It's happening! It's happening!

It's happening! It's happening!

I feel like A Head Full Of Dreams could be released tomorrow.

Davide Rossi is back, YEAH. Hopefully he'll play more of a part in A Head Full of Dreams than he did in Ghost Stories. :)

Everybody sounds so excited! :daisy:

 

Yay!! The sky is exploding with rainbows.

Sooooo exciting! The album is so close I could touch it! :D

LP7- "A Head Full Of Dreams"

 

Sooooo exciting! The album is so close I could touch it! :D

 

It's so close I could taste it. O-O

It tastes like skittles. I like skittles.

I’m very excited too and I also hope they're gonna do a big European tour with LP7!!

dat modular doe

Is the banner the official artwork?

I am absolutely stoked for the new album, but I am also cautiously optimistic. I definitely don't want a completely computerized album, that would really bother me.

I just requested to follow Dan and Rik on Instagram :P

 

Hope they accept it.. probably won't though..

but I am also cautiously optimistic

 

LOL

 

 

"YAY NEW ALBU- uh I mean, it's gonna probably HOPEFULLY be good, yeah :nod:"

that's exactly how I feel haha, it's contradictory, I understand. It's kind of like being excited about a new job opportunity. You're stoked about the pay increase and benefits, but you're also terrified because it's different, and unknown. This Coldplay album brings similar types of anxiety to me. I'm like YESS!!! A new Coldplay album! Oh my GOD I hope I like it!

Yes. This is exactly how I feel. Especially about the entirely computerized album thing. I would probably have a conniption if that happened.

That modular bit sounded nice, but last time he posted something like that everyone also thought it might be on Ghost Stories. Turns out it was just him messing around. I wouldn't be too worried!

I really like those modular synths, even though they could be for a completely different project. For those of you worried, I don't think you should be! X&Y was largely inspired by (and sampled) Kraftwerk who were revolutionary with these synths and despite the influences it remained a clear rock album and I think the synths on it sounded great!

 

I wouldn't mind having synths like this as the backing of tracks much like we had on Mylo Xyloto. I don't think any of us would criticize the live performances of Hurts Like Heaven, Paradise, or Every Teardrop is a Waterfall because they are really strongly instrumental, yet they all are clearly backed by heavily computerized and synthesized sounds.

 

I agree though that having an album completely filled with this stuff would not be ideal, but as a backing track that song Rik is working on sounds really slinky and dancy :) I also liked the one that didn't end up being for a Coldplay track last year, it was beautiful.

did u notice at the end of the video, the sound of the synths was getting cloudier and changing? It feels like Coldplay to me. Also i love how Paul Epworth just comments, "See you next weekend?" randomly.

Sounds really nice and diffrent, hope it's Coldplay related.

Yeah i don't mind it either, no maybe a whole computerised album would be my favourite but as a backing or something or an intro, yeah sounds cool :)

I dont mind synths at all, but in Mx the electronics where overused.
