I ran away

And good old Icarus from Fun also was referred to in Ladder To The Sun ("icaristic")

Birds: The dreaming of escape... The Escapist: ....and we dream of making our escape

Violet Hill: If you love me, won't you let me know ? Everglow: If you love someone, you should let them know

i recently came across Coleman Barks's (he is the narrator voice on Kaleidoscope) books on Rumi in a bookshop, btw :)

Did you get it ? :D

Really ? I never heard them on that part, only pre-recorded Chris !

The most disturbing prerecorded backing vocals in a live setting for me are the "every teardrop, every teardrop" vocals from Chris while live Chris at the same time sings "ooohoooo"

This is my biggest Coldplay dream ever !!

Thank you for joining us ! (oder soll ich sagen, Danke :P)

Cool ! :D

My ranking exactly !!!! Finally I met someone who sees the albums in the same order a I do !

Funny, that occurred to me too ! There are a lot of references to different song sthroughout AHFOD though.

Well AIMH is very forgettable but at least I know it in the meantime, while I still can't remember almost anything about Army Of One after many listens.

Oh, Ok. No problem :)

What was the rest, if one may ask ? :)

Talk is such a great song !! I wonder why it has not survived in Coldplay setlists.

Finally someone who doesn't like AIMH either ! I knew I was not the only one :D

X marks the spot !

Haha, same for me ! I still think its not nice but now i don't get scared anymore :D

I know Coldplay fans were confronted with it back then. How wrong this criticism was. Actually I really hate the fact that they were ridiculed so much in their early years because it put them under pressure to change their sound and was surely partially responsible for the fact that the band dislike X&Y so much and have changed their style to what it is today...

I was referring to the term in an ironic way. Trust me, I'd be the last person to call them that !!!

I would totally sign a petition like that !

Watching it makes me so sad. Why are they no longer like THAT ?

Yeah, the one from the MTV Live Leak is my favorite What If performance so far !

Yeah, Fly On was among my fav tracks from GS. It does have an Oldplay vibe in some way. Imho, the most Oldplay song of GS is Ghost Story, though.
