I think they're gonna expand the palette of sounds on LP5. I have really high expectations for this album but I don't think I'll regret it, I'm sure it'll be great. Viva was fantastic for me personally because the sound was so much different from the X&Y era, but still so great and melodic. I like that album best, and I think with every album Coldplay are becoming greater, but every next album seems to be better than the previous effort (even though X&Y was maybe not as good as Rush of Blood for some). I think we're in for some exciting times and great songs.

LP5 will be amazing, no doubt, and it will surpass everything Coldplay has ever done, EVER.

When you're too optimistic, the possibility, that you'll be dissapointed, is higher, so I'll alteast wait til we/I hear the first single.

 

Oh but I actually like the title "Princess of China". :escaping:

Believe it will be amazing, and it will

Believe it will be crap, and it will

 

I think it'll be great, so to me it will be great

I have no room for disappointment when it comes to Coldplay

I doubt it's a hate. I understand why X&Y looks like a disappointment for many but nevertheless it was a step forward for the band. I don't hate Viva but as you mentioned before I want more depth. And now I even more enjoy and like Prospects EP than VLV.

 

Well I think it would be good if the band could record experimental (check this xylophone stuff) and small (means w/o other big people names like Eno) album.

 

I personally loved x&y so much and vlv. I also think it was a step forward for them. But even though I like x&y I see that it needed a little more depth in some songs. I love that xylophone video

 

I just want them to come back with the new album and prove everyone that doubted them wrong

anacaren08, in the end we all will be there on the show:)

I am looking this summer for a trip to Amsterdam or Barcelona or any other great European city to catch new show!

Double post.

First of all, I am not a Coldplay fan. I used to be.

My favourite Coldplay albums are Parachutes and Viva La Vida. Although I really loved Parachutes I'm beginning to think VLV is actually their best album. Brian Eno and co did an amazing job on working with them to build on their sound. Just listening to Cemeteries of London now, there are a lot of really pretty and interesting sounds going on in the background that I would expect to hear from bands like Radiohead. I'm serious. The songs themselves are not amazing but I think the way they have been recorded makes them so much better. Brian Eno is amazing (although I think he's made this album sound a little too much like U2 than it should...) I think if they had recorded with someone else then this album would have just been another rock album.

and to be honest, I think Death And All Of His Friends might be Coldplay's best songs. Fuck. I really like it.

I dunno, my music taste has matured to a point that I can appreciate different music even if I am not a huge fan of it myself. Alexa has been pretty immature in this thread, so has howyousawtheworld (can't really believe I'm saying that, as I am quite a few years younger than both of them.:P)

Anyway, I hope Coldplay build on the sound they had going on VLV with Eno and others for the new album.

 

Back on the real topic though, I think most of the song titles are pretty ridiculous. I hope the songs are better....

 

^Yah, pretty much.

I'm embarrased to say that I really like VLVODAAOHF, even in a Coldplay foum, and not by people who hate coldplay here, by the fans too.

 

stop being such hipsters.

Exactly What I Think...

you shouldn't be embarrassed at all; VLVODAAHF is wonderful (it's just my opinion, of course, but you still shouldn't be embarrassed to say you like something :P). :wacky:

I don't see why they have to eventually come with a bad album. But for certain people I bet they have already had THAT album, many hated x&y many hated viva, so well see who will think the next is THAT album, hopefully not me :P

 

Yea it seems like bands just run out of ideas sometimes..please coldplay don't be one of them!

 

I was never too happy about that guy Eno, I don't know I just feel he butts in too much with the creation of coldplay music. Like if he wants to make them to what he likes, to make them another U2. If coldplay were to have a not so good album, it would be Eno's fault :veryangry2: don't think many would oppose you sniping him out :P not even me, who I am not really the violent type :lol:

This.

And I wouldn't oppose anyway :D

That was a very childish way to dismiss what was said.

 

YOU BET YOUR TRICYCLE BANANA BRAIN!!!

What's up with the Hypnofeed on coldplay.com? If these 'mixing methods' are in any way a 'preview' of what we might see on LP5 I think I'm gonna hurl.

I think the hypnofeed stuff is things they stumble upon and then feel the need of share that stuff with us.

Yeah becuase I just NEEDED to hear more Jay-Z and autotune \m/

 

The autotune-ish part of Rainy Day was an epic fail. I don't want to hear Coldplay do that ever again.

I was reading some pages of the thread and found a post speaking of Brian Eno and I agree.

I know the competence of Brian Eno, he's a great producer but I honestly think that Coldplay doesn't need him. Look at AROBTTH, look at many many songs, I don't know, they have an inmense capacity to make wonderful works, amazing songs and albuns without a "famous" hand's producer. I love the simplicity of the songs: "Amsterdam, Warning Sign, A Message, Trouble, etc etc etc... I like the VLV album, but I felt a huge "comercial hand of the producer", a huge difference. I like it, obviously, it's a Coldplay album and a great album but I prefear the other 3 than it. I felt the other 3 are more Coldplay. I wanna feel them!

 

I hope an album with more guitar (they already said), I want an album more agressive. Well, my expectations are the best!

I can't hear this stuff anymore.

"VLV is commercial..."

 

That isn't thruth. They selled AROBTTH and X&Y also about 10 million times!

 

Except Viva la Vida and Lost, maybe also Lovers in Japan, there isn't any other typical "pop-song" on this album. All the other songs are just like a perfect painting.

 

I understand if someone say: "ok, I liked the unfinished style of AROBTTH more than the seemingly perfection on VLV" - but don't tell this "Commercial"-stuff, please.

apart from Viva La Vida and maybe Violet Hill I think VLVODAAOHF is the least commercial coldplay album...

Yes!

This album is just perfect (the music), there are so many little sounds in the background, so many effects, it's so varied. Their is often a perfect transition between two songs...thats just amazing!

 

But the question is, if the album sounds perfect for the individual person.

But it is fact, that Viva la Vida is the pure perfection of music. Not everyone must like it.

 

(Please correct my bad English!) ;);)

Rainy Day is one of the best songs I ever heard from Coldplay... ;)

I love this song so much...

In my opinion, VLV was definitely the most 'commercial' album that they have produced, in the way it was received too. I just feel that it was a bit of a cheese-fest at times. Not as believable and pure and incredible as the first two albums.

 

Viva La Vida (the song) was also one of the biggest songs in the world when it came out, used on an APPLE advert too........ :uhoh: cannot get more commercial than that. :dozey: bleuuch

I have a bad feeling about it, don't know why. Hope I'm wrong :worried:

 

I do too :uhoh:. That's usually way less neutral than I'd talk about something that we have yet to hear anything from, but secretly I felt the same way about VLV, and my concern only grew after hearing "Violet Hill," which I really didn't like at first. But in the end, I think that album was a great piece of work and ultimately great, even if when we first got the tracklisting and heard the titles, I was like "OH NO, THESE ARE TERRIBLE, IT MUST MEAN THE ALBUM WILL BE TERRIBLE." Turns out "Strawberry Swing" and "Lovers in Japan," which I thought were probably the worst two titles on the list, ended up being two of my favorite songs on the album. So I'm not going to make calls just based on the titles, even if I find them very worrying-sounding. But..."Every Teardrop is a Waterfall"? "Hurts Like Heaven"? :inquisitive:

 

I said this earlier today in another venue and got some snide remarks for it, but I'm going to say it again just because: I personally think Coldplay have already made their masterpiece in AROBTHH, like that article suggests. That's just my opinion. I like their first two albums and all the stuff prior to 2003 much better than all the stuff since. That doesn't mean I think X&Y and VLV are shit or that I think they should just give up and stop making music, though. I absolutely love all of their albums, I just think the last two pale when compared to the first two for me personally. I still go nuts for them, though, because I think what they produce is consistently pretty amazing--I just happen to like the vibe of their early stuff most.

i agree 100% with u

The song titles look great, not as good as their previous, but...

The "masterpiece" thing... well, in my opinion, AROBTTH is already their masterpiece and it's REALLY hard that a new album can beat it.

Specially because most of my favorite songs from them are in AROBTTH, like Clocks and In My Place...

Anyway, I don't have a bad feeling about it. I think they changed in VLV, but it wasn't a bad change at all! Maybe if they mix both styles, the "old-Coldplay" style and the VLV style, they'll finally get their masterpiece, pleasing all kinds of coldplayers =D
