I really dont feel the true love vibes, I think the vibes overall are more like something..like everything's not lost kind thing mixed with coloratura. True love feels more..like..disneyish to me than jazzy

But wasnt Max Martin involved on the production of coloratura too?

What kinda make me confused about FLIFIL was some soundchecks that happened 2 days ago, like the guitar and drums exploding together here ( In the first video is like 1:37 and on the second vídeo like..30 seconds or 40 seconds) https://x.com/coldplayisrael/status/1799439422708179323/video/1 I dont see from the snippets from today the same feeling... maybe Im wrong

I think that snippet doesnt really gives us too much of the song, I initially thought it was like.. "this is a bit mid..pop sounding ballad" but cmon it is 10 seconds..and now with the live version I see that snippet differently, if you listen to it thinking about coloratura Studio version you will notice that is basically equivalent of coloratura sounding, So Im betting the Studio version of All my love will still be awsome, the piano sounds beautiful still and I bet jonny will bend our knees

From all my love, the FLIFIL snippet and the soundcheck of that song related to the Instagram acoustic snippet, and with what Phil said, it does feel like this album will be more unique than a lot of their pop albums even mylo, I do see this viva vein in it, like..it doesnt sound lame or forced, it sound natural for them, maybe this album will be indeed close to viva, even tho it will be more space and pop. Maybe this will be the best pop effort of coldplay, one that can make sense with records like x&y, viva...a rush of blood.

I get the worry but I think we need to hold on what chris said here

I I'd love to see car kids being release, something tells me its a great song. Most of the reminiscent material they hold on from mylo era to now seems to be top nutch, I mean most of the songs they've been releasing so far have been so good. Even the most poppier sound like a great coldplay song, so yeah car kids come right away haha xD

Coldplay goes bjork's medulla style Hahahaha

It would be my last show, cos I'd die hauahauahaua

Dont get me wrong, I like mylo.. there is nothing from them that I dont like actually. But I think mylo has some issues.. its not about structure or guitar solos. Hurts like heaven is the best track from it with up with the birds and major. But I think in general the album is a little overproduced.. but ok its not like ahfd, but I think the vibe from the record is..too much you know.. and what really makes me feel like it didnt top their first four albums its that it seems that they are trying to hard to sound like some genre of music..and not being free, themselves. I mean its coldplay..their essence still there but..for me it looks like its more weaker, like they are not bringing much of their identity to the table just to trying to Inhence the genre of pop rock there. Like some melodies follow exactly the voice from chris, it happens on paradise or charlie brown or ETDIWF. But you know thats my opinion..not judging you..I just like otherside from them. thinking about melodies being too close its something that didnt happen so much in past, you can see that in songs like low..or arbth I think mylo for me feels forced at times, and the slow ballads are not so touching like it is now on EL, (old friends is so good), I think mylo is better than ahfd as an album but thats it. And you know for me its ok cos that was the point of it..be more approachable and acessible

I do but its seem like a more balanced popish, anyway..I think it would be a really strong track

Yeaaah I think that too..that's something about that tease that brings me something very nostalgic, it feels like what I felt when I first heard of them. Its old and new at the same time, had some baselines and some x&y vibe but more pop but its a smart pop..IDK just sounds so unique and so touching.. and sooo COLDPLAY thats what I love about it. Its the coldplay innovating like what they did from album to album in their first four. Man I need that song hahahaha

About what I said earlier, here is a part from a recent interview: "Not worry about commercial perfomance" this got to mean something right?.. so o think is unlikely we will get an album like mylo or ahfd. I think the direction will be a mix of the essence of the band from the first 4 albums with some nuances of pop, like it happens on tracks like orphans or church or even CoTw...well Im excited, cos it feels like I've been waiting this band for 12 years and they are finally back

Riiiiight?!!!!

Well..from what we know so far, I believe that we will get more of a mainstream album, not necessarily pop.. but maybe more in the veins of songs like church..orphans and champion of the world on a full album. And thats so great cos.. COTW is classic coldplay with some new touches..church is beatiful too..and all this songs are not like sooo much pop like ahfd or even mylo. I think it got more of their essence..and they sound more approachable and mainstream..so if I had to guess..I would think that LP9 will be more like those tracks. We'll see. And dont forget that recently Chris said on a interview that they are not worrying about how commercial they are..not thinking much of that stuff lately So i think that this kinda reject a full pop album..that is not their focus anymore. Ps: please let "the race" be a part of the new album haha

Couldn't agree more. Orphans is what coldplay should have done if they were after a pop feel before viva la vida

Dammm gengahr's new single is so good. This band..highly recommend

I get the point of the article, since their last few albums had that kind of appeal..but at the same time I kinda think this is a little ridiculous... I mean she can't really guess what they are aiming to in this new era. There isnt even a single yet, and..well they did have moments in their careear that sound quite experimental: Spies (early version), spell rebel well, even some solos on pré-parachutes era, like in such a rush. On viva we had chinese sleep chant, the bridge/structure of 42, the escapist. I know its not like Kid a's experimental but..it is a lot more than the last few records, even though midnight kind has a little of that touch...So Idk...maybe the band can go back doing those kinda of stuffs, A.L.I.E.N.S did gave a hint in that direction, those reverse guitars...idk hahaha. So I guess that some people forgot about these moments on their careear, it makes me a little sad. Anyway...dont know what to expect for now...but.. I mean...enough of the mainstream pop feel, it has been too long. And sorry about my english guys

Miss that time... Im kind sad about the latest shows. They were fucking magical till the viva la vida era.. but now..its just.. I don't know.. its weak, its good, but its a 7 not a 10 anymore. My last shows was 02/03/2010, São Paulo, it was something hahaha ^^

Funny from an album that has songs that stills are rock like birds, amazing day, up&up, ahfod... Chris have always express himself in a wrong way. Its just the same thing now

And I thought it was a ok/boring song before.. but now.. it feels like yellow level for me

Been growing on me for a quite some time.. and now its my top 3 from the album

Now that you like army of one I think you will like lost! a lot better. For me lost! Is army of one but better

I Prefer their old stuff but AHFOD is better than mx and gs at least. Cos now Im getting used to song that I was not before like Army of one. I think 5 songs has a touch of oldplay in it, mainly 4. If it wasn't for 6 songs of this album I'd totally hated haha. But one song that really frustated me was Fun, cos the main problem its chorus... so teenager.. I don't know.. its lame. Its a good song but has some lame moments

Its a shame that some of the forum don't see this as a genuine coldplay song and prefer things more generic like fun or even everglow... it would be awsome if they do an album with this vein
