holy crap... I've been following this thread all night... and, you guys start talking about Pink Floyd.. and everything is good? :lol: :lol: :lol: you guys are hillarious!!

I probably wouldn't blame you if you'd run up and kicked an old lady for it... I get kinda nuts when it comes to rare Coldplay stuff.. especially when it's free! ( :rolleyes: ok, maybe not the kicking the old lady bit... but, you get the point)

I've got Virginia Beach.. but Boston is a heck of a lot closer... sooo *fingers crossed but, I can't figure out how it's working... my account on the site wouldn't let me in, so I set up a new one... but, am I now waiting for another email saying "congrats"?

good kid! :lol:

ooh.. hehe.. i was just about to run down and bug 'em for another ;) :P

huh.. in mine they're all standing with the light blue background... different promotional posters? that's odd...

very sweet :cool:

but that's her opinion... wtf are msg boards for then? :wink3: :smug:

gah.. this is the same as before.. i'm sitting here waiting for an email... pins and needles, my friends... pins and needles... :rolleyes: :lol:

what's it look like?

I actually think they're hellsadumb... but, they definitly did make something that lots of people will want to get their hands on... all I can do is wonder if the album looks completely different or is in a different case or... :stunned: should be interesting!

yuppers those record execs... very very sneeky... ;) :P

nada on the ebay option.. ... yet :sneaky:

.. not sure :huh: you should check.. it's not an incredible poster... but, it's a free *coldplay* poster... which, by default.. makes it incredible :D

"The band’s record label have been secretive about sending the album out prior to release. Promo copies of the album were sent to journalists under the pseudonym The Fir Trees." - NME.com

I thought this was really interesting... And, while I'm not a fanatical collector.. I looove rare stuff :D Is there anyone out there who knows more about these "pseudonym" cds?

but.. even if there is... you might not like it like you're not crazy about this one.. :dozey:

rare stuff is fantastic :cool:

:o ya right! did they email this to you?

no problem... just move to Canada :D

oops... I almost forgot! (like that'd be possible) I also asked about a huuuuge poster promoting the band/X&Y they had up in the window... it's sooo mine when it comes down.. just a thought for other fans with music stores that hand out posters after the album comes out :)

I'm not sure if any other music stores are doing this, but I pre-ordered my X&Y at HMV today... and got a beautiful poster as a bonus! and, if you're going to buy it anyways... right? I figured I'd share the lovins ;)

ooorr... why Japan gets early release?

Although.. I think we can all agree.. even if this album doesn't compare to Parachutes... it's still the best CD release that anyone has seen since AROBTTH! :cool: and also, I think your missing the point.. it's not that XY isn't as good as former albums ... it's just *not* parachutes... it's like comparing apples and oranges... both fruits - but different and fantastic for different reasons... make any sense? :confused:
