I wasn't counting LiT or Postcards or The Escapist as songs. If that was the case it'd be 24 or so which isn't at all accurate. Muse do 16 songs each night and that's terrible and inexcusable. Despite having slightly longer songs than Coldplay they still only play for 90 minutes. Muse are not a good example in terms of playing time, song numbers or setlists. Coldplay manage to do all of those better, despite not being great at it. I don't know about the exact times but I'm hearing that VLV shows went for close to two hours? They should be doing that at the bare minimum now. Either way, they're still playing shorter shows and there's no excuse for that.

there's nothing (except themselves) stopping them from playing a longer set, with all the hits, and lots of deep cuts for the 'hardcore' fans too this set is a step in the right direction in that it has deep cuts like Daylight and What If as well as the big hits, but there's no excuse for playing shorter sets than last tour. the VLV tour had 21 songs at most arena dates, 19 isn't too bad (could be much worse) but 21 should be the bare minimum considering last tour

due to some union issues or something, musical acts on SNL can't have their own teams mix the sound and the sound team on SNL are notoriously terrible at mixing the musical acts something like that - pretty much the mix on SNL is always horrible

wait there's people who seriously think it'll get a 9.0+ from them? I voted that as a joke. it'll definitely be less than 5.0 VLV got a 6.9 which is high for a Coldplay album and there's no way this will top it. they'll write a very negative review

it'd be easy to make a 'Radio edit' of Hurts Like Heaven that shortens Mylo Xyloto/removes it completely so that's no reason they won't

Charlie Brown and either Hurts Like Heaven or Don't Let it Break Your Heart will be the last singles.

'staging and lighting' is no excuse. Radiohead had an elaborate light show on the In Rainbows tour and still played a different set every night.

whoops, accidentally voted for Hurts Like Heaven instead of Paradise

I think it's 'and now the streets are ours and we're writing the same'

http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7608 here Chris mentions that UFO was the first song written for this album and that he's reused the chord progression for other songs Wedding Bells is obviously one of those

I saw Chris say in an interview that UFO was the earliest song that made it to Mylo Xyloto and that he used the chord progression from it for many other songs because he liked it so much. Wedding Bells seems to be among those.

I wish it went for longer, it ends far too soon!

pm please

that doesn't mean it was 'leaked' who 'leaked' it then? the radio station? unless they played it before they were supposed to it's not a leak

it's only a 'leak' as such if it's released unofficially without the band/label's permission
