Being a huge fan of the Beatles, i remember reading John Lennon was not at all a fan of interviews. One of his main reasons for hating interviews was having to explain himself and his choices or lyrics to an old and out of the loop man who thought they understood what music was about. Perhaps Chris felt the same way with this interviewer in that the interviewer did not truly get the essence of what the music is about and made ignorant assumptions on everything to do with the album.

I love what Chris said in what i think might've been the Q interview? Not sure. But anyways he said that Will was the most important part when recording the album because if he's not into it, the song doesn't work. He's got to be into it for anything to move foward. Anyways i can definitely tell that Will's into these songs ha.

I totally agree. Being a drummer myself i always find myself listening to the subtle accents in the drumming from bands. In this album Will really really shines. I'm usually listening to hear something different rather than a steady rock drum beat and he's gone way beyond with this. It's nice to hear variation in rhythm at least from a band many people would consider mainstream. Favorites from Will on this album are: Cemeteries 42 Strawberry Swing But we all know every song is stellar. :)

hahaha that's awesome. i like cemeteries of london being zombies Hotplay :laugh3:

haha i'm pretty sure we're all just guessing.

What color is each song to you? I remember Chris saying that they were experimenting with a lot more colors. I haven't seen this yet so i was wondering what you all think each song's color is! Here's what i think: Life In Technicolor - Rainbow Cemeteries of London - Gray Lost! - Green 42 - Blue LiJ/ROL - Purple/White Yes/CSC - Yellow/Orange Viva la Vida - Red Violet Hill - Violet of course! Strawberry Swing - Pink Death and all His Friends/Escapist - White/Rainbow

ahaha i love that.

Absolutely. There's always gonna be discussions on the little details of this album in the future from the way Chris sang a line, the feeling a song may give you or the fantastic production job Brian Eno did. So i guess what i'm saying is...WE HAVE GOT A TON TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE! haha

Haha it's funny Hotplay007 because i've been doing the same thing. I've been checking this forum for several months and the Coldplay excitement and anticipation had been building unbelievably. I'm ashamed that i didn't become a member way back then but i'm here now and it's a ton of fun! Nothin' better than discussing your love of a band and their music with so many other people who feel the same way

Yea i agree. Sometimes the anticipation can be agonizing but i think that's also half the fun!

Oh and hey, according to Chris in that Q interview, they'll have an album out by the end of next year! Now that would just blow my mind! That'd really be something..

Well i know i'm gonna buy the cd, enjoy the artwork, see them live, follow every promotion, watch all their tv appearances and then finally say, "hey this band bores me." haha kidding! I'll probably just listen to Viva la Vida again and again and again and maybe even again.

LIT - Celebration COL - Discovery Lost - I agree with motivation 42 - Flying? Soaring? LIJ - Love ROL - I agree with calm too Yes - Self discovery CSC - Rock and roll baby VLV - Experiences of life VH - Confrontation SW - Jivelovegroovejoy DAAHF - Peace, Celebration TE - Reminisce Haha i'm not sure if any of those are legitimate "transmissions" but i can tell you i put some real thought into them! :smug:

Yes? err wait i mean Yes! umm.. Yes. :D

It's too close to call for me. I think it really depends on your mood in comparing the acoustic and studio versions. The studio version is so atmospheric and is so joyous while the acoustic has more emotion to me. I could go for either at any time but i think if i wanted to connect with the lyrics more, i'd go for the acoustic.
