grids Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ok guys, name one title you think is the best fit for the album. I'll guess one. 'Apple & Moses' :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Cap Man Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 If it is the end of a chapter. I think it could be called The Chapter. Or maybe. Chapter 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Or it could be about Unbroken - Chris's separation with Gwyneth but will be forever together as a family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 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.

KidA Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Chris needs to write more perplexing and mysterious lyrics. Or just have a proof reader to cross out the cliches, instantly better lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolverwin Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 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. Yes it is actually. The ability to connect with their listeners is the band's best gift besides the actual music of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhit Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhit Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidA Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 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:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackplay Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked their original sound too though as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
