I can't be really disappointed.

I was very scpetical after Viva about a possible new record but with Major Minus, ETIAW, HLH, CB, PoC and Uatw I have everything I wanted. I love these songs so much and I'm very satisfied. I just look forward to the new songs and the new album without any pressure or hig expectations.

i would be disappointed if they only had 10 songs on the album, most of which we've already heard.

 

 

I must second that. 10 songs would suck

This post is depressing, because I understand completely.

It's best to let that feeling go, if you can, and be happy with whatever good songs we get. (Because I'm sure MX will have some great songs.) That works for me, I'm able to be pretty excited for the album now, without expecting anything epic.

Oh well, it might be epic. :wink3:

 

But er... if Don't Let It Break Your Heart really is a title, that would make me nauseous. :confused:

 

Hey look at the bright side. With iTunes you can download only the few tracks you like, without paying for the whole album :)

You care about song titles and artwork? It's the music that matters! Sure Coldplay has changed their sound over the recent years but what band hasn't? You can't relate to A Rush of Blood to the Head only because Coldplay weren't as popular then as they are today. You should trust in Chris to make good music and not worry about the little things! A band that constantly reuses their formula and never changes would probably get boring. Who cares if Chris Martin changed Coldplay's formula to spice things up a little. Anyways, I'm not trying to make you look like the bad guy here. We all have our own opinions! :)

Is there anything you don't like about Coldplay?

 

Actually, no, sir :phu:

Coldplay could poop in my eyes, force me to eat shards of glass, steal my possessions, decapitate my loved ones, cause global disease and starvation, and blow up the universe and I'd still love them.

 

Unfortunately, a lot of the material I've heard so far from Mylto Xyloto is worse than all of the things I listed above.

Quit a peculiar stand, considering it all comes down to the music :) if you really can't stand the new songs, you might want to sit this one out...no point in getting more and more frustrated about how the new songs keep disappointing you :)

I think that any disappointment that I experience will come from the songs themselves. I don't care if the artwork or song titles are crap as long as the music is good. That being said, I've been disappointed with 2 of the 3 songs Coldplay have officially released in studio form from the MX era so maybe it's a bad sign. Especially since those 2 songs I don't like (ETIAW and to a lesser extent Major Minus) are probably on the album and the only song I did like (Moving to Mars) will probably be left off.

 

Honestly I'm not expecting anything as good as A Rush of Blood to the Head or even Viva La Vida so if Mylo Xyloto is crap I suppose I won't be as disappointed as I could be.

No no wait, I'm going to buy the whole album anyway, and I will like it. I'm just not expecting much so I won't be disappointed. These guys are by far my favourite band, you know. ;)

 

Another question. Are there any people who love the new songs and are a fan since before 2005? Because I have a feeling that all of the 'old' fans hate the new material.

(I'm a fan since early 2007.)

I'll be very disappointed if Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall will be on Mylo Xyloto, and if Hurts Like Heaven won't!

i´ve been a fan since Parachutes, but became a really serious fan after Rush of Blood and started to go to concerts after X&Y, so it has been a lovely love affair, which I hope will continue to escalate :dazzled: And for the record in case anyone doubted: I LOVE the new material and think MX will become my fav Coldplay album :vuvuzela: Especially since :jonny: has finally been unleashed!

I've been a fan since I impulse-bought X&Y, loved it, bought AROBTTH and Parachutes a week later, loved those too! Then along came Viva La Vida, which was undoubtedly the best album of 2008 for me. I think they've got better with each album, personally (Parachutes is my least favourite, Viva my favourite), so I'm expecting great things from this album. Love all the songs I've heard so far (even ETIAW!) so I don't think I will be disappointed :)

I won't be disappointed at all. The band is evolving, which is very exciting. A little hoping they leave the new(EP)songs off. To make room for other new songs.

You know, I don't even want to read my own rant anymore. Even though I still think it's all true (with a few grains of salt), it's just depressing and I'm just going to take the album the way it is. I WILL buy it, as a whole, for sure, that's what albums are for and that's what Coldplay is good at. ETIAW made me realise that I can't love everything they do, and that was hard to take but also a relief realising that I don't like Coldplay because of Coldplay, but simply because most things they do are really great. And if I don't like the album, I'll have my fingers crossed that they change direction again into something I do like. I really don't think they've lost their grip. I won't let it break my heart, for that matter.

No, I'm a big fan of AROBTTH and Parachutes. Love these records! But I love nearly all the new songs they made so much!

I think because of the songs i wont be disappointed at all because we all know from the beginning that they will be quite experimental,so for that i`m expecting just everything what is possible :)

 

The biggest disappointed on earth would be if they announce after the MX-Tour in Summer 2013 that its over with Coldplay...

(Parachutes is my least favourite, Viva my favourite),

 

Ah exactly the same here. I have listened to Viva much more than any other Coldplay album. I have always loved the last album more than all the others and I think MX won´t be an exception...:jester:

That's not what I really meant. I wanted to know if there are people who are a fan for more than six years and love the new stuff. So far it's only valypan. ;)

:thumbsup: Exactly. Great post.
