I think a break will be good for them, disappointed to hear that Chris is following all the other sheep to LA though : (

I was there on Friday, amazing performance as always, but having seen them 16 times now the whole confetti and bouncy balls thing really is wearing a bit thin. For me the best bits are still when it's just the four guys standing around playing tunes (Warning Sign was sublime :D ) and I crave a return to what i saw in the early performances. Glow bands create an awesome spectacle but they should just remain a feature of this tour, I think otherwise in future we are all in danger of OD'ing on Lasers, Confetti, beach balls, fireworks and inflatables!!

For me it just doesn't seem to flow very well, of course there is a theme but the scenes seem quite badly edited together... Or maybe i'm just not smart enough to get it?! Rihanna just isn't very convincing /enthusiastic either. I gave it a generous 6 out 10 because i liked the concept but I just don't think it's executed as well as could of been. Also I think this vid demonstrates (like much of what we've seen in MX era) that our boys have become a little bit confused of who they're delivering to... :\

Very nice, in fact a whole lot nicer than the awful boots the band are wearing themselves this tour! :laugh3:

felixstartstorock is even doing the little chris quiff as well! :laugh3:

Agreed, the great video at least gives me something pleasant to think about whenever i'm gonna hear this song (which i hate).

Can somebody send me a working link as well please? None of them seem to be working : (

I got my standing tickets yesterday thankfully, but I wouldn't worry you lot they will release another 2 dates, either later this morning or next friday. They just don't want all the standing and lower tier tickets to sell out straight away and be left with lots of higher tier tickets.

Brilliant, thanks :cool:

So standing tickets are definitely standing are they?? I selected standing but my receipt says floor row 59! But then in description it says 'no under 16's permitted in standing section'... Why make it so bloody confusing?

Why the soulless O2, even Wembley Arena would be better than this venue again :(

This short review hardly comes from a reliable resource does it and the fact that there is now talk of hip-hop influences throughout worries me quite a lot. Oh and for some reason the name of the poster suggests to me someone who puts an unnecessary positive slant on everything in life! Probably Coldplay are like her 25th favourite band or something as well... the bit that really makes me laugh is that she is claiming it is their best album to date having listened to it once?!

Of course we need to hear studio version, but already you can tell UIF is definitely a nice little song to add to the catalogue. I don't think it is by any means a classic though... :\

I really hate Eno now. That 10 commandments proves he's a ****! ETIAW has grown on me somewhat, but Paradise will for a long time remain a dent in my appreciation for our beloved band. In fact it is so bad, that when I copy the new album to itunes in October i believe I will actually untick the box for this track so that it doesn't copy and then I never even have to chance hearing it on shuffle. Saying that, I still believe there will be a few gems on the album and if Up in Flames is half as good as it is being big up to be, then surely we are in for a treat.

That is a nice story :) I'm glad your friend took a copy of AROBTTH along to sign as well, I think that CM more than anybody perhaps needs some reminding of what exactly made that album was so great...

Great. More bullshit Hip-Hop influenced, overstylized crap to look forward to then. Where is Phil when all this going on, isn't he supposed to be taste consultant as well as manager?!! :(

Rihanna! :angry: Another step in the completely wrong direction, another stiff middle finger to the fans that have been with them since the beginning. If this is true, the band are now coming across like a bunch of complete whores and just trying to pick up new fans wherever they can find them. What are they thinking?! It can only be about the money, do they need it? Or are they thinking they will sell a zillion more copies and to every kid in the hood now with her name attached... dear me WTF is going on CP?! I was feeling quite optimistic about the album prior to this, even after listening to that turd Paradise (a massive regression) this morning... But this is to much though. And of course now we will have to see her ugly little troll face pop up in the video for POC as well : (

I am sickened. I found ETIAW slightly disappointing but it is a masterpiece compared to this poor excuse for a track. I feel sorry for Will, Jonny and Guy...it is definitely Chris and Eno who are responsible for this mess.

Hear hear!

This song is for 15 year olds who listen to Timberlake, One Republic and other vacuous crap in that vein. I feel so disappointed to hear them put out this dross ahead of Charlie Brown or some of the other great tracks we've already heard : ( Especially as they are big enough to not have play these stupid music industry games.

I really hope it is just this 30 secs of the song that I don't like or that this is a demo or something! Not feeling it one bit, this clip sounds too boyband-ish for me.

Great to hear it and I think it sounds awesome, but I feel a bit disappointed that this is the way we hear it first. Why make it available to Sky at this stage? Who allowed this to happen...it's just a bit naff to hear a great song like this for the first time played on a meaningless advert. The band have plenty of time to make money from the album/tracks in the coming years, I just don't get how they could make such a booboo : (

great work, I love looking at all this CP inspired Art...I need to dedicate some time to create my own I think :cool:

Brilliant stuff! :stunned: I think we should have a Lego interpretation of every CP video :cool:

What is it with our boys and their awful choice of footwear?!
