Thankfully I’m not in that universe, We’re in the one where I got exactly what I wanted and haven’t been this optimistic about a Coldplay album in god knows how long. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasySuperstition99 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I feel like in a parallel universe somewhere I’m on this thread railing and moaning about how modern Coldplay are bland pop and uninspired. Thankfully I’m not in that universe, We’re in the one where I got exactly what I wanted and haven’t been this optimistic about a Coldplay album in god knows how long. i just really hope they deliver on this one. i just finished watching the weekly best/worst tracks video by anthony fantano (theneedledrop) and he put arabesque in the best tracks of the week segment. while talking about the track he expressed a feeling that i really resonated with: while i’m super excited for a new album, 16 tracks just means more chance for them to drop some duds. i’m reaaaally hoping they just come out with a fantastic record that unites the community again and gets them good critical success. i just want them to blow me away like they used to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It’s hard to say at this point in time but all signs are really looking good. If you go back to the GS era this is exactly what people were asking for.. an experimental sound like Viva with a more indie/alternative vibe and also songs with a bit more edge and TEETH as was said above. I have a feeling that after 2009, looking to the future the band sort of had a feeling that guitar and drums music was falling out of fashion.. which was true to an extent. Musically, this decade will be remembered as the EDM decade. Hence the sudden and dramatic change in sound. Chris Martin tried to reinvent Coldplay into something new, much like Bono did with U2. In a way it worked as they still filled out the stadiums, stayed in the charts and bagged themselves a new set of casual fans... much to the ire of those who loved the old stuff. like U2, I hope Coldplay will grow out of that now and start going back to being themselves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyo2000 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7vzdgJBm74 I hope this one ends up in Everyday Life. It sounds like Oldplay and has a Gravity feel to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prco1994 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Honestly, I love Arabesque as much as anyone here, experimental, long, gritty, beautiful. But the more I listen to Orphans the more it grows on me, it's everything AHFOD should have been with some better mixing in there, it's such a good song honestly, and especially after watching the video it grew on me ten times more. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. Orphans is what coldplay should have done if they were after a pop feel before viva la vida 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InceptRonnie Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Are there already any reviews out there ?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I don't think that article is a review. I had Google translate the page for me and it sounds more speculative than anything else. It makes assumptions about themes of the albums based on song titles and what we've got from Orphans. Usually the only reviews that drop before an album are part of some sort of sponsorship, so maybe NME drops its review 5 days before the album comes out and teases all the tracks. Also, just FYI - I listened to Guy's interview on that podcast and not much gleaned. Basically he says they're excited about the new album coming out and started working on it in Tuscany in 2017 (likely after the AHFOD tour). Didn't dig into any tracks specifically or the sound or anything :( 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom043 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 What do you guys recon will be the release plan until album release? The've planned the first 2 songs to go 4 weeks before album release. I recon they might release 2 songs every thursday/friday. That would make 8 (double) single packages until release and half of the album(s). I think they might as nowadays the streaming landscape prefers more single releases before an actual album release, to boost artist streams (I work for a music label). But I'm hoping they'll just release one more song and then give us the full deal/experience on the 22nd, haha! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the big hit single comes from Sunrise and Sunset as the partner single? And the third single is fro Sunset and Sunrise has the partner single? I think switching back and forth would be cool like that, I mean that's what I would do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Here's the spotify link - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6PtxIT42tPjlP0TSvG70M8?si=eXfZF50GTPu9Tuu0r9jSLg Just look up Mr. JWW podcast and you may find it elsewhere too. I bet we for sure get AT LEAST one more single. Looking at the calendar I feel like maybe the week of Nov. 7th would be a good time to drop two more single tracks in the same style as Arabesque and Orphans so we have 4 teasers going into the 16 track album. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom043 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Im kinda hoping this one will be a Queen inspired tribute, following on Bohemian film-> Champion Of The World 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasperJS Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It is true that Guy said that there won't be any tour for Everyday life? I heard him say that the album is not an album to go on tour with. He also said they do have some surprises and shows planned, but I think it's save to conclude there won't be a tour any time soon.

the_escapist Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Interesting things said by Guy! Some shows confirmed But NO Everyday Life tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So they might do a Ghost Stories type of tour then? Not surprise but really interested to see what shows they have planned. If they do a smaller tour, their production would be better and they would probably go on tour with an orchestra! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskapist Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Orphans grows also in me since the release of the music video ! It's a beautiful pop song and what Coldplay should have been with AHFOD. The bass is fucking awesome ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merril Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Interesting things said by Guy! Some shows confirmed But NO Everyday Life tour. Guy said: 'It's not going to be an album that we take on tour'. So can we presume it is a sort of intimate album like 'Ghost Stories'? Or does it mean they just don't want to tour it because they have had their big stadium tours which can't be topped? Both 'Orphans' and 'Arabesque' seem to have stadium tour qualities, though. Btw, Coldplay will appear on NBC’s Saturday Night Live on November 2. I wonder whether they will play another new song besides Orphans and Arabesque. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcebatofvalikinRRBZ8 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Man, YouTube needs to update Coldplay’s most popular list. X_X the new songs aren’t even up yet! And it’s been 4 days! 3 days for Orphans music video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexix7 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Interesting things said by Guy! Some shows confirmed But NO Everyday Life tour. That means we are getting another album in 2020 or what ? I dont see any reason why they won´t do big Tour for this album expect they have another album in their minds already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
