Totally agreed! And I’m convinced that some bits of Coloratura came from Ghost Stories era. The guitar solo has that “True Love” feeling, and indeed, the MOTS Part I is basically the same pad texture that is before “Always In My Head”. When I listen MOTS I in some part of my mind I wait for the AIMH starting. So… yes. It sound like a natural transition. Cheers Doomotron.

X&Y is an incredible album. A balanced adventure between space and humanity lyrics, that “acoustic” thing (from early Coldplay), and synth/pads with exquisite presence. And the first with an alphabet in it. But even that, there is an interview (that I can’t find it again now) when Chris confessed that is their worst album, not because of the songs, but because it was “bad recorded”. For me it’s a masterpiece. A particular contradiction, is that Twisted Logic was never performed live. In a performance of Chris with talented kids doing this song, Chris said that they never figured out how to do it live… they can did Coloratura, but not Twisted Logic ? Anyway, thanks TheLostColdplayer for bringing X&Y to the light again!.

Well, I remember when this thread started with lot of theories about MOTS. Even I shared a NASA-centric theory. Nothing more wrong! ? Approaching to Release Date (and eventually the end of this thread), just to share my happiness with all of you. What a luck that our favorite band still creates chord for us. And what a luck that us, in this space, from different parts of the world, different ages or ethnics, was united around it! Diversify is the key of the world. Having said that, and having finished to listen MOTS, this album is the demonstration of the brave spirit in Coldplay for trying to create different things. So, if you (like me) are a Parachutes-centric person, close your eyes and listen MOTS as an impressive produced journey to a quite different Coldplay. Not better or worse. Just an experimental one. This time, really close to an EDM genre (yes!.. arguable), Programmed Drums, Voice Effects, etc. However, there is a constant: Marvelous lyrics as usual. MOTS is a punch of love songs. That reminded me (while I was listening the album) that behind all those sounds, our loved Coldplay are there. Still there. Coloratura is an outlier. A truly masterpiece.

Now, it’s full leaked.

Yep… in a way, it’s like an infantile behavior (“look my new ball but I will play alone”). I know MOTS won’t be my favorite album (I was in that first Coldplay concert at 1998 and since then I follow them), but Coldplay is about partnerhood. It’s beyond music, for me.

8 songs so far leaked in dbree.

Please, add me too. Thanks a lot!

Man, this is BEAUTIFUL!! This is the Coldplay I love. Versión with piano, acoustic guitar and heart. Great! Works with any Australian VPN in iPhone. You won’t regret it!

Yes, and I made the comparison using software. They are 97,8% identical. But (I’m a musician that plays a lot with harmonics), there is a potencial explanation. The (extensive) vocoder used in HH only let out the processed voice and a minimal fraction of the origin voice (instead of Midnight where the ratio is different. Eventually 75% vocoder and 25% dry real voice, so it sound different live always). In HH I bet for a 95% vocoder and a 3-5% dry real voice. So, sadly, it always sounds the same, in particular with an acapella song (with instruments could be different, but lets be honest, our lovely guys are not the king of the live instrumental improvisation, except of course of Chris). The honest sad part in HP and HH, is that those songs are so-studio songs that the adrenaline of live improvisation is lost (and only remains the pyrotechnics). Maybe, in Today Plaza Show on 17th June (with audience), we see something different. I wish it!!!. Otherwise, this is going to be the more plastic Coldplay production, which after a bare bones production like EL, create a confusing and disappointing contrast, at least for me. Cheers everybody!.

Wow, it’s quite identical. At this point, beyond musical taste, I really need the whole production/album in order to see what real level of creativity is involved here. Not only related to others, but also related to Coldplay itself (about previous releases).

And change all alien radio website aesthetic, change the Kaotican language?. It “sounds” like Coldplay… but I don’t know.. time will say, but I don’t think is Coldplay promo.

An important proportion of Coldplay songs are based on looper concepts. I’m convinced that JB and CM do plenty of phrases live (on guitar mainly, but also in Piano, like Magic) that remains in background later during the song. Will’s acoustic guitar in ETIAW is other example.
