Disc rating|I could imagine Moon Music playing on the threshold of the end of the world, when even the last strands of the brain melt in the heat, writes critic Arttu Seppänen.
Coldplay: Moon Music. Parlophone. ★
About me I feel like I’m in adult Hoplop. Everything is a tip and a trick and a really weak gig.
Coldplayn Moon Musicia listening, I remember my friend’s story about how his phone was stolen in the moshpit at a Slayer concert. Before the phone disappeared, he saw a smile that was a little too wide.
There is also something ominous by Moon Music in fake smiles. They are like distorted by anxiety and artificial intelligence.
Coldplayn the tenth album sounds like self-deception. It’s a desperate sounding bounce.
Moon Music is alternately formless pop about the power of love and alternately pseudo-meditation. It’s a record that tries to mask its own auto-updating Tiktok decor board restlessness by Jon Hopkins to gentle sound carpets.
The moon and its conquest has been a tool of political competition. So why couldn’t it also be the instrument of a delusional and delusional band. For Coldplay, the earth guy is a hand-rolling power stone at the Natural High Healing festival.
by Moon Music in a video interview published on the eve of the publication Chris Martin talked about how the band used to be about the members, but now Coldplay is all about others. By this he meant the people who flock to the band’s concerts.
If Martini can be woken up from his messianic nap, then hello – it’s just a band!
If before, the band followed in the footsteps of U2, then today’s Coldplay is completely in its own spheres, no matter how many carbon footprints you count.
Bloatedness shows worst in songwriting, because that Moon Musicilla is not. The songs sound like clichéd loose phrases thrown at the audience.
For example JUPiTER is written as a queer empowerment story: anyone can love anyone. It’s a nice idea, but it also encapsulates the problem.
Coldplay and Martin have internalized the self-created idea of their excessive greatness and therefore make songs that they think others need. A strange messiah complex and the theme of conquest have become part of the band’s music. Music of the Spheres and Moon Music: as if the band imagines the whole universe pulsing with Coldplay’s music.
Aggravatingly named feelslikeimfallinginlove are the album’s strongest performances. That’s no mean compliment. As a song, it’s a lazy thrashing of everything we’ve already heard from Coldplay many times. It continues Music of the Spheres -album with songs made for stadiums and meant to spread good vibes.
Feelslikeimfallinginlove– except for the song, the songs on the album are capitalized, excluding the letter i, as if it were an Apple collaboration or the chat culture of the 00s. Thus, in the iAMM song, the speaker of the song declares himself to be VUORi. In reality, Martin doesn’t even have to think about whether the mountain will come to him.
I’ve forgiven Chris Martin a lot for his cheesy lyrics, but now I haven’t even tried to set a bar anywhere.
I could imagine by Moon Music on the eve of the ringing end of the world, when even the last fibers of the brain melt in the heat.
