The Archer

Woah the Jonny riffs are back!

My sides. They no longer exist lol

I'm tempted to stay up and see what happens (Central time US)

He couldn't because he was so overwhelmed lol

I was struggling through homework and when I finally finished I checked Twitter and I was genuinely surprised and ecstatic. December 4 who would have thought? (Honestly too close to the holidays for my taste, but I guess it's the band's early present for us all). I had seriously thought they wouldn't release until like next year, but I AM SO GLAD I WAS WRONG

Yep 2Q2016 calling it right now

Longer than we want means that they're not going to release this year. Sooner than we think means that it won't take as long as their usual album cycle (3ish years). So I'm betting April, May, June range of 2016. Also the Adele hype will have died down. This also lines up with Glasto and the summer festivals.

I've been thinking about those two tweets by Rik. We're going to be waiting longer than we want, but it's sooner than we think. Then he replied to a fan's tweet asking if the album will come before their birthday and Rik replied that it will be out before August. I'm now moving my prediction from November to 2Q2016. If AHFOD is the day of Ghost Stories, then wouldn't it make sense to release around the same month Ghost Stories was released?

Is there a thread somewhere with a list of all the lads' unreleased songs?

Well the lads just won Best Rock at the MTV EMAs!

Like that one Roadie 42 vlog where Chris and Guy were playing the glockenspiel together *Little did we know they were playing a tiny part of their next masterpiece*

Or maybe one of Roadie 42's blogs/vlogs...

Jonny: I don't wanna play that again! Guy: No! Go!

It's all making sense now. They want to make an uplifting album inspired by the stories of people who have gone through extreme hardships. Look at Ms. Clayton and the sponsoring of team Britain.

Storm Thorgerson, when googled, has some interesting artwork. I even spotted a Radiohead album cover...

The lads, or maybe Phil, probably have a cabinet of different plans on how to tackle the release of AHFOD if Adele releases before them lol.. If I was the band I would wait and see how Adele does. In the meantime, record any special songs that come from the Aether/Chris like how Clocks or Up In Flames came to be.

The list is old. I'm pretty sure that rug and the arabic has been there since the Viva era. That painting behind Chris is probably just a painting. We'll know what drums Will uses in the single. Everyone chill. Tranquilo Calma

The day Coldplay sells out/ sell their souls is the day when they don't care about their fans anymore. Instead they keep milking us for our money. The day when they don't support charities. The day when they make it clear that they don't know what the hell they are doing anymore and that they're doing what they're doing because their label told them to. The day they're not friends anymore, but just coworkers. They are far from selling out. In fact, they are one of the most unique bands in doing what they've done outside and inside the studio. And I dare say they will never sell out because it's just not who they are as people.

Gotta love that tack piano and Jonny one note ebow

Yep they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Agreed. Though you can't deny the amount of bank companies make when they announce their pseudo-sales

Most regular Americans? How about the entire freaking nation. I remember the past three years Black Friday has always been on national news due crazy Black Friday related incidents across the country.

I've edited my post. The playoffs start in November. They can hype up the artists that'll be performing at the superbowl and if it's Coldplay then they'll probably hype up for their album. I remember the NFL did buy some rights to some of Coldplay's songs so what's to stop them from persuading them to perform? Most Americans don't take Black Friday seriously?! I can point you to multiple videos on YouTube where people are trampled every Black Friday at Walmarts.

Suspicious... I've been thinking.. November seems too close to the holiday season for me. (I thought the same thing for MX when it released in October) However, it does kinda makes sense BECAUSE of two events taking place here in the U.S. in November. Black Friday and the playoffs for the NFL Superbowl. (which they can hype on who will be playing there) Coldplay has been in talks with performing there for some time. If they release AHFOD on or near Black Friday they are guaranteed massive sales plus the Superbowl gives massive publicity. If Coldplay are to make a comeback, their massive window is in November. I can see a single late October. *also I don't blame ov3la. You're just doing your duty as a loyal fan, but how you worded your statements, I admit, needed some work **Also back to why they need sales and publicity. They need as much sales and publicity boosts because they practically played their MX live shows for free due to the tremendous costs of the xylobands and production. Don't forget they didn't tour GS as well, but spent a couple million in the Sony Studios where they filmed Ghost Stories Live 2014

This song was used in a film with Owen Wilson in it
