moar Viva Or Noel Gallagher, as others have suggested :wacky:

Well said! I agree wholeheartedly.

I have nothing against pop music. Granted, it's not really my cup of tea, but I can understand the appeal of it. I'm just getting a little worried that it may start overwhelming a band that *is* my cup of tea. The boys may pleasantly surprise me and pull off a fantastic poppy album (if that is indeed the direction they wind up going for this one; with all the talk of making it happy and bright, that's what I suspect), but until then I'm going to stay wary and try to be excited that WE'RE GETTING A NEW COLDPLAY ALBUM SOON GUYS!

There are very few artists which I would actually be happy to hear are collaborating with Coldplay . . . Rihanna definitely isn't one of them, especially after Princess of China :(

Based on Guy and Jonny's interview with Jo Whiley, it sounds like they hope to have it completed by the end of 2015 :shrug:

^ The book was fantastic, so I have high hopes for the movie as well!

We're all entitled to our opinions :hug:

Holy crap if this is what LP7 is going to sound like then I'M SUPER PUMPED :wideeyed: ^ Although I agree with Diego, a *perfect* album would have all those rocky songs too . . . I just want another Yes / Violet Hill!

I think they were referencing that the intro of DaaHF used to be the intro to Rainy Day and that the original title for it (DaaHF intro combined with RD) was "School."

^ I agree, and Chris's comment about wanting this to be an album people can "slide their feet to" has me a little worried that they're heading in that direction.

1. VLVoDAAHF - To me, this is and always will be the most perfect album to ever exist. Every song is so diverse, but comes together in a way that is just mind-blowing. I listen to this album more often than any other by any artist, and it still hasn't gotten old. This was Coldplay's peak as far as I'm concerned, and each of the guys were at their absolute best. The story is fantastic, the songs are fantastic, the era was fantastic. 2. Ghost Stories - Some people say this album is pretty cheesy, but the only song I find cheesy is ASFoS :P I love the rawness and honesty of the lyrics, and I love that it kind of mashes together each of Coldplay's eras into one album. Maybe it's just because I was going through a rough time relationship-wise when this came out, but I can really relate to this album. That being said, I don't particularly care for Magic and Ink, but if they were swapped out with Ghost Story and All Your Friends, this one would be a lot closer to perfect for me. 3. ARoBttH - I know, I know, how dare I put A Rush third :P Honestly, I love this album basically as much as the first two, but someone had to come third. There are a few songs that for some reason I just don't care for, even though I know lyrically/musically they are great (Green Eyes, Warning Sign). It does include my all-time favorite song (A Rush of Blood to the Head) and the song that first made me fall in love with Coldplay (Clocks), so even though this album may not come in first place, it's still pretty special to me. 4. Parachutes - This is where the albums go from "I can listen to the whole thing and love it" to "I can listen to most of the album and love it." I love most of the individual songs on Parachutes, but if I listen to them all in a row I get bored a lot faster than with the first three albums. It's still one of my favorites, but I definitely listen to it less frequently. 5. X&Y - Now things start to get kinda negative. X&Y has its moments (Swallowed in the Sea, Twisted Logic, White Shadows, Talk, A Message), but I feel like this album is too "cluttered" for me to enjoy listening to it straight through. If the guys had pared it down to 10 songs or so instead of the 13 it has now, I would definitely listen to it more often. 6. Mylo Xyloto - This is really the only album that has two songs I truly like (Major Minus and UWtB). To me, it sounds like they were trying to make Viva II and went in the wrong direction stylistically. The lyrics aren't all that good, and the overall sound is just too pop-y for me. My favorite song from this era isn't even on the album :P EDIT: Added some elaboration :P

I like it . . . Although I hope Chris is just being Chris when he says this is the "end of something" EDIT: Okay now that the original excitement has worn off . . . Not my favorite title in the world, but oh well :P

Not terribly impressed by the lyrics, and the whole song sounded a bit boring and repetitive--although I did love the bit after 3:15. We'll see if it grows on me :P 6/10 for now

^ And a killer bassline :wacky:

My guess is late February / early March for our first single :nod:

^ The same. When we just had the live versions, PoC was my favorite of the bunch . . . and now it's my least favorite :/

^ I believe it's called "Catching Fire", not "Chasing Fire" Nice job, Spotify :P

Well no, it'd be insanity to expect them to please everyone, but from what I've read Atlas is being reviewed positively more often than not

Not only that, but all of Coldplay's recent one-offers seem to be following the same style. The band should take the hint that this is the style seemingly everyone likes :P

:wacky: I'm usually not a fan of lyrics videos, but asd;glasjikhd'

I loved the video, so I hope so . . . but yeah, if the song isn't connected then most likely not :P

nO this is not okay i was not prepared for how amazing this song would be Gah. The only songs I've ever given a 10/10 to are Clocks and Strawberry Swing but oh my God I think this is another one

The "gauzy production" bit has me a bit worried . . . . . . But the rest sounds awesome :awesome:

This :awesome:
