Is this Major Minus that you're talking about, or ETiaW? :thinking: 'Cause Major Minus is awesome :awesome:

That's what I thought, but the guys haven't actually confirmed this. All of these discussions are just up-in-the-air theories as of now.

^ I have no doubt that some of them will appear on the EP, but I doubt that they're b-sides. Why would the guys play b-sides live, thereby promoting them over the actual album songs?

I don't know about a physical CD, but you will be able to download it digitally via iTunes

Hopefully. Also, sometimes iTunes has a 'finish my album' feature that will give you a discount on the release.

^ But some artists come up with 'Album Versions' of songs, which might be what Coldplay decides to do, seeing as some people will be buying EtiaW several times

^ Gravity FTW!

THIS.

^ I'm not saying that b-sides are bad songs (well, Coldplay's b-sides aren't anyway :P) but generally: A-side > B-side And if it were put as a b-side to ETiaW then it would instead be: A-side < B-side

Wut? But I thought . . . this is . . . I don't even . . . GAH! :freak:

I think my head is going to explode :freak: I'M SO CONFUSED!

You must be excited, since this is only your 5th post in as many years! :lol:

^ If MM was only recently demoted to b-side status, then Chris must be writing some freakin' epic songs :awesome:

^ Well, any song written around the LP5 era will have similar themes carried across in its lyrics. Even the b-sides of Viva had the war/life/death vibe.

^ I'll just quote someone from another thread here . . . Why would they have Major Minus Media written all over themselves if it wasn't going to be on the album? :shrug:

Nicely done :nice: Now I'm fairly certain that this release is either a double a-side or an EP of some sort

Now I'm gonna be disappointed if we don't get at least 15 new songs from this era :shifty:

^ Yes, yes! Play it at Glastooooooo!

I love how for a little while we were all so sure that the title of LP5 was gonna be Major Minus and now we've done an about-face and now no one thinks that :lol:

Yay! My favorite from the new songs :dance:

^ Yup. I'm 99% sure that Major Minus is no longer the title for LP5

For a second there I thought I had missed something and there was a song called Every Siren Is A Symphony :lol: :freak: I don't know why they do this to us . . . is it supposed to generate more hype, cause it's sure doing its job!

So . . . if Major Minus turns out not to be a b-side and this is an EP sort of thing . . . does that mean it'll get its own video and artwork if it becomes a single? :thinking:

I think the guys like confusing their fans :freak:

My thoughts exactly. But then we get back to the point of Major Minus--I think it's the best of the new songs, but maybe, based on the reaction it got from the festivals, the guys don't think it's all that good and are deciding to drop it from LP5? I hope they aren't basing their opinions too heavily on the reaction of the crowds :uhoh:
