We all know Coldplay tries to not to the same thing every album. And I believe we all felt kind of worried before Mylo Xyloto (at least I did) because we knew they hadn't done that "pop" album yet and it would make sense for them to do so since that's usually what big bands tend to change do...

 

So since they already did that with Mylo Xyloto, and pretty well too I must say, this is one of the most exciting times for me to be a Coldplay fan since I really have no idea how their sound will be. All the possible sounds I thought they could do, they have already done. And the genre I thought would be the worst has already been done so I'M JUST SO PUMPED. I HOPE I DON'T HYPE IT UP TOOO MUCH.

it could be a country album, that's even worse than dubstep

Death metal anyone?

Or jazz? :p

I'd actually like them to go ahead and make something that mixes just part of their old style with a new style. An album with upbeat, piano driven songs, Clocks style + slower guitar driven songs like UATW + some catchy electronic rock songs like those by MGMT or Foster The People would be perfect for me. Bands shouldn't stay with the same style for all their lifetime, just as they shouldn't change completely and abandon their original style either.

What about a 2 or 3 minutes fast song with Coldplay's most powerful drums and guitars ever?

 

Oh I forgot to say that it would also have Chris singing louder than ever. Or even better, screaming!

For this next era, Chris should just wear his black leather jacket, a dark navy blue tee shirt with a pocket and the love badge. Then blacks pants and the blue Adidas'. Simple but snazzy.

For this next era, the whole band should pull a Red Hot Chili Peppers and wear nothing but socks. Or maybe class it up a bit. Fig leaves?

^ And a killer bassline :wacky:

:laugh3: that'll be really interesting.

 

maybe they will want to do a mix of all the eras? :thinking:

That's what I'm thinking. I just can't see them going in some ridiculous experimental direction, so I think we'll get a nice blend of all their genres.

I think it will be a bit like Atlas: a bit mysterious, but not too much.

it could be a country album

 

Don't even mention that as a possibility

NOOOOOOO!!!

Chris did write this song: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6HH5KTQyo]Tim McGraw and Gwyneth Paltrow - Me And Tennessee - YouTube[/ame]

^Whoa - two very funny observations:

 

1. The chord progressions in the chorus of Atlas and Me and Tennessee are very similar. If you started Atlas's chorus on the 3rd chord (or MAT on the 3rd chord) you would have the other song. Try singing one over the other, seriously.

 

*Though to be fair, this progression also shows up in: Where the Stars Go Blue, Paradise, the middle section of Swallowed in the Sea, Wonderwall, Green Eyes, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Mad World, Pumped Up Kicks, Writing to Reach You, If I Had a Gun............ :p

 

2. The slide guitar in the chorus of each song is very similar! Let us not forget slide guitar became prominent in blues music and then everything else to follow.

Regarding the mythology topic of Atlas, I would also like a song called "Phoenix".

I think they should totally do a psychedelic rock album.

CAN'T WAIT FOR LP6!

sorry had to shout it.

Oh, no need to apologize.

SHOUT ALL YOU WANT!

I WANT MY LP6 NOW!!!

God, tomorrow is Christmas day and I only would like LP6 as a present.

Would it be too much to just ask for some NEWS about LP6 before... March? Please????

I miss Prospekt and Roadie #42 a lot right now. I want some news :(

"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet"

I'm thinking... There wouldn't be a better way to start 2014 than Coldplay announcing the LP6 release date on New Year's Day. Or even better, a surprise release!

That would be a big surprise! To imagine it might already be a happy moment enough for now, hehe:) I feel many Co. fans might have sensed the energy of LP6, via dreams or telepathic "communications" ...
