1) Viva la Vida 2) A Rush of Blood to the Head 3) Parachutes 4) Ghost Stories 5) X&Y 6) Mylo Xyloto 7) A Head Full of Dreams

Urgh where do I start. 9 new songs really without the pointless instrumentals. Some songs sound too similar to older Coldplay songs. Amazing Day sounds like a cover of a much better song. So much of it sounds familiar. I felt Ghost Stories was a step forward from the disappointment of M.X. But that album is still much better than this failed disco of an album. A lot of it just sounds like the music teenybopper kids would make in their bedroom. If Coldplay released this after Rush or Viva it would have damaged their career. But as commercial music is so terrible, samey, uninspired....these days it just fits right in. Thank God Radiohead has an album out hopefully next year. At least they try and make good music and aren't bothered to conform and aren't afraid it won't fit in on commercial radio playlists. Viva is still the peak of their powers for me. I'd like to hear the demos from this album before all the over-production. End of rant but at least we have the monkey video!

I really want to hear an acoustic version of this :)

Maybe album 8 will be a stage play split into two parts ;)

Yeh I just checked and that surprises me. I wonder if Chris introduced it as a new song or even the title. Bearing in mind most of the audience probably aren't Coldplay fans. They replaced Elton John at the last minute I recall.

Because they cut to a close up of the Banana piano and I knew it was obviously a cue card of some kind so I rewound it back and discovered it was a set list for the show. Coldplay were at the top of the card.

That is just the host's questions for Coldplay. The other card literally had the play list on the whole show on it.

it's the card on the left (out of shot!!) must have been before Chris Martin got to the banana piano or after....damn

No it had both songs listed in the same way the other bands had their songs listed.

No sorry I just paused the TV when the show was on and took a quick look. Besides I'm sure on somewhere like twitter you could find out 100%. But I remember because it's the title track.

What's that?

7th Album is the final contracted one right?. So if Coldplay leave I can see the label releasing a greatest hits in 2016/2017. Parlophone did the same with Radiohead which at the time they distanced themselves from.

It's 'A Head Full Of Dreams' ....how do I know? It was written by the Banana piano on a card listing all the songs the bands were going to play on that show.

Have a feeling LP8 will be a Greatest Hits with a few new songs on it.

Good spot. They knew it all along then?

According to Wikipedia the first track is called 'undetermined' ....another instrumental opener?

More 'A Head Full Of Screams' rather than Dreams so far.

Probably already posted but 'The Magic Whip' is a fine come back album by BLUR.

Yeh MX is the only album that makes me glad I have a skip button.

Silicon Of India featuring Nicki Minaj and a limited ass shaped edition CD please. But all seriousness 'Disco Shoes' has to be the lead single right?

.

.....an elevator to the top of the world baby! :nod:

I'm not listening to the live tracks yet as I'm gonna wait until the album leaks. I did this with MX and it kinda ruined listening to the album for the first time considering I had already heard most of it before.

Glad the album is likely to be delayed until next year. The two new songs are so dull and predictable. I think it maybe time for U2 to do a REM. Take some risks U2!!!!...like the old days. Forget about trying to be the biggest band in the world, make the music you want to make and not what you feel most of the public will like.

Halloween. + I gotta feeling LP7 will be coming sooner rather than later.
