Exactly! I´ve heard albun leaks of coldplay in the last 10 years and I´ve bought every LP, EP or Single they had released. The point is that, exactly, we are very excited to hear new music from them :)

I see in social media lot of messages about people who doesnt want the new album to be leaked and I dont understand why. Nobody forces you to listen the new album before de 15th, but what is the problem to other people listening it? And what is the difference with people who has now the CD and can listen the new album before all of us? I assume that all of us will buy the new album, even if we got the mp3 files earlier. But if we can listen the album the 11 or 12 better than the 15th, isnt it?

Its strange that the album hasnt leaked yet. Specially when we know that some people have it xD I dont understand if this is ironic or not. I think some people critize the album because the change in the sound and type of music over the time in coldplay. My Universe, for example, its very very different from other colplay songs.

I understand the policy of the forum, although nowadays it is something unavoidable. And if the album has been obtained legally it is not something so "dirty", in the end everyone here is going to buy the album, maybe even several versions of it, so I don't think it affects Coldplay or their sales much. I will only say that tomorrow I have something very important and I am very nervous, so if someone with information could send it to me privately I would greatly appreciate it ... and I will not say more :)

This planet has a satellite. Maybe that means that this song will have a hidden track?

Hi! I´ve ordered both singles edition the day they came out. I recived an e-mail the past week, in wednesday and other in friday telling me that they have send the two singles (they were bought separately). I have not recived neither of the singles yet, two weeks before the release of them... Its something quite strange, because this monday I recived another e-mail as I just bought another single of My Universe, but the coldplaystore only shows the two orders I did. So, I dont know how this web works...

I thinkt that they have show all the collaborations of this album. Let Somebody Go will be single, its clear. But I suposse that we will have at leats a 4 singles in this album, so maybe People of the Pride (which have other target different) could be. Some singles are released before the LP.

Me too!! I think it has a good reception in the fandom, as Coloratura.

One question with this, what time, normally, do you recive the products that are in pre order in coldplay store?

I think nobody has been surprised by this xD

As the previous LP, I will download it to listen as soon as possible (despite the criticism there is always a lot of hype with new albums jejeje) and the 15 October I will buy a CD in a local store. If I like the album I will buy some extra merchandasing, I´m still waiting to the My Universe singles to arrive at home jeje

This is funny because the sound of the last 10 years are very similar. The sound and the structure itself, with chorus in all songs... Chris also said after AHFOD that they wouldnt do more conventional albums and now we get this LP full of collaborations and radio-pop singles, so... xD I wrote yesterday a post but is again "hidden". I dont know why xD I´m not going to write twice the same, is true that Coldplay now likes (specially Chris) to make pop music. Ok, they can do whatever they want or like, is fantastic. But we have also the freedom to say if what they do is "good" or not, or if we like it. Personally I think that Coldplay has choosen the wrong direction, and as who someone who likes them and their music I want to say that.

They cant sound exactly as in their first albums, thats make sense. But They can choose to make music that looks like an evolution from their old jobs. One good example is People of the Pride, that show us how can they sound if they wanted, with a more rock sound. Maybe the point is that they (and I think Chris and Will specially) love make pop music. Its correct, and obviously they are free to make the music that they feel or like, but that cant meaning zero critics and always clap what they do (Im talking in general). I (we) know what they can do, and I think that we have to demand Coldplay to make music at this level, not conform with everything they do. Its true that in all LP we have very special material, but it seems like we have always to conform to only 1-2-3 songs in a LP, and normally in their concerts this type of songs are out or background. I´m thinking now in the Kaleidoscope EP, where 4 of the 5 songs were very good, but what is the material that the band promotes and play live? Even in the Tokyo Live on the AHFOD tour they didnt put All I Can Think About Is You, when this was the live debut of that song. I know that this opinion is very minoruty, but is what I feel.

Well, I dont agrre with the general possitive point of view I´ve read here from the new album. I think that as fans we should be more ¿fussy/exigent? with the band. There is a road from Viva la Vida/MX to pop music that I think is not good for Coldplay. Sometimes I have the feeling that they go to easy, to some very simple formulas that they (and the record company) know it works. And, Why? EL show us that they can make some "not mainstream music" and still get the nº1 in charts. Songs like Arabesque or Coloratura in this new album has had very good reception. They did it earlier with GS and sons like Midnight. So, why they insist (and I think is specially Chris) to make songs like My Universe or High Power that musically dont contribute anything, is electropop music, very empty. Just listen the instrumental versions of this songs... Is only to get nº1 in charts? They dont need that, they can shell lot of albums and singles without this pop formula. And its awful to see that the Coldplay discography is filling up with that type of songs like SJLT, Orphans, My Universe, Hym for the Weekend... that are very far from what more of us "understand" what is a "coldplay song". Sorry for my poor english, in spanish I could explaning best. The point is that I dont like this pop sound that Coldplay have since many years. I dont know if Im the only one here thinking that... The could do that with the Los Unidades name instead of Coldplay, and let Coldplay for their less mainstrain songs or not pop.

Buff I´m afraid

Yes, but normally the groups send as a gift the new albums to radios, magazines or music critics.

Do you know if the new album has been leaked? Normally 1-2 weeks before the release the album is on internet...

Where did you read that Humankind and Infinity would be rock songs? Like People of the pride?

Totally agree ?

Still waiting the CDs singles to come... ?

I dont think they will re-do some LP, and I think they shouldnt. Each LP shows a part of his carreer and life. Only maybe a few tracks of XY could need some reproduction or re-do like White Shadows, which I love but it sounds very repetitive. But I dont think they would do that. Also, with they excesive pop influence it could be awful... What is more probably and fix better is to do a special edition, maybe with some remastering, with a secind CD with B-sides and extra material of this eras. Lot of grooups and artist do that. Is sad that for Parachutes they didnt do anything special. Only the yellow vinyl.

Has someone a audio copy of their live debut? ?

Hi! Have you recived the CD sigles? Ihavent recived mines yet. I´m a little dissapointed (with High Power was the same) becasue I think that if you have ordered something in preorder, they should recive it tha day of it comes out to sale... In the other hand, I think they should include some extra songs in the C D singles as in the past. The instrumental or acoustic versions don´t "contribute" very much to music. Maybe in other type of songs, but with this electronic songs it doesnt make sense. In fact the vocals are the same as someone said. About the remix I prefer not so said nothing xD

They can play Arabesque with samples ¿loopers? and keyboards as in Viva la Vida, for example. But I sadly think Chris doesnt like very much that song cause it has low vocals... Trouble in Town matchs good with Violet Hill or People of the Pride...

During the AHFOD tour they play part of the GS, so its possible than in the next tour they will play some of the EL songs. I think I read in an interview that chris said they will not play Orphans in the future (personally I dont like that song...), but I dont remember that he said something about the whole album. I think songs like Arabesque, Champion of the World or Trouble in Town could fit perfectly in a stadium with other newones from MOTS.
