Been waiting ALL WEEK for this :D.

Me, too. 4th listen in a row now :laugh3:.

Great find guys. Even if this turns out to be nothing, it's still really cool to look at all the songs they've registered :D.

Aw. Chris makes a cute drunk :laugh3:.

Lovely video of the guys :D.

How lucky!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!

That's actually a really good point :).

I hope this isn't...."wrong" :laugh3:, but it's "Clocks" for me....have never been much of a fan of that song.

Awesome :).

This may be off, but I was thinking of what Chris said about being inspired by the White Rose movement, so I did a little research on it. I remember someone on here saying (somewhere in the beginning of the original thread :laugh3:), that he had said the album may be about a couple fighting against the world. I read up a bit on Hans and Sophie Scholl and how they passed out pamphlets at their university in rebellion to the Nazi regime (this could be a reference to the "couple" against the world). Also, the grafitti could be used as a way for the opressed to speak out (kind of like the way they did with the pamphlets). This is just an obscure guess from me :laugh3:, but maybe the radio towers on their clothes is in reference to the way the Nazis utilized the radio for propaganda purposes. Chris had mentioned people fighting for themselves while being surrounded by negativity in the world. With all the propaganda, the Germans were definetely surrounded by an enormous amount of negativity.

I've been reading up on the White Rose Movement trying to get some clues :kiss:. Would fit with the swastika.

Been having SUCH a good time reading all the speculation and thinking about things myself :). Some things I realized today (appoligies if they have already been mentioned), In "Major Minus" one of the lyrics is "Us Against the World"....there's also the song title "Us Against the World." And on Chris's guitar (at the bottom in the sentence "One eye watching you....") and piano, the eye looks similar to the one in this photo posted earlier: Can't wait for the new LP. Have seen the band 3 times and everytime they just keep getting better and better :D!! All three concerts I've seen were in Philly (including the "USA Loves Coldplay" show. I still have my sign :P.
