I respect a report tommorow:P

I've been saying '42' will be the album title since the tracklisting was first announced... I'm sticking by that now.

One question how long is X & Y I have forgotten !

So I guess my theory about the temporary song titles is wrong then :bigcry:

i'll probably get the mug eventually, i think, maybe this summer. of course i'll read off everything on it!! so i'd just take a close-up picture of the text and post it.

 

i think 42 is the best album title out of all the track names that were given to us, but i dont know...it seems kind of cliched to me somehow, even though i cant think of another album that has a number as a name off the top of my head. i'm still kind of pulling for something that they havent told us for the title, like one kick-ass track name that theyve been keeping from us. of course, i like 42 MUCH better than prospekt :D

Well done for getting a good photoshop of that!

 

I've made out these, although some may be wrong:

 

Love

Chocolate

Football

U2

Fair Trade

Yoga

Yoda

Happiness

Trees

Surf

Music

Support Water Aid

Pianos

Care

which coldplay title do you think is the most kick a$$ i think AROBTTH for an album and title i think they should name there new album "7" beacuse thats the number of perfection an there new album is going to be there masterpiece so its perfect in essence!!!!!

Personally, I went for X & Y over AROBTTH because there's less gruesome connection to that image on the album cover! I mean, look at it - someone's head getting cut in two, and then some pinnacle of ice piercing the rest at some unknown velocity? I just this that's wayy too harsh, especially in light of all the sad chapters in recent history.. maybe it would have been fine had the artwork been less "graphic".. X&Y has multiple meanings, & is a very elegant naming.. much more peaceful.

Theres an album by Blur which was called a number. It was called '13'. And it wasnt a good album. But what would you expect from the number 13 anyway. Lets hope lp4 is not like that.

I can't believe it's been staring me in the face for sooo long....

And Damien Rice's most recent album is called 9...anymore for anymore?

i don't really need a mug (i'm eyeing a radiohead one already), and i'd never use the plate for fear of breaking/scratching it, so i've decided to go with this instead:

18 by Moby!

 

And for the record, 42 would be an awesome album title.

^ :laugh3: Your sig!... when I read you post it looked like Sam was saying "Four-Ty-Two!!"

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

It is neat that they put a hidden message in there but apart from the fact that it's a likely song title, it's not much of a hint...Johnny has a solo in almost every one of their songs anyway! :P

 

C'mon Coldplay enough with the ambiguity and out with LP4 already! :)

Well, I am actually watching some LOST episodes, and 42 thingie on the mug is even more mysterious than the series. :P

Following along the line of U2 appearing on the writings of the cross, read the following excerpt taken from this article. It is basically the number 42 popping from the U2 camp during the Sundance Film Festival....Interesting, too much man.

 

Bono had just finished playing me a demo track from their upcoming album, a song called "No Line on the Horizon" that he was inspired to slip into the CD player by the gorgeous white sunset settling over the surrounding mountains.

Bono looks back at the guitarist and says, "Edge -- look, it's 6 o'clock," and the two look from the green digits on the stereo to each other. Bono explains that numbers are significant in each of the new songs, and slips in another CD that may be the first track on the album. It's opening lyric is, "It's six o'clock..."

I said, "Isn't it weird how certain numbers seem to turn up in our lives? It seems like this kind of thing is especially common kind of game with musical people, who must make numbers and patterns a part of their art." "Yeah, we like numbers," Bono says.

Some friends of mine in a Pittsburgh band called Race the Ghost have that thing with 316, which would pop up with all of us at strange times -- the address of a party, part of an important phone number, the title of a Van Halen song, the row and seat number at a concert...

"Three-sixteen?" Bono says, turning down the music to ponder it. For a moment I think he's going to dismiss the phenomenon. Then he jerks his head toward the guitarist and says knowingly: "Edge's is 42."

"I discovered recently that it is actually the secret number of the universe," The Edge says.

"What is it?" Bono asks, and The Edge repeats himself. Bono feigns concern and says, "Steady on, The Edge..."

"Why is that funny? Quite honestly..." The Edge replies. He's so stoic it's hard to tell if he's joking -- but he's joking. "It was in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...But scientists have recently discovered that it's actually true..."

The Edge's voice is then drowned out as Bono blasts the volume on his jangling guitar intro, just in time for the "six o'clock" lyric. Bono sings along with himself for a moment, then turns the sound down again and looks back at the guitarist and smiles sarcastically: "Say it again...Sorry, Edge, for interrupting you, oh master of the universe."

The Edge is undaunted by his friend's teasing and describes a mathematical study about 42 recurring in formulas relating to mass, energy, speed and other physical properties. It's clear he's the scientist, and Bono is the poet -- but both see a mysticism in numbers from different directions.

While transcribing the interview recording, I was trying to Google the number 42 and see what Edge was talking about. But I stopped when I noticed something...

This discussion started precisely at minute 42 on the recording. No joke. I went back to 3:16 on the recording, and that is the precise end of my very first question.

Coincidence...or Mysterious Ways?

And if you may, follow this discussion sprouting at Interference.com

It is juts too much, something is brewing here.

 

^ Hahaha!

I really love these observations you know. Puts the rest of us to shame!
