Hopefully you have all seen the COLDPLAY COMEBACK story on the main page, but here is the newest infor:

 

Tracks which are expected to appear on the record include ‘Square One’, ‘Talk’, ‘Till Kingdom Come’, ‘X&Y’, ‘The Hardest Part’. Drummer Will Champion has also touted a new track enetitled ‘What If?’ as a possible single, telling the BBC, “I think it’s one to watch out for in my opinion".

 

Some of these track titles sound quite interesting. "X&Y" sounds like a very unusual sort of name for coldplay, while the others just show a new direction. I really like the name "Square One" could it possibly be the opener Mr. Champion was talking about? Whatever the outcome, it's great to see they think this is their best record yet!

woooooow!!!!!!

 

I can´t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

me either :P

It's great to finally have some info! :cool:

yeah, Coldplay must keep rocking on! :D

This could be their most impactful record yet, going on what NME have said. The Change is good, i mean if the beatles done songs in the same style as "Please Please Me" and "Love Me Do" would they have lasted as long as they did, and would they have a legend that has already lasted over 40years?

Song reviews

 

For the benefit of anyone too cheap to buy NME at £1.80, I have typed up their reviews of Coldplays new material. Enjoy.

 

Square One:

Probable first single. Built around a subtle electronic drum beat reminiscent of Brian Eno or Berlin-period Bowie, the song builds into a huge chorus featuring massive guitars and organ. Like Radioheads Paranoid Android it's perplexing on the first listen and appears to go off on different tangents, but after a few spins it sounds like their most ambitious and possibly best song yet.

 

What If:

Starting with a simple piano, a fragile-sounding Chris sings, "What if you decide/You dont want me there by your side..in your life". Realising that he cant completely control everything in life, he concludes "Every step you take could be your biggest mistake.../But that's the risk you take". This albums The Scientist.

 

Talk:

Another future single, 'Talk' takes the riff from electronic music legends Kraftwerk's Computer Love and builds a completely new song. It keeps the mechanical beat of the original but adds a huge guitar and dancefloor filling bass-line. Stadiums wont be big enough to contain it.

 

'Til Kingdom Come:

This was written for Johnny Cash but he died before he could record it. Coldplays version is a sweet Dylan-esque folk song on acoustic guitar. "For you I'd wait til kingdom come/Until my days, my days are done." Chris vows.

 

X&Y:

The dreamy, synth heavy song features the chorus, "You and me are floating on a tidal wave together/You and me are drifting into outer space." Beatles style strings suddenly appear towards the end, and the anthemic singalong "woo-hoo-hoo" outro is set to become the sound of next summers festivals.

 

The Hardest Part:

A classic Coldplay love song about loss and heartbreak, in which Chris sings, "The hardest part was letting go, not taking part."

:o
