midnightishh Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Also, I do believe that when people have referred to the first album as "experimental", we have to read that with a pinch of salt. Unless a huge surprise, experimental Coldplay will still be pretty mainstream. Some people think Ghost Stories is an experimental album... Nah. Nope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prco1994 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hey guys! Pilar Zeta seems to be the art director for this new era as well! She’s the one in charge of all art for AHFOD (album cover, etc), you can see on her Instagram she posted about the new images! Interesting... 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewsky Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I imagine Chris saying that the two albums are two sides of the same coin. The experimental album is represented by the moon, a darker sound. The mainstream album (due in 2020) is represented by the sun, more colorful and vibrant. Two albums now? I obviously missed something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why the image of the moon and the sun remind me so much of the flower of life of AHFOD that was first posted in a black background... Wouldn’t be surprised if tomorrow or when the announcement drops that they zoom out on the moon and the sun and there’s much more to that image posted today than what we think 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightishh Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Two albums now? I obviously missed something. Right now the rumor is that this will be a more experimental and lowkey album while the next one, which will come out next year (I think), will have more mainstream elements. I'm mildly confused but happy! :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewsky Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 22th november 1919 22 + 1 + 9 + 1 + 9 = 42 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think Violet Hill was originally B&W. But the videos that were changed add up to 42 minutes and it's the 42nd week of the year right now, according to an earlier post in this thread. Coincidence? 42 ... "Time is so short and I'm sure, there must be something more". So... they continue doing music together. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I am hoping for an announcement and new music tomorrow But I think it would be a huge surprise since there have been no leaks besides that Daily Star article. I believe it is more likely that we will have to wait more time before new music.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Well everyone should check this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_and_crescent The star and crescent is a symbol that crosses time and cultures. It was most commonly used by the Ottoman Empire and now modern Turkey. But, generally it is very popular today in Islamic countries (see the flags of Turkey, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Pakistan and Tunisia). The most similar to Coldplay's design is this Byzantine one: [ATTACH type=full" alt="9344]9344[/ATTACH] I'd thought of Turkey too but it's not the same star - it's a 10 pointed star, also known as a Decagram. There's a ton of rabbit holes that open up when you search for Decagram :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcebatofvalikinRRBZ8 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Violet Hill is not originally black and white. There is a slight purple hue to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a huge surprise, experimental Coldplay will still be pretty mainstream. Yes - I remember when they were making Mylo Xyloto and reading an artilcle that Coldplay were mastering a "brave" new direction - MX definitely sounded different to previous works but was by far their most pop record at that point. Maybe by experimental they could just mean "experimenting with new sounds" ? :P 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is more likely that we will have to wait more time before new music.... i wouldn't be so sure on that the bigger you are as a band- sometimes the more control you have- like Bowie and Blackstar they've become pretty adept at flying under the radar at The Bakery or wherever at times thru the years. plus the strength/onslaught of this campaign...makes me think we get announcement and single tomorrow...with album dropping Nov. 22. honestly they'd be foolish NOT to drop a little something Friday...likely 7am UK time? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMonkey Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Another possible idea for the two albums - first one called 'Night' second, more mainstream album called 'Day'. Night and Day represented in the logos. Still think this one's just called 1919 though haha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMonkey Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I've also just noticed this - "founded in 1919":cool: 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMonkey Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 This 1919 number....what is about, really? Personally I think the albums inspired by events & music from 1919 - this would explain the solar eclipse and using the moon and sun in the new logo. It would also explain the "old wooden piano" sound that was heard at Coldplay's new video shoot in Malibu last week, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prco1994 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Maybe it’s not Coldplay that was founded in 1919... Maybe is the band on the poster :eyes: Maybe they’re doing something like the Beatles did for Sgt. Peppers and they’re gonna be a “ficticious” band for this era, and that’s the band that was founded in 1919... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators stephen Posted October 17, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2019 if new music is coming, it will drop in 10 mins or about 7am tomorrow right? I’m guessing 7am! Perhaps we may just get an announcement, or worse yet, nothing at all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
