juanif94 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I don't see why they would change their Twitter display picture to the speedman unless it was an album cover, or a single cover, or some kind of artwork with the new album looming. it seems almost nonsensical for it to be their display photo for a lesser reason but I do look forward to seeing what it represents. I agree, maybe it's the artwork for the upcoming single. I don't think they'll upload the album cover if they didn't even tell us the title or the tracklisting. The most reasonable thing for me is that it is the artwork for the new single! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus_mosher Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It could also be an indicator to what the guys will be wearing on stage... and that's why it's been posted now ahead of their festival dates, in preparation. I love how they post something so insignificant and we all go nuts about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Why would you be surprised? we know next to nothing at all about this album and how, visually, it's to be represented. I mean, when previous albums have been released they've boasted album artwork. Never have they boasted single artwork on any medium other than the physical released copy/Digital itunes artwork. I hope it isn't the artwork though, something about it reminds me of the Radiohead greatest hits cover. EDIT: kinda does... lol I still see the album coming out in September/October after the end of their festival dates so it would seem pretty premature to release album artwork now especially in the form of a moving video!

kaisin Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It's kind of exciting but i'm not sure i'm going to like it if they go all 'cryptic Radiohead' on us :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, go nuts, get ahead of yourself - it's exciting! hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospekt. Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'd be happy with that as the album cover. Back to nice single background, single pictures covers from before the shite that was VLV. Also those potential lyrics already sound better than the storytelling shite that was VLV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also those potential lyrics already sound better than the storytelling shite that was VLV. I really loved the album artwork for all things VLV related, it was a nice break, but you're right in that it's nice to see what could be a nice simple artwork akin to Parachutes, AROBTTH & X&Y - plus it does fit in with that style.

juanif94 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I hope Coldplay goes back to the AROBTTH style, the artwork, the music, the enviroment, absolutely everything of that album was just perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, go nuts, get ahead of yourself - it's exciting! hah. I don't think I'm being glass half empty. I think I'm just speculating. It's just I honestly don't believe it's the album artwork. Perhaps it is but if I were a betting man I'd say it isn't. And I don't think we're going to see a return to any form of "old Coldplay" (first three album) with this album. Artwork, music etc. The artwork would be too much in the vain of old Coldplay artwork. Coldplay have to move on regardless of how good people thought the first few albums were in music, artwork, themes etc. Otherwise it'd just become boring.

Josh42 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 i didnt call you a idiot, and why has coldplay changed their display pic to that image...watch what you say, cause your coming off as an idiot >a idiot >your coming off :laugh3: It's not a bad thing! Lyrics like Noel Gallagher's for Coldplay would be a bloody great thing in my opinion! Noel Gallagher is one of the best lyricists in the world, in my opinion. I too would love for Coldplay to use more Gallagher-esque lyrics. I'd be happy with that as the album cover. Back to nice single background, single pictures covers from before the shite that was VLV. Also those potential lyrics already sound better than the storytelling shite that was VLV. Marry me. And for those saying the artwork for VLV was good... Come on! It was all so boring and unoriginal. vs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartjo Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I think this album will be containing 'PRIMARY COLOUR' concept. VLVODAAHF was about 'TECHNICOLOR' and now they will be showing us 'PRIMARY COLOUR' Though this is just my thought, but they've been showing some kind of colours since X&Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always loved seeing that type of painting/art, and the Life In Technicolor one was AWESOME Anyway, that's just my opinion. I also liked X&Y. And I'm not really sure why. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayisawesome Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I had no idea that "on" rhymed with "on". whoa just like how "was" rhymes with "was" (GOW) :wacko::P ivodjasklvjaskfdsajl i am excited. that walking dude looks pretty classy. :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I don't think by constantly watching the video sound is going to appear, that's just not possible. No that wasn't what I was saying. I was saying that people will just keep checking back hoping that they will update the video, not that playing it a certain amount of times will 'unlock' the sound or anything.

pepa20 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 it's GREAT to see how news are coming out every day, maybe it will be the same during the whole week, ah ?:D I also love how they tend to upload mysterious studiofeed-like videos, always suggesting but never actually saying anything.. they want us to go nuts! The first thing that came to my mind was that Speedman was a wanderer Chris :thinking: (is it too obvious?) Whatever.. I still don't see the point of showing those things up if nothing is going to happen until after the festivals. Dear Oracle can be a bit bitchy sometimes lol. It wouldn't be the first time it contradicts what boys do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
