Well said.

This is my favorite song on the new album and I'm happy it will be the next single. I don't know what all the hype is about for Yes, I think that is the weakest track on the album (sans Chinese Sleep Chant, which is awesome)

Square One vs. Life in Technicolor: Square One What If vs. Cemeteries of London: Cemeteries of London White Shadows vs. Lost!: White Shadows (close one) Fix You vs. 42: Fix You Talk vs. Lovers in Japan: Talk (another close one) X&Y vs. Reign of Love: X&Y Speed of Sound vs. Yes: Speed of Sound A Message vs. Chinese Sleep Chant: A Message Low vs. Viva la Vida: Viva La Vida (how can this one be close?) The Hardest Part vs. Violet Hill: Violet Hill Swallowed in the Sea vs. Strawberry Swing: Strawberry Swing Twisted Logic vs. Death and All His Friends: Death 'til Kingdom Come vs. The Escapist: 'til Kingdom Come

Awesome interview.

My favorite song on the album (maybe tied with Cemetaries). I really dig not only the pace of the song, but the constantly-changing sounds of guitar and keyboard in the background, especially in the second half of the song. It really brings a happy mood to this part of the album.

The solo at the end is icing on the cake... amazing tune.

I love this track. I don't really see what people like so much about Yes, it makes me feel uninspired. I love that Chinese Sleep Chant that follows, though - that is a killer ending to the track.

Thanks! Good summary...

I am convinced it is a plot by the band... distribute early copies of the album that have all but track #1 in album quality. This way, even those that own the leaked version will feel the need to buy the whole album.

Could anybody kindly help me out by sending me a PM with a link to a clear, album version of LiT? Thanks! This album is amazing.

Great stuff so far...

Excellent find. Thank you!

Amazing tune. They really did it this time.

Thank you, LiT!

Great preview. I like, "if you like "Violet Hill," well, then you're gonna love the album. If you hate it, well, you'll still probably love the album. " This is very exciting to hear.

I think that the big news will be the release of an EP or more than one EP to accompany the new album.

I love how the new one lacks any repetition, something that makes the unreleased Talk sound more like a B-side. I'm happy with the finished product of this song, and it's nice that we have 2 versions of a great song anyhow. Edge goes to: X & Y version.

Much love for Square One. The PERFECT opening track.

This is a great track- quite a nice treat considering I never heard it played live before. This and "The Hardest Part" are current favs.

If anyone wouldn't mind, I would love to have this too! [email protected] Thank you thank you!

I liked how there were signs all over that said no cameras or recordings of any kind, then after a certain song Chris asked the crowd to take a picture or if they brought their cameras- apparently he forgot what the band requested. Everyone was like "Nooooooo!"

Just got back from the show as well... what a show! Nice opener with Square One- got to hear Warning Sign and The Scientist tonight- very nice. Clocks got an extended outro- I was sure that Chris would lead the band into yet another final jam (it was quite the tease at the end!) He was going apeshit on the keys at the end there. Don't Panic was a treat- they said they hadn't played it in a while... the funny thing was after one chorus, Chris stopped playing- got up from the keyboard- looked at everyone else in the band and said, "Should we finish it?" The crowd, including me, yelled YEAH!!! And they finished it, minus the nice solo (we only got a tease of that and the song finished). Got to hear a couple of tracks from the new album for the first time... Low was a nice rock jam, will have to decide how I feel about that once X & Y comes out- Fix You they closed the encore with- quite a tune. A Message was a nice first song encore. Enough of my rambling- loved the show- the Fillmore's a nice little place, must have been no more than 1000 people there. G'nite!

Thanks a bunch!

Loving this song. It's got a great riff to it, and I've had it on repeat for the last 20 minutes.
