cp3176 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 omg what did u hear ! Oh sorry, he can't tell you anything. If he did the band's reputation would get lowered or wrecked or something.... (that's what he said right?) He did tell us some things however, he said to think of Paradise... I think that's what he said anyway if I recall. Which means it might be another one of my favorite songs. :D :D :D Then, someone else said that it had the same tempo as Violet Hill.... but then again we don't know how well to trust that claim. It's all rumours of what we think they heard at this point. @Saketblitz is really trustable though, so I'll believe his claim of how to think of Paradise... But most other rumours that have been said probably aren't true and are probably random things said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp3176 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Here's my current ranking... 1. Viva 2. AROBTTH and X&Y (tied, similar to @I ran away's ranking) 3. Parachutes 4. Mylo Xyloto 5. Ghost Stories I'm not necessarily an MX detractor. From a pop album perspective it is by far the best in my opinion. As a Coldplay album, though, that is where I think MX falters. Sure, there are songs that I love. Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown, Us Against the World, Up With the Birds, and Major Minus come to mind. If you remove the instrumental interludes, that is about half of the album. The rest of the songs aren't necessarily "bad" in my eyes. Issues like cheesiness and poor production keep them from reaching their full potential. Also, Moving to Mars (my favorite b-side) and the sweet Parachutes-like Wedding Bells should never have been left off of that album. If they had been used and the remaining songs had been given the production and better lyrics that they deserved, MX would be much higher in my rankings. I think I will end up ranking AHFOD between AROBTTH/X&Y and MX. That is purely a guess, based only on the supposed Indian music experimentation and my first impression from Amazing Day. I hope the album will be everything that I feel MX could've been. If this album is MX improved I will be so happy. As happy as I am with MX it is overproduced and a little cheesy in areas... hopefully AHFOD will fix that if it decides to challenge MX. I think realistically this will end up second or third in my opinion, probably better than X&Y but it might in fact not be as good as MX realistically... but who knows! It could end up being better.. I hope so :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most other rumours that have been said probably aren't true and are probably random things said... haha - it's not the band reputation actually. It's more that when I was told I'd get to see the music shoot and meet the band, it came with a caveat that I shouldn't speak too much about it in days to come. Now, I think it's fine if I discuss the what the song "sounds like" (and it's more than "few days") but let me just confirm with the person who took me there to be completely sure. Once, I get the green light - I can elaborate on song details. Also, while I was there I didn't hear any lyrics - I think mostly because it got drowned in the loud music while Chris pretended to sing! I can't wait to discuss the music video with you guys too!

jer123 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Haha. I like pitchfork actually for discovering new music. I discovered arcade fire through them and generally their post rock artist section is good too - like NPR. Also, although I've discussed a bit of the music I heard during the shoot - I really wanted to discuss more of what I heard and I thought I'll be able to do it soonish but now because of the delay... I'll still put the release date of the song as late October (no hunch - just a guess - don't convert into a rumor and start expecting things) Look forward to some news from you soon man!We neeeed some teasing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 If they delay the album, I actually wouldn't be too surprised... AROBTTH was delayed because Clocks was written and there were a few tracks they didn't like. X&Y was delayed because they wrote four albums' worth of songs and started over mostly from scratch. VLVODAAHF was delayed because they had a new burst of creativity in late 2007. MX was delayed from 2009 to 2010 and again to 2011. For a while, they had two separate albums in progress, which certainly slowed them down. On a completely different and more on-topic note... This band certainly have a very good track record of being 'delayed' with their album releases - since AROBTTH, none of their subsequent releases have been 'on time' by record company/ industry forecasts. If we look at all albums after that, they've been either 2-3+ years after the previous album or roughly 18 months after concluding the associated tour... In fact I was very surprised to see movement on the album release / MV front with their trip to India... By my estimates, they were still a good 6-12 months away from album completion, but then I thought "let's be optimistic, they might have started while still working on Ghost Stories..." I do hope I'm wrong and they set a precedent with this album, but we may be asking too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCamel Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Okay everyone, sorry to ask you that, but I wasn't able to connect myself on the amazing world of internet from saturday 'til now.

I ran away Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Agree that Coldplay is statistically speaking likely to have a delay once again :D I don't quite agree that AROBTTH has less musical motifs hidden or that its structures are less worthy than those of MX. MX might have slightly more variety in song structure because ever since Viva, Coldplay has experimented with unusual song structures, but that's all. I wouldn't say it varies more in mood; MX presents different nuances of optimism while AROBTTH does the same for desperation and urgency. I think AROBTTH songs have a very rich sound, neat layering (every time I put them on different speakers I discover a new line, isn't that amazing ? MX on the other hand is often a "wall of sound") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMDB9 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Remember, we're in a coldplay fan forum. Of course, when you spend your time in an echo chamber where everyone is spewing praise for the same music, your perception of coldplay will be a little skewed. Quite possibly the funniest thing I've read here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gacbrandao Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I just want something new now. Even knowing that will happen by the end of the month (is just a belief), but arrgh... I want something nooow @____@ And the more they take time, the more I remember the viva era where they want to surprise us with something new and really well done. They put their souls on that record even knowing its not my favorite, but I consider the most diffent and unique album of them, and I could see that they want to give something that could be the best of them. Mx was an album that they want it to be good, of course, but I believe that they don't want to be better than viva, I mean, it feels like in MX they just want something good, but not incredible or so unique, do you guys get what Im trying to say?? The point is that I believe that with AHFOD they do want to do something like they did with viva, not in style but on how the album will affect people, something huge/different where they put a lot of efforts. And I do believe that they are trying to please the 2 sides of fans, the new ones and old ones, with amazing day I could see that the way the instruments are organized seems similar with de old coldplay but at the same time the feeling of the song remembers both sides, and Im please with that cos the thing that I miss the most on them is this thing with the structure of the sound, that every instrument has its own voice, that it doesn't just one follows the other (happens a lot in MX) and mainly the voice does not follows the instruments, it has its own melody.. this is the thing of oldplay that I miss the most... so for now I have at least expectations that its going to be better than MX and GS.. so... I WANT SOMETHING @___________@!! hauhauaahuahaua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gacbrandao Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 How about July 13 2016. Too far. I guess not cos, When the GS came out, 1 month later in june, it already existed a rumour that cold was working on a new album almost along with GS and that the GS was something to experiment/trying new stuff and that the new one will be more traditional coldplay and that would be bigger tours and etc. It was someone from inside and part of me believed that time, I had my reasons. Then december chris told about ahfd, that means that the rumour was true, so they were indeed working in ahfod like june of 2014 or before that.. who knows. I GUESS THAT THE BONUS SONGS LIKE GHOST STORY IS THE REFLECT OF THAT. Thats why the bonus sounded more like oldplay than the tradional tracks from the album. Like the guy said "a more traditional record" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP-EST Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 LMAO, this thread is becoming ridiculous -Raises his hand and wants to contribute to this awesome thread- :D I reckon, there will be single coming out in October still or at least before the end of year in worst case. Using my logic and hearing what they're saying in recent interviews (things like they're finishing up something and they've wanted to create something like AHFOD for a long time and stuff) i would say filming music video and the 2 live performances were probably meant to be like little breathers before making the finishing touches to the album. So they knew this one song will be the single which definitely represents the album and filmed the video in advance to go back to studio to finish it up. As it's been in the making for a long time they're confidentely delaying any information before it's ready. Realistically, if they aren't making any drastic changes with the album right now, it will be released before the end of year. And with more and more time passing since filming of the video, I see the probability of surprise release of the album rising. But "your guess is as good as mine" -sits down and goes back to patient waiting mode- EDIT damn, this thread has always been ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
