Haha, kprobably, but that does not make the video less epic. :awesome:

 

ATLAS ftw.

 

Not at all. And jokes aside, the positive response from casual fans and people Who aren't fans at all has been huge if facebook and twitter are any indication.

 

Usually my Coldplay posts get two or three 'like's. My last posting of Atlas got somewhere around 20.:)

ATLAS debuted at #24 on the Alternative Airplay charts.

I hope it gets some support form radio stations

^ I believe it's called "Catching Fire", not "Chasing Fire"

 

Nice job, Spotify :P

Screw Vancouver radio. A new Coldplay single, Arcade Fire Single, and Arctic Monkey's album have all come out and they decide play "Ho, Hey" all FREAKING DAY. :angry:

I was just listening to Famous Old Painters and then to an instrumental of Atlas. And I have to say I think Atlas might have been some kind of leftover from the Viva era. Or it might just be as the Oracle said, only written for the movie but you can definitely hear some VLV(Prospekts March/FOP)/MX (MTM) influences here.

It really sounds a lot like Famous Old Painters:)

What's definitely possible is that they wrote it only for the movie but also used some ideas they got for older songs, like Famous Old Painters. :nod:

I don't think it's a leftover song. It probably sounds familiar because of the strings.

This song has elements of all the previous 5 albums.

Yup. It's from the collection...

 

A Rush of Parachutes to the Xyloto: Viva la Mylo Edition, Parts X&Y

The Oracle as we'll as the band have said over the years that they often Take fragments of unused music and rework them into new songs so it's possible.

I've been thinking about that as well, Atlas has some FOP features in it, in my opinion. But like Debs Wild says, a lot of songs that are not finished or unreleased can be used for bits in new songs. It is kind of surprising though that Atlas seems to 'have been written especially for a movie' but its origins seem to come from 2007-2010 period.

I'm sorry but GTFO

 

Why? Because he has a different opinion than you? I also don't really like the song, does that mean I need to get to fuck out as well?
