down and gifted you access to the entire Coldplay vault, you've been stealing from the band. I'm not going to applaud someone who's a thief, regardless of the amount of "work" you put into stealing stuff. Because you're right, they're not your songs. They're Coldplay's at the end of the day.

The lack of self awareness here is staggering

It doesn't have Infinity Sign for a start.

I really want MM to be better but nothing I've heard so far has given me optimism. Jupiter and Good Feelings suck. UFO bores me. Robots makes me cringe. The Only One is pretty good but I'd rank Higher Power, Humankind and Human Heart above it. One World is bloody brilliant (as is A Wave if that's still on the table) but it's no Coloratura. I'm hoping there are some secret masterpieces we don't know about.
