Wasn't it released today? what am I missing ??

 

The Lost! EP came out today everywhere except the US iTunes store ( :veryangry2: ). Prospekt's doesn't come out until the 19th-25th.

Hot prospekt

 

 

IF YOU thought COLDPLAY were just purveyors of precision-tooled, arena-slaying big rock ballads, you ain’t heard nothing yet.

 

Their new Prospekt’s March EP, which I’m the only journalist on the planet to have heard, is their most wildly eclectic offering to date. Thumping hip-hop jams, thundering metal workouts, Indian tablas and colliery brass bands all jostle for space on their brilliant, bold and, at times, bonkers eight-tracker.

 

I revealed back in August how the boys — frontman CHRIS MARTIN, GUY BERRYMAN, WILL CHAMPION and JONNY BUCKLAND — had recorded far more songs than they could fit on their most recent album Viva La Vida.

 

They have since collected the tracks together and will issue them later this month.

 

The EP kicks off in relatively conventional territory. Life In Technicolor ii is the opening instrumental from Viva La Vida with lyrics strapped on. Chris intones ominously about the end of the world, over the familiar, euphoric music.

 

Glass Of Water, meanwhile, showcases a pulverisingly heavy and never previously heard side of the band. It reminds me of MUSE at their most epic. Synths scream over thundering drum crashes and molten axe-riffage.

 

If only Chris still had his unruly mop of curls, they’d be perfect for him to head-bang along to this monster.

 

Howls

 

He howls about someone “spending their whole life living in the past, going nowhere fast”.

 

Echoes of BECK’s landmark hip-hop album Odelay are writ large through Rainy Day. Chris confronts the pressures of life in the public eye while a funky Californian breakbeat and sweeping strings motor the track along.The title track is woozily psychedelic with guitars gently chiming and strings sweeping. Chris asks: “Don’t you wish your life could be as simple as fish swimming round in a barrel when you’ve got the gun?”

 

Lost+ and Lovers In Japan (Osaka Sun mix) are both just moderately tweaked versions of tracks on Viva La Vida. But it’s the final track, Now My Feet Won’t Touch The Ground, which is the most audacious thing the lads have ever recorded.

 

It begins in standard Coldplay ballad territory with delicate guitars and mysterious lyrics. Chris sings: “Push my bones from the highest cliff to the seas below/Swoop down from the sky and catch me like a bird of prey.”

 

Then Indian finger drums and a swelling array of trumpets and tubas arrive to take the track off into an extraordinary place.

 

It’s brilliant. As is this EP.

 

It’s out on November 24, just five days before the lads hit the UK for their arena tour. Not to be missed.

Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground IS ITS OWN SONG.

 

 

 

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees.

^^ A good review!!! Ahhh, now I'm even more desperate to hear it! I really don't think I can wait until the 19th... :big cry:

 

 

If only Chris still had his unruly mop of curls, they’d be perfect for him to head-bang along to this monster.

 

They're growing back... :laugh3:

 

Judging from this review, the reason they haven't previewed Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground is because it's the most epic track... Why ruin it with a 30 second preview? This all sounds so good!!

Yeah, for some reason its the song I've been most curious about. After reading this review I'm finding it really difficult to contain my excitement.

LEAK NOW. I cannot wait any longer. :laugh4:

^^ I KNOW. I'm tearing my hair out over here!! :bigcry:

 

Maybe after this review it'll leak... It's obviously been sent to at least one reviewer now. *fingers crossed*

bands always send promo copies to radio stations and reviewers

HOLY SHIT. LOOK AT THIS.

SO I WAS RIGHT IT'S NEW YESSSSS RWOFISDJLK;/ADSHPI'FDKLS;/SK;/X,.Z

I know, but it still increases the chances of a leak...

 

EDIT: I didn't know that it was ever a question whether or not NMFWTTG was its own song! If it was just a SS remix, wouldn't it have been "Strawberry Swing&" or something? :P

Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground sounds amazing. I'm glad that they've been keeping the whole thing a secret, that makes it so much better when you finally hear the whole thing.

 

SO EXCITED! LEAK LEAK LEAK!

We should just start an "OMG PLZ LEAK NOW" thread :P

It'd be kind of pointless, but yeah, a thread like that would definitely be fun. We could help each other survive waiting. :P

It's hilarious how with VLV everyone was like, "I'm going to be patient and not listen to the leak. I waited three years, I can wait a few more days." And now for Prospekt's March, everyone is saying, "OMG PLZ LEAK LAWLZ."

 

Or some variation therein...

Oh I think it'd be very effective- Maybe it'd keep us all out of mental institutions... It might be too late for that, though ;)

 

I'm hoping sometime this week, as more and more advance copies are sent out... It better happen this week!

I was all for a VLV leak! I'm the most impatient person ever, the sooner I get to hear it the better :D

 

Plus, I ended up paying for like 5 copies of VLV when it came out, so it's not like I didn't give the band the money they deserve!

I'm able to wait and all, it's just that when you start getting really close to the release you get more excited and impatient. Well, with me, anyway.

Oh, don't worry. I've been on the leak bandwagon for any major release by one of my favorite bands for years now. After all, if it's available, why not listen? I don't have that much willpower. :laugh4:

ahh im soo excited!!!! can't wait fifteen days!

 

Me either!!!

I think Famous Old Painters is Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground... http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2624770#post2624770
