* MayTheFarceBeWithYou: Chris pointed to ''Franchise/StarWars'' as an inspiration for the album's story of rebellion against a tyrannical space empire. This is most obvious in the video for "My Universe," which features a Star Wars-like opening crawl.

* EpicRocking: Colaratura goes on for over 10 minutes, the longest Coldplay song to date.

to:

* ConceptVideo:
** "Higher Power" has Chris dancing on the {{Cyberpunk}} alien planet Kaotica, before obtaining SuperSpeed and leaving the planet.
** "My Universe" tells the story of three bands living in The Spheres; Coldplay, {{Music/BTS}}, and [[FakeBand Supernova7]]. Music is forbidden across the Spheres and the bands are on different planets (Calypso, Floris, Supersolis), but they're united by DJ Lafrique on her Alien Radio ship through her "holoband". They come together to sing while being hunted by the Silencers. Near the end, the Silencers discover DJ Lafrique's ship, but she puts her ship into hyperdrive and escapes. DancePartyEnding ensues.
* {{Cyberpunk}}: The music video for “Higher Power” has elements of this, taking place in a NeonCity on a [[LandfillBeyondTheStars planet filled with trash]] that has advanced technology. Outside of the city, mountains of rubbish and debris cover as far as the eye can see.
* CypherLanguage: Each planet on ''Music of the Spheres'' has an accompanying alien language. Notably, the "Higher Power" single had an alien {{Wingdinglish}} CypherLanguage created for the album promotion called Kaotican, and it was used heavily during the early marketing as a puzzle for fans to crack.
* EpicRocking: Colaratura goes on for over 10 minutes, "Coloratura", which is the band's longest track to date at just over ten minutes.
* FakeBand:
** [=Supernova7=] in the "My Universe" music video, an alien band from the fictional planet Supersolis.
** "The Weirdos" are a fictional alien band that purportedly created the song "Biutyful" (sometimes credited as featuring both
Coldplay song and The Weirdos). The band is composed of puppets[[note]]Main singer Angel Moon, drummer Donk, guitarist Sparkman, keyboardist the Wizard, and manager Bruce Cakemix[[/note]] and appears in the music video for their song. The puppets, alongside Chris Martin, also did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKOzprv81kA live interview]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utm8SQn2rRY performance]] on Series/TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon to date.promote "Biutyful".



* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "Higher Power" is a clean all-ages song. However, near the beginning of the music video, Chris walks in front of a sign written in Kaotican. If pausing to translate, it reads "SEXSHOP." The sign is more visible and doubles as a FreezeFrameBonus at 1:21.
* {{Hologram}}: Holograms seem to be commonplace in the Spheres:
** The same group of multicolored holographic dancers appear in the official music video for "Higher Power", along with the official audio video and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiqEEr7CK2g Coldplay's 2021 BRIT Awards performance of the same song]].
** In the "My Universe" music video, DJ Lafrique helps Coldplay, {{Music/BTS}}, and [=Supernova7=] communicate by transporting them as holograms to each other's planets.



* NamedAfterTheirPlanet: Those from the planet Kaotica are called “Kaoticans.”
* NeonCity: The setting for the “Higher Power” music video.
* PrecisionFStrike: ''Music of the Spheres'' has exactly one F-bomb, located in the first verse of "People of the Pride", a rock song about rebellion and anger at oppression.
* SdrawkcabSpeech: Although not sung backwards, these lines from "Higher Power":
-->''I'm like a [[BrokenRecord broken record]]\\
I'm like a [[BrokenRecord broken record]] and I'm not playin' right\\
[[RewindGag Drocer nekorb a ekil mi]]''
* SoloDuet: In-universe, the high-pitched voice in "Biutyful" is sung by an alien named Angel Moon/Angelina. The band jests that whoever sings Angel Moon's part is "highly confidential", but it's Chris's edited voice. This makes "Biutyful" a love duet between Chris Martin and himself.
