I think people realise the album isn't that great and are hoping a different version will ne better. You can't Polish a turd

Some of us like the album. There is no need for Polish turd metaphors. And why does the turd have to be Polish? Racist.

Guys, one more thing, why would EMI do that? It's not like a lot of people won't just download it and not pay when it does release anyways. Most of us already have it pre-ordered anyways, and judging by the albums sales rank on iTunes for the past weeks, they would have nothing to worry about.

 

illegal downloading effects record sales. just read billboard, you really think the top album of the week sells 100,000 copies? earlier this year, in jan, feb and march, you had tom of top albums of the week selling something like 70,000 copies.

 

yes, they will be selling about of records, but i think most people get music illegally nowadays, rightly or wrongly. its effected album sales, clearly.

 

EMI, views illegal downloaders as criminals who deserve to be fined millions of dollars or who deserve to be thrown in jail. The entire industry or at least the Record labels, the majors feel this way as well. the fact they view downloaders the same way they viewed them over a decade ago is all the evidence you need.

 

EMI has a vested interest in making sure more people buy it than download it. The leak spread like wildfire, and i think thats indicative of how most people hear and consume music in 2011. The fact that EMI have created such a murky cloud for some of you, seems to me, bizaare and strange given what we know about labels and filesharing.

Can someone pm me the link?

Cheers

So... in how much time is HLH coming out?

So... in how much time is HLH coming out?

 

Yeah, I think this will be the best evidence.

 

Probably around 7 or so. Tonight, right?

:laugh3:

 

Polishing turds is funny

This. How can you call yourself a fan when you don't even buy the band's music ...

 

So HLH sounds like a demo, and Chris' voice at the beginning of CB too. That's my hater opinion anyways. :rolleyes:

 

 

 

im not going to show support for either downloading or supporting the label, because lets face it, you honestly think the majority of the money you spend on the album goes to them?

 

I think there are many ways to support coldplay. buying shirts and merchandice and tickets are much more worthwhile. chris and the guys get the majority of that money. whereas with cd sales, they get about a dollar a cd. yes that cd you buy at the store for 15 bucks, or for 10 bucks on itunes, the band only gets about a buck 50 on each unit sold. which is absurd. All artists, coldplay, and everyone else, deserve more than a dollar! You buy a 20/30 dollar coldplay shirt and they are getting the majority of the profit. Same with a 50 dollar concert ticket. they get alot of that.

 

I think its wise to help support the band. but supporting the band would probably be more beneficial to chris and the guys if we supported them in ways that got them the most money.

Alright then, to everyone not believing me: links to stream the iTunes versions, straight from Apple's server: http://pastebin.com/nntAQeyb

3fm.nl like last night?

Uhhh...yeah. We have the final version.

The itunes version stremed of POC is the same!

Uhhh...yeah. We have the final version.

 

THIS GUY

The itunes version stremed of POC is the same!

 

Same with HLH, which is probably the most disputed.

 

Not that I care. I love every song. Especially UFO, UWTB and UATW. Oh my God.

Coldplay, guys!

That means the leaked version of HLH is the final version? :(

Use some sort of link grabber when you play the iTunes version of PoC on the US Store, then just add up (i.e.: 17OctPrincessofChinafeatRihanna.m4p, 18OctHurtsLikeHeaven.m4p, 19OctUsAgainstTheWorld.m4p etc.).

 

Smart... was there a list of titles in the order they were being streamed?

That means the leaked version of HLH is the final version? :(

 

Yes, this is more then likely.

Yeah, I think this will be the best evidence.

 

Probably around 7 or so. Tonight, right?

 

Exactly what I'm saying ... HLH sounds so weird, if it's the same, then we'll know it's the real version. If it's different.. the leaked version is fake.

 

Yes, tonight, because PoC came out yesterday. The thing is ; we got PoC here, in America TODAY.So we'll get HLH tomorrow. But in Europe, they'll get it tonight.

 

If it's the same version, we won't even know :confused:

That means the leaked version of HLH is the final version? :(

 

Yes it is.Now enough of the madness!

Yes it is.Now enough of the madness!

 

:thinking:

 

Opinions, does it ring a bell ? If I don't like the way they made Chris' voice sound in HLH... I will not like it because some people don't like that I don't like it (wow that's a lot of don't like :lol:)

I heard the iTunes stream of it. There's links to Apple's servers posted on this thread. We have the final version.

The madness as in people certain the leaked version isn't final. It is as the Itunes versions prove.
