lennyrott2 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Now that we have the official lengths of four tracks on Ghost Stories, it seems that the album has the potential for being Coldplay's shortest. If we take Magic, Midnight, Another's Arms, A Sky Full of Stars and Always In My Head (assuming it is about 3:30 like the live version) that only adds up to around 21 minutes 30 seconds for over half of the album. Coldplay has never gone under 40 minutes for an album (the closest being Parachutes) and if we were to divide those nineteen remaining minutes between the four songs, that is about 4:45 per remaining track. Does this seem possible given the more restrained nature of some of these Ghost Stories songs we have already heard? Will the album be under or just above 40 minutes, or will it surprise us with some longer tracks making it more normal? My hope is that songs like O and Oceans reveal some hidden jewels like we have heard in Lovers In Japan/Reign of Love, Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant, or Everything's Not Lost/Life is For Living, which would stretch them out a bit. Or perhaps a more concise album at this point would make sense if the band does indeed plan on releasing another in 2015. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtsLikeHeaven42 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think your right in thinking it might be Coldplays Shortest . It may not be by much but it probably still will be. I really hope hidden tracks are in this album because I miss those ones, we didn't get any in AROBTTH and MX. I would also like at least one Ghost Stories B-Side somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolverwin Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I really don't care about the album's length. A short but cohesive album is much much better than a long dull album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Theire albums seem to be getting shorter since Viva, I think it will be around 40 and 45 minutes (maybe still longer than Parachutes, but shorter than MX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Looks like we have our answer My hope is that songs like O and Oceans reveal some hidden jewels like we have heard in Lovers In Japan/Reign of Love, Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant, or Everything's Not Lost/Life is For Living, which would stretch them out a bit.
