I'm betting WOTW and Son of Adam will be short interludes.

 

Based on titles which song do you think will be your favorite?

 

I'm thinking Champion of the World

called that earlier

Continuing in the tradition of single covers which are clearly better than album covers

New single artwork

 

I do like this one a lot! And I guess Arabesque is the lead single. Weird name for a lead single haha.

The album cover should have been like this!!!

Which makes me wonder once again if what we got as the album cover is just the insert.

Which reminds me...we thought AHFOD was going to be a very simple cover that was just a rainbow flower of life on a black background. But that turns out it was the cover without the extra layer of the cover with all the colourful kaleidoscopic collage (which is pretty cool in retrospect, as visually busy as that was).

 

So maybe they'll pull a similar trick with this album cover - maybe this is an insert and the sun and moon are the cover, I hope. Or something we're totally not thinking of!

Here’s hoping! Haha

12 count em 12 hours left

goodnight folks

Game day!! I'm guessing they drop a big collab today/tomorrow. Adele/Daft Punk? But hoping for some oldplay/vivaplay.

Do we have previews of the singles?! I can’t see them anywhere

Hey [uSER=100956]@Stephen[/uSER]! Could you create a thread for every individual song now that the list is confirmed?

One of the perks of being in NZ, the next 10hrs won’t be a drag as I’ll be asleep for most of it.

 

So nice to wake up to new Coldplay. :grinning:

I'm hyped for this. One rock track, one pop banger. Every Teardrop / Major Minus vibes.

How do you know?

Just confirmed on radio 1 that the singles will both be hottest records on Annie Macs show so I expect there will be some form of short interview.

Wow,

Had an amazing dream about the release this night, sunset was very very rythmic, Beyoncé and Thom Yorke were both involved:eek: Unfortunately woke up before the sunrise part started, so will have to wait for Orphans tonight to hear what the second part sounds like....:rolleyes::laughing:

There were more ads in other newspapers around the world.

 

(sorry if this was mentioned before)

Orphans the first single right? And Arabesque not the 2nd single?

Oh btw I hope someone will be recording Chris’ interview on BBC radio 1!

According to their Facebook page, the band is formed in 1919. I'm really curious what is all going on with this 1919 stuff

Yeah me too. And the whole jazz band thing. Cause it doesn’t fit with the Arabic theme they have going as well.

I have a sense this album will be quite similar to AHFOD rather than Viva. Viva seems to be the gold standard in regards what people want to see from the bands ‘experimentation’ but I predict we’ll see songs like AHFOD, Birds, Fun etc

 

I think that rockier track will be an Up&Up or AOAL equivalent, but it’s hard to say from only a snippet.

Some people say it will be pop / E-Lo ish. While others say it's really Viva like.

I didn't hear the leaks myself (and I don't want to) but you hear really different opinions depending on who you ask.

I'm excited, only 9 hours left :laughing:
