Nothing new was played. Jimmy does actually have information that is not public. It is just a confirmation of a song title as far as I know. Monkeys paw is a joke I think.

One more theory:

The new single + album information are scheduled to be released the day after the depicted moon phase!

This means approximately on Wednesday.

This seems possible. According to Ken19 we should’ve gotten information Friday but it was delayed. Wednesday seems very likely. Tomorrow is also possible!

I'm thinking a small teaser tomorrow, a bigger teaser wednesday and then a single on friday.

 

Seems plausible riiiiight?

I imagine this guy laughing at us like Joker, if all this is made up o_O

Where is @Batman when we need her?

I'm right here

Teaser out Monday!!

“Perhaps that’s why this upcoming new album is reportedly more “experimental”. What that means in Coldplay’s world, though, is likely not 10-minute ambient soundscapes and jarring techno-noise but more pop classics with subtle undertones of something new.”

 

My thoughts exactly. Haha

Just give us a single before November 22nd, please...

I get the point of the article, since their last few albums had that kind of appeal..but at the same time I kinda think this is a little ridiculous... I mean she can't really guess what they are aiming to in this new era. There isnt even a single yet, and..well they did have moments in their careear that sound quite experimental: Spies (early version), spell rebel well, even some solos on pré-parachutes era, like in such a rush. On viva we had chinese sleep chant, the bridge/structure of 42, the escapist. I know its not like Kid a's experimental but..it is a lot more than the last few records, even though midnight kind has a little of that touch...So Idk...maybe the band can go back doing those kinda of stuffs, A.L.I.E.N.S did gave a hint in that direction, those reverse guitars...idk hahaha. So I guess that some people forgot about these moments on their careear, it makes me a little sad. Anyway...dont know what to expect for now...but.. I mean...enough of the mainstream pop feel, it has been too long.

 

And sorry about my english guys

May we all wake up Monday morning and have a nice juicy teaser waiting for us!

 

(for those of who who it's already Monday . . . may we get a nice juicy teaser before you go to bed!)

I can't imagine us getting a whole album as daring as Viva ever again, apart from a song here and there like Midnight. But what I love about Coldplay is that they can make a soaring anthem out of everything from baroque music to electronic-infused dance rock, space rock, and a piano ballad. Though I consider myself an Oldplayer, I've come to accept that there's something very distinctly "Coldplay" that is always there whether they are pushing their sonic limits or not. This article is spot on about what I'm expecting. Doesn't mean I'm not hyped, because I am. I'm just not expecting a full album of classical music or jazz.

So because of that snippet, I’ve been listening to VLV and GS non stop now.

 

I may or may not be hoping that the new album will sound like either one of those. Hahaha.

Let’s hope they release something soon!

Maybe "TiT" for Trouble in Town ?? It's the likely first single based on the source code leak from coldplay.com....

That's the worst acronym for a song in all of time :P

I agree completely! The uniqueness is in Jonny's tone, Chris's voice and the atmosphere/build-up created by the rhythm section (Will and Guy). Even if every song is not a "bleeding exploration of rock's edges" (as one article put it some time ago I remember), it is still uniquely and distinctly Coldplay -- which makes even their so-called lesser works awesome for me!

I hated the idea of transforming the old songs. Why would I wanna listen to Paradise and The Scientist with different arrangements etc. I like it the way it is. It's just does not make sense. Just look at R.E.M. as they are rearranging Monster for the album's 25th anniversary and Coldplay can do that for years to come but it should not be a new album. I think (and hope) that this idea will not see the daylight. (Pun intended)

Greg James just spent a good few minutes on radio 1 discussing the teaser over the weekend and Chris performance but unfortunately no new info

How the heck did he get the album already?! Is there some sort of Coldplay illuminati club that I'm missing out on? because it seems that way....

 

It does seem that way :(

 

I hated the idea of transforming the old songs.

I would also hate that!!

But what about those songs that have turned black and white like Aliens, Yellow etc. ?? It might be these songs are their favourites and will appear on an album 'Best Of '?

Clearly seems to be the case, and the people who are a part of it can be the most random of folks... like, the first person to say that LP6 would be called Ghost Stories was a random passenger who happened to be on the same flight as Chris.

vintage cping smileys :heart::heart::heart: :dazzled:

The suspense is killing me.

 

LP8, in my opinion needs to really be a palette cleanser. It seems in Coldplay’s universe nowadays “experimental” does not mean a Kid A (or even a VLVODAAHF for that matter) It means what genre of bland, aneurism inducing rubbish modern chart music Coldplay is going to ape this time.

 

From the very little we have seen from the artwork and tiny twitter snippet it’s looking good . I seriously doubt we’re going to get any sort of acoustic, post Brit pop, limestone rock but at the very least we might get some classical arrangements in the vein of Viva/jazz elements.

 

For the love of God please no more collaborations.

That's the worst acronym for a song in all of time :p
