Famous Old Painter

I hope so!

Fuuuuuuuck. I want it but I'm broke! :\ Buuut - all news is good news! And the artwork looks swish. I knew Coldplay wouldn't let me down on this one! I didn't read through all 12 pages but has it been said that there will be a download without the b-side of Violet Hill, and it's probably not the first proper single? The first proper single will probably be 42 and will be released on CD, Download and 7" and will be chart eligable.

Fingers crossed!

And just half a week after mine! :dance: Though it is the first week back at school so I'm not entirely looking foward to it. But hey, it's Coldplay!

So I take it you like Elbow yes?

Nice work, not bad!

Good night! ;) So at the moment we're unsure if it's someone taking the piss or legit at the moment, I guess the only way to know for sure is to wait for the official announcement.

I dont really mind anymore, I'm addicted to coldplaying.com messageboards now. Dont need an official one to distract me. I think the reason the official one got shut down was because of the spam levels dominating the boards.

I dont believe for a second that it's real, but it's still a very nice piece of art.

You saying you want fast cars, lots of bling and booty girls? :laugh3: I would have to kill myself if they made a serious clip like that.

OK it's too early to tell what the music videos will be like for songs off this album seeing as we havent heard it yet (which is making me a little too excited and impatient). I couldn't find the appropriate thread to post this in though so we may have to just go on song titles and descriptions or something. Though I have noticed that the music vids for the last 3 albums have all had a theme, but with VLV being a brand new direction it may not follow that anymore. My observation, the 1st single always seems to be a performance vid where the band are playing in a room somewhere. Shiver - Performing in a room with things lying everywhere In My Place - Performing in an empty room Speed Of Sound - Performing in a dark room with a big light board behind them Violet Hill - ? The second single seems to have Chris walking around slowly somewhere Yellow - on the beach The Scientist - backwards Fix You - down a city street, and a concert at the end The third single seems to have a less obvious theme, that they're all very dark in colour Trouble (UK Version) - Chris tied up in a dark parking lot at night Clocks - Performing in a dark room with the only light around the band Talk - In the deep dark depths of space And the fourth and last single always seems to be something a little more dangerous, arty, freaky and even a little disturbing Dont Panic - The band as 2D cutouts, pretty freaky GPASUYF - A man slowly and painfully vanishes from the face of the earth. Pretty freaky. The Hardest Part - A pretty much naked man does a dance routine with an 80 year old woman. Doesn't get much freakier than that! Or does it?

Looks amazing Semy! Could you do any others?

I'm suffering overwhelming impatience. Every morning I wake up thinking "Today's gonna be the day!" And it never is :\

Not soon enough! Sorry, my birthday's at the end of the week and that feels like it'll take an eternety to come. Though the day after it is the first day back at school from the holidays so it's pretty bittersweet.

Don't think it would've worked anyway.

That's what I'm thinking, let's hope we're right!

Download only? What? :angry: Please tell me this means Violet Hill will be released to download in three weeks and the CD formats a few weeks later a la most first singles off album nowadays and not what I think it means. But still, 42 as first real single is still a possibility. Edit - the more I think of it, the more plausible it seems. Violet Hill as a download-only preview on May 5, then they've got a month to promote 42 or whatever the 1st single may be so they can release it physically a month later, 1 or 2 weeks before the album comes out.

It shouldn't really matter if they're making it up - it cant be that different to the song itself. Fake or not, it's gotten us all excited in which times like this can only be a good thing.

Aaaaaaaagh! This thread is torturing me! I want to hear it noooooooooow!

Good luck!

Young Knives Gerling Coldplay Exit Decades The Bravery

The fact that this thread is only 2 pages long after 17-04-2008 indicates either 1. Coldplay fans are ignorant or 2. Fake Maybe Coldplay have gone in a very different direction for the new album?

If it's out early next month then we should hear the song and see the video VERY VERY soon now.

But is it Officially Official Official? :laugh3: Notice when you see 1 word long enough it begins to lose all meaning and just becomes a jumble of shapes? Officially of course. ;)

Fake Plastic Trees I love it but out of the above it's my least fav. This is hard!
