Yeah these are short snippets so it's not representative of the full album...

Mp3!!! December is just too long, it would be torture!! :sick:

Agreed. I succumbed to the samPler as it's official and only little snippets of the songs I've already heard (live or singles). I think it will tide me over until Monday. If there's a part B, I think I'll pass...

Damn, I caved and listened to the sampler! :sick: I have no willpower I guess, ha. Glad I did though as I think it satiated my appetite for now and since it's official and I've heard most of these live already, I don't feel so bad! If they release a side B (inevitable I think) I'm going to try and withhold listening to that one as that's where all the tracks I haven't heard are! :bomb: Honestly though, the sampler doesn't play much of each song. Some get more airtime than others. I was just really curious about the studio versions of the tracks played live. HLH vocals are kind of off from the little bit I heard, but I still think it mostly sounds like the live version :)

I caved and listened to the sampler! Figured it's not the whole song plus I've heard most of Side A live anyway! I think that satiated me for me! :thumbsup:

So the girl got fired and replaced by elephant costumes or are they both in the video??!!! :confused:

Yet your sig shows it's one of two coldplay songs you're listening to? :rolleyes:

Who knows, but the live webcast is only one and a half hours away! :awesome:

Wow Dianne that's fantastic!!! You've definitely had quite a bit of coldplay karma recently lol! EDIT: Ooh, there's a live webcast! I'm going to be sneaky and try and watch it on my iPod at work! :sneaky:

:awesome:

Lol @ Will with the sunglasses! :awesome:

Ha I got so tempted last night as I wasn't really doing anything and I played the 1st 30 secs of POC and thought it sounded pretty good. Then again, I like some of Rihanna's songs (yeah, yeah, whatever!). A few hours later I saw a link to the leak and started to download it, but canceled it about half way :lol: - mostly as it was taking forever and figured it was a sign! :evil: So I will wait. It's less than a week. I just need to keep myself occupied! :lol:

Just buy the damn CD or MP3 album next week. :rolleyes:

Probably because they enjoy it. Probably impulsive too. Just because they rate it a 10 and you don't feel it deserves it, doesn't mean they have to defend their decision though. I will hold my judgement until next week, but I very rarely would rate anything a 10. That's just me.

Trying REALLY hard not too, but not sure. I guess if all the links get removed before I decide to listen, then I won't ha. Ugh, I hate leaks in a way as I'm all mentally prepared for the release date, then WHAM! - a carrot dangling in front of me! :lol:

Love reading these opinions! I'm in the camp of waiting - I just can't bear to listen to it early for some reason. Excited reading the opinions though.

I thought everyone knew Chris' vocals were distorted on HLH or is it the whole song? On the live recordings you can clearly hear portions where his voice is synthesised or something. I can resist listening to the album before the release date, but can't resist reading everyones opinions who did cave! :lol: Must say I'm excited that lots of people are saying it's better than they expected and that the 2nd half is great. Since I have already heard most of the first half dur to the singles and live shows and like most of those tracks, thinking I'm going to like the whole thing!

For some reason, I don't think it will leak. We've already heard half the album. I am content waiting an extra week to have a complete listen from start to finish and have some unheard songs in there on release day at least...

Agreed. One more week won't kill me and I want to listen to it how it's meant to be listened to. I've already heard enough of the album early.

Well at least now we know for sure which tracks are the short instrumentals...

LOL, this will be really weird if it's true as we were initially a day behind... Mmm, now I'm wondering if I now won't get it a day early (for the US anyway), but actually a day late as I ordered the pop-up version through the official site... Blah...

Ha, I got a complimentary year of Sirius XM when I got my new car, but haven't activated it yet... If they provided transportation I would for this contest. I think I'll just wait until the New Year though - new year, new options! :thumbsup:

YAY! Acoustic Sunrise is one of my favourite shows on Sunday morning, and now it's even better!!! :awesome:

UGH! WHY do people say stuff like this? Just because a picture is not presented does not mean it didn't happen. Sometimes you can't take pictures. :rolleyes:

"Don't Panic!" :)
