So I gave in... but it's a FANTASTIC album. Really, very impressed. My favourites so far are This Isn't Everything You Are, The Garden Rules, Life-ning and New York. The latter two left me speechless - so simple, yet so brilliant. Called Out In The Dark is actually one of my least favourites from the album, despite being first single! I'm only not keen on The President and Broken Bottles Form A Star so far, I don't like the way they close the album and it all goes on a bit too long, to be honest. The Symphony would have been a great way to finish! But maybe it will grow on me... 8/10 on first listen, probably will go up by the time my CD gets here. :)

Must... resist... temptation... to... download... leak... If Amazon delivers my copy late, like they did for my Mylo Xyloto CD, I will not be happy.

They played The Symphony tonight on Radio 1... pretty good, but not feeling it quite as much as the other songs they've released. It goes on for a bit too long, I think. Anyone else hear it?

Haha, I couldn't. I'm not good with temptation, haha. But if you have managed to last this long, five days is not that long at all... soon we will all have Fallen Empires!

New clips :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akWEBXiRbXg]Berlin[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtG4uhibCQ0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL]Life-ning[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9JgfYJwOrA]New York[/ame]

New York, which was played on Radio 1 tonight... WOOOOOW. :D Same response to Life-ning!

Oh wow, I didn't know they were the album of the week! Cheers!

Only in live form, I think [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Tqz_Abv0g]Life-ning (live)[/ame] but the band haven't posted a clip yet. That one's track 8 and they seem to be posting them in threes (except that tracks 2,4 and 6 (COITD, TIEYA and Fallen Empires) are already out there) so I'd guess there'll be a clip about this time tomorrow. :)

If anyone does want to spoil themselves with some clips (even if it is coming out Monday), track 5 (The Garden Rules) is up now, in addition to the 2 I posted yesterday :) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF0MLW5kyc8]The Garden Rules[/ame]

Some clips! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vMuK0ptO7Q]I'll Never Let Go[/ame][ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho74Rif_Hgo]The Weight Of Love[/ame] SO EXCITED.

I've mixed the instrumentals and their following songs together, as it feels weird listening to one without the other. For the top few, I also added pre-album number of plays, which is why Major Minus (my least favourite) is still so high. ETIAW - 105 (71 on EP, 34 on album) Major Minus - 99 (68 on EP, 31 on album) Paradise - 93 (38 on single, 55 on album) MX / Hurts Like Heaven -70 Charlie Brown - 70 Us Against The World - 62 AHT / DLIBYH - 47 Princess Of China - 45 Up In Flames - 37 U.F.O. - 28 Up With The Birds - 27

UFO as a rock song? WANT.

yarp.

Well they're playing the whole album, with interviews in between, so I would imagine it'll last about an hour and a half, at a guess.

Awesome: Mylo Xyloto / Hurts Like Heaven Charlie Brown Us Against The World A Hopeful Transmission / Don't Let It Break Your Heart Great: Paradise M.M.I.X. / Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall Princess Of China Up In Flames Up With The Birds Good: Major Minus U.F.O.
