I think you're so cool, too, Chris!

So where can I watch the whole thing?

Just got your email or just got your cd?

Did anyone else get an email saying their holographic stickers may arrive separately from your CD and/or Vinyl?

It could be heavily autotuned haha

Darn....well can you just manually add 312 to my account? :p Jk

I still have the text notification I got....here it is!!

I know it's been said, but can we get our thumbs up back?

Got it as well!....wish I would have taken a screen shot of the notification!

Will this be available on their facebook later? Im in class. I knew I should have taken the day off to keep up with all this :p

Do you think the colored ones only came with the preorder?

I thought the same thing! Now it's my favorite song off the album! 2500th post!! :D

Yeah it is kind of a disappointing follow-up to those two incredible songs

Cool!

Cool article! Although they failed to mention MX and GS...

^ What a terrible review!!

I thought I'd save my review until I had heard the official version of the album, so here goes. These were some notes I jotted down while listening to the album at 12:30 in the morning, so please forgive me if they are a little choppy AHFOD: Drums are spectacular. Great concert opener. Great work by Jonny and Guy. Really makes me wanna dance. Great singalong Birds: Cool gapless transition between AHFOD and this. Upbeat song. Easily the best song on the album. In fact, it's one of the best things the band has done post-X&Y. Guitar reminds me of HLH. Beautiful lyrics and message. For some reason, this song makes me feel like getting in an airplane and flying somewhere! Peaceful. The only negative thing is that abrupt ending HFTW: Obviously written with the music video in mind. I think Chris can write better lyrics than "I feel so drunk and high" I know he means he's drunk and high on life and love, but still. This just isn't my type.of song. Instrumentation is good, if not a little messy. Everglow: A nice piano ballad, but I think it's easily forgettable. It's no Fix You...maybe because it never explodes into that incredible ending. It is a really sweet song. AOAL: Another song with a great instrumental track. I already posted a big review back when this song came out, so I'm not going to rewrite that. Just know I like the song Fun: Another highlight of the album. It has a nice peaceful vibe to it, and I think it represents some kind of closure in Chris' relationship with Gwyneth. It is a collaboration done right. Tove Lo has a beautiful voice, and her parts are kept mainly in the background so they are not to overpowering....good choice! Kaleidoscope: A nice idea by Chris, but really just a filler. This will most likely be a song I skip every time it comes on. How many times can I listen to the same poem being recited? Army of One: At first, I didnt like this song, but it has really grown on me. It has a really powerful sound. It makes me feel like I can do anything! The background voices dont really bother me anymore. XMTS: As a song, it's good. Nice beat and everything and an interesting idea by Chris. As a Coldplay song, not so good. I dont listen to songs like Hotline Bling, and this song reminds me of that. Amazing Day: In my book at least, this song will go down as one of the greats. I thought all the live versions were great, but the album version blows them all out of the water by a long shot! It serves its purpose as a nice, calming song after Army of One and XMTS Color Spectrum: Kinda weird hearing all the oh-ahs amd woohoos floating along. MX instrumentals were better. But I have a question....did they use part of this song at the beginning of AHFOD (the song) or is this song an extended version of the beginning of AHFOD....? Up&Up: The piano is nonexistent. Overall, it's just a chilled version of the live version....then again, what Coldplay song isn't? I like the choir part in this song. Those guitar solos....wow! As always, Coldplay knows how to end an album, and I think this is the perfect closer. So now my ratings: (I am rating the songs by comparing them to each other, not Coldplay's entire discography) AHFOD: 9.5 Birds: 10 HFTW: 4 Everglow: 6 AOAL: 7 Fun: 9 Kaleidoscope: 4 Army of One: 8 XMTS: 3 Amazing Day: 9.5 Color Spectrum: 3 Up&Up: 7 Overall as an album (in comparison to other Coldplay albums) 7

^^ Thats how I feel about Chinese Sleep Chant

Yeah, but it gave me links to 2 different mail carriers

Oh so sorry, I meant to say Always in my Head....I knew what you meant. I edited it now. This is what happens when I try to think at midnight :p
