Coldplay's ninth studio album 'Music of the Spheres' desperately wants to inspire its listeners, but the songwriting and sound fall flat.

But 'Music of the Spheres' still remembers to breathe, too. "I loved you to the moon and back again," Martin sings on the tender 'Let Somebody Go', musing on the burning light of the stars and the pain of sudden, illogical heartbreak.There is a holiness to album standout 'Human Heart', too, which understands the fallibility of the only flesh-and-blood tools we have to take care

The album opens with an instrumental track that creates a vision of space-age pop idealism; synthesizers are used and sonic sounds beam in and out as we hear the spoken words "Music of the Spheres" in a computerised dashboard tone. We are engulfed in a wall of ambient noise and alien tones that leads us into the second track, Higher Power.

The fifth song on Music of the Spheres features Selena Gomez in an unexpected but well-matched duet with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The pair tells the story of a lost love, incorporating the album's celestial motif throughout with references to the moon and the stars.

Highest Rated. 90. Spill Magazine. Samantha Andujar. Music Of The Spheres is a thematic conceptual work of art that has outdone anything Coldplay has done on prior works. It floats, transcends, even defies musical gravity at times with a compassionate message that hugs each of our aural senses and hearts one at a time.

Music of the Spheres is, at its best, a mediocre album. It fails to reach the heights that most of Coldplay's albums have reached before, save for the final track that justifies the album's existence much too late into the tracklist. As Coldplay inches closer and closer to their final album, Music of the Spheres feels like filler, feeling

Music of the Spheres is supposedly a concept album: Martin was reportedly inspired by the fictional cantina band in Star Wars and wondered "what musicians are like across the universe." If this was their jumping off point, frankly, none of that comes across. Each song on this album (except "People of the Pride," which we'll get to) is undeniably Coldplay, with little experimentation

However, the album is delivered as a mishmash of ideas that misfire from the get-go, missing out on the potential it built in the lead-up to its release.
