YoungDreamer Posted September 30 Posted September 30 After Coldplay releases its 10th album, "Moon Music," on Oct. 4, the band will only make two more, said frontman Chris Martin. "We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that's real. Yeah, I promise," Martin said in an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe (via People). "Because less is more and, for some of our critics, even less would be even more! It's really important that we have that limit." Emphasizing why the band is self-imposing the limit, Martin added, "There's only seven 'Harry Potter' [books]. There's only 12-and-a-half Beatles albums, there's about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes. Also, having that limit means the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it's almost impossible, which is great."

HausOfPunk Posted September 30 Posted September 30 They literally announce their "retirement" every few years I'm starting to think this is a tactic to sell more tour tickets. 5 1
prézli Posted September 30 Posted September 30 They said it like 5 years ago that the next one would be the last and it never happened. They're an awful band, I hope he doesn't lie this time!!! 8 6 5
Domination Posted September 30 Posted September 30 They haven't released good music since Mylo Xyloto so the sooner the better. 6 2
NEX Posted September 30 Posted September 30 I mean the last time they released a decent album was when Obama secured his first nomination, and even that one was only half decent. They really burnt out by their 4th album and offered nothing interesting since. Should have followed the example of someone with a shorter discography rather than the Beatles 2 2

Imaginary Friend Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Is the high quality in the room here with us? I love some of their music but let's not act like the quality has been maintained throughout their career.... 2

javieraloud Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Yeah, two more albums plus two more tours of about 5 years each, so they are not going anywhere

jezebelvictoria Posted September 30 Posted September 30 What a stupid reason. I would make music because I like it not because of what "critics" think. 2
