I also think it is pointless and that's way I am not listening. I think it actually kind of ruins the experience.

Thank you!

Being number 1 doesn't matter to them.

I cannot believe they are doing this. It's stupid.

Very probably this will an interlude between Amazing Day and Up&Up.

I would say that it is impossible to do with Adele's release being so close to them. Only a two weeks gap difference.

Leak already please!

This 10 second preview release is non-sense!

It's nice to read your reviews guys. My expectations are going down, down, down. I will wait until the whole thing leaks.

Phil Harvey! Posting snippets of the songs? Terrible idea! You might as well leak the album now and stop ruining the experience for every fan!

I really doubt they will do a First Listen this time!

I think the studio version of AHFOD is going to convince those who are not very convinced yet!

This era the fun was in the LP7 thread! Many months waiting for something!

Thread of the year!

Mr. Christopher Martin's favorite song in AHFOD! One highlight: the album opening title track, which Martin is particularly proud of. “It’s my favorite Coldplay song ever. It’s what I always dreamed of singing—now I’m allowed to do it.” Source: Entertainment Weekly.

Coldplayzone.it is reporting that this track lasts 3 minutes and 24 seconds and in the end, it includes the hidden track X Marks the Spot.

Coldplayzone.it just reported that this track is not hidden at the end of the album, but after Army of One, a song that lasts 3 minutes and 24 seconds.

It think it might be this song or Everglow. Most probably this one because of the sticker in the top of the CD mentioning. As of now, though, there's a 50% chance that it is this one and 50% that it is Everglow.

It is reminiscent of Everything's Not Lost but much better. It has this gorgeous piano hook and the guitar solos are amazing!

Apparently ColdplayAtlas has access to a high resolution copy of the magazine... Hopefully a kind soul will upload it here soon!

Without the music, the lyrics are substandard.

I can't believe we haven't got yet proper scans of all the pages! :cry:

Maybe it was too expensive for the band and they had to bring in Beats 1 advertisement. Or maybe and hopefully I am wrong and it is just a simple little promo.

That is one of the problems of waiting and then coming here and read the comments. The whole song might be ruined for you because you have so high expectations. I will suggest keeping your expectations low. After all, some people here don't think is that great and that might be the case for you. I think it is a masterpiece, though. So if I were you I would hear it at least once.
