LelieJens 371 Posted November 12, 2019 Or download the leak but don't listen to the files until the album's official release day. ^^ Maybe I will do it this way, as I don't pre-order things and I'm very sure I can't get the CD and double-LP on release day, the time when I order them.

andrewsky 466 Posted November 12, 2019 Spotify? Of course. But I prefer high quality audio. :p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Adversary 1039 Posted November 12, 2019 I think if you have every intention of buying the album it’s okay to listen to the leaks. The above argument is a bit strange, we don’t know how long we’ll have to wait for new Coldplay because this album is not being toured, so we should wait even longer to listen to Coldplay when a leak of the whole album is already out there? I don’t see the logic in that if I’m honest. If you’re still dead set against listening now I’d advise you to stay away from any Coldplay sites because, if you’re anything like me, you wouldn’t be able to wait after reading what people have been saying. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coeurli 806 Posted November 12, 2019 The above argument is a bit strange, we don’t know how long we’ll have to wait for new Coldplay because this album is not being toured, so we should wait even longer to listen to Coldplay when a leak of the whole album is already out there? I don’t see the logic in that if I’m honest. My point is : we only have a week and a half to wait for new Coldplay music, we know that, but we don't know how much we are going to have to wait after that, and it definitely won't be just 10 days haha and in the meantime we already have some content to keep us waiting. Once they're done promoting (which tbh could happen very very fast), it's completely over. So yeah if you wait until official release date, you do have a longer time enjoying the era and the experiences as they are meant to be experienced. Btw i do not personally have a strong stance on leaks, the only thing that matters to me is that everyone buys the album. I'm just here for emotional support to whoever is unsure or looking for arguments not to hear it lol AND OFFICIALLY : As a Coldplaying moderator I am here to remind you that we do not encourage leaks as they are, well, illegal and disrespectful to the band and their crew and jeopardize their campaign. The latest posts in this thread have been encouraging leaks and listening to leaks a lot and that's just not in line with Coldplaying's official stance on the matter. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eskapist 228 Posted November 12, 2019 I listened to it but i agree with Coeurli anyway. I'd never have listened to it if i wasn't sure to buy the album DAY ONE ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ParadiseLost 151 Posted November 13, 2019 Interesting discussion - I already caved though. :joy: Have ordered my copy so hope its okay :D The boys always have great live performances. But if I take the example of Everyday Life (the song), I didn't hear the song before the performance and while I still enjoyed it, I only appreciated it's beauty after hearing the studio version... Dunno, for me I think, the studio version sets a kind of expectation of the song and the live version shatters it and it feels great. But the other way round takes away from both the things -- the performance seems alien and the album then will feel weird. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shred 775 Posted November 13, 2019 Well introducing most of MX songs on tour ruin the album for me so I think I’ll listen to the studio version first before the live stream. That is if the album is up on Spotify before the live performance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup! It's quite rough to wait another week knowing that the album is out there, but I think I can handle it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M Marks The Spot 1188 Posted November 13, 2019 Pretty dead in here now everyone has flocked to the leak forum....bet they are alll having a great time in there haha! Anyone else sticking it out til 22nd Nov? I'm doing my best to persist in waiting till 22 November even though I've already heard snippets of few songs from the leaked album that my friends sent me and read countless reviews because I'm keen on the idea of hyping myself up for next week haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12779 Posted November 13, 2019 I'll say this much...not all of the album might be for everyone but there are quite a number of masterpieces in there, so you're in for a treat come November 22 ! Also, I think both Oldplayers and Newplayers will see some of their wishes fulfilled ;) 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vico xt 264 Posted November 13, 2019 I've only heard When I Need A Friend because it has a part in Spanish and my friend needed someone to translate it But for the rest, I'm coping with it the best I can. That same friend told me his favourite song is Champion of the World, so I'm desperate to hear it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merril 502 Posted November 13, 2019 So far I haven't heard any of the leaked songs but I went to the thread and read a few reviews. I was embarrassed how widely opinions diverge. There seem to be some really bad songs on the album. Well, I won't read any more comments. I am just going to enjoy the album on November 22nd! I am sure Coldplay won't disappoint me!

LelieJens 371 Posted November 13, 2019 Wow. They really need to release that as a video. That will probably happen. I'm glad I didn't listen to the album yet, so this small teaser (and hopefully more next week) are small surprises, just like an advent calendar haha 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coeurli 806 Posted November 13, 2019 That's the second creative visual snippet we've seen from the album.... I suspect either a visual album is coming or full videos for several songs to be released....Or, but that would be less cool, the Jordan broadcast could include some of these visuals instead of 100% live music...but that's unlikely, right ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcebatofvalikinRRBZ8 559 Posted November 13, 2019 I hope this gets released either on album day or maybe this friday/weekend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coeurli 806 Posted November 13, 2019 Actually I just realized something : they mentioned that via Youtube premium we would get exclusive content... So I assume that content might just be full videos of these beautiful animations for several tracks of EL. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
