January 12, 201115 yr http://www.nme.com/news/coldplay/54536 Hey dear Coldplayers, I've big news. We have finally TWO song titles of the LP5! :dance: Tell me what you think Coldplayers and don't forget the poll ! :wacko: Enjoy. :D Coldplay's Chris Martin has told NME that the band are striving to write their "masterpiece" with the follow-up to 2008's 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends'. The frontman, speaking in the new issue of NME, on UK newsstands today (January 12), or available digitally, spoke about new songs including 'Princess Of China' and 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall', before admitting that he thinks the band can better their previous albums with the new effort. "We still don't think we've delivered our masterpiece, so we're still trying to do it," Martin said. "As long as we feel like that and we're hungry… that's all that matters." The band have again been working with Brian Eno and Marcus Dravs on the album. "We were with Brian Eno for a long period just messing around," the singer said. "Now we're with Marcus, trying to turn that into something cohesive and under seven hours long. The worst mistake we could make, when we're the most Marmite-y of bands, would be to make a super-long thing". Coldplay are in the new issue of NME, on UK newsstands now, or available digitally. The issue previews the 60 most exciting albums of 2011, also featuring The Strokes, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Beady Eye, La Roux, Bombay Bicycle Club, Wild Beasts and 52 other acts, with in-the-studio reports and photos.
January 12, 201115 yr The Masterpiece... I definitely hope and I am pretty sure it will be. Well, There are clear signs that the boys are further expanding their Global dominance with titles like "Princess of China" (Chinese Sleeper Chant, ring a bell !!!)... I am pretty sure it's gonna get bigger, better and the same time intimate.
January 12, 201115 yr Princess of china just makes me think of aladdin. Which is kinda fucked up because Jasmine isn't even Asian. But whatever, ETIAW sounds good. Kind of. Lol
January 12, 201115 yr I was going to vote "meh" but then I remembered what happened to me after reading titles like "Lovers in Japan" "Yes" or "Chinese Sleep Chant", which I hated at first, but I ended up loving the songs so I voted "we'll see".
January 12, 201115 yr Hurry up, Chris. Well, no pressure... We want a masterpiece too, but I'll settle for wonderful music, which you've done so far, so don't take too much longer. Ok, mr. perfectionist.
January 12, 201115 yr Author Well there will be some previews of the songs so I don't think that they will change them.
January 12, 201115 yr Well there will be some previews of the songs so I don't think that they will change them. When do you think?
January 12, 201115 yr Author In the next number of NME, around the 15th. But I'm not sure if there will be previews but maybe more details. But I'm really not sure.
January 12, 201115 yr I think that they will make the next album sound like viva la vida - even though I love this album I hope that they don't repeat themselves. But Princess Of China,Lovers In Japan, Chinese Sleep Chant, what the hell is it with you Chris?
January 12, 201115 yr Coldplay ‘Still Trying’ for a Masterpiece Don’t stop believin’. Chris Martin recently told NME that Coldplay is still hungry for a masterpiece. “We still don’t think we’ve delivered our masterpiece, so we’re still trying to do it. As long as we feel like that and we’re hungry… that’s all that matters,” he said. It’s a funny thing about masterpieces these days—they’re usually better defined as such in retrospect. Arcade Fire’s “Funeral” was beloved instantly, but more than anything the record heralded the arrival of a band that was sure to change the future landscape of indie rock. It wasn’t until “Neon Bible” and “The Suburbs” came out that “Funeral” really started getting revered as a “masterpiece,” per se. Same thing with Radiohead—”Ok Computer” rocked the music world as soon as it came out, but as I recall the excitement was at least as much about the future revolution the band was sure to unleash as it was about “Ok Computer” itself. And yes, there are “Kid A” loyalists and “Amnesiac” diehards out there, but when you test the waters for the last couple decades’ “masterpieces,” “Ok Computer” probably beats out almost any other record. On the other hand, albums that are foretold and heralded as masterpieces immediately upon their release, like Green Day’s “American Idiot,” often end up, well…on Broadway. Not that “American Idiot” isn’t a great record—it is. But the reverence reserved for records like “Funeral” and “Ok Computer”—the thing that makes them real masterpieces—is probably the same thing that precludes “Ok Computer: The Musical” from coming to Broadway. It may be true that Green Day’s new live DVD “Awesome as Fuck” will indeed be awesome as fuck. But my sense is that real masterpieces aren’t predicted or foretold, but rather earned over time, the same way you recognize your favorite movie by what you want to watch when you’re so sick you can barely think. Based on the trajectory of their recent material and what kinds of career arcs bands tend to follow, I think it’s actually quite likely that Coldplay has already written their masterpiece: 2002′s “A Rush Of Blood to the Head.” It’s their masterpiece the same way “Siamese Dream” is Smashing Pumpkins’ masterpiece. And they should be proud of it—it’s a pretty great record. If they do, in fact, put out a new masterpiece, we’ll probably know in about 8-10 years. http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/44189/coldplay-still-trying-for-a-masterpiece/
January 12, 201115 yr Author I think that they will make the next album sound like viva la vida - even though I love this album I hope that they don't repeat themselves. But Princess Of China,Lovers In Japan, Chinese Sleep Chant, what the hell is it with you Chris? This. :disappointed:

January 12, 201115 yr I don't know... Remember, Coldplay have said stuff like this in the past. I'm really hoping that this album is good. I think it should be, but Chris said he want's to try something different. Let's hope he meant different in a good way... In a Viva-ish sorta way.:rolleyes:
January 12, 201115 yr Well I think AROBTTH is a masterpiece to me :D but if they can top that then wow, im really looking forward to their new stuff!
January 12, 201115 yr ^ lol at the Green Day title "Awesome as Fuck." Applies to Coldplay AND Green Day.
January 12, 201115 yr Well I think AROBTTH is a masterpiece to me :D but if they can top that then wow, im really looking forward to their new stuff! I agree:D
January 12, 201115 yr 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' i think its sounds like Amsterdam. I don't know why i thought like that :D I saw some news in Turkish web site : http://www.pastelzarlar.com/index.php/haberler/349-coldplayden-stuedyo-notlar.html i translated it ; *they're gonna work with Brian Eno and Markus Davis. *ten days after last viva la vida tour in wembley, they began work for LP5 with Brian Eno. *piano sounds will decrease and guitar sounds will increase with Jonny *they eliminated their songs and there was only 15 songs in their hand. Title of some songs : Hurts Like Heaven, Up With The Birds (can be a duet), Every Teardrop is a Waterfall... * the band is impressed from Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. And it may be the opening song of he new album. and also Every Teardrop is a Waterfall song title are being seen on the studio's wall with spray. besides, chris are influced from 70s graffitti art in this albüm. *theme of the albüm is : 'be yourself,express yourself even if it against to anyone and follow your passion' *title of the album is gonna be two words and start with 'M' *maybe you reailize that coldplay has a obsession to first letter of the song titles. Parachutes: 3 x S (Shiver, Spies, Sparks) [Arka Arkaya!] A Rush of Blood to the Head: 3 x A (A Whisper, A Rush of Blood to the Head, Amsterdam) [Arka Arkaya!] X & Y: 3 x S (Square One, Speed of Sound, Swallowed in the Sea) + 3 x T (Talk, The Hardest Part, Twisted Logic) Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends: 3 x L (Life in Technicolor, Lost!, Lovers in Japan) -first letter of 3 songs may begin with 'u' letter in LP5
January 12, 201115 yr Author I have a bad feeling about it, don't know why. Hope I'm wrong :worried: So am I.
