Just wondering, to someone who already has their copy: how is the O reprise listed on the tracklisting? Is it "O (Reprise)"? "O (Part 2)"? or something else? Thanks :)

Don't know if you've got your answer yet, but here's what I get when running the regular EU (Dutch) CD through Audiochecker: 01 AIMH - Error, could not qualify the source of the track 02 Magic - 100% CDDA 03 Ink - 95% MPEG 04 True Love - 95% MPEG 05 Midnight - 100% CDDA 06 Another's Arms - 95% MPEG 07 Oceans - 100% CDDA 08 A Sky Full Of Stars - 100% CDDA 09 O - 100% CDDA So yeah, it definitely looks like something weird happened in the mastering stage... but would they really have been so careless to use MPEG-versions by accident, or would it have some kind of reasoning behind it (maybe they like the more 'compressed' sound MPEG encoding gives)?

Just won a free copy! :D Good thing I hadn't ordered one yet. By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a deluxe edition out later in the year with the Target bonus tracks and a DVD of the TV special... but we'll see ;)

Have listened to it twice now, not very impressed yet. Probably a grower though - it took me some time to get into their earlier (pre-Attack & Release) stuff too...

Yeah, pretty sure they will. Especially if it has leaked by Monday (which I somewhat doubt) - and else it'll probably be on Monday to beat any actual leaks.

Apparently, there are no review copies of the album... this explains the lack of pre-release reviews so far!

The XFM player can be very easily tricked - they only ask for a postcode - the London Fire Brigade one usually does the trick (SE10LL) ;)

Probably soon after - I wouldn't be surprised if the song's up on the official Youtube channel and on iTunes from 7.30, or shortly thereafter. They probably want to get all the views/sales they can get before someone puts it up online before them.

7:30pm UK time ;)

Yeah, they should really step up their game, they're being found way too easily. Shame there will pretty much definitely not be one near me (only 30.000 people in the place I live)... :(

Anyone in Helsinki? The next envelope is hidden in Library 10 in Helsinki, in the book "Mister B. Gone" by Clive Baxter. Good luck!

Did they give any reason for the extremely short set? Cause seriously, with this high a ticket price, I'd at least expect to get a full show and not just 14 songs. Glad I didn't attempt to get a ticket, cause I would've been very pissed...

Really enjoying the new album. Tried getting tickets for their show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam this morning, but no luck - it sold out in 10 seconds! :O

This is so exciting! I'd never give up hope on that May/June release for the album :) But seriously... that deluxe version with bonus tracks, a US/Target exclusive? What about us non-US fans? :(

I don't think these are clues... I think they're more of a way to not have a complete silence on the Coldplay-front, to not have nothing going on on Facebook and Twitter for months on end. Just a way to pass the time until some announcement comes our way.

Well, it is pretty normal nowadays to release 2-3 new songs on a Greatest Hits album, so it wouldn't be entirely impossible... I doubt it though, I think they'll wait at least 1-2 more albums until they release one (because no matter how hard they say it won't, there definitely will, at some point, be a Greatest Hits album).

Didn't even know we had an AB topic! I absolutely love his music, and was lucky enough to see him 5 times over the past year :D He's got a great band behind him too... And he's soon starting work on his new album!

I'm seeing them on Wednesday! Really excited to hear Won't Be Broken live :D

6 November: Keane 8 November: The Killers (hopefully :) ) 10 November: Foals with support from Everything Everything 5 December: Travis

Also, new song. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhCgIVQqUGg]Keane - Won't Be Broken (Official audio) - YouTube[/ame]

They've played Citizen Erased and Hyper Music in Mexico, which are rarities, but other than that not so much, right? I saw most of the things on those setlists on the past two shows I saw them...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnd they're really, really not splitting up. Says Tom himself. https://soundcloud.com/dixieandgayle/keane-not-splitting-up

They're just taking a break, for probably a few years, and a lot of people are apparently interpreting it the wrong way. That's all.

I'm not a premium member, and I could enter no problem!

That's just a pile of rumours added up. We've known for quite a while that they're taking a break and that Tom's gonna do his solo stuff, but they haven't officially said anything about breaking up altogether.
