Famous Old Painter

Chris probably was going through a breakup when he wrote AROBTTH. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Gwenyth though. I'd always thought the lyrical content of Up In Flames was odd coming from a happily married man. Maybe this is why.

Here's a thought, have we heard anything about the Japanese edition? They're usually released earlier and have bonus tracks.

Parachutes - Spies, although Yellow holds the most sentimental value. AROBBTH - All of them, but when pressed... Politik X&Y - X&Y or Twisted Logic Viva - Cemeteries Of London MX - Up With The Birds is the only song I really like

Parachutes - High Speed. Too blatant a Radiohead ripoff AROBBTH - A Whisper. I love it, but I had to pick one X&Y - Fix You annoys me, honestly. People seem to vote for X&Y and Twisted Logic a lot but honestly they're my 2 favourite songs from it. Viva - Lost MX - Princess Of China of course GS - Haven't heard the whole thing but it's difficult to imagine anything worse than ASFoS

There have been so many bands in history who have sworn to stay together and then had lineup changes. It would depend on the circumstances really. I don't get the feeling that'll happen to Coldplay anytime soon.

Was it really like this? I'd left the board around the MX era.

Or maybe they're wanting to remain on good terms for the sake of the kids.

I remember Viva didn't leak until just days before the Japan edition was due out.

My drink just went through my nose

Ooh! A challenge!

I can't wait for his next ASFoS thread. Each opinion has been more thrilling than the last.

The fact it's titled O (Reprise) is interesting, given O in itself is a reprise of Always In My Head.

Yeah, STOPS it you guys!

It's surprising nothing's shown up yet. Either it didn't actually leak, or the users of that site are VERY good at keeping things to themselves.

Who's said it's real?

I wouldn't expect it in the next half hour. We don't even know for sure if GS is even on that site. Nevertheless, I'm Australian so I'm happy to stay awake and watch whatever happens unfold. :P

Pretty much. If it's even there.

Here's all I know at the moment 1. My source told me GS has leaked on a certain site and then ran off. They went into no further detail. They could've been telling the truth, they could've been taking the piss. Who knows. Apparently the news has spread to other sites, but that could just be speculation feeding on itself. 2. The site in question is very exclusive and no Coldplayers to my knowledge have managed to access it. Hopefully that should answer any questions you may have.

Whoops. Ok, in my sleep deprived state I assumed you were talking about the guy who initially told me the album was on that site. I've heard nothing further from him. I have pm'd some Coldplayers further details but from what I know no-one's been able to log into the site in question so far.

Nothing so far, sadly. Edit - Whoops, thought you were quoting my post. I need to wake up properly. I have pm'd people who've wanted to investigate.

Sadly I don't have access to the site in question so I can't check if it's real or not. Just gotta wait and see at this stage.

Apparently GS has leaked on a certain file-sharing site (wont say which) but I've got nothing to go off apart from the word of someone else so it could just be a hoax. We'll find out in the next couple of hours I suppose.

Aww... This thread was moved :(

I agree with everything you just said.

Seconded.
