NEW COLDPLAY SITE! HUGE UPDATE! ARTWORK REVEALED!

Featured Replies

Oh, my last post has not yet been translated about how the record ends. Sure Zemy will do it.

 

And my last opinion, I think it's no coincidence that 3 characters fron the whole Delacroix painting, not the chopped part of the cover resemble Coldplay members. (Chris, Guy and Will).

 

Ends.

 

locust7.

Here's the rest:

The entire album carries the key guitar adhering more violent, more and significant "backin-tracks" more gritty that sentimental sketches of previous albums. As if Coldplay had planned a sound that was compatible with performances in big stadiums. The passage of pending or group. The attempt to be U2 or the Rolling Stones in large stadiums.

 

That style is very noticeable in the first single, the first item star "Violet Hill," which has given the group's own website. If you wanted to surprise with "Violet Hill" have done so. The whole issue of stigma oozes power, anger, almost like a conversation "If you love me, why not let me know?".

 

 

All the end of the album is almost a suite that ends with an appeal on the very title of the box Kahlo: "Long live the life and death and all his friends." It's a refresher on new worries musical sound, new trends on where the music can travel. Of course, not with karaoke. "The Liberte Guidant you people"

Hi, let me tell you that I want to share the emotion of "Violet Hill" going public. Last words, I've got to say is you won't be disappointed.

 

Here is a review in spanish of the whole record made by spaniard music journalist Julian Ruiz. He heard it all.

.

 

 

I might be wrong, but I think that guy hasn't heard the album. He doesn't tell anything we don't know, he just repeats what RS said, and the most important thing, why the hell would EMI send him the album, we have knew today that EMI will hold listening sessions for Viva La Vida on Wednesday and Thursday... I mean, he's not some important journalist, is he?

PaulSP, I just return because of you. You have no idea on that. EMI didn't send it. It was Chris...

 

Here's a photo of the journalist with Chris taken in 2005. In fact, Chris made a prologue for a Ruiz's book on music celebrities.

Ok, ok, I said I might be wrong, actually I prefer it this way, I just want him to give some new info.

El álbum ,que acabamos de escuchar por cortesía de los autores, arranca con una bella “Life in technicolor” ,convertida prácticamente en un instrumental ,aunque se le oiga Martin:”Baby, este es un mundo violento”. El instrumental posee una melodía que recuerda a los Coldplay de “Parachutes”. Chris Martin ,en su propia revolución estilística ,no quiso cantarla aunque tenía letra , temeroso a que recordara viejas canciones como “Yellow” . Había que romper el molde.

 

Todo el álbum lleva la clave adherida de guitarras más violenta ,más signifitivas y “backin-tracks” más arriesgados que los esbozos sentimentales de los anteriores álbumes. Como si Coldplay hubieran planeado un sonido que fuera compatible con las actuaciones en grandes estadios. El paso o la asignatura pendiente del grupo. El intento de ser U2 o los Rolling Stones en los grandes estadios.

 

Ese estilo es muy perceptible en el primer single, el primer tema estrella “Violet Hill” , que se ha regalado en la propia web del grupo. Si pretendían sorprender con “Violet Hill” lo han logrado. Todo el estigma del tema rezuma potencia, rabia ,casi como una conversación “Si me amas, ¿por qué no me dejas conocerme?”.

 

 

Todo el final del álbum es casi una suite que acaba en un recurso sobre el propio título del cuadro de la Kahlo:”Viva la vida and death and all his friends”. Es un repaso sonoro sobre nuevas inquietudes musicales , sobre nuevas tendencias donde puede viajar la música. Y,desde luego, no con el karaoke. “La Liberté guidant le people”

 

I'll attempt translate this to the best of my abilities;

 

The album we just finished hearing, thanks to the courtesy of the authors, Starts off with a beautiful "life in technicolor", turned into virtually an instrumental, eventhough you hear martin [say] "Baby , this world is very violent". The instrumental has a melody, that reminds Coldplay of "Parachutes". Chris Martin in his very own Stylistic revolution, didn't want to sing it even though it had lyrics, fearful that he might remember old songs like "yellow". He had to break the mold.

 

The whole album has the key of having more voilent guitars, more meaninful, and "backin-tracks" that are more daring, than the previous sentimental outlines of earlier albums. Its like coldplay had planed a sound that is comparable to the large stadium acts. The step or the course pending the group. The attempt of being u2 or the rolling sotnes in large stadiums

 

This style is very noticeable in their first single, the first star theme "voilet hill" that is being given away free at their own website of the band. If they pretended to surprise [everyone] with "Violet hill" they have accomplished it. All of the stigma of the theme resounds power, anger, almost like a conversation, "If you love me, Why dont you let me know let me [get to] know myself"

 

All of the final [part of the] album is like a suite that finishes of on the title of frida kahlos painting " Viva la vida and death and all his friends". Its a sounding glance at new musical uncertainties, which have new tendencies in which the music can travel. And of course, not with the karaoke "la liberte guidant le people"

 

 

Tough translation :S

when i searched and made an enquiry for MSG it was said that some competition is announced on official coldplay site for tickets.

 

but i love this photo so much you've posted.

 

and you're great thanks for that information.

 

but there are not great reviews for their 4th album it seems,i don't know why people what they think about any other good bands apart from Coldplay no one does much as they.

 

i really feel bad for that.

Inteligentemente, el título del cuadro de la Kahlo ha servido a Martin para diseñar el tema más atrevido, perspicaz, romántico y libre que hemos oído en mucho tiempo. “Viva la vida” posee unos colores sonoros únicos ,quizá apoyados por la paleta de Brian Eno –productor entre otros de U2- y dibujados en nuevos estilos jamás abordados antes por Martin. Como si Coldplay fueran los hermanos modernos y vanguardistas de U2. El estribillo es perfecto, demoledor, impecable.

 

 

Another attempt at translation :P

 

 

Intelligently, The title of Kahlo's painting has helped Martin to design the most daring, wise, romantic and free theme that we have heard in a long time. "Viva la Vida" Has some unique music colours, perhaps helped by the experience of Brian Eno - Producer among others , of U2 - and drawn in new styles never before attempted by Martin. Its like if Coldplay are the modern brothers, and safekeepers of U2, The Refrain is Perfect, Demolishing, impeccable

oh yeah! This made my day! Tomorrow I'll be able to listen to violet hill yeah baby

PS: you are good at translating! it's really hard to translate!

I live in canada :P so i know both languages fluently, having said that, this was particularly hard to translate.

yeah it's not easy to find the correct words.

I have a doubt, will violet hill be available on coldplay.com from tuesday (damn I thought thurdsay)12:15pm UK time the whole day or one week?

I might be wrong, but I think that guy hasn't heard the album. He doesn't tell anything we don't know, he just repeats what RS said, and the most important thing, why the hell would EMI send him the album, we have knew today that EMI will hold listening sessions for Viva La Vida on Wednesday and Thursday... I mean, he's not some important journalist, is he?

 

i have to say... i was thinking the same exact thing. he doesn't say anything we havent already heard about any of the tracks. i doubt he actually heard it...

La noticia es la que manda. No hay duda que es El Álbum, la sensación del año. Tenía miedo de que este cuarto trabajo de Coldplay no cubriera las expectativas, pero no sólo es que no me haya defraudado, sino que me ha sorprendido. Sólo el tiempo da la razón, pero supongo que es una obra maestra. Un clásico.

No me extraña que lo haya titulado 'Viva la vida', en homenaje al famoso cuadro de Frida Khalo de las sandías. El tema que da título al álbum es una canción magnífica. Aventurada, llena de matices y con un estribillo soberbio, impecable.

El álbum empieza con 'Life in Technicolor', con una melodía muy 'coldplay', eterna. Ignoro por qué la han dejado como un instrumental.

'Violet Hill', que es el primer 'single', es como experimentar en unas nuevas vías, muy al estilo de U2, pero que el grupo irlandés no se atrevió o no quiso verlas. Se nota en este tema la mano de Brian Eno como productor y su trabajo en U2. Aunque Chris Martin se ha llevado muy bien con el ingeniero de Eno.

Otra de mis grandes favoritas es el tema llamado '42', con el sentimiento típico de Martin y su voz que penetra en el alma. Pero los 10 temas están sumamente cuidados, repletos de sorpresas, con más guitarras que nunca.

La portada es el famoso cuadro de Delacroix de 'La Libertad guiando al pueblo', que se encuentra en el Louvre. Estamos en mayo. Tiempo de revoluciones.

Coldplay presentarán el álbum en directo en el Brixton Academy de Londres, el próximo día b>16 de junio, que coincide con la publicación oficial del disco. Una semana después, el lunes día 23, lo presentarán también en vivo en el Madison Square Garden. Ambos conciertos serán gratuitos.

Este es el orden de canciones en el álbum:

  1. 'Life In Technicolor'
  2. 'Cemeteries Of London'
  3. 'Lost!'
  4. '42'
  5. 'Lovers In Japan/Reign Of Love'
  6. 'Yes'
  7. 'Viva La Vida'
  8. 'Violet Hill'
  9. 'Strawberry Swing'
  10. 'Death And All His Friends'

A lo largo de esta tarde, profundizaremos más en el contenido del álbum.

 

 

Un escalofrío recorre la espina dorsal de la industria discográfica . El cuarto álbum de Coldplay , titulado “Viva la vida” puede salvar el honor de un negocio en vías de extinción. Sobre todo , supone un balón de oxígeno para Guy Hands , un “espontáneo” que saltó al circo de la música al comprar EMI - el sello de los Beatles,Pink Floyd, Queen- , como supuesto “pelotazo” de su compañía de capital riego Terra Firma. Pero a los pocos meses , este pequeño rey del karaoke- se dice que tiene más de una de la mayores colecciones del mundo- se dio cuenta que se había equivocado.

 

Another translation :P

 

The news is the one that leads. Theres no doubt that the album, the sensation of the year. Had fears that this fourth piece of work from Coldplay, didn't live up to the expectations, but not only has it not let me down, it has also surprised me. Only time gives the reason [why], but i suppose its a master piece. A classic. It doesn't surprise me that they have titled it 'Viva la vida' as an homage to the famous painting of Frida Kahlo of the Watermelons. The Theme(song) that gives the album its title, is a magnificent song. Adventurous, full of shades and with an outstanding, impeccable refrain.

 

The album starts of with 'Life in Technicolor', with a very , everlasting 'coldplay' melody. I ignore it because they have left it as an instrumental.

 

'Violet Hill', which is the first 'single', is like experimenting in new ways, very much to the style of U2, but in a way that the Irish group didn't dare [to do] or didn't want to see it. In this theme you can notice Brian Eno's hand, as producer, and with his experience with U2, Even though Chris Martin has gotten along well with the engineer Eno.

 

Another one of my most favourite [songs] is the theme called '42', with the typical feeling of Martin, and his voice that penetrates the soul. But all the 10 themes are highly guarded, Full of surprises, with more guitars than ever.

 

The Album art is the famous painting of Delacroix of 'liberty guiding the people' which is found at the Louvre. We are in May. Time of revolutions.

 

Coldplay will present the album live at the Brixton Academy of London, the next 16 of June, which coincides with the official release of the album. One week later, Monday 23, they will also perform it live at the Madison Square Garden. Both concerts will be free.

 

The order of the Track list

this after noon we'll go more in depth on the contents of the album

 

Goosebumps(or shivers) run down the spine of the disc industry. Coldplays fourth album, titled "Viva la vida" can save the honour of a business at the brink of extinction. Above all, it puts a bag of oxygen for Guy Hands, a "spontanious" that jumped into the world of music, by buying EMI - the label of the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen-, like a ("pelotazo", literally means 'getting hit by a ball') he sowed his company, Terra Firma . But after a few months, this small king of karaoke- is said to have one of the biggest collections in the world-, realized he had made a mistake.

I posted this on another thread, but I'll post it here too:

 

On the coldplay admin site, there is a new icon picture beside the web address toolbar. It says "VIVA" with the same red and black color scheme on the front page of the official website.

 

Link: http://www.coldplay.com/admin/index.html

 

I'm guessing this may be on the official website as well once the finished product is actually posted. Makes more sense than a blue star anyhow. Not too big of news, but it looks cool :)

yeah it's not easy to find the correct words.

I have a doubt, will violet hill be available on coldplay.com from tuesday (damn I thought thurdsay)12:15pm UK time the whole day or one week?

 

One week.:)

Sorry, what's new? I'm confused..the link of coldplay admin didn't work for me..??

The link of coldplay admin either is the old version or isn't working for me.

 

Something's going on :freak: or my nets is screwed :freak:
