RunForTheHills Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yet another "guess when it'll happen" poll :rolleyes: So people don't get confused, Rolling Stone said that the band want to release it as promotion for the album, not as a single. So it is most likely to be released before the single comes out (whenever that 'May' be... pun intended). So, when do you think it will be released, and how do you think the band will release it? (You don't have to give precise dates, but you can if you want to). Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winigwl Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 i voted may but i probably shouldve said april. I was thinking single instead of promo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 i voted march as an MP3 to be the optimist that i'm usually not. i'm harboring a tiny hope that it'll be up with the prospekt entry we're promised tomorrow or this weekend. i'm probably wrong, but honestly i won't be let down if they don't because this week has been so frick-fracking amazing that i could NEVER complain. i will be stalking the site tomorrow like NO OTHER. and i only have one class because the other got cancelled, so more time to spend in front of my computer in the name of coldplay!

RunForTheHills Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 You have classes on Good Friday? Well that sucks. I'll be stalking the site too, I'm almost certain for a tracklisting tomorrow. And I voted April as an MP3 - because, to be honest, I cant see it being released in the next ten days. Looks like we've switched places on the pessimism / optimism front :laugh1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 we get NO holidays off here. bastards. but one class was cancelled, so i should count myself lucky. especially since i've ignored all coursework. luckily it wasnt too pressing this week. argh, i already said bye and i'm still here. MUST PULL SELF AWAY. bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcoldplayer Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 In April, as a downloadable MP3 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam528 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I said April as a physical release, mostly because I don't think Coldplay is one of those bands that would put music up for download. Not because they don't have the initiative, but because they're constricted by EMI. Plus, I don't think they need MORE comparisons to Radiohead.

Cobalt Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 April, Physical Release. Coldplay would release it as an MP3 if they could, me thinks, but EMI won't let them. It'll probably be easy to find if you set up yer sails and yer pirate flag anyway. *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albie Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 This is my first post in a long time, I totally think whatever Coldplay has for us with this album will kick ass As Coldplay fans, we go through this all the time with the new album stuff we know at the end, COLDPLAY WILL impress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I hope it's not just MP3, I want a physical release!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy_o Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 ugh poll again :sick: but i think as a second single no matter how it will be released.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cephaus Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 A few possibilities, really. One is that they could give away this song for free (digitally) and give you an option to buy the physical copy (Which would include some other bonus stuff, maybe?).. sort of like NIN and Radiohead did. This would definitely draw a lot of attention from everyone. Another possibility is that they give it away to those who buy tickets for their upcoming tour as a special 'thank you for supporting us' type of thing. Either that or they give it as a special bonus to those who pre-order their albums via itunes or their website or something like that.. My last guess would be that they give/sell it as an independent song (adding B-sides?) by itself. my 2 cents. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan8 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Probably just as a downloadable mp3. The phyisical single is almost dead anyway. My guess when... April would seem most likely. March is optimistic :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 yeah, i take back what i said about march. i think april now. i'm less optimisitc about getting a prospekt entry this week as well, but that's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunForTheHills Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 ^ I thought you're optimism was too good to be true :bigcry: But I think the tracklisting could still happen. I'm 70% sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Didnt they make The Hardest Part Download only? they released it in a cd too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 switching optimisim/pessimism roles again, are we? :wink3: i find that when i completely convince myself that something won't happen, it usually does. but this time i'm not just tricking fate or whatever it is, i also don't really think they'll tell us this week anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayman Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm thinkin' it's gonna be a MySpace track, that's really become a standard form just since X&Y came out. I figure a song or two gets put on the player, much fanfare is had, and we all start gekkin' out. Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
