Pre-ordered the bundle!

:gossip::escaping2: Can't Waiiiittt

Just pre-ordered the bundle too :D

Yay CDs yay vinyl nay fucking ugly artwork, but I'll get it anyway.

Really, what does it possibly mean?

 

Major Minus only a B-Side for ETIAW, which will be on LP5? O.O

 

And what means the fact that they'll release a couple of new songs digital? O.O

This thread firgured it out a couple of days ago:

But good that we got confirmation

I don't think it's a B-side, more like a double A-side.

Really? Hmmm...we just have to wait and see...

Yes! I was hoping we'd get a studio version of Major Minus soon! :dance: :dance: :freak:

When they have recorded Major Minus, and other track will be released soon digital...

Does 'other tracks' mean an album, or have they again to many songs (like Prospekt's March) ?

 

So we will soon know a bit more how the album sounds, what Brian and the four and the person who mixes the songs want us to hear (so produced like Viva or more natural like A Rush... or even something else ?

 

Didn't Mercury said last year they would not longer produce singles as cd, only digital ?

 

AHHH new coldlay release :):):) smiley-spamming yeah !

 

EDIT: the release is the monday after their Glastonbury show. I think we can really expect something great on the Saturday in 9 days :)

I think its just another Prospekts March because they would promote their album!

I don't know if we can relate this "EP" to the upcoming album...

For me, this means that the stuff being released now, is not even album-worthy... maybe they have even better songs up their sleaves?!:D

Is this out in shops too? :/

£9 for 2 songs. :/

but i do have a collection to up hold!

I just put this in the Twitter thread, before I saw this thread:

 

So they release it the day it comes out. We all buy it (some of us out of loyalty more than anything else)

 

They release it physcally WEEKS after it orginally comes out. We all buy it for the collectors stuff.

 

They then say "oh actually we have this bundle on iTunes with extra tracks". We all buy again.

 

So we're all gonna own this song three times! They had better not put it on the album cos I certainly do not want to own it four times!

This is unbelievable. I am pretty sure no one on this forum was expecting this. Right now, there's a lot of confusion as to what will finally be in LP5. Maybe, after all, they have decided to release songs in single format and what we will finally get on the album will be totally different of the music that is going to be released via singles. I pretty hope so, since as already many have pointed out, it would not be very cool to buy all the songs that will finally end on the album in single format first. Anyhow, it is clear that they are trying a new direction on the way they are releasing their music. Hopefully it will work and we will be pretty happy.

pretty clever way to get a number1 lol:laugh3:

You joke but...exactly. :blank:

That's what I'm thinking! Maybe the songs went over SO well at festival that they're releasing them early and the songs Chris keeps coming up with more suit the album and are replacing these singles.

I really thought Major Minus was going to be in the album. But now it doesn't make much sense to release it as a b-side to ETIAW and then release again in the album. After all, maybe all the new songs we have heard until now won't even feature on LP5. That would be great news, but I highly doubt it.

 

Btw, can the iTunes exclusive bundle be pre-ordered now?

Why great news? That would be a shame! ;)

A shame? Maybe what the songs that will feature on LP5 will be even better!

Is that possible? :P

So if I get the bundle, will it include the digital downloads as well? :confused:
