They will be #1 with the remix of VLV by T-pain. He will add some heavy 808 beat and change the lyrics. "I used to rule the street, hoes would dance to this beat"

I really can't see the connection either, convince me. The sound of VH, ASARY, VLV might be different from the old CP sound, but it's not experimental. If My bloody valentine recorded a salsa album, I wouldnt call it experimental music.

Whatever happened to albums leaking one month before their official release ? Those were the good ol' days...

Yes, i can. The funny (or annoying) thing will be the hordes of fans showing up at CP concerts dressed up like clowns in a pathetic attempt to look like the band haha.

Point taken, the title is mean and cheap. The rest of the article is a harmless joke though.

"Additionally, the new Coldplay album will cure cancer, solve the energy crisis, and bring 2Pac back to life." lmao Relax guys, this article is pretty funny. The writer is not even criticizing VLV, he's just making fun of the Sun reviewer's pompous style.

Anyway, i just watched a new interview and Chris said there was no theme on VLV. He said if you dled the first track as a ring tone, it could be a ring tone album. Thats fine for me.

What am i complaining about ? I feel you didn't answer to my post, you replied to some imaginary attack. I never said the new songs were pretentious, and I never argued against the fact that there is a departure from the old Coldplay sound. I'm just saying I heard them talk about resistance to the authority and I thought there was a link between the lyrics, the cover, their clothes and their own comments on that matter. It looked coherent to me, not far fetched. I dont think I am making anything up, but it's just my impression.

Thanks David. I can hardly hear the song (four morons are talking over it) but it doesn't sound too bad.

What do you lads think of this revolutionary imagery ? The album cover, their new outfit (they look like mexican guerrilleros), political comments in their lyrics ("when the future's architectured..."), the recurrent theme of "resisting the authority" (cf the new interviews). Isnt it a bit ridiculous ? Is it legitimate ? Let's face it, Coldplay is one the biggest selling bands of the planet, they are part of the system, they belong to the establishment. Their songs are used in Itunes commercials, the OC, Grey's anatomy and so on. Is this their definition of rebellion ? They said they would never allow their music to be used in a commercial, well... Musically, they dont exactly represent the idea of revolution either, their songs are quite traditional, they dont revolutionize anything. To me, it feels like some madonna marketing plan. New album = new theme, new outfit. I dont mean to say that every band should be rebellious but if you use the symbols of revolution and talk about resisting the powers-that-be, then you have to assume it. ps 1 : I like the second VH video better than the official one, but they would never have the balls to release it. ps 2 : I remember an interview where Guy said that VH was not even on the album until "the powers-that-be" convinced them 1)to put it on the album 2) to release it as the first single. Later in the same interview, the poor guy tried to explain that the song was about "resisting the authority", i was lmao. Am i the only one who sees a contradiction here ? :laugh3:

Oh no, it would ruin the sales, oh poor coldplay. Let's all buy the album to help this small indie band. They can't even afford guitars, amps or even guitar strings for that matter... I read Buckland played with 5 strings on his guitar during the recording of VLV.

Agreed. As a matter of fact, it's probably the only song that gives me hope. I find the other ones rather flat. If art is all about emotion, ASARY, VH, LIJ are invisible to me, utterly insignificant. They lack good melodies. Lost is a bit better, but it's a typical league 2 Coldplay song, it sounds like a b-side from the AROBTTH era. VLV has a good melody and probably features the best lyrics ever written by Chris Martin. It's gentle and powerful at the same time, very traditional in its structure but also quite original for a Coldplay track. Its only flaw might be the production, it's a bit heavy in my opinion but overall it's the best new song so far.

I sure as hell don't care about the title of this track, I just hope it's not on the album. What do you do with 3 dull uninspired pieces ? Well, you obviously can't record a whole song with any of these parts so you go get some glue and make a collage. Result : a rickety artificial song.
