I don't like it :/ too random that it looks bizarre! It actually looks like a cover of a children's book (because of all those kids & babies) not an album cover

 

I am not jumping into conclusions & saying this might be the actual album cover, but I am just saying I don't like it..

 

+ what's all with this repetitiveness? why each element is repeated 4 times?

 

p.s. the kid carrying the baby reminds me of a young Chris photo carrying his youngest sister

 

Well it happens. Its about taste, I like it cos I like pychodelic covers and albums like Tame Impala, but well.. yeah.. it happens, but we don't know for sure if this is the official cover

 

Possibly a second cover sleeve to slide over the top of the original?

 

I was thinking the same thing, I think that'd be really cool

I'd love to see Tame Impala influences, but I know that would be a bit too much to ask to the band.

:o it might be a coincidence but it os very well pointed from you...

I understand Echo And The Bunnymen have tried out a neo-psychedelic sound, and Coldplay have always admired them...

:lol:

Annabelle is back in London, so Chris might be too.

Cool!

They are clearly violating one of the most important rules of the band. Don't consume hard drugs.

This cover is of course the result of the highly consumption of LSD...

Coldplay A Head Full of Drugs...

I can't be the only one who thinks the faux-psychedelic stuff is shit and completely ruins the sleek beauty of the first? PLEASE let the original be the album cover...

 

I'm with you :thumbup:

I am a bit undecided about the new gif. The first one, so simple and awesome. So stylish. This new one is pretty crazy. I hope the original is the album cover. I can't see them making the new one it

4:27 London time eh? How about the 1st gif? Should be expect something all this week at roughly that time?

You dont need to be on hard drugs to be creative :P (I take it youre joking)The Midnight video was like that too, very trippy and interesting.

 

This album is supposed to be upbeat and stylistic, :nod: not mellow and drab like GS. That second image is so much better suited for what they've told us.

 

With all this space imagery, I'm prayingggg they'll bring back that Pink-Floyd-esque sexness they did on Moving to Mars. :jonny:

I personally don't think this is the album cover... my theory is that this is what we'll see in the background when they upload the audio to YouTube...the 1st gift kicks off the start of the song and the 2nd is for the big bombastic part of the song

It seems I'm one of the few people who liked the original minimalist design better. Never really been a fan of busy psychedelic imagery (plus the colors of the symbol in the center kinda clash with the border :lol: ), but it strangely is making me more excited for the album. I guessed AHFoD would be very heavy on the poppy sound, but this makes me rethink that assessment.

 

Looking forward to our next teasers :awesome:

could the random elements on the gif be the names of the songs?? man on the moon, rockets & balloons? over the clouds?

 

probably not a good idea :lol: I am just trying to find anything positive about that random gif

I think the original gif will be the front album cover and the second gif will be the back of the album. The original is way better in my better in my opinion.

Possibly a second cover sleeve to slide over the top of the original?

 

I wouldn't mind another thing like MX with two different album covers

ok chris is in london on his way to watch u2! expect a whole lot of promo stuff to happen this friday!

When you're standing one metre away from Chris Martin on the tube but it's too busy to get a picture with him

YAY MORE TEASING!!!!!!! :D I like the original better, but the new art is great!

If the artwork shows songs than one is the opposite of an X&Y song.

4:27 London time eh? How about the 1st gif? Should be expect something all this week at roughly that time?

 

The first gif was posted exactly at 16:00 London time

So the next one is gonna come tomorrow at 5pm? :D
