F1-77 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Ahh, it doesn't come out for 8 days here in Australia, so I'm caving to my first ever leak (I did download Coldplay's leak, but couldn't bring myself to listen to it!)... But oh well! Can't wait to listen to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Listened to it once last night (my deluxe copie has been shipped but the french post is soooo slooooow, I can't wait 15 more days to listen to it!) On first listen, I LOVE it!! More than AHMS. I understand now what they were saying when Tom was telling it was 'electronica'. It has electronic vibes but it's well done and subtle (right, not like some bulldozers called CP...*cough*) The all album is very cohesiv me think and it grasps you from the first notes. On the lyrics, same subject always, but more what Gary did with the TP album. Half way through and loving it so far..! The Garden Rules and Berlin are beautiful I absolutely LOVE Berlin! Funny cause it's a small interlude piece (no lyrics) but it's so joyfull. The kind of song you're wistling all day cause it's stuck in your head :) Broken Bottles Form a Star (prelude) sounds amazing. Can't wait to hear the full song on LP7 +10000 ANd I think that this track shows well the boys and gL/Jackniffe gift for movie score... cause this piece really sound like a movie soundtrack! I think I red somewhere that gL kinda consider LP7 like concept album and this track really feels like an opening credit of some imagenary movie....Anyway CAN'T WAIT!

w1ll1am7 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 when is LP7 expected? next year? because I have loved what I've heard of this record! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrk Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 ^I was wondering about it too :thinking: For the people who have heard The Symphony: is a string based song as the title suggests or not? It's the song I most look forward for this album and I don't want to spoil it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1ll1am7 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The Symphony has the electronic elements Lightbody talked about in the record. It sounds very very nice. After my first listen, I am a big fan of Fallen Empires. AHMS kind of missed for me, but this one pulls me right back. And, needless to say, I am SO excited for LP7, because Broken Bottles Form A Star (prelude) really leaves the listener hanging. I want more. It was so different from the rest of the album, so - now we wait, but while we wait, there is a LOT to enjoy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunForTheHills Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Really like the new album! Equal to, if not better than AHMS for me - plenty of fresh and upbeat sounds and melodies throughout for the most part. If only Coldplay were this consistent in terms of quality... :P The Garden Rules, New York, In The End and The Symphony are my favourites. And Berlin makes me smile :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylobryte Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 So I gave in... but it's a FANTASTIC album. Really, very impressed. My favourites so far are This Isn't Everything You Are, The Garden Rules, Life-ning and New York. The latter two left me speechless - so simple, yet so brilliant. Called Out In The Dark is actually one of my least favourites from the album, despite being first single! I'm only not keen on The President and Broken Bottles Form A Star so far, I don't like the way they close the album and it all goes on a bit too long, to be honest. The Symphony would have been a great way to finish! But maybe it will grow on me... 8/10 on first listen, probably will go up by the time my CD gets here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 All of these positive reviews are making me think I can't wait...hmmm :thinking: Amazon.co.uk says it won't be here til the 21-25th! :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lndnsky Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Okay so I am a bad person when it comes to new albums. I just can't resist and I download the leaks always! *but I'm buying it when it comes here* I love it! More than I loved MX after the first listen. "Life-ning" I cried my eyes out, and "New York", "Fallen Empires", "This isn't everything you are", "In the End", "Those Distant Bells" are all just woooow! And the other song IMO are amazing! Definitely one of their best works so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jea Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 :curtain: Hi everyone! I got tickets for Berlin this morning! And then I bought Fallen Empires. Listened to it once so far and I really like it :) Can't wait to hear some of the songs live, Berlin in Berlin.... :wacky: My CD has one of these parental advisory stickers on it :laugh3: Just because of the "fucked" in This Isn't Everything You Are? I've got lots of CDs with swearwords in the lyrics but they never had a sticker :P Oh and Garys picture of the eagle is on the back of the case :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 All you who got tickets today are SO lucky. :freak: Have fun!! :kiss: So I really, really want to buy Fallen Empires on vinyl but it's $40 freakin' bucks. Yet it would be money well spent. Hm. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Waiting for the leak. Wouldn't buy the album even if I could afford it, which I can't as I bought quite a fair amount of CDs this year. I like their music but I don't appreciate it very much. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Listening to it now for the first time, not bad, not bad :wacky: side note, they better announce an Italian date too after Switzerland, why is it that all the bands I like are ignoring us, we're nice people :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Customer Service on the main Universal order site is shit Sent email on Tuesday to cancel the order under the DSR, heard nothing until an email this morning saying "sorry, item has already been posted" as the CD arrived.

karenc Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Got my ticket this week for the Glasgow date in January...YAY!! As for the album, I gave in and downloaded the link. My deluxe version has been shipped so I'm expecting it'll be here on Monday. When I first heard COITD months ago, I wasn't sure about it but it grew on me and now I love it. The album, well it's been the opposite. I'm loving it already and I've only had two listens!! Favourites so far are COITD, In The End, The Weight Of Love, Fallen Empires and This Isn't Everything You Are. All in all, I'd say I'm going to be totally in love with this album very shortly and bring on the tour!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyAndy136 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I wasn't a huge fan of the album when I first heard it. 3rd listen in and I'm really getting into it. I like Fallen Empires, COITD, Berlin and Life-ning. Additionally, does anyone know who the female singer is in the background? She's in a few songs, most notably in I'll Never Let Go.

arwen88 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi guys! You're reviews of the songs sounds VERY promising! :)) Even though I've already heard some of them live at the Shepherds Bush Empire gig, I'm still waiting for my physical copy to listen to it again... but it's beginning to be really really hard! :p Cannot wait to see them in Dublin in January! (& possibly London too :whistle:) It's been a while since I've been this excited about a new album! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
