Famous Old Painter

The X&Y iTunes commercial was just an excerpt from the Speed Of Sound video, right? I hope that this isn't just the commercial, but a preview of the whole video! It's possible. Craps all over Violet Hill anyway.

I'm 95% sure Viva la Vida IS the next single. It would be stupid not to release a song which has charted so high! Anyway I recon that thing was the iTunes commercial though I hope to be wrong.

I'm not fond of either video. Well, I actually think they're great - BUT NOT FOR THE BANDS COMEBACK SINGLE! This is more 4th single video material.

EXACTLY! :D Wait for the record, the judge. It's only a few weeks away!

I swear I started the exact same thread late last week! But nevertheless, it has to be Cemeteries of London for me! It was my favourite title from the original list and the descriptions make it sound like it'll be quite the choon! Also quite looking forward to Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant and 42 of course.

You sure it wasn't Lost? - the b-side version? I'm pretty sure the album version will be different, according to descriptions it'll be MUCH bigger.

It just sinked in - there is only 1 MONTH before we finally hear the new album!

I was thinking exactly this! Cemeteries of London is the song I'm most looking forward to.

Anyone find the gatefold CD edition for pre-order in Australia, or at least somewhere which will ship cheaply to Austraila?

That part was amazing. I love how it builds up at the end though - it's my highlight of the album, aside from that appregio bit in Cemeteries of London. It rocks my socks off.

Bets off, how many seconds before this thread is deleted? Cheers for the link though.

Apparently Lost! will have a big organ and strings on it. I'm 100% sure the version we have right now is not the album version.

The intro is beautiful! I like how the whole thing just kinda flows together. Very uplifting. Hope it's the next single.

This is torture! So many people have heard it yet I wont get a chance! :veryangry2: pm?

Just noticed, there's Prospekts March/Poppy Fields and Postcards From Far Away/Chinese Sleep Chant. We know it's now Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant but what about Prospekts March/Poppy Fields? Another double track?

Ooops - I clicked submit once but nothing happened and I foolishly clicked it again! Does that mean I'm disqualified? No matter, doubt I'd be able to make it to Brixton anyway.

Ah yes I've just noticed, I kinda assumed it at 18+ for all. Well, that's excellent then!

EVERYONE has that edit, no-one has the album version yet - if it's any different. Nice observation though. ;)

Kinda along the lines of what I'm thinking. But what I think is - Violet Hill as download only + ltd edition single (done) - Viva la Vida as physical single (CD and 7") at the end of the month or at least before the album with a few b-sides - 42 a month or two later on CD and 7" with more b-sides - Independently released single with b-sides + Bonus other songs given away in certain promotions (like NME vinyl and iTunes bonus tracks) I could be wrong though

Just 1 year off of being able to enter! :embarassed:

Goodbye! ;)

low76 - I respect your opinion about Coldplay's new direction. Each person is allowed to think for themselves and I have no problem whatsoever with what you think of the song. What I do have a problem with is how you choose to express it. Granted you don't like them anymore, but this is a COLDPLAY message board for FANS of Coldplay and we wish to continue discussing thier new direction in peace. So in the kindest way possible, you've made your point - now fuck off.

Maybe. This thread is making me very scared. My personal opinion is either bonus disc or a shitload of b-sides. I might be wrong though. EDIT - Hey, remember Prospekt saying "at least two top-division songs will be released independantly"? Then MAYBE we'll get a few non-album singles too (it's not uncommon)

Cheers! :dance: I'm going to have a look now

Thought it was Lost! Apparently it was "drastically reinvented" in the final stages which included replacing the beat
