^ I've been thinking the same. Based off what we heard from Moving to Mars, I think Coldplay will incorporate a little bit of every era into this album. The acoustic-y charm of Parachutes ---> Us Against The World The brilliant lyrics of ARoBttH ---> Moving to Mars and possibly Major Minus The synth-y backgrounds and riffs of X&Y ---> MX/Hurts Like Heaven The unique instrumental sounds and lyrical themes of Viva ---> Princess of China

Agreed. I wonder how it'll go over when they open the Olympics next year? :wink3: (assuming they're chosen for the honor, which I'm 99.999% sure they will be) That is going to be one freakin' huge stadium gig.

Mmm . . . eh, I'd say 50% or less :shrug: CB, HLH and possibly PoC will make the cut, while UAtW will be a b-side. Major Minus, Moving to Mars and ETiaW won't make an appearance at all. But, it's all just speculation at this point, isn't it? ;)

Debating about crazy album theories is so much fun xD

:lol: The penguin one is great!

^ Well that would be nice, even though I CAN'T FREAKIN' WATCH IT! :angry: *takes deep breath* Maybe some wonderful person will stream/record it? :rolleyes:

^ Yeah . . . . the only Apple product I have is an iPod shuffle :rolleyes:

^ Wait wut? *is confused* :facepalm: I always get Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens mixed up. And no, I have no idea why :inquisitive:

^ I wouldn't believe any website claiming they know about LP5 unless it's coldplay.com itself that comes out with the announcement. I remember there were a lot of websites back in 2010 that claimed LP5 was definitely going to be out by Christmas. And it obviously wasn't :laugh4:

^ The only thing that might work is finding a UK proxy for your computer, or finding a separate live stream online somewhere

Well maybe, that is. . . It's never actually been confirmed as the first single

THAT'S why whenever I think of Great Expectations I think of Sherlock Holmes! :P That's been bugging me forever . . .

Uh-oh. I can't watch it on my laptop either. When I click on a performance a warning pops up that says 'this computer does not support iTunes live streaming' :uhoh: Anyone know how to fix this issue? EDIT: :facepalm: I just opened the player via the iTunes website and it says that the streaming is only available for residents in the UK :bigcry:

Good luck getting tickets, guys! We need to get as many Coldplayers into that gig as possible :cool:

I don't hear any similarities either :thinking:

^ Oh yeah . . . forgot about that one :P Love In A Lethal Dose 1000-1 Arabesque

^ Harbingers of Doom sounds kinda cool, but my favorite title so far is Love In A Lethal Dose :wacky:

:dance:

^Yeah, although I can't see why they would name a song after him. They already have Sweet Marianne, which is a tribute to Will's wife. I'm betting it's an acronym for something

^ Do tell :dozey:

Great Expectations - Yep. Sounds cool Hook Up - eh . . . yeah, I have to agree with you It Was A Wonderful Day - :lol: I thought the exact same thing! Gardeners On The Frontline - Uh . . . I have no idea. :whaaat:

:surprised: Possible gigs meaning that LP5 is getting very, very close . . .

^ Maybe. I think that the melodies are planned out by all the guys, though. Or maybe they each think of a small part of a melody and piece it together? For example, I think it was Guy that wrote the violin parts at the end of X&Y . . . :thinking:

^ I would think that Jonny has written 99% (if not all) of them. Although I suppose that most of them are dictated by the lyrical structure--which are probably created by Chris. So in other words: Lyrics --> determine Beat --> determines instrumental structure (i.e. Jonny's riffs, Will's drumbeat, etc.) So Jonny writes them, but I'm sure Chris, Guy, and Will have some part in it.

:lol: Because debating is so much fun! :awesome: I'd say UAtW has a 50/50 chance. If it doesn't make it, I'm thinking it will be a b-side
