Bit out of my league here, but anyone up for racing to 2000? :p (1000 POSTS! :dance: )

And you're approaching 20,000, which is alot more impressive ;) 1000 is a nice round number though. So yes, back to being bored :rolleyes:

Love the tree. Happy christmas & new year to you too. :santa:

Haha, I know what you mean, I got used to it too, but its not so bad for me seeing that making music keeps me busy. Thats until my soundcard fried a few hours ago after trying to record something from an amp. So yeah now I'm bored too :p

So true about the live version, its even better than the studio version, and the same with AROBTTH ofcourse. Hopefully they'll realise this time around that those extra solos in some of their live stuff make the song that little bit more special. But anyway, I havn't heard this other version of spies, but from what I'm hearing I would probably prefer the album version, seeing as I tend to like their atmospheric stuff anyway.

Swallowed In The Sea (by a fraction) Crest of Waves Vs Square One

Did anyone else get this email about remixes of the songs from the Eraser? I think its pretty cool :) And happy Christmas to you Thom :P

Ah Double post sorry.

I havnt been caught up in all the hype surrounding it, but it does look intruiging.

:laugh3: I figured if there was anyone who were to stop me, it would be me:P I'm quite persuasive you know! Yeah i know I am! Am I talking to myself? Yep! :thinking: :wacko:

Its a nice cover, but judging by the fact that anyone with some artistc talent and some experience with Photoshop can knock out something like this in a couple of hours, I would say its fake. If im feeling evil, I might do one myself and pass it off as a leak :sneaky: But since I just exposed myself before the crime, I guess i'll give it a miss :lol:

Someone was talking about Blackfield earlier in the thread (Steve Wilson's side project) , I like them, but i think Porcupine Tree are better. I dont know, it just seems like someone else is writing the lyrics, and Wilson is singing it for them - although i do like quite alot of their songs.

Thanks! :) Might draw the globe on Parachutes, next :P

Not sure if I've already posted this one, but I thought i'd share it with you guys ;) (There's writing there because its for my Multimedia course I'm doing atm.) [ATTACH]24638[/ATTACH] Most of the recent pictures on here recently are awesome btw :)

Oh my God I got a sudden instinct to look on coldplay.com and there it was! Its no release date, but these messages just keep getting more exciting, I think its because theyre talking about particular songs now and how they sound... And Prospect's March? What could that possibly mean? So much to think about... oh my goodness

Haha awesome thread! :rolleyes:

Yes well great minds think alike I suppose ;), we have agreed on quite alot of things. The delay of LP4 in particular :laugh3: Although i think it shows that unlike other fans who are obsessed with the band members more than anything else, we tend to care more about the quality of the music they produce and the direction they might be going for their next release. I don't know about you, but I have a feeling we're yet to see the best of Coldplay. I think theres quite a lot of untapped potential.

Wow, thats more similar to Chris' voice than the guy from Blue Merle... :shocked2: Interesting. His falsetto sounds different though.

Haha, its good to know that other people feel the same way on the subject ;), sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who is not that impressed with X&Y. I have a friend who loves the album, I think he loves every song on there except Fix You. I don't hate X&Y either, it's a pretty good album... and yeah, not all of the songs are lyrically inferior. Its when people start heralding it as 'The best album ever' and 'Coldplay's Masterpiece' when I start to wonder what they can possibly like more in an album that has two siblings which are better in almost every respect. Having said that, I still love Speed of Sound, Square One, A Message, Swallowed in the Sea, and Sleeping Sun from the era. I just hope now that they can move on from that sound & style of music and give us something fresh and original.

Just my opinion but I think their older stuff has far better lyrics than some of their later stuff (ie: X&Y). I also like their sound in the Parachutes and AROBTTH eras better, so I might be a little biased.

A Rush of Blood To The Head (song) has good lyrics. I'm not sure whether Bucket for a Crown counts but i like the lyrics of that song aswell.

Oh my God - Last Flowers definately does the live version justice!

How does CD2 compare with the album?

I know, that would be so awesome. But maybe that's asking a bit too much from them :dozey:

Exactly my thoughts one the subject, couldn't have put it better actually. I really hope they don't mess this one up. Last night I found myself imagining what the opening track of the album would be like. Starting off with just drums, then the introduction of hard, pounding piano chords, with a guitar riff slowly building ontop of all of it until it becomes a perfect blend of Coldplay sound. Basically, an instrumental track. Uh, now if those aren't signs of desperation for the new record, I don't know what are. :lol:
