EasySuperstition99 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 There's no doubt the lead singles have been sub standard to the 2nd single. Violet hill was probably there best lead single but viva la Vida critically was a very good song. Yeah it was different but the lyrics, there was meaning in that. Color spectrum and kaleidoscope are potentially the big hits. Would be very disappointed to see "fun" get realeased as a single simply because it's got tove Lo in it and has EDM written all over it.

Bazza101 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I have this really strange theory. When Chris wrote ASFOS, I can recall him saying somewhere where he "ditched" the band. Now over the past few years, there's no doubt Chris has been the spokesman for Coldplay and his presence in the music industry is massive. Being so popular among other artists, I have the feeling he's potentially been influenced to write More music that resemble pop anthems leaving Guy, will and Jonny in the dark. I would love to know what they think about this change in musical formula. Especially guy because he does have another band on the side he plays with and produces for a number of successful artists such as the pierces. I just think Coldplay is becoming more about Chris rather than the other 3 members. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolverwin Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I hope Coldplay won't play too many songs from the new album before the target release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMDB9 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 About the album cover....I think we could see something similar to the silver MX cover. It was silver on the outside, but the MX-punched out part coyld be lifted away to ahow rhe graffiti underneath. With AHFOD, I believe all of the visuals can be lifted away to reveal the simple flower of life underneath. I think this because if you look in the attached picture, there is a small border around the flower of life, and it has no stars on it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a look at the Amazon page for the vinyl and it says it has a die-cut outer sleeve. Very possible you're right and both the intricate and simple covers are official.

ParadiseLost Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The guys seem genuinely happy! And they have the fresh feel. It's like they have given off their inhibitions by renouncing the Rock Band title altogether! And that gives them so much more confidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all seemed extremely happy today in the interviews. They are doing exactly what they want to do and are excited, which makes me excited!

(Maybe i'm exaggerating) Because i feel it a bit of alt rock, pop and 80's!! AOAL it's a strange song but I have to say that it's really awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Archer Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 You know what is funny.. Im really thinking that this album will be like viva2.0. Something new, different and really big. Not so much on the style, but more in how it feels... I believe that adventure of a lifetime is nothing compare on what comes. I BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY HERE WILL BE SURPRISED AND SO WILL I. When I first heard AOAL when it premiered I was so surprised. I never thought the song would go the funky groovey route. It was so good that I went and bought it on Google music and preordered the physical CD version. No doubt this will be Viva 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lonely Martian Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yo, guys, who exactly is who in the artwork for A Head Full of Dreams? I know somebody in this thread mentioned that Phil Harvey told us, but I can't find Phil Harvey's words, nor am I bothered to surf through all these pages just to find it. >.< All I know is that apparently Phil's the one on the cloud and Jonny is the one diving...

Now he prefers to talk about artists like Beyoncé and Rihanna and work with top EDM artists such as Avicii and Hardwell. It's a rapid transformation and I think "oldplayers" have a strong point. They aren't the worlds best rock band anymore. They are probably the best indie pop band now. Best rock band in the world at the moment is probably the arctic monkeys, muse or even tame impala.

Maybe Beyonce and Noel Gallagher will only make very minor appearances on other songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk They have been 'mainstream' since Yellow, and I'm amazed this is so overlooked. You and I both know Chris loves Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Travis, Oasis, etc. still, but what's the point to still be talking about them for nearly 20 years? Any famous artist or band will change their taste as time goes on, but they don't leave behind their initial inspirations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lonely Martian Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 They were never a rock band. Ever. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, X&Y, Viva la Vida, Mylo Xyloto and Ghost Stories are all "rock" albums by nature. Anybody who knows the analytics of music genres might disagree on what exactly Coldplay are; whether or not they should be generally classified as alternative rock, soft rock, pop rock, but the consensus is that they're a rock band. "Mainstream" is not a genre, and people who say Coldplay are a pop band have obviously never heard of the term "pop rock". One Direction is a pop band. Coldplay is not.

I misread that sentence and thought it meant hard rock for some reason. However, I don't consider anything on Ghost Stories rock (except for Ghost Story) personally speaking. I like that MX and seemingly AHFOD are pop-rock, because it's a very overlooked genre that has a lot of great artistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
