I ran away

Clue 2 and Clue 3 are redundant in order to reinforce the message. Clue 1 = Warning Sign No Clue 4, because you are literally staring at the forest but not seeing it. Come on ! :D Dare to make a guess !

I have a pre-sale code to offer because I ended up getting newsletters to more than one email adress :) Here it is, feel free to use it: AHFODJki1wPy

OMG OMG OMG. So in the US you can see Coldplay for 30 dollars already ? (in my home country it started at ca. 87 dollars !) *thinks about finding a way to stay here longer*

No... to put it more plainly, YOU are all not seeing the forest for the trees here. Go back to Clue 1 with that in mind ! :P

Thanks ! Never seen this before !

True ! But maybe you are on the right way now after this realization !! :)

*googles "album covers with towels"*

That's great ! I have to confess I don't like High Speed and Everything's Not Lost though. :)

Unfortunately not. Clues 2 and 3 are not really about trees, forests or hills. They are sayings. Apply the message of that saying to Clue 1: Warning Sign

Wait, what ? Been a while since I saw that video but where does it contain that :) Anyway, not In My Place...

OK, next time I'm gonna mark sarcasm with an extra big /s for you ;) Look, I get that you really like Coldplay's newer stuff and I'm happy that you do, but to each his own. I don't feel that I am missing out on something if I do not like or listen to Coldplay's newer stuff. I strongly doubt I will regret not having liked Coldplay's more recent output, which is by the way a weird thing to postulate in itself- when would you ever expect someone to go "I wish I would have liked this music back then" ?? Either you like something or you don't. My life does not revolve around Coldplay. Not even my musical life revolves around Coldplay - I may adore their earlier work but it's not all I listen to; four years ago I didn't even know them. That said, I am (and I believe that's key to understanding my opinions) really picky in terms of music and personally think that the vast majority of what is put out these days is not worth it. Perhaps I like early Coldplay so much because they were the first contemporary artist I found myself enjoying not one or two songs but entire albums ! I do find it deplorable that they have changed their style that much because I think they used to make excellent music and I think that they are not doing excellent music any more at this point. That's my opinion and I know you don't share it, but well, for me personally it's saddening that the percentage of music I enjoy from their respective albums is now almost down to an average contemporary artist. In short, they are not special to me anymore, far from it.

Oh cool. No it's ok, I think it's legit to use Google :D

Yes thats it ! Just out of curiosity, if you have never listenend to the album how did you recognize it ? :)

In the absence of gethithom, here's another one to guess (I'm listening to this album right now...)

Yeah you already voted, and we are counting the old votes, so it doesn't count :)

Can we get a few more votes in, please ? :D

LOL No, Clue 2 and 3 are actually saying the same thing (in Clue 3 it is simply put in the form of "we'd", implying that we don't see the forest in that context)- I put it twice to reinforce the message :)

no

No...but you are getting closer, I think !

Just listening to the Shiver EP on CD....For You and Careful Where You Stand next to each other is just one long moment of warmth and bliss :heart:

I know it's pretty tough in the US :(

Not Yellow. Literally just go back to Clue 1 - you have been seeing all kinds of trees, but not the forest.

It was not free in my federal state while I studied in Germany (it is now because the most recent federal government eliminated the fees), but the fees were still far, far below those in the US for example. And well, I'm not exactly in grad school at the moment but I am on a short-term stay in the US as a visiting scientist and I am getting a small allowance from the institution to support myself here :) Agree that a free education is a very valuable thing one should be grateful for !
