Coldplay – Music Of The Spheres

Purchased my copy at Newbury Comics around the first two quarters of 2022. My copy looks like fecal matter, but when you play it, the quiet sound makes up for it. It also has clicks during Alien Choir (the star emoji) and Let Somebody Go, and briefly during the introduction of Coloratura. Thankfully, most of the album sounds spotless.

I also have it on CD, but due to my DACs being antiquated (at least 10 to 18 years old) and the pressing being quiet, I think I kind of prefer this. I'd rather have a quiet sound I can turn up than a louder one I'm pretty sure I'm going to dislike. Also, I am one who prefers the stereo mix over the diet Atmos one available on select streaming services. This album will one day become a classic, and you people aren't ready for that as far as I know.

I got the grey-based variant with beautiful, vibrant streaks of pink, white, black, blue among other colors. Sound quality wise, it's a little crackly in places, as is expected with recycled vinyl, but the mastering is really very good. Loud, clear and punchy sound. Very impressed in that right, and I love the color of the pressing that I got.

Mine is a marbly grey copy. Fantastic quality. This album has really grown on me and I'm glad to have it in my record collection for more intentional listening. Definitely went for the Parlophone and not the Atlantic Records version ;)

Amazing album, sound was flawless and packaging was really cool with the booklet, the inner sleeve and cutout. If you are looking for an album to play when relaxing or just wanting to vibe this would be the one to get!

My copy looks and sounds like vomit. Very unfortunate. The MP3s from the included code sound 10x better.

I got mine from Target, its a pink with subtle black splats. There's clicks and pops and the sound quality is alright. Kind of a dull sounding pressing, it has its moments of sounding really good but what do ya expect its recycled vinyl. Besides that the music is really good.

I bought a recycled copy from Target and mine is a translucent black with gold glitter and green/red swirls. Not what I was expecting but it looks awesome! Sounds great too, no noise or pops.

I bought my copy at UO expecting my pressing to sound pretty bad, but was surprised! I cleaned it before listening and there wasn't a ton of pops or clicks or distortion anywhere. Only issue I could think of was Coloratura (which makes me sad since it's definitely my favorite of the songs), there's the occasional pop every now and then but nothing terrible. My colorway was a cool murky pink!

It really is the ugliest record i own... Seriously the color reminds me of certain something i don't know i can mention on this comment section... DISGUSTANG. But sound wise. It's playing really really well and clear! Noise it's present, but it's not that bad. It sounded like really little static.

I bought recycled colored copy of this album at UO for CAD35+ tax. As usual for UO colored vinyl is just terrible quality. Rattling, skipping all over the record. Don't buy colored copy at UO!!!
