The Adversary

I wouldn't say there are Coldplay songs I "hate" so to speak, Just ones I don't have much interest in listening to. Princess of China is one. It just doesn't appeal to me in any way. The synths sound like they were produced on Windows 97 and Rihanna :cry: It's not that I detest the song musically, it's just that it signifies everything about the pop direction Coldplay has taken in the last few albums and that saddens me. Another one is True Love. Jonny's guitar solo is good but it's completely ruined by unnecessary synth sounds. The lyrics while personal to Chris, are a complete deviation to what we got before on previous records. The music video is also completely ridiculous and I believe this is where the majority of my ire for the song comes from. Very superficial, lazy and clearly marketed towards teenagers. You would never had such a video during ANY of the other eras.

If you notice High Speed from Parachutes has the same bass line :)

The space in which we're traveling

Don't Panic. Such a beautiful song with such a simple message.

"Stadium filling" is quite vague though, That could mean anything from AROBTTH, VLVODAAH or Mylo Xyloto. (Or most likely something completely new, unique and fresh)

I felt with the 9 tracks on GS, it was like you turned it on and then it was over. All your Friends, Ghost Story, and O (reprise) would really have benefited the album as a whole if they were on the standard version. I hope for 10 or 11 tracks at the VERY least :\

This is good news. Don't know how I feel about "Deluxe Editions" 9 tracks is pretty short. Just put the 11 or 12 songs on it and call it an album! :confused:

Please God, No :(

In control

More Solos. If it's not jazz, I won't like it :jonny:

A Rush Of Blood To Your F**king Nose (Feat Liam Gallagher)

The moment of pure joy when a Coldplay song randomly comes on the radio.

Unnecessary Use Of The Brain (Feat Noel Gallagher)

All Around The World - Oasis What's your fondest memory of being a teenager?

I Ran Away - Coldplay What would you do if you saw Chris on the street?

The second single will have a highly unique name out of left field. It will be called "You guys wanted another AROBTTH? You can't have it! ft One Direction" :laugh3:

It will be called "Generic Pop Song ft Arianna Grande" :bigcry::awesome:

As for songs that didn't make the cut "Sex and Violence" does intrigue me a bit :wink3:

Sorry if this sounds completely ignorant, but can someone explain what ASCAP is? Just a database for songs? and why would songs be registered there before release? :confused:

Hey Gai, Stop ruining it for me! :laugh3: I really want that European arena tour to become reality :lol:

I'm starting to think this anon may actually be the real deal, If he/she was nothing but a troll who got extremely lucky why would they say there will be a single within the next two-three weeks? If this is false they'll be immediately outed as a fraud. I'm getting more excited by the day and hopefully this anon is legitimate.

Moses and Crest of Waves.

I'll pick A, purely because it had such a profound effect on you. A: "It could be worse, I could be alone, I could be locked in here on my own" B: "I think I want to change my air, My atmosphere, I wanna recharge"

All I Need - Radiohead What do you expect from AHFOD?

Very exciting time for us Coldplayers indeed, haven't been this excited for an album release since VLVODAAHF. I would absolutely love for them to drop the album out of nowhere. Now that would be an interesting night :lol: But for now, full steam ahead for the first single! As for what the single might entail, I expect a loud and anthemic rock tune that will be indicative of the rest of the album. Although the first single usually does tend to be bold, perhaps they might give us something completely down tempo to throw us off :sneaky: I'll also be very interested in seeing how the production goes.
