ok heno, theyre playing these festivals 1) because when they made these plans they thought the album was coming out in may as locust said, and 2) summer is the best time to play shows so if theyre not touring then they HAVE to play festivals. its simply about money in that case. and locust is a reliable source, he didnt just hear violet hill, he heard just abou the entire album. he also new when everything was coming out. he clearly has some sort of source. he hasnt lied to us before so why would he tell us he KNEW what was going on this time if he didnt? how can we not believe him? its like if he ran into a village and said "theres about to be an earthquake!" and everybody was like "ya right"...then theres an earthquake! then he runs into the same village a couple years later and goes "the volcano is about to erupt!" and everybodies like ".........screw u, u were right last time and ur always right about everything but i think ur makin it up this time!" so.....

i think its naive of us to take any of what locust says as false

anyone else notice Phil in the top row? maybe its not him but that is what i saw almost immediatly

were gonna make him do ode, right?

thats not a cliche, thats a stereotype. cliches are old ideas that have been so overused that theyve practically lost their strenght and old wise meaning....he says after googling it to make sure hes right...

well who knows when theyll start touring. i mean phil said itd take longer than usual but now who nos, it could be immediate...

theyre going to release it on the 42nd tuesday of the year! October 18th...thats a complete guess but if locust is right, and he usually is, itll be out in october. albums come out on tuesdays, and that gives me a 25% chance of being right :D

ya i think im gonna save my money and just get one version of each, thanks for ur input!

ok well here would be my question, tell me what u guys think: when youve got once version of a release, do u need all other versions of the release to have a complete collection, and do promos count as the single? cause ive got the violet hill promo but it doesnt have lost? and the build up at the beginning is cut off (fine by me...) but i already have lost? on the lost! promo....so ya. btw, theres a guy that keeps selling 5 promos each time his sales end, i bought 5 promos from him (violet hill, LiJ, VLV (no death will never conquer :( ), lost!, and the scientist so if u guys need any of those u could get them if u want cause hes selling them again. but i wouldnt recommend the scientist cause it doesnt have 1.36 or i ran away. here

haha thanks. but idk what they really mean by starting over. when they say they start over, maybe they just mean theyre throwing out all those songs in the B and C pile and starting a new batch of ideas to get more songs for the A pile. I mean, i can hardly see chris ever truly starting over and just letting all those great ideas die. O, and i think famous old painters sounds great because of 1. the name, and 2. ill take phils word for it....and i was obseesed with wedding bells when it first got played

THIS! cmon, coldplay have probably written masterpieces a few times over in the past 3 years. and now from all these masterpieces theyre constructing one MEGA-SUPER-ALBUM!!!!! RAAAAAWR! um.... look at the songs theyve thrown out! famous old painters, wedding bells. ah dang that list was shorter than expected. but still i think itll be great! have faith guys!

o ya...well i dont no either but i really wanted to be like jacob in the season 5 finally when hes talking to the man in black on the beach and the man in black is like "ur still trying to prove me wrong arent u?" and jacob goes "u r wrong"...so i really just wanted to do that. if u didnt watch lost then this meant nothing to u....but watever... honetly though i do think u will be wrong, i mean i dont want to soung like a blind fan again but i mean ITS COLDPLAY!!! they could be playing with 6 piano keys, 2 guitar strings, a bongo, and a rock and still make better music than most of the world. i just trust coldplay to not do something bad, i dont think theyve ever failed us in the past and i agree with approximatelyinfinite that this all just means theyre taking theyre time and being careful. only time will tell though

i would love if he did like a Q&A thing for a while where he just can disregard any questions he doesnt wanna answer and answers other questions as vaguely as usual. i wonder what he does when hes not posting his one post of the month. does he have another account, does he just read our posts and laugh at how colplay-noobish we are, or do u have no need for a fansite when ur like the most connected to teh band fan EVER?

first time in the hype for me too, but after borderline stalking locust7, to see who the flip this coldplayninja was, (btw ur real frist name and old username are still out there...just saying since u seemed to not like that) and the hype looks SOOOOO cool! like apparently this guy leeked almost the entire album onto here before it was out. and locust: if u could give us ur two cents on what theyll play this summer itd be greatly appreciated! :D thanks for the info btw!

u are wrong

id like to think that they only get better....cause i love all of the albums but i see it like parachutes started off the awesomeness, then it got better with AROBTTH, then they made some mistakes with X&Y (which they learned from though) (holy sheesh, fix you defines X&Y!) and then they got even better with VLVODAAHF, so it makes me happy to think that LP5 can only inevitably be the best so far i do not think viva is a pop album.... LiT- instrumental (not pop) cemeteries of london- (too darkish to be pop) lost!- still good lyrics i think but alright u got me there especially with the JayZ version but thats cause chris and him are great friends! 42- to creepyish to be pop LiJ- ok thats a little popish but how can u not like the song! yes- too dark for pop viva- i think the lyrics are incredible but yes it is pop violet hill- that is rock/democratic strawberry swing- just a happy song...its got too weird of a sound to be pop death and all his friends- awesomeness

theres still tons of things to talk about! were not even done with the grain food group yet! but then again i think weve beat the fats and oils food group to death over at the loldplay thread...

i love cereal with milk but i hate milk...once it hits the cereal its a completely different thing! our skills to stay on the task of talking about coldplay on coldplaying.com are impeccable... anyway...dont u think its weird that after reading that question, Debs might come on here and see what were talking about and tell Guy the next time she sees him about the stalkerish photo (no offense), the terrible "Guy" puns, and all our freakish coldplay obsessioist talk?!?!?!?! i do a little...

no sir, honestly i like all these titles....so screw the rest of u!

my friends ipod. that doesnt seem random but hes like a heavy metal kind of guy and i dont think he even knew i liked coldplay he just but it on. but the song was the most random one especially since its my least favorite, Easy To Please. i was like wtf?! obviously he just accidentily stummbled upon it on limewire because it had X&Y for an album cover

ur going insane for LP5?! oh ya? well i was already insane before i even new about LP5, so ha!

even better that guys account is named "chump"...and rightfully so, someone should post on that and make sure hes actually kidding though. cause as unlikely as it is....I WANT INFORMATION ON LP5!

if this were real then itd be awesome, i dont mind what the title is but i suppose magic times isnt great

ode to deoderant for the opener at glasto! wait...

i tried special k for the first time today, did not like it, then i said "stupid berryman, try some good cereals like fruit loops :D" then i stopped talking to myself...
