The hate that the album has attracted from "fans" -.-

3-4 more weeks? :O Are they having a laugh?

To be honest, no one really buys a remix album in the hope that the songs will be better than the originals. They want a different take, something fresh and to be surprised. I'm not surprised people look upon this idea unfavourably.

They're one of the most revered bands of the last 15-20 years, actually.

It's sort of 1984, really.

Adele's on his label, that's probably why he remixed Rolling In The Deep.

Don't think Jamie xx would touch them with a bargepole unfortunately. Burial and Flying Lotus are both insanely brilliant.

Did Noel have a hand in that? I'm not sure he did. Though it is my favourite remix of all time. But there are plenty of good remixes, namely Skream's In For The Kill remix, Armand van Helden's Professional Widow remix and Justice's remix of Get On Your Boots by U2. It would be good if there were other versions and not just remixes.

It doesn't require anything, but for other artists to show their take on the Coldplay songs that we as fans like, is a good thing, regardless of the end product.

It's possible... What with Swedish House Mafia's version of ETIAW, the Fedde Le Grand version of Paradise, and connections with Jay-Z, it might be interesting. And who would we like to see remix what? For me, it would be Four Tet doing Up In Flames.

Here are a list of bands/artists that have changed/evolved and have fans who prefer the earlier stuff. Radiohead, U2, Muse, Green Day, David Bowie, The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Blur, Jay-Z, Arctic Monkeys, Gorillaz, Kings of Leon, The Killers, Basement Jaxx, The Chemical Brothers, Air, The Verve, Take That, Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Keane, Franz Ferdinand Unless you want Coldplay to do a Stone Roses - i.e. release two albums and be done with it - I suggest you get used to the fact that Coldplay are simply following what everyone else does. Stop moaning and be thankful that such a gifted band are sharing their work with you.

That totally makes sense, I didn't think of that. It would also explain how Chris can get organ sounds out of his piano on Fix You. Thanks a lot!

This is massively, massively disappointing.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDHEi2Ku13Q]Coldplay - Viva La Vida (Live at Glastonbury 2011) - YouTube[/ame] He's playing it so low down, he can't be getting those heavenly, high string parts out of it.

WHEN is the video out? Does anyone actually know?

He plays guitar on Hurts Like Heaven, do you mean that? I can't seem to hear any guitar from him on MX...

MX? Chris doesn't play guitar on MX...

I don't think song titles and themes are relative. - The Scientist takes place in woodlands, not labs. - Yellow has no yellow in the video at all. - Violet Hill isn't on a hill with violets. - Strawberry Swing is nowhere near a swing. - Lovers In Japan is not in Japan. Just off the top of my head.

Coldplay fought the war and won. On penalties.

I can sense the shit about to go down...

I can't be the only one that's thought this, but have they written instrumentals for the album or have they converted fully-fledged songs?

Vertigo is nowhere near as popular as Still Haven't Found, Streets, With Or Without You, Sunday Bloody Sunday or Pride for me. As for dropping The Scientist... :shocked2: What you have to remember is that Coldplay are so huge and have so many favourites that they can't play Everything's Not Lost for one crowd, then drop it for Warning Sign the gig after. It's unfair to the crowds. When the MX tour comes round, things will likely change, but it won't be a different setlist every night, obviously.

A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam What If 42 Lovers In Japan Strawberry Swing Death And All His Friends I want these songs.

I think you put a great spin on it :)
