Chris has said in interviews that it's his favourite song because they wrote it with concerts in mind and he's really excited to play it on tour. HYPED! I think the lyrics are kind of pointless here and the instrumental is absolute fire. Really like the "how we're desiiiignneed" bit as well! Overall I really liked it on first listen but it hasn't stuck with me yet the other others have. This is DEFINITELY like AHFOD title track for me : a good studio song but mostly made for concerts. Once I get to experience the tour, I will probably end up with a strong attachment to it (like i now feel for AHFOD). Can't wait!

So THIS is what became of Life is beautiful, the infamous song that was performed live once, supposed to be released for charity but never actually happened! Infinity sign is DEFINITELY one of my all time favourite Coldplay tracks, immediately! Good lord. Where to begin?! One of the most surprising tracks on the album, I simply did not expect to hear Coldplay live remix as a full instrumental track What is so brilliant about it is that it is addictive and you instantly think, ok, let's have a 30 minute loop version of it. WHICH MAKES SENSE because the title is literally an Infinity sign! It is meant to be on loop! And the live reference? For me it is a reference to what Chris has been screaming since the beginning of this era: they are excited to come back and perform again and they're totally down to perform forever and ever for us. Their minds ? This makes me SO EXCITED for the tour - I don't know how they're going to include it in their setlist but they better!!! Or we riot!!!!! Also think about how this is the perfect song to use the bikes To me it's as beautiful as it is a fun song - the first part is a fun Coldplay concert moment and then the song slowly becomes a religious clubbing experience. We are going clubbing altogether Coldplay friends just us Coldplay, their wonderful show and 30, 50, 80 000 people!!! It is a Coldplay concert on Mario Kart rainbow road. Stunning, absolutely unique, iconic.

OH. MY. GOD. THIS SONG.

Now this song Wait til you experience it live, I guarantee you will change your mind I was lucky to experience it when I saw them at Taratata and good lord it's wonderful. Such a different song from what they usually do and it's so cool to see The Man Who Swears finished. The horns are a wonderful addition as well. Muse now irrelevant

Listening to the set from the London gig last night, the mix really upped the volume on Jonny even on the new songs, and to me it felt like I was finally hearing him. So I do think he's there more than what we hear on the album!

The opinion on this song is very divided among Coldplay fans from what I've seen, which I find really interesting. It's mostly about Angel Moon/Angelina/Chris' distorted voice. You either absolutely hate it, which ruins the song or you're unbothered by it, so you actually are able to enjoy the song. I actually fall in the latter For me it's the most surprising song off the album. At first I was like "wtf is this what am i hearing" and then during the song I started thinking "Oh wait i am oddly liking this!" I really like the "love me love me love me" bit, very rnb. The song got stuck in my head, in fact i had it in my head waking up in the morning. I just really like the overall vibe and so yeah, surprisingly, I quite like this! Don't know whether they'll play it live though. If they do, I hope they don't just put the distorted backing track and try to make a completely different version instead, that would be cool. Otherwise I don't necessarily mind not hearing it live, it's a great song for the studio album and it's a very chill moment.

Why hello everyone! I can't believe we're finally here! MOTS is out!!! I listened to it about 5 times I think yesterday. They've done it again, they put out a truly surprising record. What stands out is how bold it is, they've made bold choices and therefore it is only normal that opinions are divided. The flaws imo: I do think the flow is less optimal than usual, which is a surprise because that's truly something they have mastered for a while now, a signature of their albums. I do think also that depending on the platform/version you listen to, there are lots of differences, I've read lots of different comments about that. It's also an album that feels too short, like a big EP with transitions and en epic finale. It's missing one or two full length regular songs. Also it's literally 2 seconds short of 42 minutes. I'd like to know who's responsible for that. The tracklisting is a bit off as well - why put Let Somebody go before Human Heart ? It's just weird. The mix also forgets Jonny but I am hopeful for a live album to come out after/during the tour to really let him shine - we know from the first live performances that his contributions to the new songs are, as always, full of great ideas and just brilliant. I do understand them wanting to be bolder in where the songs lead and therefore perhaps having to go away from their core in order to do so. But Jonny is too good to be silenced. Let Somebody Go is a skip for me, it just doesn't do much for me, i don't feel the band really being fully committed to it somehow. Not a good idea as a single either I think. But i've seen lots of people actually enjoying it so that's great!!! That's about it for me regarding the things that kind of bother me. Now onto the great stuff! The Live potential of that album. My oh my!!!! I see it in the way as AHFOD, or Mylo for lots of people when it came out. You may not see it as a great album for now if you're not a fan of the mix or the production choices overall. But there are many tracks, more than I had anticipated, here, that are reminiscent of concerts or straight up made for the tour (HP, Humankind, POTP, MU, Infinity, Coloratura). They will likely become iconic live moments and that will make the abum experience much deeper. I love how they are just being bolder and bolder with each album. This is just as bold as EL but in the complete other direction musically - which was to be anticipated of course. On first listen I was genuinely suprised by songs like Humankind, Beautiful (lol screw that dumb title) or Infinity sign (do NOT get me started on this ICONIC track!!!!) or POTP, even after seeing it live on Taratata. And while I do not find the transitions to be so great, they do make for a more interesting experience. An interesting aspect of MOTS vol1 is how it seems to actually reference previous Coldplay work. There's Infinity sign of course which directly samples their own concert. But Alien Choir is also VERY Fix You. I remember the first time hearing MOTS the intro I thought it was AIMH. And Coloratura feels like the fully finished potential of MTM. It's very cool. And when the lyrics lack depth or inspiration, they make up for it with really cool hooks in the melody (Humankind, the B song). I dare you not to have the B song stuck in your head at some point. It's impossible Coloratura really shines through as the most epic, best track since DAAHF for me. The entire album is worth it just for this track. It is Coldplay at their best, in every single aspect. Overall I think the album has real shiny, brilliant, incredible moments of epicness. It is uneven, yes, but it's another big optimistic giant mess with an incredible variety of genres and layers and it is a wildly entertaining ride. Like AHFOD, I'm not sure I'll listen to it much as an album after the era, but I will definitely have some strong attachment to particular songs, and that group will go bigger once I get to experience the tour. Finally I would also like to point out that most artists of their scales who have recently been making a comeback.....are doing the exact same thing they've always done. It's working commercially but it's frankly uninspiring. I'm really proud of Coldplay for going their own way, for standing out. It is what makes them special and timeless. My favourite songs so far : Coloratura, Infinity sign, Human heart. I think those will stand the test of time for my ears and heart. I'm going to post in each thread now ok see you

It does not seem like that potentially upcoming video is an actual performance. It seems more like an official video. So it's not shocking that it's not live or anything. The weird part is why would they do that given that it's not a single The full album theory makes sense in that context, but it does not really make sense to make full videos in that setting for the whole album....with the studio version..... It's all weird but hey I'll take it

That is indeed interesting, thank you!!

Thank you so much for your warning!!
