why do people keep on saying that there will be an album in the next year? no-one has from the band has ever even hinted at something like that. true they do say that they've got enough songs FOR a new album, but never whe they would start recording, let alone a release....and dont worry about Coldplay splitting up, dont you remember Chris claiming that arobtth was going to be their last album? there will probably be a similar gap between x&y and the new reord, so maybe early to mid 08 they will be back in the limelight
