Violet Hill ? (Captain of a sinking ship)

Less than 4 hours to go ! :D

Ah, nice ! Yeah, continue believing those conspiracy theories. I will not discuss them with you. You know, in my work I sometimes had to talk to people who believed that cancer was an invented disease ad vaccinations were harmful and a conspiracy of the pharmaceutical industry. You can tell them the facts and cite all the scientific evidence in the world, they will not believe you. That's how I realized it does not make sense to talk to them and try to convince them otherwise. If someone strongly believes something that is irrational, no rational reasoning can make this person see sense, so by all means continue believing that Mylo Xyloto is connected to "OTO". I am sorry, but in the end, as a scientist I always go with evidence and plausibility, not unproven assumptions and hypotheses. And by the way your post was rude.

I know, to me Afghan and Persian culture are really different hence my comment, but of course I see why CM said that ! :)

More than 1300 posts and more than 24000 views in less than 4 months, amazing ! Happy New Year Oldplayers ! Let's hope the AHFOD Tour 2016 will bring some live recordings of Oldplay songs for us to watch soon !

I like "in the chaos of times" more, to be honest. For me it's gonna stay that way :D

For me, the association is more flying over a stormy ocean at night, with the sea raging but a little bit of red light of the dying sun shining through in the background. I guess the lines "An ocean awaits...the parting of ways (which I initially thought to be the parting of waves)...lightning strikes...two forces collide"

That sounds like an reasonable explanation to me. After all, Beyonce fandom is very different from the traditional Coldplay fandom, even if Coldplay fandom slowly moves in her direction with the latest style developments. Although to be fair the same would apply for Rihanna and yet she was credited.

AOAL doesn't make me wanna sing along that much, but for other songs I often sing a mashup of Chris's and Will's backing vocals/Oooohoooos

I think Fun is a song best listened to when the dusk begins to fall. Another definitive song of the night is XMTS, although of course you might argue that there is no good time for listening to it because it is never a good idea to listen to it :P

Listening to X&Y on a bass-heavy speaker at full blast in the lab at night with nobody around but me !

No Surprises ?

You need to post a new song to review :)

I'd recommend you to do that, Parachutes has a great flow as an album and creates an incredibly great, warm, cosy atmosphere :)

What do you mean with dissonnant chord progressions ? I always thought they were a trademaks sign of Radiohead, not Coldplay. Can you give some examples ?

I Ran Away Of course ! :D

Vashti Bunyan - Lookaftering (an excelltne album, you should check it out !)

And I could write a song a hundred miles long..

Nice posts all of you ! I just thought who knows what the next year will be like ? In the future, where will I be ? Exactly 12 hours to go here !

I know, I looked it up in the list right now :D

I doubt this will happen, but you are right in that it would make us jump with joy ! :D

No, it's true - I'd never heard of them before the end of 2011 but quickly became a fan (and an ardent proponent of their earlier works, as most people know :D)
