A band like Coldplay strives whilst on the road. Once they get the knack of those songs down packed, they are amazing live... I remember seeing them at Madison Square Garden when they did a few gigs for free... :) I was lucky enough to see them free for a second time :) anyhoo.. thats not the point.. my point is, when I saw them back then, just as the album had dropped, the were still a bit rough on the new stuff... and now look! Wembley was a smash! The second half of this tour was mega! I am sure the boys had been (or have been) writing and fiddling with new ideas for music... One can only imgaine where they will take us next. I think that with the help and direction of Brian Eno on this last album.. it enabled the guys to go places with their music they never even had imagined. Making music with more than just a guitar, bass and drums... inner soul searching, writing lyrics off the cuff.. being a bit more expiremental with their creativity and such.. I think they can only keep going up.. to new heights!

 

next album is going to be groundbreaking.. different tunes, different feel... its going to be mega! AND I think this 5th record might be the last on the Capitol... I think... not sure how many records the deal was for... but when they do finally break free from the label... look out world! :)

i would like to hear something like this :awesome:

I think they want it to be their Sgt. Pepper

They want to make something they want to listen to not what EVERYONE wants to listen to

:cheesy: i didnt even think of that :D i hope it's like Sgt. Pepper now :wideeyed:

Me too homeslice!

:dance: i just cant imagine chris singing something like Being the Benefit of Mr.Kite:lol:

Probably not!

oh well :cool: i can actually see him singing Within you without you though :thumbsup: so there is still hope

Yeah, they already brought out bongos in LIT, that's only a short step away from a sitar!

 

Chris,Jonny,Will,Guy on Sitar:

:guitarist::guitarist::guitarist::guitarist:

so far, from this thread alone, im thinking the next album is going to be the most epic album ever made, they will be bigger than led zeppelin.

led zepplin wasn't as big as The Beatles

When I listen to The End i feel like they are climbing up to heaven as gods!

to be honest, i havent heard that song yet :shame:

but, i dont think any band will ever be bigger than the beatles :thinking:

basically impossible.

i think they could explore blues-rock, folk rock, country music, and gospel music a little more intensely on the next album. the momentum is definitely there for the next album to eclipse it's predecessors.

then being up at 2 in the morning instead of sleeping could be screwing up my brain.

I agree with you all for saying they will push further on the experimental/differents instruments stuff. Just look at the Eno sessions on the SBS, it doesnt' sound like the usual CP.

Plus, I think that Chris (by collaborating with other artists) and mostly Guy by doing a totally different thing musically with Apparatjik could bring really new ideas. BTW, I found that the Eno session on the SBS sound a lot like what Apparatjik does...Very experimental and dreamy. For those who doesn't know what Guy is doing in this, here some Apparatjik tunes:

I do want some experimentation, but it can't be a completely 'different' Coldplay, if they keep with Eno, they can't stray into the ambient kind of music, unless it has their classical elements in it.

 

They should push the folk/country, just a bit, maybe an EP with songs like the Dubliners or something like that, but I feel a full folk/country Coldplay album would turn me away a little.

Haha Coldplay releasing a country album, are u havin a laugh ? :lol:

i would HATE them if they made a Folk/Country album :evil:

yeah just a bit, i want to see them do AROBTTH with a twist or something

Yea that would be a lot better than country :D

i think something more on a For You side would work well.

AROBTTH quality with Viva happyness please.

Viva was happy :thinking: uhh, kind of i guess.

but viva didnt have anything like Green Eyes :D or Daylight.

More songs like Daylight too. I want more nature :D

Hmm, Viva always feels happy for me, dunno ... :P

I'd like some more Green Eyes too .... maybe Blue Eyes or something. :facepalm:

why :facepalm:?

marmalade eyes :wideeyed:

Yes!!! ... I can see it coming! Marmelade Eyes is the next Viva la vida! :stunned: :facepalm:

did you just face palm me:dozey:

its like strawberry swing, ya know, a tribute to the beatles :D
