A well know hardware/games publication posted their review after getting the CD early.

 

Some interesting stuff, and some confirmations!!

 

Coldplay's Viva La Vida Review :lol:

nice! thanks!

again nice review and nice people's comments also there!

Yeah, that was a good review, thanks! :D

Dang! Sweet!

Thanks, X&Y was featured in ChristianityToday.com's Glimpses of God segment and I have no doubt this will be as well because of all of the religious imagery and undertones. I didn't know Coldplay was so religious! I like it.

Sweeeeett preview of 42. thanks so much!

They just updated it and got permission to add Life In Technicolor Final Version :lol:

Oh its that version that was ripped from the video, phew :P

how come they used the same shit thats been floating around if they "have the album?"

 

somethin fishy.. not sure i believe it..

 

there's no real details in that review anyway

They claim it's the final version from the album--but then again reviewers usually get PROMO CD's and they could be slightly different. So it probably might be. I don't think it's fishy at all.

 

They just put up "Lost!" But it's a 256 version. They must have gotten it from a press inquiry. Retail might be a bit different then.

can't believe I made a vow to stop listening Coldplay until the album is leaked!!!

 

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o

No its not, the video has more tempo and a few other things are different.

 

This final version is amazing, thanks for that, someone make it a downloadable mp3 please?

HOLY CRAP! Life in Technicolor too??? FRIGGIN SWEET!!!! Awesome night tonight!

Oh, well i only listened to the beginning, whats different exactly?

 

Edit: I just listened to it, its exactly the same as the video rip, even the quality is the same. But i wouldn't be surprised if the final version was the same, just with a crisper sound.

It's the acoustic version. It's called 'Lost?'.

Yeh, its 'Lost?' not 'Lost!'.

 

As for LIT, its different than the video but only slightly, its proberly the finished album version.

^I still don't hear a difference. :P

Hmmmmm sounds like the accoustic version of lost to me.... I say its Lost?

Just listened to Technicolour for the 9th time. Sounds fucking amazing. Pardon my french =D

Haha, we've had it here for a good few weeks now. You should have joined us earlier! :D

The things I noticed was the opening part when it gets to around 0:50 is slower than the video, the tempo is slightly slower. The 'ooooohhhh' towards the end is deeper, not sure if I can find a word for it really but sounds different.

Yeah, I think LIT is just a rip from the video. It's exactly the same, musically at least. It even has the fade into COL. Any differences are probably down to the quality of the rip.

Exactly.

 

They might have accidentally slowed the clip down a fraction, but I don't even hear evidence of that. I'm 99% sure its the same.
