April 27, 201412 yr I prefer when they go a little experimenting, as in Magic or even Ocean. This one is way poppier, will be perfect for radio broadcasting this summer, but isn't at first guess a masterpiece... Wait & See the album version :-)
April 27, 201412 yr Have you heard the album in the previous shows? Yeah, I was at the first LA show where they played the whole album. They didn't play ASFOS straight into O, so I'm not sure how that transition works, but the build up to ASFOS from the previous songs sounds natural and the song sounds in no way out of place. Something else to keep in mind is how horrible the compression is on most of these videos. I haven't heard the leaked version of this song, nor do I care to, but from the sound of things the quality is probably misleading a lot of people who have not heard the song live (or the studio version). This might not be the best example, but listen to a bit of this recording of Charlie Brown and compare it to the studio version or professionally recorded live versions: [video=youtube_share;04dedu3kwWo] . If you listen closely, you can make out the intricacies and layers of sound that are evident in higher quality recordings, but it's so toned down compared to the guitars, bass and drums it doesn't really paint an accurate picture of the way the song is intended to sound. All that to say, even if you think you have a good sense of what the song sounds like, you'll probably be surprised once an official version, live or otherwise, becomes available.
April 27, 201412 yr Tomorrow feels like the perfect day to drop ASFoS. I would be happy with anything coming out tomorrow. AIMH (because of the Zane Lowe preview) and Another's Arms (said to be released on the 28th by Amazon) are also rumoured. I know I will be very disappointed if nothing is released :/
April 27, 201412 yr Approximately 59 minutes until midnight GMT man I hope somethig is released if not I'm going to be tired in school

All that to say, even if you think you have a good sense of what the song sounds like, you'll probably be surprised once an official version, live or otherwise, becomes available. This is good point. It just makes me more exited to think that if I thought the poor recording of ASFoS was fantastic, the studio version will be ten times better. This is true for all of the songs we have heard so far. In Another's Arms and Always in My Head, you can tell that there is supposed to be a big 'finale' I guess you say, at the end of the song, but it is not very clear when they play it live. Just how the studio version of Fix You is much more massive at the end than the live version if you get what I'm saying. Hopefully we can listen to the studio version of Another's Arms tomorrow!
April 28, 201412 yr Well, you are right, I deleted the link. Sorry Guys! I'm very excited about this song. P.S, I cannot delete the quotes with the link :(
April 28, 201412 yr Guys, I found this: It's real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *link removed* Its real indeed.
April 28, 201412 yr Guys, I found this: It's real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *link removed* Hahaha everyone knows, but the Coldplaying police have been shouting at people who post links to the song the past 24 hours, something to do with Chris' wishes :cry: (very emotional) So basically you want to take the link down before people start whining again. To be fair, it does say 'no links' in the thread title.
April 28, 201412 yr That was taken from a SNL skit in 2011 where everyone (including that night's musical guest Coldplay) was crying to Adele's "Someone Like You". Here's a link if you want to watch: [link] Thank you!
April 28, 201412 yr I'm going to laugh so hard if nothing comes out! :lol: And then I'll cry a lot :cry:
April 28, 201412 yr When I heard asfos in la it reminded me if dlibyh but not quite as noisy if that makes sense and it wasn't like viva. Not as fast paces; more like an anthem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 28, 201412 yr To be honest it reminds me of Human by The Killers more than anything else. And that's a good thing.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I like the word anthem for this song. I think when people compared it to Viva, they meant the "bigness" of it. I personally have been listening to the low quality version non stop. I have no shame in saying that I love this song. .
April 28, 201412 yr Really liking it so far. I can see how people will be bitter towards it, but overall, I'm liking what I hear so far! And that's just the low-quality version. The studio version will probably blow me away.
April 28, 201412 yr I haven't heard it since LA live. What are u listening to? I must have missed posting of link this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 28, 201412 yr Some people posted the song from the Cologne concert yesterday (even though Chris kindly asked no one to record).

April 28, 201412 yr When they taped the TV special they asked us to sing the ending with the band three times to make sure they got sound they needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 28, 201412 yr The part with... I think i saw Youuuuu ooooohhhooohhh. That makes the track, and Johnny's guitar play of course epic!
