Xylobryte98 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 You mean this? [video=youtube;-_aIlKg2TYQ] Can somebody explain why do we think that this is related to Coldplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMDB9 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 They posted the Walking man as a gif too. But it wasn't a part of the album art. So anything can be something. We can't be sure it. But this being the album art is the most likely thing to happen Yeah....It does seem that the new art is something more than the Walking Man because they are going a little further by putting it on posters and such around the world with a date on it.

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 No chance are Coldplay doing John Lewis advert. First - they don't allow for their songs to be used in adverts. Secondly - it's always a cover version of a much more well known song. This year it will probably be an Oasis cover butchered by the usual pithy, trailing female/male voice who's the next one hit wonder. That or George Ezra and his ball aching voice will be given one last opportunity to hit the charts before being consigned to inevitable commercial oblivion.

Jamesfish Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Because Adele did that around the same time on itv on 18 October, and it was to promote Hello, this may be their answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 ^ I actually wasn't around yet for the Viva release, sadly :lol: Became a fan in the months following its drop But if I had been, you might be correct :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Cap Man Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 In the animation that Coldplay posted it looks like the background is not a clean black. It looks more like a rusty or dirty black... It is very nice tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twas the first era/album I was a fan for and the best from what I remember. Fans' opinions seemed much more harmonious then but X&Y seemed like the odd kid out for many. I do hope this album has a lot of cultural influences like Viva did. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrea25 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 No point in second guessing this one. That is clearly the album cover - I mean what sort of band would advertise single art or inside covers? well, don't you remember the coloured running man?

KidA Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Can we all take a moment to appreciate how Coldplay clearly got the idea for lots of bright, intricate colours over a black backdrop from my avatar? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this being the album art is the most likely thing to happen A good example of this is Reflektor's advertising a couple years ago. It was neat art, but none of it ended up being on the actual album cover. Royals win the World Series AND our first official AHFoD tease?!

It is very nice tho... I noticed that too! I thought my screen was just dirty for a second haha. Maybe the actual artwork has a background image, not just solid black? Perhaps part of the teasing is to slowly reveal what the background image is? It's just a thought I had... I'm so glad we have confirmation from Coldplay that the posters and dates are theirs!

gai Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 gosh the idiocy of some of the so called 'press' these days... not even a mention that this is the symbol for flower of life! anyway, the hype is high. i still think that the poster won't end up being the album cover. again, too easily revealed. there will be more fanfare to the actual artwork revelation. if this is the case, they are still building major hype while at the same time giving us a pretty good hint on the overall theme of the album! well done coldplay!

Safy Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 if this is the case, they are still building major hype while at the same time giving us a pretty good hint on the overall theme of the album! well done coldplay! the hype & teasing are done cleverly, the symbols & influences are exciting. The fan theories about the album cover meaning are so interesting. Imagine if after all this we get mediocre or awful music :shocked: Please let it not be a bad album Coldplay, please.

andrea25 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well it wasn't on a billboard was it...you know 'advertising' and all that? yeah, and 'advertise' something often involves that part called 'teasing', you know? where the final product is rarely revealed in full....otherwise what kind of teasing would be? we'll see...

The Adversary Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 If we are working off the assumption the 4th of December is the album release, surely the lead single must be coming any day now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowCouldIForget Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 It was a tease already, was it not? :thinking: It randomly showed up somewhere and luckily for us someone from the music industry said it was them. Otherwise it would've been just speculation. They didn't admit it was them until today. Plus we've been waiting for at least a month after Rik suggested the album was done and with knowledge of a music video recorded that we saw but never heard. An iHeart Radio performance with new outfits but no song, a GCF song we have no clue about whether it's a charity song or album track. That's too much teasing as it is :laugh3: I can't see the background being anything but black, otherwise it would mess up the ring colors. Some of them would inevitably be hard to see if there was anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why this Friday is such an important day. It was rumoured even before the 4th of December was discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
