Guest howyousawtheworld Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 But I mean, it's a friends and family gig. You could be totally right and it could be a really good sign! But what kind've friends or family would trash the gig? :P Edith Bowman the Radio 1 DJ was at the gig. She seemed pretty impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think I'm coming off as more negative than I actually am. I have my reservations, but I also have a decent amount of faith in them. Really, I'm most disappointed in the lyrics. After that, their marketing choices (and clothes, but that's more personal preference), but I think that's mostly because I want a career in band management/assistance/PR, so I'm really nitpicky about those sorts of things. I really felt very much the same way before VLV, and I wasn't keen on "Violet Hill" when it first came out, but I was quite pleasantly surprised by the album. I think it's likely the same will happen here. The difference that's concerning me is that even though the VLV lyrics weren't stellar overall, they weren't THIS disappointing, either, but hey, maybe it's just a dud song lyrics-wise and the rest are mediocre like usual. EDIT: mediocre in terms of lyrics, I mean. I think their music is still very quality, or has been. I hope LP5 maintains that. As much as I like the first two albums, I understand change is inevitable, so I can't do much else besides welcome it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoryABjerre Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 this is so dumb, they aren't fucking WWII bomber/gangsters Coldplay may actually be the LITERAL opposite of that actually not but :lol: Could "I turn the music up/I got my records on/I shut the world outside until the lights come on" be the album name? A-la Mew? I really took my time before pushing play, thinking "this is it! new Coldplay sounds". And was kind of disappointed, even though the colourful man look cool. is not a problem, U2 has already put too the records on . exemple. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight, Magnificent I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE I TURN THE MUSIC UP I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP I'D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP MAYBE I'M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I'M ON MY KNEES MAYBE I'M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO TO TELL ME IT'S ALRIGHT AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY AND EVERY TEAR'S A WATERFALL IS A WATERFALL OH IS A WATERFALL OH OH OH IS A IS A WATERFALL EVERY TEAR IS A WATERFALL OH OH OH SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD BUT STILL I'LL RAISE THE FLAG OH IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL EVERY TEAR EVERY TEAR EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL EVERY TEAR EVERY TEAR EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Apparently this new track really is going to be a dance/club song. The news gets worse and worse every day. :bigcry:.

I'm so terrified to hear this thing. Everything is telling me the unthinkable... I'm not going to like it. That's what The Sun says. If you know of that paper's reputation they are renowned as the biggest most sensationalist bullshitters in the British press. And that is some title.

Violet Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Aha, The Sun is full of crap. Just the other day, they had some story in there about Chris taking over songwriting duty for Muse, and Chris ended up saying himself on his Twitter that it was "a load of bollocks."

Keddie Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah I wouldn't bet on The Sun providing any sort of accurate information..... But to be honest, if it is an upbeat song I won't mind at all. I actually enjoyed that aspect of the Viva era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IloveChris Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I think I got a bit distracted with the whole excitement of seeing the artwork and photos and stuff, but now if I actually analyze it properly, I do agree with some of the posts that say "They look like they're going through a mid-life crisis". :confused: As much as I can't wait to hear the single, I am absolutely terrified of what the whole outcome will be.
