Cleggy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Viva was about 42 minutes long and all of the songs on Viva were quite short. The longest 2 were Strawberry Swing and Violet Hill which were just over 4 minutes long. If it's the same this time round they could easily do 13 songs that fit into 42 minutes. Bear in mind that MX is probably included in the 13 songs that Chris mentioned and it's under 1 minute long. That leaves 12 songs in 41.5 minutes. That's easily achievable.

danmets21 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I honestly doubt that Princess of China will make the final cut. Chris said that there were songs that he has played and he felt like an idiot for playing them, so he stopped doing so. As far as I know, PoC is the only new song played live this summer, that has stopped being played live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we will get a studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, PoC is the only new song played live this summer, that has stopped being played live. There's a lot of confusion about what Chris means when he says 'live.' We know that the band have been testing each of their songs 'live' at The Beehive to see if they translate well to a live environment so that's probably what he's referring to here. If he felt like an idiot playing Princess of China he would never have played it at that festival at all. We can only assume it was taken out of the setlist because of other reasons. Now recently Phil mention it in a tweet so it's still definitely being considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesfish Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I reckon this is possibly true, with 13 tracks with 2 hidden tracks, You use your heart as a weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My prediction: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven Paradise Princess of China Up in Flames Charlie Brown Us Against the World Major Minus Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Car Kids (It's on the cover) Luminous Alien Radio / U.F.O. Plus one more track we haven't heard yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periahdark Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My prediction: Car Kids (It's on the cover) There is the chance that Car Kids is just a lyric. So much mystery behind the album cover!! :DD I hope it is 13 tracks. That would be great! And hopefully no exclusive bonus tracks either. Everything is universal on all releases. iTunes, CD, Vinyl and Special Edition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 13 tracks or not, it's still 42 minutes long so we're getting the same amount of material as Viva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems unlikely that two words from a song would get so much attention. Besides, Car Kids was on the list of possible LP5 songs back in 2010.

Hartroc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 OK, so list of possible songs is as follows: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven Paradise Charlie Brown Up in Flames Princess of China Car Kids Up With the Birds Major Minus Moving to Mars Us Against the World Every Teardrop is a Waterfall U.F.O.? Xylobrytes? Luminous? Under 1 Roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my favorite of all the new songs and I would be heart broken if it didn't make the album :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Probably not 13 for the album, but I really don't see why not. 12 songs at 4 minutes each is only 48 minutes. I really hope the band doesn't put out a really short album even if it has 10 songs. It sounds like they're pretty tired from this recording process - Chris at least. Saying he has nothing left. Not like I believe that will last, but I would hope they can bring at least a bunch of b-sides if not an EP out. Who knows. I'm greedy. :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want "new" songs on the album that we haven't heard yet but we also have fallen in love with the live unreleased tracks (Hurts Like Heaven, Princess of China, etc...) and are disappointed when/if they aren't included on the album. We can't have our cake and eat it too with a 42 minute limit on albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyman Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Well i think that princes of china and Up in flames will be the b-sides of paradise single! I wish .... I WANT CHARLIE BROWN IN THE ALBUM !!!!!!!!! OH YEAH !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie O Sullivan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just my thought but i cant imagine that Up in Flames and PoC will only be B-Sides...to good for that i think but its just my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus one more track we haven't heard yet. This tracklist is actually the most plausible one I've seen so far which actually makes me sad because it includes 7 songs that we've already heard live versions of and 4 songs that will have already have studio versions out at the time of the album release. Does this bother anyone else? We've already heard the vast majority of this album before it's been released. Granted the studio versions are bound to sound different from the live versions and hopefully "Major Minus" will have a new mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prjio307 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 :nod: :nod: :nod: I have a feeling it will, sort of like "Don't Panic". It started off as a B-side with one mix then made it onto an album with a different mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hope you're right. I like the vocal effects on Major Minus, but the mix still needs some touch-ups (like the band continuing to play behind the guitar crunches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prjio307 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 I just think it was overproduced all around honestly. I also can't understand why they left out the guitar part during the little section after the first chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Don't the 42.5 and 490 sound rather precise to you? Like when someone says, "I dunno, 60,001 times" or something along those lines? I don't think they'd count the number of songs they'd started, just the ones they finished. Perhaps he's saying 42.5 minutes because that's the golden time they wanted Viva to be. Aaaaaannnddd maybe with a little bit of luck... they'll release slightly more by accident. Like I dunno... 45696 minutes worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackZ Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 490 was just a funny exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
