I'm still really worried that this isn't real. I know the Official Sky account tweeted it but I got tickets WAY too easily. So excited!

So is this legit or not? I've got tickets and need to be sure haha

Ciaran UK X&Y is the first and only album that has been on in my car since I passed my driving test a couple of months ago. Such a variety of material, but it's all incredible. The euphoria of Fix You. The longing of Swallowed in the Sea. The hope of Til Kingdom Come. This album has got me through a lot of hard times, and will always be one of my favourite albums.

Bracing myself for a low rating for not being Coldplay related :D

For good reason- because they're the first two albums they've defined Coldplay's "sound" and they're the reason why most of the fanbase got into the band's music. They are incredible albums. Perhaps in 10 years time we'll look at Ghost Stories like we look at those two now

Just imagine the fireworks going off in the chorus and a crowd of thousands of people jumping up and down in unison. This will be one of their greatest live songs without a doubt.

Could we perhaps see another Lost? (?) -just to emphasize the question mark haha A version (Target edition?) with just Chris on piano. I get a feeling that'd be incredible. On another note, I have to ask why Will seems to be doing hardly anything on this album. Has he deliberately chosen to play a bigger role in arranging than full-out drumming or have the band just not given him the material to go nuts on? I miss ROBTTH Will- In my Place, Politik, and God Put a Smile to name a few. Feel a bit sorry for him

I love the song, but I don't understand why this is the song that everybody from the studio session was raving about- from the snippet we've heard, O sounds like the best song on the album. Even Oceans is absolutely stunning, but nobody seemed to mention them

Guys it's on now! Radio 1 quickly

Oh my God it's here! ASFOS

This is so different to the live lounge version- the strings are incredible

"It isn't going to be our last record". YES! 2015 release perhaps?

"42 minutes on an emotional treadmill". So it is 42 :D

"42 MINUTES"

"You have to trust the universe."

The whole album is gradually making more sense. It's beautiful

I, like most people, really don't want to listen to the crappily recorded version of this song. But have done anyway. Ashamed :(

Glad you liked the music, Marc! Would you like anything for next episode?

Yes.

I'll do Magic and Another's Arms for you if you want?

Thank you! :)

Hey guys! Here's something I knocked up earlier. Hope you like it!

And also the new position of the piano...not something that I'm sure about at the moment but I guess it showcases the rest of the band more than Chris which seems to be a focus of the new album? Guy doing a lot more, Jonny coming off the guitar for one song and playing piano.

Chris has never been the most consistent when it comes to good lyrics but I'm worried about Ghost Stories going off the 4 songs we've heard now. Love him so much but they sound like a teenagers work. Love the sound though, and the fact that Guy seems to be playing a much more prominent role
