Thanks very much. I read it & I can say it didn't spoil anything for me, it just made me more excited :) In glad I've only listened to Charlie Brown & Hurts like Heave a couple times and none of the others from the live performances!

Thank you so much :) Can someone post a spoiler free version please? :laugh3:

Really? That shows how much attention I pay to Take That :laugh3:

Ahhhh, I'm starting to get impatient! I'll be going to be in 2 hours and I really want to read his/her impressions :laugh3: But I guess the person is at work since it's only 3:40pm in Texas right now, I can wait though :)

I was thinking the could do the Stadium of Light, that's usually the "go to" big venue in the north east, Take That usually do two gigs there on the UK Tour. Hopefully we'll get the boys up north! Thanks for the tip :)

£65 for standing?! That's ridiculous, usually with bigger bands seated tickets are more expensive, i don't know why they've done it the other way round. Also, to the person who asked whether they would come back to England on the World Tour, almost 100% certainly, they've always done multiple legs in England for the past albums

Off Topic: In the email Coldpaly just sent out, there's the competition to win the signed pass from Austin City limits. The email asks for you name and address. That's your home address, rather than email address, right?

Nope, i'm pretty sure that Viva La Vida is my favourite album...

I wish they'd come back to Newcastle, i don't understand why they decided to drop it from the Viva La Vida world tour. I hope the atmosphere at the Crisis gig they did in Newcastle will remind them how good the crowds are. Sadly i'm not expecting them to come back, which means i'll have to shell out on transport to Manchester...

Well, in the Billboard interview Holmes said they were doing a short arena run in Deceember, before doing a full world tour in 2012. So i'm not hopeful that more dates will be added. They've missed Newcastle out too, so that means i'm going to have to wait too, because it's going to be too expensive to go to Manchester and back, plus i have college the next morning. But there is a 5 day gap between the Manchester show and the London show, so they could add something.

Yes, but i was hoping to be able to continue discussing the album, without spoilers, but i guess people will be using spoilers in this thread. So i'll have to read the review and then avoid the thread :laugh3:

Could you maybe do two reviews if possible, one with spoilers and one without them?:) You could start a "Spoiler free" thread or whatever to post the spoiler free review in, i really want to avoid intimate details, but want to know what you thought :laugh3:

Thank you very much, I'd really appreciate that! :)

Can you post a spoiler free version too? I don't want to know the intimate details, like what songs are instrumentals etc & lyrics. I just want to know what they thought about each song :laugh3:

Do you expect the Oracle to just blow out all the information without a care in the world for official announcement? How many major bands do you know of that provide a similar facility as the Oracle? You should think about what you say before you decide to make a thread about it.

Then we would never get an album, they'd just keep perfecting and perfecting it for years. :laugh3: I'm not sure, they could leave EMI when the Mylo Xyloto era has ended, but i don't think EMI can afford to lose Coldplay to be honest.

Yup, as the two other posters have said, the version I downloaded from itunes has the melody in it.

I don't understand why some people are focusing hate on Eno, have these people actually listened to Eno's solo work? he's nowhere near "Mainstream"

How can you be disappointed by something you've never even heard?

Really? i don't hear it, what do they sing?

8 out of 10. Really nice strings and synths. It just missing that special something which would put it up with Charlie Brown for quality this era.

Isn't their contract with EMI up after LP5? I'm sure they were signed for 5 albums. Maybe they will move on, if they choose to stay with EMI, one can assume EMI aren't putting pressure on them to make songs like ETIAW and they're doing it because that's what they want to make. Anyway, I like all the new songs, so I'm happy either way.

Having thought about it. It can't really be that bad, it's not as if they've asked Rihanna to re-write the song, it's still going to be fundamentally the same. If you don't like it, just wait until we get a high quality live rip, because Rihanna obviously won't be touring with them for just one song.

And surprises surprises, John was lying, yet again.
