Oh, anyone else having trouble downloading the digital download that comes with the vinyl? I wanted to download it this morning, but it says: Your redemption code hasn't been recognised or is no longer valid. ?

I just can't help it. Even though there are some songs that I would normally never listen to, I just can't be really objective when it comes to Coldplay. I love this band too much. These whole new worlds they created, the interviews, the positive attitude of the band. Yep, love is blindness. So this album makes me happy. New music, new songs, and as always, the best, most beautiful singing voice in the world! (When it's not pitched ?)

(Anyone else also already having troubling sleeping? ? I WANNA KNOW, WHEN I CAN GO... back to see Coldplay liiiiive!)

So there's early access for UK and verified fan for USA shows. What about the shows in Belgium? I can't find anything about a presale there. I want early access too! ?

Not excited? I've been counting down to this Friday since the release of Higher Power! I've taken the day off work Friday, so I can spend the whole day listening to the album, watching interviews, live performances, etc. ?

I don't think that's leaking, but just teasing. Creating the hype!

No way! I have pre-ordered the special edition CD, but will buy the vinyl in a local store next friday. I have only listened to Higher Power and Human Heart, and I’m so excited to hear the new album for the first time. For me, the first listening experience is always special. Looking through the artwork, hearing the new songs in high quality on my soundsystem. Also, I have taken the day off, so I will watch all the tv performances back that I’ve missed because I didn’t want to hear more new songs. So releaseday is a complete Coldplay day for me ? No way would I spoil this experience by listening to a leak. But hey, that’s me ?

Please tell me what the performance was like yesterday! ? I hope you had a great time! The Shepherd's Bush Empire show has me going crazy for days, I can't think about anything else but seeing Coldplay live. So I'm very curious about the remark they made about a world tour? ?

So is there any point in trying to get tickets for the Shepherds Bush show when you’re not from the UK? Is it even allowed?

Wow, that’s great! Enjoy! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for some show in Holland, any time soon ??

There’s no point in trying to get tickets when you don’t live in the UK, right? I’m from the Netherlands.. I hope this early access system works though. Finally something to reward fans by providing a better chance of tickets.

Just finished rewatching the Zane Lowe interview (GS era) for the 100th time. My heart still breaks every time when I see the look on Chris’ face when Zane plays O. I really feel like he is fighting back his tears. To me, this really shows he’s just a human being like the rest of us. (Sorry, I realise this is in no way related to this topic)

Thanks! I don't really understand how this can be real, since there will only be 5000 copies and unique polaroids included.. How is this possible, when it's not from the Coldplay store? Even though I'm wondering about this, I still couldn't resist... ?

Does anyone know where or when the Howard Stern interview will be available to watch/listen?

I’m pretty annoyed that there still keep coming different versions. Why not announce all of them at once? Now i’ve already pre-ordered, but I would’ve loved this truly limited and numbered version. Now it’s already soldout anyway ?

Can anyone tell me which songs are played in Joytopia? Thanks!

I see it is back and available now.. thanks!

Okay, so normally I go completely crazy about everything Coldplay related. I always pre-orders albums in the officlal shop, even though I usually get the items a few weeks after release. And I always order the limited items, even though my experience is that 'limited' is not so 'limited' at all. For me, limited is like 1000 copies, or something. Not endless amounts that are still available after a few years. So. This week I was taking some time to decide which verions to pre-order: the regular vinyl, because I actually prefer the blue color, or the limited vinyl, because, you know, it's limited. Even though I like the regular color more. Now I'm finally ready to pre-order the double vinyl: limited and regular version, only to discover the limited one is sold out. Nooo. So now I'm finally getting a little more mature and less hysterical, this is what the universe sends me? Next time I will go full crazy fangirl again ? #problemsofacoldplayer

Isn't is possible that it's just a track with a hidden song, just like on other albums?

Allright, now I want to stop myself from listening to any more singles. Otherwise I will already have heard too much, and the album release will loose it's element of surprise for me. The first listening experience is gold for me. So I probably will say goodbye to this forum for three months, in order to prevent myself from listening anything ?

So, if I'm correct the only difference between the Infinity station edition and regular edition is this, right? "ALL OF THE ABOVE ELEMENTS FEATURE A SPECIAL SILVER PANTONE PRINT ON OUTER SURFACES, WITH MAIN TYPOGRAPHY USING THE 'INFINITUM’ LANGUAGE" I hate choosing between different vinyl and CD versions... and can't decide which colour I like, because the "exclusive" is clouding my judgement. ?

Why. So. Many. Versions. ?

This is so exciting!

I'm trying to decide if I want to listen to any new singles before any album anouncements are made. Normally, I let myself listen to the first single, because there's a chance of hearing it anywhere (radio etc). and then just wait for the album, because I really like the experience of listening to an album for the first time. Mylo Xyloto was one of the least fun album releases for me, because they had already played so many songs live, there wasn't much surprise left in hearing the album. Especially because most of the songs that I didn't know back then were the parts like A Hopeful Transmission. I hope there will be some news about the album soon, so I can decide what to do when any new singles will be released..

I've been following Coldplay as a huge fan since A Rush of Blood and I can't remember ever seeing the band so excited to perform live again. It makes me want to see them live again so badly, I really can't wait! And I'm already having stupid thoughts about how I maybe won't be able to get tickets, or won't be able to go to the concert for some reason. It's driving me crazy, even though there's no tour announcement whatsoever. ? Coldplay hysteria...
