March 4, 20179 yr The first thing that came to my mind during that was U2's Desire. No clue why. I though All I Want Is You, anyhow Coldplay getting a more U2 vibe is pretty flipping fine with me! 2 best bands on earth
March 4, 20179 yr Administrators i get it but remember i'm pretty sure Atlas is run by like 2 people who are fans that are just as excited as we are Atlas has more staff than us
March 4, 20179 yr Atlas has more staff than us shit really? I don't know why i always thought it was just 2 fans. I mean you could probably do that alone, anyway
March 4, 20179 yr shit really? I don't know why i always thought it was just 2 fans. I mean you could probably do that alone, anyway Nah, they've always been tweeting news 24/7. There is no way you can run a news account alone like that when a new single drops at like 3am and you're asleep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 4, 20179 yr shit really? I don't know why i always thought it was just 2 fans. I mean you could probably do that alone, anyway if it was that easy, wouldn't everyone do it? I think you're grossly underestimating how much work and coordination is going on with all the fansites thats why i'm super grateful and apprciative of Coldplay and Coldplay Atlas, etc for what they do and how well they're doing it. Yes, only a few pages ago I kinda slammed Atlas, but even I can say the speed at which they move is very impressive.

March 4, 20179 yr I just found a video on Coldplaying's twitter from August 2016 of someone that recorded the band at the Rose Bowl playing 'Hypnotised' during soundcheck... [MEDIA=twitter]767151103704195072[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/coldplaying/status/767151103704195072 Theres another video of the band playing another song. I'm wondering if this song will probably be on the new EP... it could either be 'All I Can Think About Is You', 'Miracles 2', or 'A L I E N S'... [MEDIA=twitter]767161418214961152[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/coldplaying/status/767161418214961152 holy shit, this is awesome, thanks for digging this up! really curious what number 2 is. At first I could see it being M2, but not i'm not so sure.

I paid more attention to the bottom one when I first heard it, I don't remember the top one well but we definitely should pay attention to this bottom one as just like the top one it could be a glimpse of what's coming... It does sound really good and unique. I've seen some other compare it to U2 and in particular a song with a title similar to All I Can Think About Is You so piossibly it's that one. Hopefully we get to hear more of that song and it isn't just a improv or a song they decided to never complete. Sounds like something from the Viva era almost as well. Excited for this

March 5, 20179 yr The end of Hypnotised reminds me a bit of the unreleased Famous Old Painters' ending. Does anyone else hear it too?
March 5, 20179 yr The end of Hypnotised reminds me a bit of the unreleased Famous Old Painters' ending. Does anyone else hear it too? actually i was thinking about this the other day, but more that the beginning melody reminded me of FoP. not that it seems the same, just gives me that same feeling
March 5, 20179 yr The end of Hypnotised reminds me a bit of the unreleased Famous Old Painters' ending. Does anyone else hear it too? Idk why but it actually reminds me of Poppyfields instead...

March 6, 20179 yr This thought just occurred to me: If I'm thinking correctly, the Kaleidoscope EP is the third EP in Coldplay's history not to feature an eponymous track (the other ones being the Safety EP and the Blue Room EP), and only the second official studio release since their first album not to have one (the other one being Ghost Stories).
March 6, 20179 yr I'm really hoping that second soundcheck is something from the new EP. It sounds amazing! Sounds so VIVA-ish !
March 6, 20179 yr The end of Hypnotised reminds me a bit of the unreleased Famous Old Painters' ending. Does anyone else hear it too? Kind of, but Famous Old Painters outro fades out longer. For me it doesn't remind me too much
March 7, 20179 yr Guessing what any of the songs we haven't heard off the ep is only going to make it more disappointing when we hear it. Everyone expected AHFOD to be dreamy and guitar filled and that's not what you got. Coldplay is constantly changing their sound so trying to guess what a new release will sound like is pointless and will only make it more disappointing when it's released.

March 7, 20179 yr Personally during the wait I'm expanding my musical tastes by finding new artists everyday so I'll be genuinely surprised by Coldplay's release Sent from my VS986 using Coldplaying mobile app
March 7, 20179 yr I haven't listened the soundcheck and I'm not gonna listen it, but after reading all those comments, I just hope that whatever it is won't be part of Kaleidoscope EP and instead of that it's something of a new future album in 2018 or 2019. Viva part II... Long live Life or La Muerte y Todos Sus Amigos.

Sent from my VS986 using Coldplaying mobile app True, but it's fun. We shouldn't be expecting anything super out of the ordinary from the band though like some were before AHFOD. That's why some were disappointed: overexpectation. I think Viva for some of the longer time fans however played a part in that. i've always felt that what made AHFOD not what it could have been was Stargate's doing and i've seen other people mention this as well with the release of Hypnotised. so i think maybe it's fair to judge based on what we did get from the band already. of course SJLT is on there too, so who knows :p i get what you're saying about the disappointment factor, but what else do you propose we do for the THREE LONG MONTHS before the EP is actually released?? :uhoh: Exactly! Stargate ain't around to ruin anything this time. But artistically I'll still keep expectations lower despite the release of Hypnotised (we can't forget their collab with Chainsmokers which IMO is great and fun but not very creative, I mean it did rip off two of Chainsmoker's previous songs, Closer and Roses...)

Great to find new music but there's so much of it out there and when I turn on the radio, especially alternative I keep finding so many new songs and in one in particular it feels like I have almost all the songs they usually play since they're so good...
March 8, 20179 yr Personally during the wait I'm expanding my musical tastes by finding new artists everyday so I'll be genuinely surprised by Coldplay's release Sent from my VS986 using Coldplaying mobile app that's totally fine, i just meant from a discussion standpoint for us, what will we talk about? wait, what - we could talk about something other than Coldplay?? doesn't seem plausible for me :joy: If I did that I would be totally overloaded lol. Great to find new music but there's so much of it out there and when I turn on the radio, especially alternative I keep finding so many new songs and in one in particular it feels like I have almost all the songs they usually play since they're so good... i heard about this guy called Michael Chapman while listening to NPR today who started in the 70s but didn't really attract much attention back then. now i guess he's getting more recognition with us younger folk. i'm kinda digging him so far, though i haven't listened to too much yet... so i guess what my point is here is it's incredible how much "new" stuff you can find even when it actually comes from decades in the past, in this particular case from when my parents were just children themselves :P
March 8, 20179 yr how about we talk about other artists we listen to so we can all discover some new music? 2016 was a great year for music and i think my musical taste expanded more last year than it did all the years before.

I don't want to be a whiner, but can you do that in an other thread please. Everytime this thread gets changed I'm expecting to find some news about the EP.
