Best: Trouble in Town, Arabesque. Can’t pick between the two really. Worst: Eko, Old Friends. Good: Everything else.

If it’s nominated tomorrow, it’ll be for the 2020 Grammys - which is impossible as they missed the deadline. But it’s eligible for nomination for the 2021 Grammys.

I find it really odd that they are announcing so many last minute shows and so close together. First the museum one in London and now this. They seem really anxious to go back to hibernation. :expressionless:

My wish for LP9 is a VLV 2.0 (I swear them dedicating a track to Brian Eno meant they went groveling back to him. Ha!) or an indie rock album - cause they do it so well (see Major Minus/Charlie Brown/Ghost Story/Birds/COTW as reference). I thought Orphans is miles better than most of the songs in AHFOD and if Orphans was suppose to be on LP9 and is any indication of the direction of the album, I think be happy.

Not possible for EL to be eligible for the next Grammys. They are pretty strict on that. Best chance is 2021 which doesn’t bode well for the album cause Adele will ruin everything.

Actually they kind do repeat albums. MX and AHFOD are pretty similar is style/template (though MX is far more superior). They’ll have a pop song (ETIAW/AOAL), duet with female mega star, an indie rock song (Charlier Brown/Birds), deary ballad (Up in Flames/Everglow), musical interludes, an uplifting don’t-let-life-get-you-down number. Lol.

My thoughts exactly. It’s why I’m not keen on a LP9 so quick. Cause it just means EL doesn’t mean it’s as ‘important’. It feels like them saying to people “oh EL is nothing. Don’t worry about it, you’ll get your SJLT.”

Where is this from?

I think they’ll only do one show in Asia (Japan). Really hope they change their mind on Aus. Since they won’t come to NZ, it’s the closest I can get to. Heh.

Oh yes we all knew that. It was kinda obvious when the rumors first came out that they were gonna do another GS/AHFOD type of thing. They should at least give EL a year to be out in the world before releasing another one. The other reason why I don’t want LP9 so soon is that I want this era to be remembered by casual Coldplay fans and critics. Once LP9 comes around, EL will just be a faded memory. Lol. Personally, I don’t think Coldplay does pop well. However, MX was miles better than AHFOD so if they do something similar to that I’ll be quite happy. I would however like them to go into indie rock. Songs like Birds, Ghost Story, Charlie Brown and even Champion of the World shows that the boys can do indie rock quite well. Just no more AOAL. Haha.

Haha. I just saw that on IG. But I’m in Christchurch damn it!

Guys. Which paper did it come out in? I need to hunt it down. :D

It’s not about me listening to the album so quickly. It’s about this era being so short and the fans not being able to enjoy it for awhile before the next era comes rushing in and burying it. I’m pretty sure we’ll get whiplash. Lol.

Wow. I really don’t want this. Haha. I mean new Coldplay music is always awesome but I really want to enjoy EL as long as I can before AHFOD 2.0 comes swooping in and pushes it into the background. Plus I was really really hoping EL would be the turning point in their career (like MX was). But guess this is just another GS. *sigh*

Which newspaper?

Do we know if they are going to play the whole album? Or it’s just a normal concert? I hope they do something similar around the world (like they did with GS).

I know right?! First of all, I didn’t know he was good enough to play a guitar on a album and second of all, he has connections with Coldplay? But how??? lol.

I don’t know why but something tells me this album will have a lot of critics scratching their heads. Lol.

Sorry but what’s with you and your obsession with songs being released as a single? It doesn’t make a difference to anything. It’s not like before where we get a b-side to single. Now, having a single released doesn’t mean a thing. Lol.

Loved the voice sample in it and unlike the other songs, it actually fits in really well. But it could do without the children singing at the end. Didn’t think it was necessary.

Interesting. Cause for me that part took the song to another level. It gave me goosebumps. It my favorite part of the song.

After having the album on repeat for awhile now, I’m really excited to hear these songs live!

I never saw the comics but I could tell that MX was a concept album because there was a cohesive flow to it. That’s what made it better than EL.

Because they are never ever good? I just don’t like dance music. The only remixes I actually like are remixes of The xx songs, especially from their first album. Those are something special.

Not a fan of remixes in general so it really has to be epic to win me over. And this was not.
