February 22, 201016 yr EMI really need Coldplay............. Coldplay do not need EMI anymore......... They should remember that and instead at the very least got Martin to water down what he said.
February 22, 201016 yr I believe Chris at this point. Coldplay is bigger than ever right now, and there is a demand for this album. EMI will release it in 2010 if they're smart.
February 22, 201016 yr Author This means that EMI gets to tell Coldplay that they need to get an album out by a certain date?? That dosent seem fair and its almost certain to mess with the creative process.X&Y!
February 22, 201016 yr Chris better be right, that's all I'll say. :veryangry2: :P Or else..... :whip: :evil:
February 22, 201016 yr There's absolutely no way on earth it'll be ready by Christmas, since when do Coldplay keep deadlines? But who are EMI to deny what the lead singer says, as ridiculously optimistic as it may be.
February 22, 201016 yr I go with Chris because EMI is such a mess right now with Abbey Road and debt, so they should worry about other things then this release date.
February 23, 201016 yr EMI isn't doing so well lately. They really need to get their act together. Chris Martin is more of an enthusiast. So, I don't know who to believe. I think I am going to go with Chris. :smiley: He seems more reliable.
February 23, 201016 yr I'd be closer to believing EMI since they, you know, basically control the band. Maybe they're saving the album release for a rainy day or something... not that they aren't already poor bastards.
February 23, 201016 yr Unfortunately, the label markets the album, not to mention pays for its production. They probably have more say in when it gets released than the band itself does, especially considering how much of a dump they're in economically. They'll want to release this album at the most profitable time
February 23, 201016 yr The same situation with hints about new album was in 2007, so LP5t will appear in 2011 and EMI just faces us a true
February 23, 201016 yr This is okay, gives me more time to save money for the next concert. I might get enough for V.I.P... So, it´s all good.
February 23, 201016 yr Interesting theories as to why EMI would immediately respond to this. Let's face it, other than to us uberfans, this was a insignificant mention which could have easily slipped under the radar. EMI's quick & emphatic denial gives the story wings. I don't know enough about business to understand why a struggling business would hold back one of their biggest assets. However, I do know that there is a difference between recording an album and releasing an album so that means that both EMI & Chris could be correct. The band could have the album in the can, sealed & finished by Christmas but that doesn't mean EMI has to release it then. Who knows what's going on behind closed doors at EMI. Are they negotiating with outside investors, dangling a new Coldplay album at a specific time? Who knows? Also, does anyone know -- when a band contracts for a certain number of albums, is it spelled out how many of those releases must be new material? Can then fulfill their obligation by throwing in a live and/or greatest hits CD? And one last thought (sorry, I'm running my mouth...), I do think the boys were a little too visible for a little too long. I've friends who are casual fans and they were getting tired of seeing/hearing them everywhere. I think it will do them good to "disappear" for a bit -- and, trust me, it pains me to admit this!

February 23, 201016 yr Here's my theory: LP5 won't be announced until early Fall 2010, and the CD will release sometime between January - March 2011.
February 23, 201016 yr As much as I would love LP5 out by Christmas, I have my doubts, especially with the LA tour in between. Unless they already have everything written....:dozey:
February 23, 201016 yr If they do get the album finished this year, they probably won't release it until sometime early 2011.
