To be honest, I don't mind the background...but the bubble font is terrible. I too prefer the plain MX cover.

Bono's voice used to be brilliant. New Year's Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride, Bad, With Or Without You, Red Hill Mining Town...I'd like to see Chris sing any one of those. Plus, U2 has got FAR, FAR better lyrics. And so, so many classic songs. Sorry guys, but for now U2 > Coldplay. Come back in twenty years, we'll have this debate again.

The King of Limbs was awesome. But no, not a 10/10. :laugh3:

Hope you're right. I like the vocal effects on Major Minus, but the mix still needs some touch-ups (like the band continuing to play behind the guitar crunches).

TRACKLISTING!!!!!!!!!!!! :dazzled: Except that they haven't even finished it yet... :(

:nod: :nod: :nod:

Anyone care to translate? I'm too lazy. :dozey:

I also really like (most of) Charlie Brown. In my scarecrow dreams When they smash my heart into smithereens I'll be a bright red rose combusting the concrete Be a cartoon heart

What are your favorite lyrics from the new songs/album so far? I've got to say, my favorite lyrics are from a track we haven't even heard yet. It's on the album cover. :smug: The two of us, we drove A speeding ghost and a shadow Luminous the road to the sea We swam from the shallows To bottle lightning’s glow Where we’re gonna run, God only knows

OK, so list of possible songs is as follows: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven Paradise Charlie Brown Up in Flames Princess of China Car Kids Up With the Birds Major Minus Moving to Mars Us Against the World Every Teardrop is a Waterfall U.F.O.? Xylobrytes? Luminous? Under 1 Roof?

I wish the font had been: MYLO XYLOTO instead of: MYL OXYL OTO

I agree. Moving to Mars and Major Minus are the overproduced ones...As for ETIAW, it wouldn't sound good any other way. :\

It seems unlikely that two words from a song would get so much attention. Besides, Car Kids was on the list of possible LP5 songs back in 2010.

My prediction: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven Paradise Princess of China Up in Flames Charlie Brown Us Against the World Major Minus Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Car Kids (It's on the cover) Luminous Alien Radio / U.F.O. Plus one more track we haven't heard yet.

So we know that the following will probably be on the album: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven Charlie Brown Princess of China Paradise Up in Flames Us Against the World Major Minus Every Teardrop is a Waterfall That leaves four tracks. Three, if they decide to include Moving to Mars. I predict that they will include Alien Radio and Luminous! :3

Strawberry Swing and Life in Technicolor. Possibly Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. The rest are just...ugh. :sick:

Violet Hill: "...I don't want to be a soldier, who the captain of some f***ing ship would stow, far below..."

Whoah whoa whoah...Chris said something...and it's actually happening!?! The world's turned upside down. :freak:

Sorry Coldplay, but: #1 - Radiohead :nod:

Twelve is my lucky number. :dazzled:

You know, I'm all for utilizing obscure smilies...but what the hell is this for? ---> :socks: :laugh3:

Muse is terrible, with the (possible) exception of Absolution and the first half of Origin of Symmetry.

Nope. Haha, maybe "hate" is too strong a word...I just consider it a lyrical atrocity. Plus the music is boring and extremely repetitive. If you're going to have a riff repeated so often throughout a song (even during the bloody solo) then at least make sure it's one that never gets old.

:hug:

What If is one of the worst Coldplay songs. I would be happy if it didn't exist. Other than that, the songs on X&Y are mildly ok (Swallowed in the Sea, The Hardest Part) to pretty great (Fix You, Talk, Square One)
