Rainy Day

Lyrics "Maybe I'm in the black/ Maybe I'm on my knees/ Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes" Edit: Well, my internet exploded when I tried to post these. No one had said anything at the time I tried. Oh well. haha

Time Where do you live? I'm in Central Time, as well. Edit: Nvm, I see now. Just a few more minutes!

Time This could be the 3:30 that the man in the clock is representing, because I know where it's about to be 3:30 in the world. :)

News I wonder if locust7 knows anything about todays news...?

Reference You might be onto something. ;)

Birds What is it with you guys? Y'all are really "up with the birds" right now. . . . . . . . . . :)

Time Yesterday, they posted the video at 2:41 pm U.S. Central Time. So, yes, it's likely to happen in the next few minutes, at the least!

Replyy And wait, I shall. I have time. :) Turns out I'm not going anywhere, so hopefully, I'll still be here for the update! They posted yesterday at 2:41 pm U.S. Central Time. It could be any minute now!!!

Reply Agreed!!

Reply Oh, believe me, it is! Thankfully, I have Twitter connected to my phone, so if they update while I'm away, I'll know it. Unfortunately, it's a normal media phone that doesn't give me decent access to the internet, so I'd have to wait and see the update when I got home. **siiiiiigh** Patience. . . . . . . . .

Twitter Coldplay Every time my Twitter icon lights up on my Mac, I'm like, "Crap, there it is!" Then I check it and it's someone else. Sigh... Come oooooonn Coldplay!!! I have to be somewhere in a few minutes!!! :bomb:

Replyyyy 7? Heck, if they're going to give us seven, they might as well just give us the rest of the album while they're at it! :)

Video Hmm... Maybe it'll be available in the next five minutes ;) Edit: Or maybe not :D

Coldplay Youtube HOORAY! New update soon!!!

Additionally Agreed. I also believe the section where it starts to build up has a very Jon Hopkins feel/sound to it. The more uptempo vibe beneath that wall of synth makes me think of his music... Almost like "Light Through the Veins". Hmm. It's great :)

Replyyyy The intro seems to hold a very upbeat tempo beneath the soft hum of the synths, especially noticeable towards the end of the clip. I think it's going to build up into something absolutely mind-blowing!!! Oh goodness I can't wait to hear it... Tomorrow, maybe? I wonder what news we'll get today? And awesome! I will have to look up the tickets and see if my theaters are playing it!

Replyyy You're spot on with that one! I'm sure I will love it, though. From the snippet of what we've heard with the most recent video, I'm already liking it! hahaha. I will definitely see the Glastonbury movie if I am able to! Will you??

Replyy Thanks! Glad you and I (and Mr. Campbell) are on the same page here! It would be like many rock/soft rock bands out there today who stick to the same formula for 10 or 20 years and never change their sound... It would just get old and boring! I mean, look at the Eagles... Their most recent album, "Long Road Out of Eden", was a very nice album, but many of the songs on it sounded like they had been borrowed from some of their earlier hits. Why? Because they stick to the same formula. I don't want to hear the first two Coldplay albums over and over again. I want inspiration and freshness. So, I'm happy to see they are doing what they are with this album. It's a comfort to me, as I'm sure it is to you!

Reply to Mr. Campbell Mr. Campbell! Always commenting when least expected. Good to hear from you here! :)

Reply If you look at my post just before yours, I essentially say the same thing. Give it a look. But I definitely agree. We need to stop arguing about opinion and just get back on topic.

Reply This is how it is and this is how it will be. Very good!

Eno and Viva la Vida/Opinions To say that Eno sucked the emotion out of the Viva album is to say that he wrote the lyrics, wrote each instrumental section, and also produced it as he did. I know that he contributed to/assisted with the lyrics every now and then, but Chris was solely in charge of that. Eno's sole contribution to the album was providing the sonic soundscapes and helping them to understand where they need to be as musicians. I, personally, was thrilled with what they did, and the more listened, the greater I liked it. Now I almost always listen from start to finish as they said it was supposed to be listened to (not that you absolutely have to) and enjoy it that way. I for one don't want another A Rush of Blood to the Head. I want progression and growth. Maturity and professionalism. And if they keep going back to what they've already done, they will not grow in those ways. I appreciate Eno's contributions to the band and to Viva la Vida, and I think that, due to his influence on them, this next album is going to be brilliant. The boys are finally finding themselves as musicians and discovering what it means to expand their ideas and cover more territory. Having said this, I find it very difficult to compare Viva la Vida to Parachutes, as they contain two totally different sounds. Parachutes is so raw and stripped down and Viva la Vida is so colorful and full of different sounds. I think Viva la VIda is better than Parachutes for certain reasons and I think Parachutes is better than Viva la Vida for certain reasons. But at the end of the day, everyone is going to have their own opinion about which album is the best or which is their favorite, and to try and argue against each others opinions probably isn't going to get us anywhere. I have stated my opinion about Eno's contributions to Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Everyone else has stated their opinions as well. I think the best thing for us to do now is to accept that our opinions differ and go back to discussing the topic to which this thread was dedicated. The new album is still a few months away, and the new single is probably a few days away. Let's not be too critical at this point and just continue to hope for the best.

Reply Oh... There is more than bass here... http://www.zshare.net/audio/907193767b8898c8/

Reply NAILED IT.

Release Date Looking at past release dates, their LP's have never been released before June or past August. Knowing Coldplay, they are going to stick to that trend. I'd say we will see it in August... mid-September at the latest. The first day of autumn falls between the 21st and 23rd, depending on the year, and we were told it would be towards the fall when it was released, rather than during the fall. So, I'd be on the lookout for the album to be here before September 22nd.
