"A Hopefull Transmission" "M.M.I.X" (without the last full stop) no artwork... :veryangry2::veryangry2::veryangry2:

i've created a bunch of wallpapers for the 3gs, if anyone want them:

the ultimate test would be if they play DLIBYH.

no, you're not the only one :)

I'm on last.fm, I've listened to the new songs like "Hurts Like Heaven" "Charlie Brown" etc. (the live version, although I've tagged them on my iTunes with the album title), but that doesn't mean I have the leak...

according to the spanish review posted here on the forum, they sampled "Anthem" by Leonard Cohen: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ma5tF6TJpA]Leonard Cohen - Anthem - YouTube[/ame] and also "Driven by You" by Brain May [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mki_v4MH_mc]BRIAN MAY: Driven By You - YouTube[/ame] :inquisitive::inquisitive::inquisitive:

A triumphant fifth LP which reveals familiar strengths in all the right places. Don’t Coldplay love their Xs and their Ys? And their enigmatic album titles? After 2005’s X&Y and 2008’s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends comes Mylo Xyloto. Well, it beats Coldplay 5. But any title that needs a pronunciation guide (it’s "My-lo zy-letoe") sounds like it’s trying a bit too hard. Maybe Chris Martin still yearns for something that infers the depth and gravitas of a Bono or Thom Yorke. The album is apparently a concept work, "based on a love story with a happy ending," Martin claims, and inspired by old-school American graffiti and the anti-Nazi pacifist White Rose Movement: "It's about being free to be yourself and to express yourself among negative surroundings." But the lyrics are still typically Martin’s life-affirming, anthem-forming and plain-speaking as ever, more ABC than MYLO XYLOTO. The same goes for the music. Bassist Guy Berryman said in 2009, "It's time to take our music down different directions and really explore other avenues," and, in name alone, this set suggests Coldplay might finally do an Achtung Baby; they might rip it up and start again, in the presence of said U2 LP’s producer Brian Eno, who also worked on Viva la Vida. If the addition of electronic undertows, instrumental snippets (the title-track, M.M.I.X., A Hopeful Transmission) linking many of the tracks and the presence of Rihanna on Princess of China count as "other avenues", then job well done. But Mylo Xyloto is much more a brilliant, shiny and emphatic reinstatement of the euphoric hooks and cuddly ballads that have served the band so well. Case in point: Paradise, where melting strings and church organ feed into a brilliant chorus line that equal parts Fix You and Viva la Vida’s title-track. But the main vocal chorus doesn’t arrive until over two minutes in, building the tension; the pay-off is both simple and devastating. It’s the equal of Yellow, and when Coldplay return to Glastonbury it will take the roof off the sky. Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall goes one step further than Paradise by lifting Vida la Vida’s "who-hoa!" hook, suggesting Coldplay can’t truly comprehend new avenues. U2-shaped echoes still run through the deep and wide canyons of their landscaped sound – Major Minus features The Edge-patented guitar chatter, but it’s nevertheless a triumph. Charlie Brown has one of those Coldplay-patented sun-breaking-through-clouds moments; Us Against the World (the sentiment that unites the graffiti and anti-Nazi camps) is the key wistful/cuddly ballad alongside Up in Flames, a successful grafting of soul onto the Coldplay model, helped by an understated falsetto and the simplest of piano parts (echoes of Parachutes’ gorgeous Everything’s Not Lost). The closing Up With the Birds, which samples Leonard Cohen, is a serene finale that shows Coldplay understand the change of dynamics more than the dynamics of change. Better this than the nominally Euro-disco bent of Princess of China, where Rihanna’s presence feels more of a marketing tool than a creative necessity, and there’s yet another "who-ay-oh-oh!" chant just in case Coldplay were straying too far from their remit. This appears to support Martin’s message of expressing the freedom to be yourself under negative surroundings – not to change just because critics of the band tell them they should. Mylo Xyloto may have an oblique title but it’s a triumph because the music is anything but. http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/98x2

so, from the nytimes interview, finally we have the real meaning: “Music comes from a place we don’t know,” he said. “It sort of comes through the fingers and toes. So we came up with the idea of, what if you had musical digits, like xylo toes.” He shook his head, irritated that he gave up the secret so easily. And what about “Mylo”? “It’s just a great name,” he said. “For anything.”

c'mon guys, how can you even imagine that this is legit? it's obviously fake, with the giggling and the mispronouncing of mylo xyloto...

ops...sorry! :lock:

I've just found it on last.fm, I don't know how the source got his hands on it, here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?s2699icb486jqd6

maybe rhianna will sing only the "lalalalas" parts...i hope

:lock:

;)

you're welcome ;) I couldn't believe that there were only two recordings of the song at Rock Im Park, so I've tried looking harder for it on Youtube, keeping an eye at the concert setlist and seeing if someone had uploaded the song along some most famous song ... and so that was the case! I've found a user who uploaded it together with GPASUYF thinking it was Major Minus. So I've added the missing seconds at the beginning from previous (bad) recordings, an artwork worthy of its name…and now we just have to wait until October :)

It's incredible, I was losing hope and instead today I've found an higher quality version! Yay! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrhPePOih9E]‪Coldplay - Princess of China‬‏ - YouTube[/ame]

how people can be so stupid? even thinking that this list could be true... I mean, we're talking about a new album with actually only one song that hasn't been heard yet....come on.

Is this the moment when they got inspired? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_2Oe5HNwAE]‪BIUTIFUL - Clip5 "Im Club" - Deutsch / German‬‏ - YouTube[/ame]

yes it was ;) i still think it's a broadcasting-audio-levels-thing...

i don't think that's the reason... in italy we sing 10x times louder and better than this!

maybe it's the way the audio is broadcasted. when they don't play music, the crowd doesn't seem dead....

my opinion: Rock im Park was the first comeback concert of the Lp5 era. They decided to play new songs, but the next day it turned out that people had uploaded pretty decent quality video of these songs on Youtube, and you know how this works, these videos have begun to circulate very fast around the web. The only new song that surprisingly didn't have a good video recording was Princess of China, and maybe they seized the opportunity to take a step backward and not spoil another new song of LP5. just my 2 cents. last thought: maybe, like you've said, they're tweaking some details, maybe the lyrics are incomplete (i.e. where chris sings "You sing Love, la la la la la la la la etc.")

definetely YES!

i really hope they don't ruin the album version of "charlie brown" with that crappy voice distortion and bad sound production that has been used in Major Minus :veryangry2:

me too :cry:
