Me too. You'll have to try to figure that out I guess. I don't know how to check those numbers. Should still be huge!!!

The Pink Floyd Thread
Done it and it's not bullshit. I think you have to start the album right as the MGM lion roars the third time. Some of the lyrics fit the movie so well at times it is eerie. Still I think it's all coincidence. Try it sometime, it is fun :)

Radiohead break silence over new album
New Radiohead is wonderful news. The waiting begins....
-
4th album?
There will be another album. Not everyone was pleased by X&Y so you know the band will be ready to release another in a few years.
-
You know you have arrived when....
At first, the negative reviews were really bumming me out but now I see at is as a good thing as it will most likely inspire the band to make a fourth mind-blowing creation. There will be another album :)

Which "X&Y" song do you play the most....?
Square One, White Shadows, X&Y, Low, Twisted Logic. I cannot get enough of these most incredible tracks.

The Pink Floyd Thread
Whatever Socrates. You have your opinion and I have mine. To say that Pink Floyd is "awful" makes your musical taste suspect to say the least.

Twisted Logic
Is it just me, or does Chris Martin actually say 'It belongs to all of us'? That would seem to make sense, especially if 'it' was the Earth. P.S. Awesome song. I have it on repeat. :D It's just so full of emotion that... wow. Amazing climax to the album. *peels his t-shirt off of his solar plexus chakra* I hear "It belongs to all of us" as well. Love this song.

Message to the critics who say X&Y hasn't progessed...
I'm with you ItsTeeth. Coldplay have certainly progressed on this album. Square One, White Shadows, X&Y, Low, and Twisted Logic all are different than anything Coldplay has done before. I'm still in heaven over this record.

Coldplay Recent Media Articles (Updated 5/30, 11:00am ET)
Cool article thing. Love the quote about Nazi Germany by Chris. Bigger than superact U2? By Joshua Klein for RedEye Published June 7, 2005 Tell someone they're going to be King of the World, and it's inevitable that they'll start to act the part. Tell someone they're going to be the biggest pop star on earth, and you pave the way for even more grandiose behavior. When Coldplay hit the music world with "Parachutes," they were pegged the next Radiohead. But Radiohead bristled at being on top of the heap and took several creative left turns, so the pundits began to compare Coldplay to a more reliable superstar act: namely, U2. Hey, why not think big? The comparison was hardly unjustified, considering both bands feature shimmering guitar hooks, at turns bombastic and soaring anthems and an insufferable frontman who carries on like a gaze from his eyes could cure leprosy. The Bono-fronted U2 worked its way to the top and has always retained a sense of irony about its success. Coldplay, on the other hand, arrived eerily fully formed, as if groomed like heirs. Once lead singer Chris Martin landed a queen in Gwyneth Paltrow, his behavior as a rock 'n' roll royal only increased. Coldplay was predestined to become the Next Big Thing because, unlike the more risk-taking U2 or Radiohead, Coldplay accepted its coronation. A spate of recent interviews with Martin have found him halfheartedly frowning and furrowing his brow at the prospect of fame while in the next breath he not only embraces it but practically proclaims his band's top place in the pop world. If Martin trusted the tides of taste to flow his way, he would just keep mum and let fate play out. But Coldplay's so ambitious, so intent on domination, that nothing can be left to chance, and Martin's obviously feeling the rush of power possessed by one whose future has all but been predetermined to be preternaturally successful. Still under the age of 30 and wielding enough influence to affect the stock of a major music label (EMI took a Wall Street tumble when Coldplay's "X&Y" was delayed last year), Martin's more than ready for the big time. But is the world ready for his head to get even bigger? "Would it be really possible to start Nazi Germany if you'd just been listening to Bob Marley's 'Exodus' back to back for the past three weeks and getting stoned?" he asked in a widely circulated interview last week. "Would the idea of the Holocaust seem so appealing?" You want another Bono? Well, it looks like we're going to get one. --Joshua Klein is a RedEye special contributor.
