squibby92 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 there's a logo for each song. 14 songs, 14 logos. just count them not hard to work it out. UATW logo is a CK turned sideways, making it look like a person, I doubt Car Kids made the album otherwise surely it'd be there or an extra logo would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Soooooooooooo many songs!!!!!!!! This is AWESOME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periahdark Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I really like how each song has an icon. Strange that UATW got the Car Kids logo though. I expected Car Kids to be a lyric of a song, so I would have assumed that logo to go with said song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I've mentioned it before, but I am severely glad all of our prediction of hearing half the album turned out to be false. All the festival songs are great, and the only song I plan on listening to is "Paradise" until October 24. We love you, Coldplay! You made my day.

Prospector Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 There must be some short songs there. Eveything we heard until now are normal lenght songs (expect MX), so how to fit those 4-4 1/2 minutes song in a 42-45 minute album with 14 tracks?

Steph589 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 My only perplexity is ETIAW in that position in the middle of the record... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notlost92 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'M EXCITED. No more cynicism from me (although I never really was about anything other than the ETIAW title)!!!!!!! I'm ecstatic that there are so many songs, and I can't wait for the songs we haven't heard (especially Up in Flames since R42 keeps talking it up) :dance: Overall, I'm super super pleased! Also, I'm not going to criticize titles before I hear the songs themselves. I also love the symbols at the bottom, that is awesome. Now I think I'll avoid listening to any other new songs that they debut live, because I want to leave some surprises for the album release!

Prospector Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 My only perplexity is ETIAW in that position in the middle of the record... Me too. Chris said it would be on the end, they played it as the set closer, it just doesn't make too much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedPolitik Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm expecting this album to be 60 minutes or so in all honesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 We have to give some credit to the boys. I think that it is a fantastic tracklisting, especially considering that it has 14 tracks. Furthermore, there is at least one track (M.M.I.X.) which we have never heard about. I concur with the comment that the transition from ETIAW to Major Minus won't be the best one, but we already got such transition in the ETIAW-EP. The best thing about this tracklisting is the fact that each song get's its own symbol, which I think it is pretty original. I really hope Mylo Xyloto is the only instrumental but I really doubt it given the rule on album's time that the band has. But who knows, I never expected a 14 tracks album. With that being said, I am now sure that I won't hear to anything else after Paradise in order to save half of the album (7 tracks) for the moment when I hear the whole thing for the first time. It's getting closer folks, the boys are back and I am sure they will rock the world AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Not seeing why some are unahppy with MTM's exclusion from the album. I guess it's too bad for the average fan who may not ever know if its existence, but WE know it exists and WE heard it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackyy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 MX, hopefull transmisison, and mmix are probably a minute and half long combined, and every other song is 3-4 minutes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel_94 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14 songs, this is amazing news. I'm soooo happy, i'm even not too bothered that Car Kids isn't there. It might be a b-side or hidden track although with 14 songs I doubt the latter!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathanpeel Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Before anyone else posts this I might as well do it :P The symbols each represent each song (obviously) MX= Mylo Xyloto (that's a given) Swirl= HLH (no idea) Butterfly= Paradise. It's on the flippin single art work Flower= Charlie Brown. Bright red rose CK= Us against the world. I'm thinking Car Kids became UATW and it's just a reference M.M.I.X= Wand type thing. I think we'll understand why it's represented by that when we hear the song Tear= Every TEARDROP is a waterfall, again a given. Eye= Major Minus. One eye on the road and one on you. Spaceship= U.F.O, given Crown= Princess of China, given Flame= Up in Flames, given Antenna= A hopeful transmission, a antenna transmits information, audio, etc. Broken Heart= Don't let it break your heart, given Bird= Up with the birds, given. Let's try to find out the wand type thing and the swirl ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm extraordinarily irked that they didn't put MTM on there when they simply could have lobbed off ETIAW and attributed that to festival material. But there are 13 songs (I'm not gonna count a song that I'll always skip), so I suppose I can't complain too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notlost92 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Me too. Chris said it would be on the end, they played it as the set closer, it just doesn't make too much sense. Maybe it'll be a transition into a quieter second half of the record, like Daylight on AROBTTH (not counting A Whisper)? :shrug: PS- I hate MTM, so I'm glad it's not on there :P It's actually one of only 3 Coldplay songs that I don't like.

Brent Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The real victory here is for those of us who detest all the tracklistings people make up and post everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedPolitik Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I must admit I'm not a fan of some song titles and that Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall looks weird just stuck in the middle there, but I'm sure it'll all sound fine when we hear the album. There will no doubt be a lot (6, maybe 7) singles from this depending on how long they're touring for. And like I said, I'm expecting the album to be lengthy. 55-70 minutes I think. Which could be a problem, I mean their longest album so far is X&Y and I am not a fan of that album at all, it just can't hold its own weight in my opinion.

Cleggy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Oh dear, 14 songs? I guess Chris won out and got what he wanted. I hope it's not too long like X&Y. The only surprise on the tracklist is MMIX, which is Roman Numerals for 2009. The rest we already knew the titles of. Now we can finally stop all those silly tracklisting threads. Disappointed to see ETIAW on there but if there's a new mix and it works well in the context of the album I might change my mind about the song and learn to like it.
