I happened to just notice something.

 

Is there still an absolutely definite title?

 

While, in the announcement of the album title on Coldplay.com, the upcoming album was, in fact, named Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, lately, Coldplay.com, or Politik, or whatever, has been referring to it as simply Viva la Vida.

 

More curiously, the album art has a big fat Viva la Vida, but is suspiciously lacking the ODAAHF. (or Death and All His Friends)

 

Coincidence? Just casual exception? Or have Death and All His Friends been exiled from the title?

 

Discuss.

Its already been discussed. :P

ACtually, we've been discussing all day,lol.

 

The band and the label are calling it by the full title, so that's good enough for me.:)

It would seem the early bird gets the worm. Or answers in this case. :P

 

Well, that, and the 16 year old high school kid with schoolwork has no time to check the freakin' boards leading up to the most important thing to happen to him all month. V_V

eh discussed.

Random title-related comment: It was funny when Chris told Jonathon Ross that they called X&Y "X&Y" because they couldn't spell xylophone :P

Self titled?

I guess this is Coldplay's penance for that. Ask a dozen first graders to spell this album title... Mega-Fail!

maybe the "death and all his friends" runs down the back, even though I hope it just stays "viva la vida".

EMI confirmed it in their press release
