Here's my review (co-posted to r/Coldplay!) 'm nearly done with Coloratura which I've listened to plenty of times, so here's my initial review. It's short—like curiously short. I'm surprised at how, I guess, incomplete it feels even though it's definitely an experience from beginning to end. That being said, I enjoyed it more than I anticipated earlier this year when we got news about BTS, etc. The only dud for me so far is Let Somebody Go; Pride of the People will have to grow on me too. But, the standout tracks are really, really good. MOTS is an excellent instrumental opener,

Without question. I am stunned.

I honestly don’t even know what to say. That’s the first Coldplay song that’s left me speechless since… I don’t even know. My god, what a masterpiece.

Really pleasantly surprised at all of this. I like Higher Power, but was entirely unsure what to expect for the full album. The teaser made me very excited for what's to come; each track sounds well-produced from the snippets we've heard. It offers some wide-ranging variety in a way that doesn't come off as convoluted or whatever. Bring on October 15!

That's actually a great point.

Wow, that was gorgeous.

When I read Max Martin produced this track, I was like, "Oh god, oh no." I'm happy that I can ear my words. The snippets really did a good job of disguising the rest of the song. It's certainly poppy, but not overwhelmingly so. The production is legitimately super good, and the final bridge really amplifies the song. Super happy with it; already on my third listen!

This is so wild.

This album rollout rules. I love all of it.

I’m not sure why you think every piece of music has to be revolutionary to be good.

Exactly my thoughts. I have a lot of hope for the album now.

That's what I thought too. The production is much better than MX—that's always been my biggest complaint with MX, it sounds muddled—and it has that sort of eclectic energy HLH has.

Yeah, I'm a fan. I was skeptical with Max Martin producing, but this seems to be a very good mix of Coldplay and his pop-heavy style. If I had to guess, the singles will be dream pop, and I bet the other tracks are space rock (or in a similar vein). I don't love the lyrics, but I knew that when the lyrics were first being teased. It's not a big deal. Really excited for next Friday.

I've had this in the back of my head for years. I so badly want this to come to fruition.

This is all so exciting.
