Major_Love

Hard to say...don't think this is a slow song because of Johnnys epic intro and I'm sure that in the end (7,6,5,4,3) the song is getting faster and louder. But maybe, at the beginning this is a more pure sound...without so much details, just johnny and chris' voice...?! But the guys suprise me again and again. :P

I agree! ;)

Hehe...who not? But tonight...I will love Major Minus... :D :P

Hm I just read some tweets...

What? I just stated my opinion like the one I quoted. That was all. ;)

Yeah, same here...don't believe that this is a slow number... especially in the end the song will be fast and loud. ;)

This vibe of Major Minus is so new for them, so... I can't describe this with words...hopefully you know what I mean...he is so full of energy and power...wooohhhh...amazing!

Really hard to say...because its a bit like there are two different songs. ;) But if I have to decide I would name the live version...besides I love the studio one!

I really like the vocals, really, but firstly I was sceptical, too. ;)

10 points...the only possible choice FOR ME!

Hahhaa...I'm so sure everyone is excited about Moving to Mars but I'm so sure that there will be a huge disappointment because of the studio effects in the song... I really love them, so I'm optimistic. ;) But maybe the disappointment isn't so big because Moving to Mars wasn't played at any festival so there is no comparism.

I'm looking forward to the studio version because I found MM great.

Sorry, but I don't see that the same way.

I think it is beautiful if it fits into the context.

Really, until now I read nearly only positive reactions?! O.O

So guys... now I have to write a post here about everything and I know that this will be a long post because there are so many things we have to talk about, firstly the new single, besides the reaction of some "fans" and of course the general indication of Major Minus. Let me begin with the new songs. I have to say that until 10 PM I didn't hear any of the new songs (except ETIAW) but after the controversial reactions I decided to listen to Major Minus. After the first listening I just thought: "INTERESTING! Clearly I know that I have to hear it a few times... to understand ALL". So the last hour I just listened to MM and thought about everything around Coldplay. In general after these few times of listening I have to applaud the guys because they did their own job, no matter what fans wanted them to do. "Do another Parachutes, do another AROBTTH..." No, they created something NEW! This is very brave but they have to live with the music they do. Don't forget that and it is really boring for such talented guys to remain on a certain level/music. Please, don't get me wrong but now, for me, it is obvious: WE STAND AT CROSSROADES! I'm sure that there are many Coldplayers who will hate the new album and I'm sure that there are some new Coldplayers after listening to the whole album. You may ask why? Because there is a huge difference between old (Parachutes, AROBTTH, X&Y) and new (VLVODAAHF, LP5) Coldplay. Earlier there were only the four dreamy men with their instruments. Just they and their instruments. Today, music is more complex because of more possibilities. But there is still a certain border around "conventional" music. Coldplays music changed dramatically. Look at Sparks or Everythings not lost. There is so much "space" in the recording if you know what I mean. If you look at Major Minus or VLVODAAHF there isn't "space". So the sound of Coldplay is more entire than before and, this is really important HOLISTIC! So, remember, Chris Martin told a newspaper that LP5 has a secret story about two young outsiders who meet under crazy conditions and have to go a windy way together. This is the story behind the songs and each of the songs is another chapter in the storyline and have to fit into the whole thing! For Major Minus the motives are fear, addiction, paranoia, hallucination, prosecution... and this song is so full of them!!! Look at the title - Major Minus - a hint to the general emotion! Then the lyrics, which fits so much! The ticking clock, the steps, the line "got one eye on the wall and one of you" which shows the shizophrenia of the actors! Than look at the general caracter of the song....really harsh, mystic, fast, hysteric, dark... And of course these little details...the different sound of Chris' voice which is perfect for the background of the song. The duet with will...perhaps this shows the paranoia of the actor?! This is what I meant by HOLISTIC MUSIC! Of course, some will say that this is crap, its ok. Some others will say that it is so great how every little detail fits into the context. This is why I strongly believe that there will be a polarisation of the Coldplayers. But maybe we could come back to the point of "conventional music" and borders. I'm so happy that the guys always try to make something new. Really, VLVADAAHF was very lovely, great album but in comparism to Major Minus this album was kind, soft and "easier". The new album is going to be more rockish. Maybe I could explain it by help of a image: While VLVODAAHF there were in the cage with every musician but they achieved a new combination within these cage. But now, they seem to breake out of the cage or to enlarge the borders! I'm really sure that this album is going to be EPIC! Really, EPIC! Yeah...after a while I'm just in love with that song, but maybe I like the live version of rock am ring a bit more...just because of the echo of Johnny! :P (and don't forget, Coldplay live is unbeatable) This song is musically so brilliant...one of the best coldplay songs in my honest opinion. I hope that this song will be on LP5, because it is great. Really, the intro to the song and the verse are mind-blowing, especially the section which leads to the chorus is epic! Johnnys Guitar and the bassline also! I really love the part with that echo until the second chorus, the "softer" part of the song...the instrumential part is interesting! Only the end is a bit abrupt but maybe this fits better into the background. But a special place for the little details of the song! They are so lovely...I like the ones in the instrumential part and also in the section to verse 2. I hear an beatextention...am I right? In conclusion: I'm in love with Major Minus and with the new Coldplay direction (keyword: Holistic music), and now I'm more curious about Moving to Mars then anytime before! Edit: Not often I heard such a powerfull verse of Coldplay! Great! <3

Now I will listen to the first new song (except ETIAW) of Coldplay...I'm really excited because of your twisted reactions. I wanted to wait, but I cannot wait now! ... I'm so nervous... :D

Uuuuiii... my shorts are wet. :D Hahaaa....

You don't listen to Sparks? O.O Go Away! :P

Eeehm...no?!

9PM...so a bit earlier than planned?

Yeah and maybe we could create a chat again ;) What do you think about that?

@All Users and Admins A kind of chat later?! For the radio premiere? This was really funny while Rock am Ring.

Still over 11 hours to go.

Doesn't matters because you are a international superstar of the worldwide community scene. ;) Okaaaay, lets switch over to the topic again. :P
