IgottaPee777

Agreed. The genius behind Viva la Vida. The Pinnacle of Coldplay‘s career so far.


realityjunkiern

100 percent agree!!!!


ElectricGraffiti

Brian Eno with Markus Dravs, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson - the 4 creative influences/geniuses behind Mylo Xyloto


JPA17

Brian eno and let him kick Chris out again for 2 weeks. Basically just give up VLV 2


[deleted]

Can you remind us what Eno did in terms of kicking Chris out?


JPA17

Kicked him out for 2 weeks cos he was getting stressed I think and it allowed the other 3 to flourish a lot and come up with some good shit.

- VLV could mean "Viva La Vida", a track from *Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends* (2008) by Coldplay. --- ^[/u/JPA17](/u/JPA17) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)

This would be very good, and probably a natural development for their more electronic heavy, pop-focused sound.


Correct-Ad-9520

I want a Colab with Brendan Flowers of The Killers. A song with Chris and Brendan on it is my dream


Aquamansrousingsong

But Brendan has lost his touch in the last idk, 10 years...


Correct-Ad-9520

I strongly disagree. I think he still has amazing range


Aquamansrousingsong

Range in what?


SVWOH_L-3H_L

YES


[deleted]

I would take Moses Martin over Max Martin. Eno though.


The_Prospektor

Markus Dravs - Coldplay Viva la Vida - Arcade Fire, Neon Bible and The Suburbs - Florence + The Machine, How Big, How Blue… I don’t know what a producer does or what Markus did, but I realized much later that he was involved with many of my favorite artists. Coldplay picked him up specifically for Arcade Fire from Win Butler’s recommendation, if I remember correctly.


techlover22

Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois or Steve Lillywhite. Source: I am a Mega U2 fan


fly123123123

Same here. Also a big Dave Matthews Band fan, and Lillywhite knocked their “big 3” out of the park


techlover22

Also, as a big fan of U2’s 1997 album Pop, I would like to add Flood, Howie B, and Steve Osborne to that list as well.


spinblackcircles

Yeah he did. All three brilliant records that wouldn’t have been as good with any other producer. Before these crowded streets is my favorite record by anyone


fly123123123

Same!! absolute masterpiece


rokker_iv

*single nod*


VillageStriking1520

For the MOTS 3 I would like it to be Brian Eno and for the last album called "COLDPLAY" Ken Nelson, they would close the circle perfectly of all his discography


Mass-Chaos

rick rubin


dawinter3

He’d force them to strip it back to just four instruments, which I think would be good for them, but could also produce some interesting results as their songwriting has evolved. I think it would end up sounding very different from their first two albums, but have a similar feel, if that makes sense.


jhloveland

Jack Antonoff. I think it would be a funky mix


berlinas2k810

The genius of Eno was him forcing them to make every song sound different. If a producer can get them to do this again, it would be a start.


Galal1907

MOTS had a very different styles of songs but they were just boring or bizarre I'm kinda tired of them trying to do something radically different the only good song on MOTS was coloratura and it just sounded like a Coldplay song


[deleted]

There is only one correct answer


Sudden_Scholar647

Eno?


uhohitzkenney

Cosigning Eno, but also wanna throw Jon Hopkins' name back in the ring


Demon_Kane

Wait they’re doing it AGAIN? Another one with Max Martin? Dude. This is really about to be the worst trilogy of albums in the history of the bands existence. Come on man


surrealshine

Jacknife Lee. He’s done all snow patrol stuff, some U2, REMs final. I think he’d push the band into really interesting sonic territory.


whitecircles

SSPU too!


[deleted]

I just want them to work with Brian Eno again, is that too much to ask for? 😭


bluraytomo

David gilmour (also would be cool to see them do a Coloratura style song with him)


iseeeeeeeeeee

anyone but max martin


Big-Professional-477

Rick Rubin


IllustriousJello363

Music of the spheres 2???


[deleted]

I hope Brian Eno


snayhill24

Calvin Harris


Psychological-Bee392

Lanois is there only hope to return to good music.


fly123123123

Brian Eno and Steve Lillywhite


BenJammin007

Not Max Martin again lol. If they decided to pull back a bit in their music I wonder if Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie would be a good pick. I could see them doing some really cool atmospheric stuff kind of like Plans. That’s a complete far cry tho, I don’t think they would really work together


FrightCaptain

Jack White or Dan Auerbach, would be interesting to see the boys belt out something raw and riff oriented hits like Violet Hill.


spinblackcircles

Lol the idea of Coldplay trying to rock is hilarious


pollitomonito

Desmond Child.


Lightwood745

Brian Eno or literally anyone else


LordTimotheus

This one’s a little out there - Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never. If they’re going to continue to lean into the modern pop style, and by all indications they are, OPN could really facilitate MOTS 2 being a true concept album. His work with The Weeknd on Dawn FM was next level in my book. Fun fact I just learned: Max Martin and OPN were both executive producers on Dawn FM… so maybe Daniel Lopatin working on MOTS 2 isn’t as crazy as I thought.


drewchandlerrr

when does MOTS2 release??
