    Hey guys! I was just listening to a Mannheim Steamroller album and something came as a shock. They have a 2013 album titled The Music of the Spheres.

    Not only does Coldplay’s 2021 album have the same title as Mannheim’s but look at the COVERS?? Coincidence? Or hidden inspiration??

    This is lowkey blowing my mind. I know the bands are familiar with one another, but I haven’t seen much credit on the side of Coldplay given to Mannheim.

    Discuss :)

    Seems to be a blatant rip off.

    Facts, with NO media attention on this whatsoever. I imagine Mannheim will sue once they catch wind of this.

    I did some googling and it’s not mentioned anywhere else.

    They said it’s a sequel to X&Y, which seems like bullshit. It’s one thing to have similar album covers but to have the same name? Crazy.

    Right! The X&Y connection is a complete scam. They’ll probably use that defense to cover their ass in court but the blatant cover/title copying is unmistakable.

    Coldplay also has a history of stealing covers:
