awesome, like the white :)

 

my new desktop, thanks! :D

It says March 8, 2012 now. :inquisitive:

Is CB gonna get a widespread CD single/promo release like ETDIAW did? The supply of CB singles seems like a trickle, and even fewer for Paradise.

Single: Coldplay - Charlie Brown

 

 

4/5

 

Despite the fact that Coldplay are musical veterans, their latest single is fresh, exciting and sounds young and carefree. Continuing their new electro/soft-rock sound, “Charlie Brown” is a floor-filler with heart, featuring a riff that will be stuck in your head for days. The best part is, you won’t actually mind.

 

Amid the rousing lead guitar and spangly electro-effects, Chris Martin’s voice is as distinctive as ever, harping back to the band’s earlier days. Yet this upbeat track symbolises their staying-power, proving that they’re not afraid to keep evolving and experimenting without losing that characteristic Coldplay essence. Guaranteed to fill both dance floors and stadiums, this track will make you want to ditch your studying, grab some mates and dance across the Meadows in the sun. If you’re looking for a summer anthem, this might just be it.

Single Review: Coldplay - 'Charlie Brown'

 

“Quite possibly the best thing Coldplay have ever recorded”

 

5 STARS

 

It’s not hard to trace the progression of Coldplay as they venture into what is widely considered and equally as widely misinterpreted as “going commercial” for their fifth album, ‘Mylo Xyloto’. On an album themed to anti-establishmentarian revolutionaries with a fiercely anti-War message buried under your typical Coldplay fanfare, ‘Viva la Vida’s central track, the luxuriously colourful, wide-eyed spectacle of ‘Lovers In Japan’ was everything (in conjunction with ‘Strawberry Swing’) that brought the rest of the album’s dark tones to that pivotal, obligatory feeling of breaking through the clouds that personifies Coldplay’s latest offering, ‘Charlie Brown’. Further research would tell you that ‘Lovers In Japan’ was the last song recorded for the band’s fourth album, and simply listening to it would tell you that they had already started to move away from the lead-heavy melodies of songs like ‘Lost!’ and ‘Violet Hill’ and that it merges seamlessly into the vibrant incandescence of their fifth album. But it’s still a misinterpretation to brand Coldplay’s recent efforts as “going commercial” - they’ve always struck a chord as somewhere between high-brow commercialism (see: ‘Fix You’, ‘Speed of Sound’) and left field alternativeness (see: ‘God Put A Smile Upon Your Face’, ‘Strawberry Swing’) - commercial isn’t something new to Coldplay, it’s always been there. And, quite contrastingly to popular belief, this isn’t something that’s hindered them here.

 

In terms of sound, ‘Charlie Brown’ recalls the yangqin-lead ‘Life In Technicolor II’ in it’s surging, triumphant refrain; a wonderfully spacious sound that resonates with a sense of glorious accomplishment and manages to counteract the dulcet tones of Martin, whose frequently pathos-less whining dwindle the very soul of band’s work in the past. Thankfully though, Martin overcomes the urge to slow down the pace too much when the first verse arrives, and it’s also refreshing to hear lyrics that carry some weight as something relatable yet transcendent to something imaginatively fantastical at the same time.

 

It’s a crying shame that Coldplay’s best material isn’t the stuff that sells. ‘Paradise’ did well for the promotion of ‘Mylo Xyloto’ despite never actually raising any pulses until the dizzying, sky-scraping falsetto and football chants kicked in. Contrastingly, ‘Charlie Brown’ needs no warm-up period, and there’s no moment where the song’s momentum lapses, even in the quieter verses, thanks to Buckland’s effervescently chiming riff. A true testament to it’s sparkling resilience is that, even when otherwise hackneyed Coldplay lyrics like “All the boys, all the girls/All that matters in the world” roll around, the song still hurdles from strength to strength, swirling up a rousing finale to quite possibly the best thing Coldplay have ever recorded.

It's a good read.

^Thank you

I'm sorry if this has been posted somewhere already, but I haven't read it.

 

Coldplay.com have added Charlie Brown to their Recordings section - here. There's the artwork we know and love. The date is 3rd February, the date the video was released, just to add to the confusion of the whole matter!

That's really confusing :thinking:

february 3rd! that is utter BS! it's on the website now so it'a a fact that according to them it was released on feb 3rd... but it makes no sense, why was there never an announcement? why did they put that up until now? the records that were released were posted on coldplay.com the day the record was released, CB has been out for almost two months and they just put it in there recordings section? I myself asked the oracle several times wether CB had been released or not, and I never got a response..and I dont think I was the only one. So I think that after so much Confusion the honchos at coldplay.com or coldplay just decided to throw a date out there and picked feb. 3rd... but whatever the case CB has flopped terribly.. If it would have been the 1st single mylo xyloto would have done alot better, and would be remembered for next years grammys. now were stuck listining to friekenn gotya over and over again!:angry:
