Euphoric Album, and Great Sounding Vinyl
First off, as impressed as I am with the band's climate efforts I was hesitant about the recycled vinyl and how it would sound, I shouldn't of doubted them, it sounds superb.The album has an largely overall euphoric sound, something that if you've seen Coldplay live you'll recognise only too well! I can it imagine how energising some of this new music will feel live! Bring on next summer!If you want old Coldplay, dust off their back catalogue! If you simply love great music, give this a few spins and it will get under your skin.The theme of this album is 'alien' and on many occasions you can allow your imagination to sweep you away as the music twists and turns, it can be mesmerising. The 10+ minute track Colortura sums that up superbly, an ambitious undulating score which fleets between catchy vocals, chiming instrumentals and rousing orchestration.People of The Pride is simply one of, if not the best track of 2021. So un-Coldplay and yet so engaging and thumping. Glam rock influences (think Spirit in the Sky on Vodka Rebulls) and heavy lyrics. A genuine masterpiece.The only song I find a little hard to warm to is Bytiful or whatever odd way they're spelling it. It has a nice melody and it's better when Chris Martin is singng, but the slightly cheesy lyrics and sped up intro vocals are too distracting for me.Listen a few times before you decide, and open your mind when you do. It's different to their norm, and it's great music.

It just gets better, keep playing it
I brought this album for my daughter after seeing Coldplay recently for the incredible Music Of The Spheres world tour.Not only does it rekindle the memories of the concert so well; the album gets better and better with each listen.It has inspired me to purchase the entire back catalogue of Coldplay on vinyl as it is so superior to cd in richness of sound.I don't normally write reviews but wanted to comment on the recycled vinyl - really admire the continued efforts of the band towards the planet and sustainability. A tip on the first play: I needed to adjust the weight arm on my deck (Technics 1200) to stop skipping. On the second and third play adjust the weight back and everything plays and sounds perfect.

Vinyl - Excellent Album but a con if you want the digital download
Got this album yesterday and although the vinyl being recycled feels more "brittle" than normal vinyl plays really well and the albums itself has been on for most of the day love it!The gripe I have here is with the included digital download the site it sends you too asks for the code that is on the supplied card and this is where the problem starts the website just reports the code is invalid or already been used, I know Ill get on to Amazon who after a chat have sent a replacement copy of the album and guess what same thing new code and rejected it. No where to complain no support just a load of c*** really, really not impressed and better not to include the offer in the first place, tried 5 different browsers with different settings and same result. All a bit of a con really and now what I expected. Just to note this has nothing to with Amazon the code is for an external site!

Another fantastic album by Coldplay made from recycled vinyl making each coloured album unique to the buyer, comes with a lyric booklet Gatefold artwork of planets and unfortunately a free download card that expired a year ago ! album arrived extremely well packed and is still great value for money

Great album
Incredible album, songs are sublime. People will say it doesn't sound like the old Coldplay, but its not supposed to. Its great they are attempting something different and its worked! (At least for me) My only issue is the vinyl was a different colour to the pictures but that isnt really important.
