That was just from last year. Notice the happy face cap.

Oh haha lol. Very accurate though.

Resurrecting this meme

 

yeah, only because SOMEONE opened their big mouth about it in an interview :shifty:

You know, it'd be a lot easier waiting if Chris never mentioned it ffs

 

if he hadn't mentioned anything it'd be a lot easier without expecting anything.

^then we'd have ppl complaining that we're getting no news. point is, there's always something to complain about, so why not just be happy with what we did get.

If people have the will of writing in a CP-based community I think it's because they think they are fans of the band. I don't know why someone should say they're not just because they don't like the recent outputs of the band. What the guys have done during the last few years doesn't erase the emotions they made us feel during the early years with their awesome music. So the ones who say that people like me aren't fans of the band anymore are wrong. I'm the only one who can say if I'm a fan or not, but I know it's difficult to accept different opinions. I'm not saying this with anger, just take my opinion for what it is.

There was a moment some years ago in which the guys were among the best bands in the world, now they're not anymore, but they're still capable of releasing music of that level. That's why I still follow them

To me, this is what a good pop-rock album is these days:

Or at least it is what I think. It is what I like. But 0k, it's just my taste, others may think it is not. But I would like Coldplay to release something like this or similar.

I see. To clarify what I said (or what i've said in the past about this topic); I meant to say that I dont think 'those fans' are fans of the band's current output.

Uhmm yeah Coldplay ain't gonna sound like that... Closest they were to that was AROBTTH, and drifting further and further away from it since. I think we gotta be realistic and expect more of the same AHFOD sorta songs for this EP, and for Coldplay to never abandon their pop sound. As much as I wish they returned to more Viva-like songs, they already did Viva, and the band moves on after every era (though big picture, you can see it all becoming more and more pop album to album). The band too, has admitted countless times that they were in a great place with AHFOD so why would we expect something different right now?

Sounds like indie rock, not pop at all. Good songs though.

But as @a2iel said, there's no way Coldplay's doing this. They're just not that type of band. Even though it would be fun.

Yes, maybe is more indie or alternative rock, but there are also elements of pop in it. I think that's what Coldplay should add to their music. They can put a little touch of pop, but it's not necessary that they fill an album with lots of pop. It would be like adding tons of sugar to a cake just because you like sweet things. Sometimes it's better that you also add a pinch of salt, and then it would have more balance.

I'm so fricking excited for the new EP. It's looking like Chris opened his big mouth a bit too early, similar to AHFOD. I'm looking towards a late February or early March release date!

hmmm, just thinking now (and also trying to bring the talk back to KEP), i dont think they'd release it too close to the next gig either (Mar 31). They'd probably want to release it with enough time for fans to "get used to" the new songs. So perhaps you are right Steph, maybe late Feb, early Mar!

How many songs do we think, guys? Something like the length of Prospekt?

Yeah same, like they did with PM they're going to want to release a solid while before the next show, because I assume they'll have changed up the setlist a bit and stuff. Since that will probably almost definitely happen (hopefully ugh!) we might be getting an announcement in the next couple of weeks! Please Coldplay hurry tf up and announce it already!

Im still willing to bet that Name and Likeness, Radio Dial, and Voldermort will be on the EP!

Hm, I must need to listen to the other songs, I only listened to two, once I listen to the album enough times I'll probably hear what you're talking about much more clearly.

But I agree with your thoughts, great analogy !

Hmm

 

PM EP Release: Nov 21/08

Nov 21/08 they also had a gig in Denver as well as 16 other gigs in the previous 30 days

so actually, they didn't release it before a tour, they did it during!

yeah, probably PM length. I just hope they're actually new songs. Not like LiT II, LiJ (remix) and Lost+.

^You're almost definitely gonna get something like Kaleidoscope+ (lol)

*sneaks in and whispers unsubstantiated guess from a few weeks ago* april 14th...

^You're almost definitely gonna get something like Kaleidoscope+ (lol)

what makes you think that? because that was an instrumental-ish piece?

*sneaks in and whispers unsubstantiated guess from a few weeks ago* april 14th...

 

Well April 14th is a Friday. AOAL and AHFOD both dropped on a Friday. So we can probably expect a Friday release for this EP as well.

^I can never remember or understand that. Which day do singles, albums get released and why? And how rigid is this rule?

Damn, I thought they started touring again at the start of 2009. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

I'm not sure 100% sure but i'm pretty sure labels usually release music on Fridays or Tuesdays. Have no clue why but it's pretty consistent.
