People are saying this song could be better. How so? Not saying that it's perfect in any way but just wondering what could be added to make it better. I love it the way it is. This just shouldn't be on this album - it doesn't fit at all.

I can't get over the last bit of the song when Chris starts singing love me love me love me again around the 2min mark. God, that's gorgeous. Would love an acoustic version of this...

Anyone thinking for Vol. 2, this song will get lyrics to it? Maybe become Life is Beautiful??

Agreed. The interludes aren't having the same effect on this album as it did with the others. It's now coming across as an obligation to have an interlude (and an intro even) instead of it flowing with the rest of the songs.

My first listen was in the car so could be that. Getting the CD today so will have it on my proper stereo when I'm home so that might change my mind.

I'm in New Zealand. ?

Surprise at how much I liked this. But whyyyyyy the voice at the start??? Completely ruins it. Should have come in in the second verse to accompany Chris. But argh.

What a waste of a song. Shouldn't be on this album at all.

I actually feel the transition between songs don't flow well for most. And I'm listening to it on Spotify...

I think it'll come out next year. I wonder if it'll be the same style. I know each sphere/planet is represented by a song so does that mean this will continue - i.e song 1 on Vol.1 is linked to song 1 on vol.2, etc? Am I going to have another K-pop shit on the next album then?

Ok this made me tear up and left such an impression on me. Only because I keep thinking how this will sound live and I had goosebumps and I started tearing up. I can't wait to experience this live. It's going to be epic and than some. Btw, what is being sang towards the end??

Just had one listen: Better than AHFOD but what a messy album. I get that each song represent each sphere/world/whatever but it's just so disjointed and jarring. I might change my mind after a few listens but right now I keep thinking why the hell is this song on this album?

Wow. I’m impress. No leaks. I might as well wait then. Lol. Not long for me if they are indeed releasing at midnight (it’s 6am here ??).

Same here! ??

I will listen to leaks. I buy the CD and the vinyl so I don't see why I wouldn't listen to it. Once it's on Spotify, I start streaming on that. So...it doesn't matter to me if people listen to the leaks or not. With that said, HAS IT LEAKED YET!!! Haha

Oh yeah definitely. But I still buy the vinyl and the CD as well so to me listening to the leak won't make me feel guilty. I only listen to the leaks cause I'm impatient and I can't wait for the actual release. Heh.

Yup and I would be one of them! ?

?

The band did mention in an interview they would like to re-record X&Y. I would love for that to happen!

Which could be what they were going for? AROBTTH is Coldplay's darkest album and if by listening to it made you feel strange then I think they've achieved their goal, making the production pretty good. Heh. ?

True but then I wouldn't have thought Arabesque would have been released as a single either. They might release it as a ode to fans like they did with Coloratura. Not disagreeing with you, just saying that anything is possible now with the band. Haha!

Anyone has a clip/snippet to The Man Who Swears? I’m late to the party and never heard of it. Ha! Curious to know how it compares to this.

Higher Power is waaaay better. And I’ll pick POC and HFTW any day over this.

Can’t believe a song like this is on an album with MU. What a strange album this is turning out to be.

Not at all. Can’t stand BTS so this is a nightmare come true.
