Oct 18, 2022Embarrassingly bad. Pop tunes with the exception of coloratura. To the dismay of their pears and fans they still sold out.
-
Jan 19, 2023A musically and lyrically acceptable album. Which makes it generic and boring. We cannot deny that there are salvageable songs. But it leaves a tasteless, since much more was expected from this great band.

Feb 7, 2022Not very good imo, too poppy, to bad lyrics, boooooooooooo you turned sucky
-
Oct 15, 2021Coldplay revert back to their pop loving money making selves in a selfless attempt to earn a payday and stay relevant. Avoid
-
Dec 31, 2021Beautiful. Lyrics could be a bit better but everything else is so greatly executed that it warrants a 10. Love these guys.
-
Dec 24, 2021Not Coldplay's best album of all time, but it's definitely worth enjoying. My favorite song from the album has to be "Humankind," as I am a big fan of the synth-pop feel that Coldplay adopted in this album. If you're a fan of Coldplay's contemporary pop feel, you will love this album the same way you loved "A Head Full of Dreams."
-
Dec 6, 2021Music of the Spheres, while ambitious, lacks any real emotional appeal. While the band’s single “Higher Power” proved catchy and somewhat inspiring with its futuristic sounds; it felt clichéd and forced, their collaboration with BTS also proved surprisingly successful, yet the remainder of the album lacked any real essence and engagement for listeners.
-
Oct 15, 2021An album that has songs like People Of The Pride, Coloratura, Infinity Sign, Humankind and Human Heart cant be anything less than an 8.
In my opinion pure perfection!! -
Nov 26, 2021Excellent album with awesome lyrics. Some of the tracks are good enough to be within their best ones. It's funny to see people saying bad things about the album just because it's different from their previous works. Changing is important to keep your work fresh, and music shouldn't be divided. All music is music, and this music is beautiful. Well done, Coldplay.
-
Nov 26, 2021A pure masterpiece of pop. Coloratura and People of the pride reminds me the old songs but also giving a new fresh vibe,
-
Nov 26, 2021AMAZING album! Coloratura is a masterpiece. One of the best releases this year.
-
Nov 26, 2021Music of the spheres is now my favorite thing from coldplay, they're always giving good music
-
Nov 26, 2021This is perfect and easily one of the best albuns of the year. The songs are all so good and has a amazing vibe.
I don't know if it's their best but it works for Coldplay right now... can't wait for listen this live. -

Nov 26, 2021It’s a very different style for a Coldplay album, but for me it’s amazing. I loved the storyline and concept, the transitions and the style of the album. They are very brave for trying so new things, and for me, it worked very well.
-
Nov 25, 2021it's a shame that Coldplay went back to over-elaborated pop song when "Everyday Life" was a breath of fresh air leaving me hoping for the future's band. This album just simply doesn't have that magic that was present in first ones or the previous one

Nov 15, 2021This cold, dead, sell-out, shell of an album, makes me happy i don't have a son that i can take my anger out on.
-
Nov 11, 2021Selena Gomez is the only reason I listened in the first place, and their collab was the only one I remembered after. 1/10, one point for the collab happening (would be 2 but the song itself is clunky and reminiscent of their collab with Tove Lo yet somehow worse)

Nov 5, 2021Este álbum representa un bajón notable de creatividad comparado con su álbum "Everyday Life" del 2019, aunque le habría puesto una nota más baja de no haber sido por "Coloratura".
-
Nov 5, 2021Not that bad. At least skits are relaxing. It sounds like a milky album btw
-

Nov 3, 2021I'm sorry, but this may be one of the most boring albums I've ever heard. The transitions on this album were beautifully produced but, unfortunately, they lead to nowhere interesting. The highlight of the album is "My Universe" but just because of its catchy chorus, since the lyrics are cliché. This is not the memorable content Coldplay usually give us.

Oct 30, 2021The legacy of Lady Gaga's Chromatica has lead some bizarre (boring) stuff right here.
-
Oct 29, 2021So disappointed in them. Most of their tracks are so boring and uninteresting, except for a few ones, such as "My Universe" and "Biutyful".

Oct 24, 2021Great album. Humankind is a banger for stadiums, Let Somebody Go is really emotional. People of the Pride has so much power and Coloratura is just impeccable.

Oct 21, 2021So sad to hear a talented band write football chants for a stadium tour rather than actual songs!!! (Remember Simple Minds?)
-
Oct 20, 2021Horrible, soporifero. Coldplay se convirtió en una banda totalmente pop, pero una muy mala banda de pop, que ni si quiera tiene la gracia de sacar melodias pegajosas. Asco total, van como el cangrejo definitivamente.
-
Oct 20, 2021Coldplay once used their talents to take the listener deep beneath the surface. Now they optimize profits with pop stars.
Closing walls and ticking clocks. -

Oct 19, 2021Coldplay always surprises everyone with his music, his lyrics, simply surprising
-
Oct 19, 2021This new album is a mixture of melancholy and rhythms that seek to appease difficult times. Songs like "Let Somebody Go", give an account of this nostalgia that I am talking about. We know that Coldplay is a band of changes and adaptation and that many changes do not like them; anyway... It is obvious that your old job is superior, but it does not detract from that new job.
-
Oct 19, 2021Coloratura and Higher Power are great, but the final result is not so good.
-
Oct 19, 2021Beautiful album. I love My Universe and the concept of the album it's very unique
-
Oct 18, 2021Unique for Coldplay, yet uniquely Coldplay, Music Of The Spheres expands upon their discography elegantly. It adds plenty of fresh new sounds to their already well-established repertoire. It's another wonderful notch in Coldplay's belt.

Oct 18, 2021Not enough tracks to be considered a really good album. Some strong ones on here though. Probably sits alongside AHFOD, but is definitely better than their previous Everyday Life
-
Oct 18, 2021
-
Oct 18, 2021After the excellent Everyday Life, this album is the exact opposite. I don't understand this chosen route, they know how to do wonderful things but seem to be aiming for the charts rather than quality. The result is an album which does not please many people but which keeps the head of the water only thanks to its bankable collaborations.
-
Oct 17, 2021This album is filled with generic, basic, uninteresting pop hits masked in this "conceptualized, spacey," environment to make it seem more interesting than it actually is. Songs like "Let Somebody Go," and "My Universe," are prime examples of writing songs HOPING they will be hits and TikTok trends, it's not interesting, just lifeless.
Plus, the interludes like " -
Oct 17, 2021Album of the Year right here. Another masterpiece from Coldplay. Coloratura is the new Bohemian Rhapsody.
-
Oct 17, 2021Lots of catchy songs and an interesting space theme make this a worthwhile listen, but some clumsy lyrics ("There's a crocodile cross-eyed", People of the Pride) let it down.
-
Oct 17, 2021If this is what this universe sounds like, I'd decide to live in another one.
-
Oct 17, 2021The only good song is coloratura the rest are either meh or just straight bad
-
Oct 16, 2021The whole the album is trip into the outer space. Certainly one of the most diverse album from the band. You can clearly listen to the influence of other areas; Music of the Spheres feels like a diffusion of other Coldplay's works, but in a certain way upgraded.That's why this album is unique.

Oct 16, 2021What happened to Coldplay?!?! Awful synth pop at its absolute worst. Avoid!!
-
Oct 16, 2021This album is being very overhated, there are good songs in it even though is not cohesive.
-
Oct 16, 2021I like it but sounds flopped, so, idk why this group always gets bad score haja

Oct 16, 2021POP music - for sure. But it's one of the best pop music albums you will find this year.
-
Oct 15, 2021Coldplay now is an ultimate bad taste and the reason this world is turning into trash. Oh yeah, they also contribute to climate change by releasing empty tunes into the sky !
-
Oct 15, 2021It doesn't change even with harsh criticism, and it's a sloppy album with similar concepts and sounds.
-
Oct 15, 2021Muy buen álbum. Coldplay se ha reinventado muy bien a través de los años. Music Of The Spheres tiene la misma vibra de Mylo Xyloto y A Head Full Of Dreams
-
Oct 15, 2021aoty we love to see it Coldplay legends band of the century kings of everything fadga flopped

Oct 15, 2021The Man Who Swears. Enough said. The teases of Life is Beautiful and Don Quixote made it slightly annoying, however, that isn't an indictment on the music itself.

Oct 15, 2021I used to be a fan but I can't take a BTS featuring. Coldplay is a huge name, don't need to appeal to b0ts
-
Oct 15, 2021This is the worst album they've ever done. Actually, they never released a bad album until today. Coloratura is the only song that sounds like the old Coldplay. I think they're going to lose a lot of old fans because of this catchy pop music stage. It's just a shame in what they've become.

Oct 15, 2021I simply can't understand the hate toward this album. It isn't as great as their first four albuns, but it's not a tragedy, that'a a pretty damn good album. Humankind, People of the pride and Coloratura are really great songs and MOTS deserves some love
-
Oct 15, 2021
-
Oct 15, 2021After Everyday Life I hoped the band would go back on the right track again and make awesome music, but this new album is just weak, and superficial. I think is the worst they’ve ever done. So sad.
-
Oct 15, 2021Sou um grande fã do Coldplay, mas esse álbum é tao ruim que chega a ser constrangedor. Em pensar que mesma banda lançou A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Mylo Xyloto, X&Y, etc. Vale um 4 somente por Coloratura e People Of The Pride.

Oct 15, 2021It's not a bad album, but it's extremely inferior to its predecessor. And that's sad.
-
Oct 15, 2021The album is soooo good. It's extremely vibey and does really well in having a very extraterrestrial feel to it
-
Oct 15, 2021A wonderful album. Dazzling and catchy hooks throughout. Humankind, People of the Pride and Coloratura are among the band's greatest songs. Will get a lot of unjust hate "bEcAuSe iT's tOo pOp"
-
Oct 15, 2021Amazing album, lyrics and production. Highlight for the masterpiece track "Coloratura". It's a 9 for me!

Oct 15, 2021The melodies are very deep and beautiful. For me, it's a masterpiece and a one of a kind album. There's no other album like this one

Oct 29, 2021It’s a concept album that fundamentally refuses to engage with its own premise. Instead, the band doubles down on lyrical clichés about love and arena-friendly electropop. ... Frontman Chris Martin was never known as a brilliant songwriter, but his lyrics were never this vapid either.
-
UncutOct 21, 2021Despite Chris Martin's underdeveloped lyrics – "Be an anthem for your times" at least explains his motivation – there's something reassuring in their ham-fisted urge to bring people together. ... Glam-stomper "People Of The Pride" or well-meaning power ballad "Let Somebody Go," and instrumentals harking back to earlier Eno adventures offer pleasant reprieves. [Dec 2021, p.25]
-
Oct 20, 2021The significant flaw of Music of the Spheres is that it spends a lot of effort telling us that humans have this capacity for love and goodness, sometimes in overly saccharine terms, without getting us to feel it.
