leahg Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 hearing the new stuff live has made me fall in love with Coldplay all over again. Most people have no idea what great musicians they are on stage. I hope the studio mixed versions have that same passion and energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InATelescopeLens Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I hope LP5 isn't over-produced... I think the striped-down approach is awesome. Coldplay should stick to it because the live version of Major Minus completely kicked the studio version's butt. And, I'm a huge fan of Coldplay and I like EVERY one of their songs... except for ETIAW. I'm not just saying that because it just came out and it hasn't grown on me, I genuinely think it's their most over-produced recording to date. It doesn't have any lyrical value compared to their other songs. The video is awesome, and the performances are spectacular, but the song in general... isn't as satisfying as their previous huge singles. I mean, can you really compare ETIAW to Viva? Or Violet Hill? Speed of Sound? Talk? Fix You? Clocks? In My Place or Yellow? I don't think the song should be on the album because I think it'll take away from other super amazing songs like Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown (which will probably be my new favorite Coldplay song). And god... I hope the studio versions of those songs aren't over-produced... I think Coldplay tortures themselves with being self-conscious to the point when they can't release an album till it's up to their standards. I hope these new songs aren't 'tweaked' and altered to the point of no return... Sorry I'm being a bit conservative with this comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 >ETIAW is on the album >Coldplay has officially put their trollface on :awesome: Btw if the album is released October 24th it better be damn good because I'll need something to keep myself from being depressed that it was a year ago I saw Muse. The fact that ETIAW is on it is not promising at all. :dazzled: Oh and btw to the member that said that asking for new songs is greedy. . . WTF? Their job is to make music, which we buy. If I go to McDonalds and pay for a burger, then dammit I want a whole new burger, without last month's lettuce reused on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[: Pt. 1 Muse = amazing Pt. 2 True story + other new songs would be better Pt. 3 Hilarious + great metaphor. I don't think we have to worry unless Coldplay officially releases the tracklist.

Famous Old Painter Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Why is anyone surprised ETIAW is going to be on the album. With a single and a music video, of course it's going to make the album. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean they should cut it. I agree with everything said here. Seriously guys? I know it's not the greatest song in the world and we'd prefer it not to be on the album but lets face it, it will be. It's the one thing we can be certain of in relation to LP5.

Jedi Leo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If this is true, it's rather disappointing. Not only will I buy ETIAW again, but I will know half the songs on the album. Not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystaline Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I figured ETIAW would be on the record as they'd made a video for it. So I'm not surprised. I really hope Moving To Mars is on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessa Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 They're skating close to deadlne, but Coldplay are confident that album number 5 will tickle you... The Lowdown Album Title: TBC Recorded at: The Bakery and The Beehive, London Producers: Coldplay, Rik Simpson, Markus Dravs, Brian Eno, Dan Green Release Date: Autumn 2011 Featuring: Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, Charlie Brown It's one week before Coldplay perform their headline spot at Glastonbury and in their North London studio hideaway all is not calm. They should by now have done and dusted their imminent fifth album, due this autumn. Except they haven't. The title is among an undecided "shortlist of three", the tracklisting "isn't quite there" and they're still mixing and overdubbing extra bits as they think of them. It is, in fact, exactly the same nail biting scenario Q encountered in 2008 when visiting during the 11th hour stages of what became Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. "Yes, typical Coldplay fashion," laughs drummer Will Champion. "We're leaving it to the last minute. We'll keep going until it literally has to leave to get mastered and pressed. They'll have to wrestle it out of our hands." Album five didn't start "in earnest", says Champion, until last March only to be scrapped and started afresh three months later. Early pledges by Martin that this record would be "acoustic" and 'subdued" fell by the wayside. "We're prone to saying things before we write an album that prove to be totally wrong," the drummer explains. "There came a point last summer when we realised we had different types of songs in various styles, so rather than make an album that's all stripped down we decided to throw everything into the one basket. It's true we scrapped stuff, but a lot of those songs became antecedents of what you'll hear on the finished album. It's all part of our musical evolutionary process." While still based in The Bakery, their "secret" studio down a back alley in Hampstead, for this record they expanded their operations to a new rehearsal space over the road nicknamed The Beehive. "It's like an old village hall," describes Champion, "a big space where we can play together. Often when you're making an album you can become alienated from each other in a studio environment. The Beehive was a deliberate move to get us playing together so we could get a feel of how the songs would sound as a live band as we were recording, instead of waiting until the record was done and then going out on the road. Thursday nights were our Beehive nights. We'd be in there playing, almost like a gig. It was, literally, a hive of activity. We were all worker bees." Recording between The Beehive and The Bakery, the album preserves the winning formula of Viva La Vida's production team including Markus Dravs, the group's regular soundmen Dan Green and Rik Simpson, and studio Midas Brian Eno. "For this album Brian's more of a collaborative writer than producer. He was with us more in the early stages when the songs were being created, though his influence is everywhere. He's omnipresent, even when he's not in the building he leaves his aura around for inspiration. Brian is great sewer of seeds whereas Markus is the farmer. He has amazing powers of concentration, way beyond ours." June's preview single, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, offered the first taste of what Champion promises to be a "vibrant" album, swinging its hips to salsa rhythm cribbed from Peter Allen's 1976 hit I Go To Rio via a dance remix first heard by Martin in the Mexican film Biutiful. Other confirmed songs include the U2-alike Major Minus, the acoustic ballad Us Against The World, Hurts Like Heaven (a likely single thumping to the echoes of Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark), the dubby Princess of China and instant classic Charlie Brown. "That was singled out very early on as a dead cert," agrees Champion. "At one point there was a lyric that alluded to Charlie Brown, the Peanuts character, but it's just a name, really." Martin's previous comments about finding inspiration in the anti-Nazi resistance movement White Rose have indeed left an imprint. "There are a handful of songs on the album about trying to express yourself in a bleak world," confirms Champion. "A lot of Chris's lyrics refer to people standing up for themselves, even though they're being oppressed." It should also please Adam Ant to learn that Coldplay have ditched Viva La Vida's "French revolution look" he insisted they'd stolen from him in favour of an '80s New York graffiti gang image, albeit one which this time round might raise a few eyebrows among the surviving members of The Clash. "Erm it does look a bit Clash, doesn't it?" blushes Champion. "When I saw the press shots the first thing I noticed was how much Chris looked like Joe Strummer." Thank you for posting the transcript! Looking forward to the scan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Oh and btw to the member that said that asking for new songs is greedy. . . WTF? Their job is to make music, which we buy. If I go to McDonalds and pay for a burger, then dammit I want a whole new burger, without last month's lettuce reused on it. I couldn't put it better. And what's more, if we are being greedy for wanting more new songs, then I could call the band avaricious for 'reusing' the already released songs (ETiaW and MM)...

Jedi Leo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The way I see it we are basically paying for the "free" bonuses we got with VLV (remember the two songs for the price of one concept?). EMI finally found a way to make up for it by making us pay for ETIAW three times and Major Minus two times.... That said, I am really happy if these songs are on the album because they are just fantastic, but it is still a downer that they were released as a silly EP, out of context, just to make a quick quid... The leak of new songs in live gigs, coupled with the fact that we will end up purchasing the same songs several times sure leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and I hope they will not repeat this kind of "promotion" in the future.

Miha Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'll rather wait for any official news. Magazines have been wrong before and Coldplay must have changed the tracklist at least once since Q came to interview Will. I'm also curious as to why everyone sees Charlie Brown as an 'instant classic' -- it's a good song but imo not a going to produce a singalong in a way even ETIAW is!

Jedi Leo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I must admit Charlie Brown was an instant classic to me when I heard it...my liking to it was immediate. ETIAW took a bit longer, but now I simply adore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldpl@y Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Some people want Parachutes2, AROBTTH Reborn, X&Y's Twin or VLV Duplicate...but as another fan said...they're the best band in the world for a reason! Whatever they release will be awesome...because it will be a new direction from what they've done. ETIAW is different...whether you love it or hate it....it is and from the other songs played at festivals...they are too! While ETIAW took awhile to grow on me...I love CB, HLH etc. I for one think they won't disappoint. They never have and never will!:sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
