Reilly Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 They're releasing 2 singles before the album?! Who does that? I understand Every Tear was for festival season (Although its still a bit odd to release a single months before an album) but now with Paradise coming out, this is just confusing. Innit? Rags.

James. Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Actually, they have done this before. Both Shiver and Yellow were released before Parachutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I believe Paradise is the "official" single, but who the hell knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Promotion overload. Has enough people bothered to cast their glances towards Dave Holmes their manager as well as the band? The interview he gave to Billboard recently showed he was hell bent on doing anything he can to sell them. Yeah that's what managers do but you've got to worry a bit when most of a feature on Coldplay is taken up by their manager talking of ways to sell them. Worse still Chris Martin actually asks him for opinions on their music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Noel Gallagher has already released 3 singles and his album comes out the week after Mylo Xyloto. I wouldn't think to much into it, I'm sure they know what they're doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admnistramation Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Stars released Fixed and We Don't Want Your Body before TFG dropped, and then they premiered Dead Hearts, Wasted Daylight, etc. through music sites like COS. Arcade Fire released The Suburbs/Month Of May (double A-side single), Ready To Start, AND We Used To Wait before The Suburbs dropped. Broken Social Scene had World Sick and Forced To Love/All To All (double A-side single) before FRR dropped last year. Hell, even Modest Mouse released three (four counting King Rat with the WWD pre-order) singles from their 2009 EP before it dropped. The recent Danger Mouse/James Mercer duo Broken Bells had The High Road and Vaporize out before that self-titled album was released and they're not nearly as successful as Coldplay. If anything, it seems kind of the norm what they're doing. Especially with Paradise marking six weeks until MX sees release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Glisten Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I believe Paradise is the "official" single, but who the hell knows. No, the official single is Princes of China with video clip :sneaky: Rihanna will be disguised in chinese doll on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an angel Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Beirut also released East Harlem and Goshen before they released their most recent album. It's not an unusual thing to do. What bothers me more is that we've heard about half of the album already through those festivals. I'm not really looking forward to the album as much as I probably would have been, especially since a lot of the new material has been pretty underwhelming for me.

getithom Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hasn't Coldplay, along with most bands, always done this? Either that, or I am missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 They released Violet Hill and Viva before the album came out last time (albeit Viva the single was closer to the release date of Viva the album than Paradise is to MX). They seem to do this more often than not based on what i've read in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
