LP7- "A Head Full Of Dreams"

[Twiglet]

Why can't they just be both?

[Twiglet]

If you want 2002's Coldplay, then just sit in a corner of your room and listen to A Rush Of Blood To The Head until your ears bleed. What the fuck are fans doing on 2015's coldplaying.com if they don't like 2015's Coldplay?

[ov3la]

Of course it can be both.

[Revolverwin]

My points after reading the articles as well as the comments here:

- Stargate is not confirmed yet as one of the producers of LP7

- AHFOD is still on target regarding release date (which is later this year)

- No solid facts until now...

Rumors will still be rumors unless confirmed by the band.

Plot twist: true producers of AHFOD are A-ha's members.

Kidding by the way....in case it gets lost in translation.....

This. I have been a member here since 2004.. I have been through and seen it all the hype and reaction over the past 3-4 albums. Some fans will be happy, some upset.. It is what it is. I on the other hand have enjoyed every album! I'm confident in Coldplay releasing a wonderful album!

#1: We have no confirmation that it is actually Stargate, though it probably is since they worked on Miracles as well (which was received very well on this forum!)

 

#2: Even if it is Stargate, I am sure they won't produce an entire album for Coldplay, Coldplay will have diverse production and sounds as always.

 

#3: Stargate has produced some damn good pop songs in the past. As much as I dislike many of the artists they have worked with before, I find the production on many of those tracks to be unique with interesting elements.

 

#4: Like said somewhere above, this doesn't mean Stargate will be forcing crappy pop down Coldplay's throat. They have never really worked with a band before, and being a band, Coldplay will be the principle song writers that are just looking to sharpen up their songs with outside talent (for better or worse).

 

All of this is to say we don't know anything, and we don't know what the music will be like. Poppy? Most likely. But the quality or extent of that pop remains unknown. Lets just try to sit back, relax, and wait for some announcement :daisy:

A-ha Full Of Dreams XD

Twiglet's post is a good reminder that just because someone has a pop name doesn't mean they're going to make that same kind of music when working with someone like Coldplay.

 

Ugh. They have?

 

*retracts statement about Atlas Project*

 

Wasn't there a time that a rumour happened, and then Atlas Project picked it up, and we picked it up thinking AP had a good source, and then Coldplayzone thought it was legit ...and it was all sorts of cross-verification of each other over something that really wasn't true to begin with?

coldplayzoneit must be given credit.

They predicted Stargate's involvement on the new album a few months ago.

y'all have to admit that 90% of pop songs have a FAR BETTER production that rock/indie/alternative rock songs, have you ever listen to a pop song with proper headphones and not just on the radio? man the production behind pop songs takes a lot more efforts than a rock song and they always turn out to have a fucking good production

 

and i can say this because i listen to both genres in equal quantity and i know producers from both genres and can tell apart elements that make a production worth noticing

 

 

and btw i dont want "rock coldplay" to come back, what a lame thing to do from the band, i want them to go always forward and never look back at what they did before, bands and sounds need to change and even if the result isnt that good, who cares? at least they have the balls to try out different things and see how they are recieved, and its just music after all so experimenting doesnt actually hurt anyone

 

if coldplay release a cheesy, bad, ultra pop album, just dont listen to it, your ears wont bleed if you listen to it at least once

If Stargate indeed produced Miracles then I'm on board. That moment just after Jonny's guitar solo where the beat drops feels like the floor just drops out from beneath you for me. And I think that's attributable not only to the composition but also the exact volume/effects/etc applied to that moment.

[wmessin]

A more up tempo sounding album you'd expect to get a summer release. At least in my opinion. I would anticipate an announcement fairly soon with a release date no later than the end of August.

Ironically, that was for the song Atlas was so sure was Miracles in some Christmas ad in the UK. They prepared a reaction video and everything -- only for it to be some unknown artist. Fucking hilarious.

It was so much of an epic fail, it set new standards LMAO

[EasySuperstition99]

It is very sad to watch all these Coldplayers talk about the new album and come up with all these ideas, when we haven't heard anything from Coldplay since the interview where Coldplay gave us the name of the album. And I'm not including the timeline or the Twitter post. Why can't they be like Muse and stay connected with the fans between albums and release snippets of songs??:(

That's one of the few times I've honestly ever laughed at my computer screen for a long time. The sheer, "Oh." from them was just the icing on the cake.

[ov3la]

Hopefully, the band takes a step forward in making lp7 a great album. [emoji106]

miracles is a very bad song, so....

forgetable song, i think is more precise

Must agree, my curiosity levels are peaked with the thought of what else could Coldplay try, how else will they deliver us good hooks and melodies..

 

When I really I fell in love with Coldplay was Viva, when they experimented with odd time signatures, odd structures, and even had an instrumental opener.. These things made me think they were pushing the pop boundaries and left me thirsty for more. I wanted them to take it further on the next one, but then MX came by and was mostly pop. Nothing against it, I also ended loving the album for what it is. Then Midnight was released and my jaw dropped in excitement, thinking they'd finally gone beyond pop, transcended beyond their usual instruments and opened the doors of experimentation beyond Eno, and it was actually a bit of let down to find that GS was also mainly pop, a more mellow, non-surprising pop... My point is, I don't care if AHFOD is pop, they naturally have a pop sensibility. I just wish they blended their pop beyond what's already out there. All I hope for is that whoever the real producers are, instead of blending Coldplay with what's already been done, are pushing for a sweet merge of styles for a greater sound beyond an Avicii song.

I have been avoiding reading this thread, because all those "predictions" of how the album is going to sound is only wishfull thinking and nothing concrete for me.

 

And today I notice that there are so many updates, so I must have missed a Coldplay anouncement ?! :confused:

 

Nope, OK, back to avoiding then.

I surely hope they get us out of this misery soon. :)

[KidA]

My opinion:

Miracles is awful.

I don't just want rock Coldplay back, I want good Coldplay back. Y'know - the ones who put Clocks, The Scientist and Politik on one album, rather than having songs like O and Midnight be highlights. They were better at pop-rock than they are at rock-pop and it's hard to take them seriously as a great band when they're releasing songs like True Love, A Sky Full of Stars and Miracles as singles. I'm all for forward thinking and growth, but that doesn't just mean changing styles - it means adding depth, meaning and variety to your work. Just because it sounds different doesn't mean it's a step forward, just because it's similar to what you've done before doesn't make it a step backwards. I don't want AROBTTH, but I want the Coldplay who made it. I guess I just don't want them to actually become all the things they've wrongly been considered in the past - MOR, boring, bland, light-weight soft rockers trying too hard to be something they're not.

If stargate are the producers (still a sizeable if at this point) then that's disappointing but hopefully it's just for a song or two and they don't come up with anything like their previous work. At the end of the day Coldplay are still writing the songs, so a classic album is always a possibility.

I remain falteringly unconfident.
