prjio307 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 From the Billboard interview: But you're only going to put 10 or so on the record, and haven't you recorded like 50? "No, no. We're going to finish 13. We've started like 490 or something crazy. But it's such a harsh culling process within the group, because it's such a democracy, that a lot of songs don't even make it 'til the end of Thursday." Also it will be 42.5 minutes long: Speaking about the musical direction of the record, Buckland says, "I suppose the theme would be letting loose musically; louder drums, louder guitars, more contrast. Then we wanted to go down to the most intimate moments, then back to the biggest we've ever been. We wanted to contain as many interesting ideas as we could fit into 42-and-a-half minutes." I suppose this could just mean 10 tracks and 3 b-sides though. Although it wouldn't make a difference outside of sequencing as we still get all 13 in the end. Edit: I got the title of the album wrong in the thread title. Complete fail on my part, hopefully one of the mods will correct it or people will kindly ignore it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 They should have released a 490 track album. Selfish bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Or they could have done a new song a day for over a year. Even if some of them were of Chris Martin farting or kissing his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SprayCanSoul Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 10 Tracks + 3 Hidden Just Like Viva!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronayne94 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 10 Tracks + 3 Hidden Just Like Viva!! Once they release an EP after, that'll be good enough for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 So we know that the following will probably be on the album: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven Charlie Brown Princess of China Paradise Up in Flames Us Against the World Major Minus Every Teardrop is a Waterfall That leaves four tracks. Three, if they decide to include Moving to Mars. I predict that they will include Alien Radio and Luminous! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 He said 13 songs, not 13 tracks. It might be like Viva as SprayCanSoul said up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Radio Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think that MX could be opening song, a part of Hurts Like Heaven, and Mylo Xyloto a closing song!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think they'll release a few songs as B-sides rather than on an EP this time. From Viva we got 11 songs that didn't make the LP (although you could say that we only got 8 because 3 of them were just different versions of songs already on the LP) From X&Y we got 7 unreleased songs From A Rush of Blood we got 7 unreleased songs So whether we get an EP or not we'll still probably see about 7 songs that didn't make the cut like they've done for the other albums.

The Duke Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 13 songs / 42.5 minutes = roughly 3:17 per song. Hurts Like Heaven is over 4 minutes, Major Minus is 3:30, Charlie Brown is a little over 4 minutes. Point being, one of those figures is going to be wrong. What could make sense is that they aren't counting the "hidden" tracks in that 42.5 and the album is actually a little over 50 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
