Exciting

I have a feeling that O and O part 2 will be absolutely epic

Now we've only heard one third of the songs instead of almost half. Sounds a lot better.

 

But yeah, not sure about this whole Target thing. I don't like that they're attaching songs to a store. Profit should not become between their music and their listeners. And I hate to say it, but it doesn't seem like something Coldplay would do. (But that was before their singer sold himself to a talent show... OK enough ranting.)

 

Bonus Tracks mentioned "All Your Friends," "Ghost Story" and "O(part 2)"

loved the drawings, especially O. :dazzled:

hoping that it sounds like Strawberry Swing

Please note that the album is called "Ghost Stories" and the track is called "Ghost Story". So, technically speaking, there is no title track.

At this point I'm seriously getting annoyed at their promotion so far. Hoping for a more international promotional plan once the album is released.

In any case I'm really looking forward to hear all the songs!!!

Me too. Sounds weird but i'm actually pretty happy that there is a song with a Part 2 on the album. Could be the best song on the album. Hope it meets my expectations.

 

EDIT: Or maybe they just took all the viva chants from the last tour and made 2 songs out of it. :D

:nod: I agree, and I have a feeling all the bonus tracks are going to be great, actually.

And don't forget O (reprise).

What is it with O? The boys are Obsessed with it. I think they developed a fetish. :D

I dont get why the promotion for ghost stories is US based, If this is because Universal Music is forcing them, I want the dear old EMI back

I don't get it either. Aren't they big enough everywhere already? Is Gwyneth behind all this? :angry:

Someone noticed "'Ghost', 'heart', 'O'" Up there? Is it "Ghost loves O"?

I don't get why they chose such a terrible platform to reveal the bonus tracks (People Magazine!!!). Why not do it in Q or Rolling Stone?

 

I hope the tracks will be available for other parts of the world too.

I'm not too upset by it being shown on People, I mean they could've revealed it on E! instead, I can't even imagine that. As we saw at the iTunes concert Chris is more kind-hearted and modest than ever and the music is still sincere and beautiful for the most part (coughexceptMagiccough). What more can you ask for? And I also have the feeling that it's a ploy by Universal and not the band, I mean nothing really can be done about that. Japan and the UK have gotten exclusive tracks in the past, it's not like they've never done that before. The Japanese Parachutes had Careful Where You Stand and For You for ex., both great songs imo that other countries never got to have. For once I'm thankful to be a Coldplay fan from the U.S.

Why is no one offended that People (a tabloid magazine with a very bad reputation) got the exclusive tracklist? HAHAHAHA

Edit: too late. People are already offended. HAHAHA

These meltdowns are so fun to watch.

Is it likely that these three additional Tracks will be available in Europe as well ?

The stuff from Target, is it just a mp3-Download or a complete cd ?!

Ok. I'll give you, you mighty Coldplay fans a reasonable explanation.

The tracklist was revealed on People Magazine because guess who read People? The same people who mostly shop at Target, it's basically the same demographic. And that was paid for by Target. That's why there is a "Target" microphone next to the tracklist. Great marketing if you ask me.

The Target deal is unjustifiable. Enough said.

 

As a fan, however, I will buy the deluxe edition from Target.

If 'O' is playing out the main part of the record then I wouldve thought that 'O' part 2 is possibly the same track but with vocals much like Life in Technicolor opening VLV and then an extra part 2 with the vocals....Would make sense as 'O' is the album closer

Again, any chance that it will be available to preorder from europe as well, via iTunes or so ?!?

The first copies have popped up on eBay (pre-order)

Low is amazing shiver a dead fo sure classic!

Great marketing indeed...for the US market. :D

 

But for any fan living outside of the US atm, their promotion makes little to no sense so far. :\

this Target release is the reason why I don't buy cds as they arrives in store.

always waiting for bonus tracks versions to be released in Brazil, which rarely happen :blank:

 

luckly, I have a friend who's travelling to US in july and maybe she can get me a copy from Target
