:lol:

man, this board is intense :o

I'm curious for the booklet, hope they have some nice pictures in it :cool:

From Wikipedia:

"According to lead singer Chris Martin, the title X&Y is based on the ups and downs of his everyday life. Martin says "My whole day is a mixture of optimism and pessimism in its most extreme forms. And that’s what X&Y is to me. It’s two sides. I like the fact they’re very strong letters, very clear."

 

So X are the optimistic songs, like Square One, What if, Fix You, Talk..etc and Y are the more pessimistic tunes like Speed of Sound, Low, Hardest Part, Swallowed in the Sea. The two sections represent the two sides of the album!

 

 

how is SoS a pessmistic song??? :thinking:

Wikipedia is not a source to be quoting after, though. Anyone can edit that therefore we really can't know if it's true; unless it's backed-up by a link or something.

 

I've started or contributed to 90% of the Wikipedia material on Coldplay, including albums and singles. And I included that reference to the album... it's straight out of NME's interview with Chris: http://www.nme.com/news/111874.htm

 

I more or less manage the Coldplay articles there, and trust me, it's all good! Maybe even moreso than Coldplaying.com

 

:) My screenname there is Madchester. You can track the good work that I've done there... building everything from scratch, more or less.

 

Madchester from the wedge board?

^

 

Yup that's me...

 

DG from MM boards does a lot of history pages on Wikipedia

Ha, this is reindeergirl. :P

As the pictures have already shown the front and back cover of the cd, i dont need to describe them.

 

Inside the front cover of the booklet, 1st page is just plain navy, the facing page is red with the tracklisting on it, and an '+' below Twisted Logic indicates the hidden track TKC.. with tracks 1-6 as X1-X6 and tracks 7-12 as Y1-Y6.

 

Next page - purple with 6 pics on it, in black and purple, all small, laid out in the same sort of X&Y configuration... the facing page is blue divided into 4 pics, black and blue, one of each of them, all very dark and not very clear, simple but effective.

 

Next page is the middle page with the whole X&Y, a-z laid out, i cant really describe it much better, looks a like the coldplayer layout.

 

Next page is yellow, again with pics in black and yellow, of each of them X&Y style, chris has headphones on in this on, all much clearer due to the yellow page.. the facing page is green with one big shot in black and green, of them all in the studio.

 

Next page is orange, with all the cd info on it, list of charity/organisation websites and "We are still obsessed with the idea of =fair trade= which could easily be achieved if problems with tariffs and subsidisation were addressed" then a thank you to everybody that looks after, advises, criticises and supports us.

 

Facing page is navy blue again with X&Y images on it in the X&Y colours and thats it, the back page of the booklet is navy with nothing on it.

 

Hope that helps keep y'all going till monday.... damn i love dublin :D

So do I! :D

 

Bear with me a while and I'll scan all the pages in...

Right:

 

 

 

 

 

 

They're all the inside pages in order. Everything else you've seen already. My album isn't copy protected though.

Why do people keep quoting that?

No problem guys. Anyway, it's half two in the morning and I've work tomorrow, so it's time to take X&Y off loop and head to bed...
