i'm sorry - i don't get - try explaining it again!

what do you tell me about that review that said the album "starts and finish just the same"??? Also Chris said "This record is supposed to work like a film" - these days lots and lots of films have sequels! I know this is kind of crazy - but Coldplay is a crazy band, so anything is possible!!!

Hello there guys!!! Everyday I am more confident on the fact that "Death And All His Friends" is another album and we will get it as a surprise with Viva La Vida!!! How do I get to this conclusion? Watch me go!!! 1.- Considering "Viva La Vida" is a very short album - Why are the boys releasing a great amount of songs??? (Viva La Vida, Violet Hill, very soon Lost! and possibly Lovers In Japan / Reign Of Love). If this rate continues, by the time Viva La Vida is released on June 11th at the UK, we will have heard every single song and therefore there will be no sense on the album being released. 2.- The rumours of the boys going back to the studio can only mean that they're working on some new songs - 'cause Viva La Vida is already done and EMI is probably already making the copies for worldwide distribution. 3.- Those pictures from "The Bakery" demonstrate that the boys are still working on songs which ultimately failed the final cut (Famous Old Painters, Glass Of Water, for example) and we're still receiving lots of mystery from the band members!!! (remember the Flotsam & Jetsam thing and Jonny saying "just some ideas we have") The question is - - - why more ideas is the album is done? 4.- Coldplay has changed it's style radically - Chris Martin has said: "we had some of those (referring to "big songs" which in my opinion are classic Coldplay songs) - but we took them off! Knowing Chris and his psyche - it is not a crazy idea to think that now he has decided to release an album with the big songs! And that would be a gift to Coldplay fans that don't like the new style. 5.- We have a 1 minute preview of Lost - and there Chris sings: "you'll be lost, every river that you tried to cross (...)" while Chris said on NME that there's a line on the record that says "Just because I'm losing/Doesn't mean I'm lost" - I know there are two different Lost (Lost! and Lost?) - but still this sounds very strange!!! How can a band release two songs called practically the same and only having a punctuation mark distinguishing them? And I am sure there are lots of more reasons that I am missing right now, but you all will help me find!!! Post your views!!! Cheers!!! & VIVA COLDPLAY!!!

You can like Britney - no problem! But is there any Britney fan hear than can tell me he/she thinks Britney is better music than Coldplay? I doubt it? That can't even be discussed!!!

How can I become a moderator? cheers!

told ya!!! This album is very commercial! Which I personally don't think is a good thing! One of the good things of Coldplay is that it had a selected audience! People with great taste of music!!! Hopefully we don't get the same people that likes Britney Spears!

go here to also hear Guy and Will on what they are trying to achieve with the new album!!! http://www.take40.com/news/14427/Coldplay-Dish-the-Dirt-on-'Violet-Hill' cheers!!!

awesome! aussies are getting a lot of exclusive interviews!!! cheers!

20! But consider I have been studying all day long!

Does somebody knows if any of the guys plays the violin? That would explain the violin on "Viva La Vida"!!!

Good point! I think the song that was done all over again is 42! And Famous Old Painters will be a B-Side some day! or will be a track of "Death And All His Friends"!!!

OK....:stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned: I'm starting to think we will get the whole album on a few hours!!! How can this be possible!!!??

LOL - now it's better and very funny! cheers!

will get Lovers In Japan (acoustic version) when the album comes out on June! Not today!

that's a saying! of course the album will have big songs! because big songs are the most popular and great songs a band has on an album! besides, I don't think the guys want the audience to be excited with Yellow on every concert! They want to see their fans excited about the new songs!

you're right - iTunes Plus give their costumers best quality songs...

you got to stop doing that!!!

thanks!!!

I have heard that Chris and Brian Eno play tabla machines... but my question is... What are tabla machines?

the guys said on the NME interview that X & Y was a shitty album! I totally disagree!!! X & Y is a great album with many outstanding songs! VIVA LA VIDA is going to be even better! It's a shame you don't think the same!

COLDPLAY DAY EVERYBODY!!!! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO VIVA LA VIDA!

if they signed an agreement, probably june 7 - espn will be playing something new - if not, they have violet hill and vida la vida for those days!

that's it! you guys are brilliant! Eurocup has a global reach surely! North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania will surely watch many games!

THANKS!!! Cheers!!! Don't forget the videos of the whole interview that'll be available shortly!!!
