In a few hours we'll know more about the song. I am also excited about finding out what Oldplayers think about AOAL.

 

Indeed, see you later :D

So while we wait on the upcoming single, can I just remind everyone how perfect this song is?

I love that song!! Totally underrated....it's one of my favorites off AROBTTH

I'm loving this thread.

 

I think of Prospekt's March as the last Oldplay release. It's a neat EP and I'm aware it's mostly leftovers from the Viva sessions, but in retrospect it felt like the beginning of the end. I remember hearing Glass of Water for the first time and thinking it was a little too poppy and upbeat in an over-the-top bombastic way for my tastes. Still a good song, but slightly concerning. Then of course there was Lost+ with Jay Z, need I say more? I kind of hoped these would be one offs as it was something of a b-sides collection but lo and behold, three years later MX went further in that direction.

 

For what it's worth I thought that GS was a huge improvement, and I'm approaching AHFOD with an open mind. MX was a terrible album though, and there's no way around that for me. Such an enormous downwards leap from a band with so much promise.

^ahaHAAHAHAHAH

 

 

 

same. :| Well, mostly. It's less worse than ETIAW though (I think) :uhoh:

I think I even like ETIAW a tiny little bit more, but yeah, roughly on the same level for me.

 

:(

I prefer ETIAW. Might prefer ASFOS too. Eep :worried:

I just want Coldplay to keep making albums and alright take me on this fun ride with the new music but then come back around to their start. There's always hope, I know they have it in them to create more beautiful music that captivates us like the old but also innovates their sound.

Let's just wait for the album to come out and see what else they've got for us to tear apart! :laugh3:

Oh take me back to the start

I'm very lukewarm to this news.

 

I'm not really sure if I should hate it or not.

What a great thread! This is one of my absolute favorites:

Wow, I've never seen this video before! Thanks!

 

I too am an Oldplayer...haha! I just found this thread, so catching up..

Now I really hope they call it quit after this album.

They're taking a long break but not quiting.

I know. As i ran away said in the other thread, they're artistically dead

I don't hate it. My expectations were very low so I was pleasantly surprised when I heard a riff and a funky groove. Can all the Oldplayers agree it's a step up from ASFOS at least?

 

As far as the album goes, I'm really happy to see Noely G there. The fact he even associated himself with the album would tell me it's going to be okay at the very least. I'm an occasional lurker on Oasis forums and I can only imagine the vitriol this is going to receive. The contempt for Coldplay in those quarters is unbelievable.

 

Beyonce can drive off a cliff :rolleyes: No doubt the POC of this album.

 

Is the Gwyneth "Yoko Ono" Paltrow thing confirmed? (Please no)

Yes, it's better than ASFOS. I like also like it better than ETIAW and Paradise because the production isn't heavy like those two songs. It's light and funky.

Yep. I was hoping for this type of a dance song, glad it's not edm again. Some of the production could be a bit less though. Before the release I was thinking of groovy songs I like, like these:

and

I guess it's kind of that direction, which I don't mind. It will fit nicely with them in a playlist lol. Of course not as organic and I do think those 2 songs above are overal better songs, but anyway I can surely enjoy AOAL.

Chris on the sirius fm interview:

 

Interviewer: "What was something Coldplay 2015 did that maybe, Coldplay 2005 wasn't evolved into yet?"

 

Chris: "We wanted to let go the concept of being a rock band"

 

It's over guys. We lost.

Hi,

can I join you in the mourning, please?

This makes me so terribly sad it's ridiculous.

 

I just listened to Politik and it's made me even more sad. What happened???

Oh, it's a huge disappointment. I was very surprised by the guitar and the bass, but it sounds like a fake plastic song.

 

Well, they look like a band made by teenagers trying to copy Maroon V's songs.

Yeah the fact that Noel is on the album gives me a lot of hope actually. I can definitely see some sounds Noel would dig on AOAL, and I think he'd keep whatever track he's on from becoming too poppy. I imagine it will sound like some of the stuff on his solo albums. Danceable, but psychedelic instead of poppy.

 

Also, just curious, what is the Gwyneth/Yoko thing?
