I've got to hear this album properly, not on a laptop. This must be the first Coldplay album which I've not rushed to listen to again.... I don't know why.. It's going to take me a few good listens to make my mind up... It does seem there's far too many songs without Jonny on them...??? Hymn for the weekend is by far the worst album track Coldplay have done.... Stand outs for me are Fun, Everglow and Army of one.. I always wanted Coldplay to bring out something fresh, challenging and different from the last, and I applaud them for this.. Will I still listen to this after a year or two... time will tell.. For me... 7/10

To put it into simple terms, MX has good moments, but some poor ones too.. plus it was 3 years ago so everything that's been said doesn't need to be said again, GS was a change and again good moments but overall a bit bland... but I wasn't expecting it, so I'm just happy that we had something

I just want them to take their time and a produce something different from the last one or any of their previous efforts. What I love about Coldplay is they always surprise me. I love all the Coldplay albums, I always listen to them from time to time. I love that their style has changed over different albums and time. They worried too much about criticism early on, that’s why they tried to make the perfect sounding album. They’re not that bothered now and I think you’ll see that in the next album. I love songs like Hurts like heaven and Charlie brown because it reminds me of that live tour and how amazing it was. Bands nowadays have to try and compromise between staying loyal to their sound and sticking with the times.

Opener: MX/Hurts like heaven Closer: Amsterdam

I find it difficult to pick setlists for future shows because you really don’t know how the live shows are gonna pan out. Don’t see Ghost Stories fitting into stadiums, doesn’t have that big stadium vibe like MX did. Coldplay always seem to surprise us and I’m sure they’ve got ideas on how to present this album. I would like to see more parachutes and more AROBTTH as I feel they fit more with GS.

I don't think they should re-release the album with an extra disc with a few new songs! I didn't buy the viva one, I just brought PM ep... It's not fair on fans! New Ep to run along side the comics seems the way I think they'll go! And I hope it has some genuine good songs on it! It makes sense! Can't remember what songs never made the MX, car kids I know almost made it! So we'll see!

I just hope they take their time, put everything they've got into it, and make sure it's nothing like what they've already done!! That includes Paracutes!! As much as i love it, i just want something different every time! And artists and bands should challenge themselves as well as fans!!!

Only 20 songs played?? That's disappointing!! Well you can't really count Mylo xyloto! I don't know what's going on with bands today! Who much for a standing ticket to these gigs?? Probably between 50-70 quid! And u only get 19 songs!!! They shouldve at least played 23-24!!! Theyve got the back catalogue!!! We was getting 19 songs for the rush of blood tour!!!

Paracutes - High speed Rush of blood - the scientist X & Y - talk Viva - violet hill MX - Charlie brown

Just wished they'd dropped princess of china, up in flames and made the three instrumentals in to proper, interesting instrumentals!! And longer too!!!

Good thing: energy and concept Bad thing: over production

For the price of the tickets, and vast amount of songs to choose fro , they have to play at least 22 songs!! Not including interludes and instrumentals!! My ideal setlist would consist of the following: 1. MX 2. HURTS LIKE HEAVEN 3. YELLOW 4. IN MY PLACE 5. THE SCIENTIST 6. TALK 7. PARADISE 8. TROUBLE 9. CHARLIE BROWN 10. SHIVER 11. VIVA LA VIDA 12. UP IN FLAMES 13. VIOLET HILL ----------------------------- 14. US AGAINST THE WORLD 15. UFO 16. HARDEST PART ---------------------------- 17. FIX YOU 18. CLOCKS 19. DONT PANIC 20. EVERYTHING's NOT LOST -------------------------- 21. LOVERS IN JAPAN 22. DONT LET IT BREAK YOUR HEART 23. ETIAW

Positive: I love the vocals on HLH, totally different and I'm glad that it sounds different to the live versions!!! Same with Charlie brown really!!! Negative: PoC just doesn't sound right to me, poor lyrics and I'm not 100% sure on the guest vocals!! Also think MTM would have been better, as someone else on he mentioned!

i think for the price of tickets you'll have to pay and have paid, it only seems fair that the setlist is at least 20 songs long... Para-para chutes: Yellow, Shiver, Trouble AROBTTH: The Scientist, Warning Sign, In my place, GPASUYF, Clocks X & Y : Fix you, Talk VIVA: Viva la vida, Violet Hill, 42, MX: Up in flames, Charlie Brown, MX, Hurts like heaven, ETIAW, Paradise, DLIBYH

That's how us Americans write dates... Month-Day-Year LOL.... Funny americans...
