Famous Old Painter

Although it's not unprecedented, it's rare a major label will release a studio album of new original material in November or December. That period tends to be reserved for best-of's and the like. So the latest for a 2015 release would be the end of October. But assuming this will be a traditional release I doubt that'd be likely, as they would've had to have announced it all a least a month ago in order to get the promo happening and the distribution sorted in time. I'd put my money on a Q1 2016 release. Unless they do a surprise online release, at which point there are no rules and all bets are off.

I like this about it too. I wonder if they'd shot another video for ASFoS before this and scrapped it, like they did with Paradise. That'd explain why it took so long for the video to get made after the single release and why it came out so quickly after the filming.

It's a dark video about an urban dystopia where everyone is on their fucking phone! ...Types FOP from his phone

I do hope you're joking

Not only was Midnight a single, but it's the only single so far that's received a physical release (7" vinyl)

I really wish they'd done more in this direction.

Round 1: Life In Technicolor ii vs. Always In My Head Round 2: Postcards From Far Away vs. Magic Round 3: Glass Of Water vs. Ink Round 4: Rainy Day vs. True Love Round 5: Prospekt's March vs. Midnight Round 6: Poppyfields vs. Another's Arms Round 7: Lost+ vs. Oceans Round 8: Lovers In Japan-Osaka Sun Mix vs. A Sky Full Of Stars Round 9: Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground vs. O GS - 5 PM - 4 That was closer than anticipated

It's their lowest rated on RYM as well. I thought it would be rated higher than MX at least :( https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/coldplay

It's Liam Gallagher singing but yeah, I can't stand Oasis outside a couple of songs.

I made myself an edit where it starts with the O hidden track and then transitions into this. It lasts about 3 minutes and it's utter bliss.

Just set it to record. I never watch Channel 7 but I'll make an exception for this

Round 1: AIMH Round 2: Magic Round 3: Charlie Brown Round 4: True Love Round 5: Midnight Round 6: Another's Arms Round 7: Oceans Round 8: Don't Let It Break Your Heart Round 9: O GS wins

The 2:23 is silence. I'm not losing sleep over 2:23 of silence.

I'm curious to see what the overall consensus will be. I think it's widely agreed that GS is better than MX, but will it be seen as better than X&Y?

I listened to Never Gonna Give You Up last night and realized... it's been 5 years since I last heard it. When he sung "never gonna make you cry" I did legitimately shed a tear.

It's odd for sure, but it's fair to assume MX is to blame for that.

Apparently Target started shipping copies today. So it should be soon, hopefully.

Schweet. Hopefully the bonus tracks will surface soon

I'm torn on this one. Four songs are fucking incredible (which is more than I can say for MX), four songs I'm indifferent towards and one I don't like at all. It's certainly an improvement over MX but it doesn't come close to the brilliance of the first two records or Viva.
