Lucky girl! It's all so very exciting!!!! [emoji322][emoji323]

I wonder if we will get a sneaky little sample...anything.....[emoji8][emoji16]

 

I believe the album's almost complete. :D

Oops I apologize if I rustled anyone's jimmies. I haven't listened to Politik in ages, so my memory is a bit rusty...

And I guess I'm anxious for LP7 haha

 

it's okay, i'm anxious too :D

He wasn't a very nice old man then was he..[emoji69]...lol...you are cheeky!!!! [emoji112][emoji112][emoji112]

 

All in good jest :p

Ok guys, name one title you think is the best fit for the album.

 

I'll guess one.

 

'Apple & Moses'

 

:P

If it is the end of a chapter. I think it could be called The Chapter. Or maybe. Chapter 7

Or it could be about

 

Unbroken - Chris's separation with Gwyneth but will be forever together as a family.

one of the beauties of coldplay's music is it's universality. and usually the lyrics are just ambiguous enough for the listener to make their own interpretation. i'm looking forward to more of those since for me, trying in a way to be more explicit in GS didn't pan out that well (before GS, i was looking for more explicit lyrics, strange how that worked out huh?) and let's not forget, they are a band after all :)

 

anyway, i think we might get a celebratory record with themes of hope, love, resilience. if they did write that happy song, looking forward to hearing that as well. hope they would take more of a non-generic route to creating soundscapes.

Chris needs to write more perplexing and mysterious lyrics.

Or just have a proof reader to cross out the cliches, instantly better lyrics.

I think that The Race and Tomorrow will be in A Head Full of Dreams.

I feel a lot of the scrapped MX songs might make it to LP7. They seemed very different from the rest of the album -- and we all know how Coldplay loves to rework old material.

Yes it is actually. The ability to connect with their listeners is the band's best gift besides the actual music of course.

Hey, I was just wondering about this tweet that was on the Coldplay Atlas twitter page:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Out with clients today, trust <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/chrismartin?src=hash">#chrismartin</a> to be late! <a href="https://twitter.com/coldplay">@coldplay</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/paradiselondon?src=hash">#paradiselondon</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/coldplay?src=hash">#coldplay</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/london?src=hash">#london</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/design?src=hash">#design</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/agency?src=hash">#agency</a> <a href="http://t.co/ijlP79oFAV">pic.twitter.com/ijlP79oFAV</a></p>— Paradise London (@ParadiseLDN) <a href="https://twitter.com/ParadiseLDN/status/592782449337311234">April 27, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

 

So Paradise London seems to be a design agency, and they were "out with a client" - Chris Martin? Could this mean that Coldplay has enough material to go ahead with designing album covers/music videos (for the first single)? I don't know if I'm anywhere close to reality with this idea, but what do you guys think?

Okay sorry, I was trying to embed the tweet..but anyway, here's the link. I'm sure most of you know which one I'm talking about anyway..

so mila who did the artwork for GS was working with the band at least since early 2013 and the record was released in May 2014. so who knows.

Really don't know how I'm feeling about AHFOD, an eclectic and ambitious mix of styles united in optimism and grandeur would be stunning - on the other hand another bland pop album with cliched lyrics and chartist tendencies would send Coldplay into the complete mediocrity they've threatened with lp's 5 and 6. I have a feeling this could end up being seen as a pivotal record in Coldplay's career. (Also at this point I love 3 albums and don't really like 3, so this is the decider :confused:)

EDIT: I'm sorry for being a jerk. I didn't mean any offense to you. I'm not in a good mood so I shouldn't be posting.

Not to be a dick, but you say this at least once a week.

 

Lol I know I'm worried :confused:

with davide rossi adding horns to the new album, it will not be bland. it will be loud.

I doubt it but we'll see. Maybe bits and pieces of scrapped songs.

How can you say that LP6 had chart tendencies? The only radio friendly songs were Magic and ASFOS and radio didn't even welcome Magic. 80% of the album was your "old Coldplay" mixed with some electronic experimentation.

AHFOD will be uptempo (my guess is a blend of Charlie Brown, Viva La Vida and probably some e-drums but not very EDM like ASFOS) which is what radio and the general public prefer and that's the sound arena bands like Coldplay like to play live.

There is a reason Mumford & Sons has ditched their bluegrass sound to sound more like Coldplay.

Double post

I don't think so just because Chris is in a different mental state. He probably doesn't feel those lyrics anymore. Maybe some of the scrapped instrumentals will be reused by that's still very unlikely.

Anyway, everything they've done since Parachutes has lead to this album.

You're completely right about Mumford & Sons, they have really changed their sound. I liked their original sound too though as well.

Here in Portugal Ink is always playing on the radio. More than ASFoS.
