When they release the tracklist, I like to cover it up with an index card and reveal it song by song and kind of digest it. Milking the anticipation, yes indeed. :dance:

 

Hmmm, good idea, I might try that! :D

I feel soooo behind with all these speculations. I was away for 3 weeks and once I was home I haven't had time to go on the computer, so I'm lost! :P

 

Mylo Xyloto sounds weird though. :blank:

I feel like I'd forget to do that though. Someone should make a .gif for it.

Well, I got to bring new teories up here otherwise I'd freak out soon...

 

1st one:

 

 

I's searching and turned out to discover a technique called "Xylotomy". It consists on cutting the tree trunk in scientifically analyzable layers. Happens that the cutted trunks looks just like this:

 

 

Yes, spirals :inquisitive:

 

Xyloto-my > Mylo-xyloto...

 

Yeah, I don't think they would make a hole album 'round this potty thematic.

So I admit it's foolishness... drop it, but it's interesting anyway, isn't it?

 

2nd one:

 

 

And somewhen before I figured out this also:

 

Xylo, wood in greek language, is a suffix originaly named Xilo, with an I instead of the Y.

Following this thinking I ended up above the Mylo. In greek it isn't a suffix or anything, but a city famous by it's Aphrodite statue, the Venus de Milo. This island is also known as "the island of colors" and "the lovers island".

 

Sooooo, conjecturing that Xyloto is an adorned abreviation for xylophone (bringing back the old conversation...), the MX would mean "love xylophones" or something. And a coloured love, you see! :thinking:

 

Again, it's probably the major puerility I've ever write, but I wouldn't go on this searching if I was going to keep all the trifling results to myself.

 

That's it for now.

 

I'll be back soon, believe me :sneaky:

I'm gonna write a letter to Coldplay... this must end... NOW!

Man this needs to end soon. I'm getting weird nightmares with evil U.F.O.s some days! :'(

I think that reading this threads and then watching Indipendence Day isn't a good idea :lol:

Coldplay! Please end your fans' suffering and give us some info!! :bigcry:

 

We're all going insane here!

Yes! Give us some info. Not some U.F.O.

hahahahaha

 

(This is my 666 com. weeeeeeird)

^ Hahaha :D

Yes! Give us some info. Not some U.F.O.

hahahahaha

 

(This is my 666 com. weeeeeeird)

 

 

Actually . . . just give us both :nod:

 

U.F.O. = Unknown Fresh Objects (aka unknown new songs)

Hey even Gwyneth Paltrow is waiting in agony like us. Did you read her tweet? Very funny!

Yeah, I don't follow her on Twitter but I found the tweet first :laugh3:

 

Come on, less than three months: "Soldiers, you've got to soldier on..."

I think its about time they gave us some info or an update!!

Maybe Monday!!

Yeah, I don't follow her on Twitter but I found the tweet first :laugh3:

 

Come on, less than three months: "Soldiers, you've got to soldier on..."

 

Is that what she tweeted?

Is that what she tweeted?

 

No, that was only a quote by me ;)

She actually tweeted:"Who do I have to bang to get an advance copy of new @coldplay album? I mean, really"

 

AHAHAHAHAH :P

Come on, everyone, we're only a few a weeks ago (two or three) to know what is the exact tracklisting and release date for every country...

 

Don't be so impatient, people...

AHAHAHAHAH :P

 

haha very nice. [: She seems to have a good sense of humor.

 

I really love all the new titles. They seem very colorful and uplifting somehow. They remind me of what I thought VlV titles in a way. A Hopeful Transmission sounds amazing, I love how U.F.O. is still out there and seeming like it could make the album, Mylo Xyloto sounds kinda weird but space-y to me for some reason. :thinking: I can't help but wonder why it says "Up Against the World" unless that's a difference song than US against the World (which I'm starting to think is more likely) or just a typo (nah, seems too careless). Paradise sounds really positive and so does Great Expectations (although what if it's about those expectations being let down? I just thought of that). And Tomorrow sounds generally interesting/mysterious.

I just find it funny how Every Teardrop is a Waterfall isn't on the list and must wonder why that is the case. Granted, I don't think it's as 'atrocious' as some people make it out to be, but I also don't think it's as good as the other new songs we've heard so I really wouldn't mind seeing it left off. Plus lyrically, the other songs go somewhere. You can tell there's really a point/direction/message they're going for. ETIAW just sounds like a song about being happy- which isn't necessarily bad, t just doesn't seem to go with the more elaborate themes suggested by the new songs as well as the new potential titles. It doesn't really go anywhere and I can't say I see how it would fit in. I'm thinking this could be a sign they came to their senses. The way they talked about it, it seems this was a song that they 'forced' out because they needed another track but, now that Chris has written a lot of new ones lately, they don't need to push it in there anymore. I'm hoping this is the case.

Come on, everyone, we're only a few a weeks ago (two or three) to know what is the exact tracklisting and release date for every country...
