At this stage I'm fairly certain all the new songs apart from Princess Of China will be on the record. As with POC, it's hard to tell but it does seem odd they're not playing that song as often as the other ones.

I still love High Violet as much as I did the first time I listened to it. I thought it was the perfect record and my opinion hasn't changed. Looking at my top 10 list over again though is fairly sad for the most part. I haven't listened to most of those albums in ages, and don't want to.

April :nod:

I've read a lot of people saying this information is bullshit because The Oracle has said they haven't finished working on the album yet. This reminds me of when Bloc Party claimed they were still hard at work on their third album and it wouldn't be released until the end of the year. A week later they dropped Intimacy, for download off their website. They've then admitted in several interviews since that they intentionally "lied through their teeth" in order to mislead the fans. I'm not saying that's what's going to happen here. It most probably wont. But I'm saying we shouldn't rule it out completely as a possibility.

Sorry I but I just couldn't let this go, literally everything is wrong with this post.

I was a bit of a Vines fan back in the day, but they've progressed so little musically since then. I don't even bother with the newer records.

I love both Foals records, but they are both completely blown away by their live show imo. One of the best I'd ever seen.

I love Just Human [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRhTZ1tzNVE]YouTube - ‪Carpark North - Just Human‬‏[/ame] Have yet to check out their other tracks though. Should probably get on that.

In no real order, though I prefer the first five choices to the second five God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Murder Politik Cemeteries Of London Animals Square One Violet Hill Daylight Talk White Shadows Spies Clocks Brothers And Sisters Chinese Sleep Chant A Message You can probably tell that the darker side of Coldplay is the style I prefer.

Charlie Brown, and Major Minus as a close second. Princess Of China sounds promising but I can't judge it due to a lack of good quality recordings of it.

Yeah, no-one else is doing it so I wont.

Misleading thread title alert. Five new live recordings is not "the rest of the album". Well I really hope not anyway. That would be a new low for Coldplay.

Voted yes. Not because I know it will be but because I would like it to be. It's a better title than anything else people have come up with recently.

Er... who's stolen my username? :thinking:

The fact that most of the threads in the ETIAW subforum are critical of the song says a lot, and that there's a 41 page thread on a Coldplay forum discussing how bad it is. And it's not just here, every message board I've been onto discussing the new song has very few positive things to say about it, and it's currently got an average rating of 2.43 on RYM - their lowest score ever. There is a lot of criticism going around about this song, much more than usual. But I get your point. The mindless sheep of the world will no doubt flock to this song and give it a high chart position for several weeks on end.

I still love AROBTTH and all it's b-sides. And as strange as it may sound, I love X&Y too. Never understood the hate for it at all. I love about half of Viva la Vida and found the other half to be rather meh. I'm hoping LP5 will contain at least one amazing or worthwhile track.

I've gotta say, watching these events over the last few days has been amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a fanbase react so unfavorably towards a new release before. The backlash against Coldplay in the last day or so has been incredible... you know a song is bad when even the die-hard fans refuse to accept it. Even Debs got quite upset about it. I wonder if the band themselves have any idea what's going on. Food for thought. I'm not a fan of the song either, it's probably my least favorite Coldplay song ever. But just watching so many people get offended by it is... well it's entertaining viewing to say the least.

Well not to burst your bubble but [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4spkVX8z-vs]YouTube - ‪Only in Dreams By: Weezer‬‏[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nKNhNifp6M]YouTube - ‪Weezer ft. Lil Wayne - Can't Stop Partying [Video With Lyrics]‬‏[/ame]

The new live songs sound alright. Just alright. I'll need to hear studio versions before I pass judgement.

Friday is so bad it's hilarious. Waterfall is so bad it's depressing. I'd much rather laugh.

That's a very good point.

Well you can't polish a turd.

So Debs has seen our reaction to the song. She's pretty shocked and upset about it. Still, can't fight the opinions of the masses. What we think doesn't matter anyway. It'll still sell by the bucketload.
