April 11, 200818 yr Remember the days of the great Beatles when you buy an album expecting to get 13-15 songs out of it? What is with this 8-10 song bullshit? Don't get me wrong, Coldplay is in my top 5 for greatest bands ever but I have been waiting for this album for 3 years just like everybody else and all they can fit on the final tracklisting is 10 songs?? C'MON!!!! I mean am I the only person that shares this sentiment??
April 11, 200818 yr Plus hopefully 1 or 2 top division tracks released independently, and about 10 other tracks that will hopefully be b-sides. Don't panic! They said all along they wanted it to be a great ALBUM that was concise. I hate albums that go on and on and on. It'll be a great album for sure and, fingers crossed, there'll be loads more new tracks released in some way or another. Don't panic.
April 11, 200818 yr quality over quantity :wink: as long as it's more than like 5 songs, i don't care how many there are, as long as it's good.
April 11, 200818 yr I would rather listen to 10 quality songs than 13/14 songs with a few that are not so good.
April 11, 200818 yr Think yourself lucky it's ten, it was originally nine :P Heh, I was just about to mention that it's actually one more than I expected. I'm gonna complain now, because ten tracks is not what we were told we'd get. ;p Except...not really.
April 11, 200818 yr quality over quantity :wink: as long as it's more than like 5 songs, i don't care how many there are, as long as it's good. yeahh I'm agree and also they'll release some b-sides so it's not that bad

C'MON!!!! I mean am I the only person that shares this sentiment??[/font] it's very difficult to make everyone happy... anyway, the songs on the new album will be 12, cause track 5 is a double song (lovers in japan /reign of love) and there will be a hidden track, too and if you consider they initially talked about 9 songs... well, dont worry be happy!!!
April 11, 200818 yr Would you prefer a 10 track album where all 10 tracks are excellent or a 15 track album where 5 of the tracks are filler material.
April 11, 200818 yr track 5 is a double song (lovers in japan /reign of love) Doesn't have to mean it's a double song or something. Weird Fish/Arpeggi is 1 song, right? But maybe you're right though ^^
April 11, 200818 yr Would you prefer a 10 track album where all 10 tracks are excellent or a 15 track album where 5 of the tracks are filler material. THANK YOU, DAVID!! Labels pressure bands to add more and more material since the format allows for more...and indie bands feel they have to do it too...but I'd much prefer their best instead of what they feel is second rate. They can put their lesser songs on B-SIdes, and we'll still get to enjoy them.
April 11, 200818 yr agree with everyone. 10 songs is FINE! x&y had most songs of any albums and i think we all agree a few of them couldve been left off... i have two words about 10 song albums..... "IN RAINBOWS."
April 11, 200818 yr Exactly...You and David are saving me a lot of typing in this thead,lol. You've said it all.:) Back in the old days, 8 used to be the norm.

C'MON!!!! I mean am I the only person that shares this sentiment?? Propably... I cant think of that many beatles albums which didn't have filler and Coldplay songs tend to be more than 2 minutes and a half each. Actually the average beatles album is 40 minutes, as long as CP's latest.

C'MON!!!! I mean am I the only person that shares this sentiment?? you are right, you were expecting 15 songs of 2:30 minutes, but now we expect 10 songs of 4 minutes, with better sound, and quality, all we want is quality.
April 12, 200818 yr ITS NOT 10 SONG but 11 "the escapist" is a hidden track read the rolling stone article that song is still gonna be on the album peeps also who cares if its not 15 song better 10 great songs than 15 crappy ones also originally it was gonna be 9 songs!! so they gave us 2 more:lol:
April 12, 200818 yr lets hope viva la vida is just as good as in rainbows cos it will take some beating. in rainbows is a true masterpiece.
