It's Martin. Not Martins. Unless it was suppose to be 'Chris Martin's Really Cool'.

Thanks! I'm loving the alternative version to the TIEYA video. But as PolarMonkey mentioned, I prefer the original one as a music video.

Does anyone know the setlist for the Children in Need gig?

I like the new video. It's quite different from the rest - in the sense that it has a story to it. Most of her videos don't and are very similar to each other.

I like this era but I wished they continued with the VLV era for another album. I thought that era could have lasted for another album before moving away from it. It was what surprises me the most about MX. I thought for sure they had enough VLV in them for this album but they went and changed it completely. Not that I hate this era or anything but to me the VLV era ended too soon.

Got the album a few days ago and have been listening to it since. However, I can't decide whether it's my favourite album at the moment right now or not (I'm listening to Florence + The Machine and Coldplay as well). Is it just me or is there quite a number of slow songs on this album?

Hmm I don't know. I'm loving MX right now so it's hard to choose. Ask me again in a month's time. :P

I doubt it would be DLIBYH. It's not exactly radio friendly, in my opinion.

I think it would be dumb for them not to release PoC as a single.

Saw the second half of the Packers game so I missed it! :(

No Light No Light and Seven Devils are getting numerous plays from me at the moment. :D

Haha yeah, me too. I think it's a bit overrated. :P

PoC. Don't want it to be Charlie Brown as the radio will overplay it and I'll start disliking the song. The same thing happened with VLV.

That is one cool ad!

^ This. People should be glad they are able to hear it! :dozey: Though personally, I'm glad it's not on the album. Unless of course, it were to replace Up in Flames.

Most of the b-sides from them were MUCH better than the a-side songs in my opinion. Take a listen to the B-sides from the X&Y era for example. So am I curious to hear the b-sides. :P

The melody sounds a lot like Glass of Water to me so maybe that's why it sounds familiar. When I first heard it, GoW popped into my head immediately. :laugh3:

Hmm I still can't decide which one I prefer. :laugh3: Though I would probably lean towards Lungs more because of the use of harps and the songs don't sound alike like they do on Ceremonials.

MX era just began in my opinion. It's done when the world tour is over. ;) They would definitely work on new songs during the tour and such but I don't think we'll hear it. :P

That's what it sounds to me - "So cold, so cold." Even after reading the lyrics, I still don't hear the "It's", so I"m putting it down as another mistake. :angry:

There's already a thread here about how bad this song is so I don't think another one is necessary. But, I don't think it's that bad. I like it. :)

Argh! Gotta stay away from these leaks! Only a few more days to go before I get it. For those who've heard it, is the record completely different from the last two albums?

This is embarrassing. Really. :thinking:
