Me! I hope to meet Coldplayers there!

BTW, what a shame that Infinity Sign is not a proper version of Don Quixote. That song was very good! But I guess they decided not to release it since it has the same chord progression as Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark.

Yes, Biutyful is definitely a highlight!

I know I have heard before the bit in Infinity Sign that comes right after the olés fade away... Where does that come from? the AHFOD documentary?

Yes - and I don't see another way than scaling-down production and other tricks.

I agree - some interludes are meaningless (like MOTS II). I really hope the reason for this is that we are getting Volumes ii and iii rather soon. Right now I am really enjoying Humankind, LSG, POTP, Beautiful and Coloratura, obviously!

Brilliant Coloratura People of the Pride Great Higher Power Biutyful Let Somebody Go Good Humankind Human Heart Eh Infinity Sign My Universe MOTS What the hell were you thinking, boys? MOTS II

Humankind is a grower - wasn't convinced on first listen!

Coloratura is perhaps their best album closer ever! WOW

What is Chris singing on Infinity Sign? Also, it seems that the transition between Infinity Sign and Coloratura was poorly done - it sounds so abrupt...

It's really weird, but it is what it is. I really hope that they make it available at 12 AM CEST and I don't have to wait for October 15th in the United States.

The .rar file?

Where is everybody? There's a new album in four days!

Nope.

Is there many people lurking around here (like myself) or this time there is less anticipation for the imminent release of a new album?

My guess is that the CDs will start arriving to stores early next week and then the probability of a leak will be greater. But it might be the case that for certain markets the CDs have already been shipped and we get a surprise later this week.

I assume that the band has discussed this issue and the solution they came up with is: yes, we are going to make pop albums like AHFOD AND MOTS, but we will also make eclectic projects like Ghost Stories and Everyday Life.

Anyone in the UK that can buy Rolling Stone magazine and publish here a photo of their MOTS review? They gave it four out of five stars.

Galileo finally made it to a Coldplay song! Remember that chat between the band that features in the AHFOD documentary?

Yes! I would love a whole album of something in this vein!

Perhaps the lyrics are the only weak part

It's great - it's very different Cannot be compared to other great album closers such as Amsterdam, Death and All His Friends, O...

OHOHOH OHOHOH

Wow. There's so much to unpack.

It's almost here folks! I am so happy that I am sharing another historic moment here at Coldplaying
