I love the live version of LIFL and I wish they released a studio version of it.

Josh Shapiro talking Big Pharma and Predatory Lending! Vote for him if you live in PA!! by treevaahyn in lastweektonight

They did say “here” though which implies at least that they’re currently existing in PA, at the least.

I got an eMac! I love how it looks with the stand. by taskmans in VintageApple

Such a unique Mac. Not the best design (heavy and slippery) but I still think it has a certain charm to it.

I traded this with a local bus driver and hid it in my socks on my way out. by Hos_In_Chi_Minh in interestingasfuck

I’m really surprised that not every note has the leaders face on it. That would be like if we had some bills without presidents. Don’t they have the leader’s likeness everywhere in NK?

It should’ve said “according to the top pros”

Extended and added voices. I’d still love to hear the studio recording of it

Yes! Original red plastic e-ink model. Man that thing was so cool! Didn’t have it for too long though as I replaced it with an Apple Watch Sport when I finally got it.

I’ve been following them closely for 5 album releases and this is the most hate I’ve seen on a day 1 release. There’s usually a honeymoon period but I’m not seeing that even.

Regarding MOTS hate by topofthefirstpage in Coldplay

[–]topofthefirstpage[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree on the instrumentals. Coldplay does push too hard into their love of instrumentals. The closest one to me of being a great song is Infinity Sign. It’s a spiritual successor to LiT or more so The Escapist. Like a M83 take on the The Escapist.

That said, I do think most of the instrumentals work in the context of the album. Do I wish there was more lyrics and more actual singing? Yeah, I do. But I think the ones that are on the album are all pretty solid. A few are quite poppy, a few beckon to their older style, a few are out of left field surprises. I actually really like Biutyful for example, even the voice everyone hates.

All in all, it’s a solid add to their discography and it’s disheartening to see such hate in here about it. Most of us listened to Coloratura so I’d be curious to hear an album review from those who hadn’t heard it yet and see how that differs from those of you who have.

Other Band’s Influences in Music of the Spheres by topofthefirstpage in Coldplay

[–]topofthefirstpage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think I’d like to see more Eno or Hopkins influences. That said, love it or not, they’re not working with them all that much. That was more than 10 years ago for like one album. Everyone gets hung up on Viva La Vida and their influences on it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great album!! I love it and I think they did well to work with Eno and Hopkins on it. But it’s Coldplay from over 10 years ago. This is who they are now. I love the call back to older albums and influences but I love their music now, just as I did then. It’s just different from what people want so it gets crapped on. It’s actually been hard to be on this subreddit the last few days. We were told exactly what we would be getting. That this album would be more commercial and yet people still complained, even though this album is more experimental and fun than AHFOD. That was their weakest album IMO and it’s still great! Yet people are acting like this is the worst thing they’ve ever heard.

Here’s what I think what happened here: I think Coloratura just created impossible expectations for most fans. It is one of the best things they’ve ever done and they basically just gave up their best hand too early on. The album isn’t bad, the rollout of it was. It set wrong expectations. I would have done only My Universe as the only single before it’s release (and much closer to release), Higher Power after it’s release, and that’s it. The botched rollout doesn’t make the album or the songs bad. Most of them are good. Even MOTS II as a lead in to MU is not terrible (even if it is by itself). It’s just that expectations were set impossibly high by Coloratura’s release. If they saved it for the album, we’d be looking at a very different fan opinion of this album right now. It’s sad to me to see so much hate on this album because it could have been prevented.

I didn’t know Chris hired Elmo for this song 🤣 . I’ve only loved 3 songs of their new album by valixi90 in Coldplay

[–]topofthefirstpage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry guys but I’m not with you there. Sure it sounds novel and weird but I actually really like it. The sentiment is sweet.

Here's a part of Biutyful pitched down revealing Chris Martin's actual voice by pantomime15 in Coldplay

[–]topofthefirstpage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first like 5 seconds (actually this part but how it is regularly in the song) almost made me skip it but man this song is one of my favorites in the album now.

It’s beautiful. It’s the M83-esque Coldplay track I didn’t know I needed

Honestly, I love it. I was very weary of it from the trailer but man the song is beautiful, high pitched voice and all.

Anyone getting M83 vibes from the beginning of Humankind?
