Jonny and the cake Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 i want quality AND quantity :laugh3: i dont know why but i tend to dislike long album, like X&Y, i prefer having like max 15 tracks but good ones, long at least 5 minutes each or maybe a normal lenght album (11 songs) but an EP after it or tons of bsides the problem is that bsides arent a thing anymore :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtsLikeHeaven42 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 the problem is that bsides arent a thing anymore :sad: Exactly it is so sad. I loved having all these bsides from the first 3 albums and then I was so glad they released prospekts March but then it just went down hill. I don't want a DEULXE EDITION, I want stuff they could have made it, but it didn't, but we are going to give it to you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalekslayer96 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 ^ I know most people say "BECAUSE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY OKAY" but that argument doesn't hold for me to be honest, the more Coldplay the better :wideeyed: See: Mylo Xyloto, X&Y. Both of them have the most number of songs per album (exluding b-sides and bonus content) Are they good? Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprospekt Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 About the recent YouTube uploads: they basically uploaded everything that didn't already have a music video. Look under "playlists". The albums are there, so you can play for example all of AROBTTH with video for In My Place, The Scientist, GPASUYF, and Clocks and then audio for the rest.

grids Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So Will mentioned that the album will be 'really slow'. What do you guys think? New predictions? No 2015? In 2015? 2016? 2017? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I thought you meant it will be slow tempo wise for a minute! Jonny pointed out their track record during the Q&A and looks like nothings gonna change there :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 2016!!!!!!!!! It just seems more likely than 2015. 2017 had they toured under Ghost Stories. I think so too. I have a thought they are going on hiatus this year working on the album. Takes a while but I hope it will be about the completion of the last 6 albums. Speaking of which, most artists (not all of them) they usually release most hits album - they pick most popular singles of all time. I hope Coldplay wont do that - I like the way they release all different songs that come up in one single album and then moving onto the next one.

Revolverwin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 See: Mylo Xyloto, X&Y. Both of them have the most number of songs per album (exluding b-sides and bonus content) Are they good? Not even close. MX only has 11 songs if we exclude the 3 instrumentals. It's even shorter than VLVODAAHF in terms of running time/duration. That being said, I agree that X&Y had lost its magic due to its running time (I think it's more than an hour) but I'll argue that it has really some good and interesting tracks. yes maybe for some they are not as good as AROBTTH of VLV but the magic of this two albums lies basically on the connection it makes. I'm not saying that the other albums doesn't establish connections with the hearer/person. For me, this two albums rely heavily on what you really strongly feel at the moment. You know I really enjoy MX when I'm happy while I tend to play X&Y whenever I want some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyrott1 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It feels more likely to me that this is not an artistic choice to go slow, but probably a personal preference for them nowadays. All their kiddos are getting older, and considering that each of these guys is so damn genuine and nice, I just don't see them committing weeks upon weeks in the studio like they did when they were younger. Certainly a hiatus would mean they can really take their time on the next one and settle down and hang with their families more. During the BBC interviews I definately got the impression that they were really excited to have a big vacation from performing coming up. Especially with Guy and Jonny. Not trying to say that they don't but an immense amount of work into each album, put I am betting that is going to become more of a reality for them.

dalekslayer96 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 \yes maybe for some they are not as good as AROBTTH of VLV but the magic of this two albums lies basically on the connection it makes. Correction: The magic of these two is that they're actually good, compared to X&Y and crap like that. Also, VLV is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Also, VLV is overrated. We have to cling onto the last vestige of Good Coldplay Albums as best we can :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalekslayer96 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 We have to cling onto the last vestige of Good Coldplay Albums as best we can :cry: What I'm saying is that although it's a good album, it's not the best. Take a look at AROBTTH. It has a total of 11 tracks, with Daylight and A Whisper being the weakest. Now take a look at VLV. It has a total of 13 tracks, with Cemeteries of London, Lost and Chinese Sleep Chant being the weakest. Now, we've seen teh worst of each album, we must take a look at the best. For AROBTTH, we have Politik, In My Place, GPASUYF, The Scientist, Clocks, Warning Sign, AROBTTH, and Amsterdam being some proper good songs. For VLV, we have 42, Lovers in Japan, Viva la Vida, Violet Hill, Strawberry Swing, and DAAHF. The rest of the songs that I've omitted in both albums are only mediocre. Now, time for some maths. AROBTTH: 2/11 songs bad, 8/11 songs good. VLVODAAHF: 3/13 songs bad, 6/13 songs good. Bust out a calculator and you'll find that for a common denominator we get 143. So it's 26/143 vs. 33/143 for bad (AROBTTH vs. VLVODAAHF) And 104/143 vs. 66/143 for good (AROBTTH vs. VLVODAAHF) Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can "bust out a calculator" as much as you want, but as long as your numbers are just based on your personal opinion they are meaningless to most other people and therefore the "case" is not closed.

dalekslayer96 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Mylo xyloto, despite some questionable choices, like the good for nothing Rihanna, had its special moments, like Charlie Brown, hurts like heaven, etiaw... I remember hearing those early festival live recordings and thinking wow, instant classics... It is ghost stories that seems to me the most underwhelming. It feels like a stopgap album before an epic mindf***ing mind blowing masterpiece, like a head full of dreams. I hope so, anyway)) Fun fact: The live versions of Mylo were SOOOOOOOOOO much better than the actual album. Every goddam song on VLV is a friggin masterpiece. In my opinion, ofc) Lost! and Chinese Sleep Chant say hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
