[GIVEAWAY] EVERYDAY LIFE GOLD VINYL & LOVE IN TOKYO CD

Higher Power's outro sounds like the live intro singalong to the live 2012 version of ETIAW! Could it be a connection to the MX era and have similar concepts/arrangements/themes (since Alien Radio was an idea Coldplay had during the MX era)? I am hopeful! IMG_7934.MP4 IMG_7934.MP4 IMG_7934.MP4

High Speed vs Eko

Maybe this is why they stopped playing most of the songs from Viva (apart from the obligatory Viva la Vida because it's a hit and a stadium crowd will sing along every time). There's a kind of darker atmosphere to the album that may not be as dark as Trouble In Town but still doesn't fit so well with the themes and sounds of AHFOD. I'm amazed they played Violet Hill at all during the AHFOD tour. Even then, they only played it sparingly.
