svennn Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 i think there is no real discussion about it by now so i think i have to ask: don't you too think that the quote signs prospekt made to announce the album title earlier that week were set wrong? to my mind, coldplay will never make an album called VLVODAAHS. so prospekt wrote this: 'Viva la vida or Death and all his friends' but ment 'Viva la vida' or 'Death and all his friends' thats what i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Sarah* Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 don't think so at all, cause the quotation marks actually were a correction of the original entry (which was without quotations). so no, it's official :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 'Fraid not. There was some confusion when it was first posted and we all though it meant OR and we were all voting but then he amended it so there were quotation marks around it. It has also been cited as the title in this article: http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdail...udio-coldplay/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ahhh I didn't realise that Prospekt actually posted that without the quotation marks initially and that it was altered. I saw the 2 screenshots on the news page but didn't realise. Anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebs757 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 after reading it the very first time I honestly thought I was all one big title and then came over here and people were already voting on one or the other. Its not soo bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eh Steve! Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 maybe they will divide the album in have like they did with X 1-6 and Y 1-6. Im not really sure, though. Its impossible to know what coldplay's up too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanafg Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I think it's such a strange way of making a sentence, an album title or whatever. At first, it makes no sense at all, apart from the fact that it makes me think of themes like death and life, one side versus another side or how they're related. But it all seems too obvious. I shall wait and see it before saying (more) stupid things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 If the quotations were added later I think it could just as easily have been a joke. I hope so anyway. Maybe coldplay was just 'having a laugh'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 :lol: Hey, Ian! don't forget Brewer's Drip, Tennis Elbow and Runner's Knee! Believe me, there's been PLENTY of discussion on this topic!:lol: But there's always room for more. It does seem official now though. It's actually kind of following the recent trend in book titles. A lot of authors are coming up with extremely long subtitles to explain what the actual title means. It's not the exact same thing, but similar.
