Hm, looks like the inside of a *Church* to me, seriously.

Also likeable! Similar to my mentoning of old temples and stuff.

We need to ask @yoyo2000 for that!

[uSER=100956]@Stephen[/uSER] runs the thread now!

I got interested in the song title Cry Cry Cry and googled and found out it's a Johnny Cash song...

That's very interesting indeed.

 

I googled the other song titles and found out that none of them is original.

But I didn't find a real connection between those other songs and Coldplay.

 

'Sunrise' is a song by Norah Jones

'Church' is a song by Samm Henshaw

'Daddy' is a song by Beoncé.

'Old Friends' is a song by Simon and Garfunkel.

'WOTW/POTP' is a Potpourri of the 20 songs of 'The war of the worlds' Musical by Jeff Wayne

etc, etc

The only really original song title seems to be that of Disco2, Number 6.

 

:)

I don't like the idea of a cover album...

But I'm pretty sure the band wouldn't do it.

I am also (almost) sure they wouldn't do that, but why didn't they come up with more original song titles as they did on the other 7 albums? As Chris once said, titles are normally what he starts with when writing songs, and he showed his smartphone where he had literally hundreds of titles.

I am actually a fan of The War of The Worlds soundtrack tho it is freaking awesome

1 day and 21 hours left and we'll know the style of the album guys... The hardest thing right now is being patient haha

What does it all mean?!! :oops:o_O:neutral:

Yessssss!!! There are so many possibilities!!!!! They are back!

This is interesting. The one reason that makes me think this can't be a cover album is because they said this album is "how they've been feeling." I can't see that translating to covering other people's songs. Also, we know that Arabesque is a song from the MX era. I don't see it.

I don't think it's a cover album either, but maybe - dare I say it ? Maybe their track titles are just a little uninspired/lazy this time.

Some of them are pretty mundane. But 1919 was a simpler time. I'm assuming it's a reflection of that.

Don't forget that these titles are still unconfirmed!

I wouldn't like a cover album either, but I just remembered the little clip they released. Which sounded a lot like one of the charlie chaplin songs

They could always have their own work with one cover on the album, plenty of bands do that.

They made Light Through the Vein into Life in Technicolor/The Escapist and Computer Love into Talk. They took lyrics from someone to start Up with the Birds with. They like to do these things.

What is strange about those titles, the list obviously appeared on amazon. I have an amazon account, but when I write 'Coldplay, Everyday Life' into the search bar I don't get any results, if I write 'preorder' I don't get any results either.

I read somewhere that the list appeared on amazon 'too early'. That is very strange. The poster in Sao Paulo also appeared 'too early' and had to be taken down.

Only Amazon Italy and Canada had it, though. And I think by now both have been taken down.

But the source code did have four song titles. One of them is gonna be released this Thursday? I think either Trouble In Town or Everyday Life as the first single? But which one sounds better as the 1st single?

Guys! Whoever said it was a cover album??

 

Just because they had one song with the same name as Johnny Cash doesn’t mean all the other songs are covers. Lol. They aren’t!

 

They can always just do that ONE cover song.

 

But honestly, I just think the name is a coincidence. They’ve never put a cover song on an EP, so I don’t think they’ll start now

Maybe they are. I hope not though.

The fact that the artwork and track list was published by two Amazon stores and then taken down pretty much confirms that they will be the official album cover and tracklist.

Doesn’t seem that Trouble In Town will be a cover!

I'm still not wholly convinced by the tracklist. If it's official, why would one of the spots be left blank--even if it supposedly is a sun/moon emoji? It is interesting they would choose to include Arabesque. Of all the old scrapped MX songs, that one was one I've always wanted to hear.

 

I'm slightly more convinced by the album art, if only because the guys have slightly different expressions on the top and bottom. That would be hard to fake. It is weirdly similar to the AHFOD artwork though, and it seems strange that the guys would choose to start repeating themes now, eight albums in.

 

But also, how could either the tracklist or the art be fake if they were uploaded together? You would think they would either both be fake or both be legitimate.

 

This has been a weird era so far... I don't know what to believe :joy:

 

Also... Assuming the countdown on the website is for a single release, what other info do you think we get? A confirmed tracklist? I'm curious to see what the single artwork will be!

Oh I’m definitely sure we’ll get official track list and album cover out with the single.

The Coldplay reddit are in complete denial that the Amazon leak is real. I'm not saying it definately is, but there's like a 75% chance. "I don't like it, therefore it's fake" is not a great argument.
