LP5 Predictions

[drhouse4b]

So what do you think? i believe this will either be the very best, or the very worst album. Jonny could become one of the premier guitarists in the world after its all said and done, i'm really exited and i'd like it to be Wednesday already:sunny::dance:

[Juanma]

just :dance:

seems is gonna be awesome :D

its a more "mature" coldplay :wacko:

[Technicolor Liver]

I hope Jonny gets his time to shine! :D
Every album he gets better and better! :awesome:

[Hartroc]

I think I'm going to like it, but it's going to fall just a tad short.

Hope I'm wrong.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Chris's best lyrics yet, though. As a melodist, he's pretty much already reached perfection.

Edit: I hope they mix the tracks in a way that we can actually hear Guy. :P

[Technicolor Liver]

I'm also hoping for some new instruments! :D
Like how on VLV, they introduce the dulcimer and bongos!

[Juanma]

oh please,a part of a song sing by Will :D

[Gabi]

I hope I wont have the same feeling that I had when I listened to Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends for the first time.

And don't want a new style, I just want to hear Coldplay as they are, making me feel so happy and satisfied..
Sorry, I cant explain my feelings when i hear them..

[Strawberry Swinger]

I am hoping for a darker tune, or a couple of them, to be honest... Something like "A whisper" (yes i happen to love that song) , "Yes", "Daylight" ... something like that, dark,twisted...maybe even a bit more hard rock than their usual...

And some real nice heartbreaking ballad like The Scientist...

But then again, I just want them to be true to themselves, make the music they like, not what people expect from them.

[Juanma]

^ so you want a rush of blood to the head? :lol:

plus yes :D

[Hartroc]

Some real rockers would be nice.

My dad complains that Coldplay's music is all too mellow...that you can't dance or rock out to their music. Lol

[Megalomania]

Some real rockers would be nice.

My dad complains that Coldplay's music is all too mellow...that you can't dance or rock out to their music. Lol

Coldplay need to make music you can mosh too. :P :lol:

. . . but not really. That's not their style, and as soon as they force a style it's going to sound awful. :P

So I'm not really going to speculate, I'm just going to sit back and wait for whatever they make.

[Gabi]

you can dance or rock with almost all VLV album! specially with lost! and viva la vida!

I like songs with beats!

[Strawberry Swinger]

yeah VLV is pretty upbeat compared to their previous albums...

OK, put it like this - I want them to do experimental stuff, but not tasteless.

i think they are doing that :)

take your time boys! :)

[Hartroc]

I think Coldplay are defenitely capable of it, they just need to stretch a bit. Not a bad thing, because you only become better if you push yourself. If you remain in your "comfort zone," you'll never get stronger.

[Technicolor Liver]

I WANT HEAVY METAL COLDPLAY!!! :evil:

[Gabi]

HAHAHAHHA I just cant imagine a heavy metal coldplay!!

[Megalomania]

I WANT HEAVY METAL COLDPLAY!!! :evil:

Keep dreaming! :P

Kanye West is more likely to be a Christian folk singer than Coldplay doing heavy metal. :lol:

[Juanma]

YouTube - Trouble version rock - Sound test Coldplay HQ

:drummer:

I do..

[Technicolor Liver]

Go Will! :dance::lol:
Yeah that would be cool to hear something like that! :awesome:

[Juanma]

they can,they just dont want it :D

[Hartroc]

See, their capable of it. :3

[Gabi]

hahaha I had forgot this trouble rock version!

ok, just one heavy metal track.

[Paulinha coldplay]

I love that part of the extras! :wacky:
I want more guitar in the new album, I want more songs like White Shadows, One I Love, Daylight, Square One!!! :guitarist:
I want an album more ROCK!

[Technicolor Liver]

Hey Chris did say that this is Jonny's album or something like that so who knows? :D

[Paulinha coldplay]

Would be perfect!!! :awesome:
Let's go Jonny, I wanna see your guitar working very hard on this album!!! :guitarist:
I wanna see you breaking guitars! :laugh3:

[Destrokk]

They'll probably change but still be Coldplay, I imagined something like A Spell A Rebel Yell, Goldrush, etc.

Songs that go WAAANNAAAAKAAAAWAAAANAAAAA And all of them singing and it's going to be a lot of a acoustic, but still that Coldplay feel.

[Technicolor Liver]

NO I WANT HEAVY METAL!!! :evil:

[Destrokk]

No.

[alejolo]

I want them to take further the exploration they were doing with Viva la vida and just to have fun with the music. To not try to hard , and to not let the pressures make them go in one direction or another.

i want experimental coldplay , i want them to keep developing their own sound dont want them trying to copy other bands or doing heavy metal or doing rap with kanye and jay :\

I want upbeat songs in the next album , wierd instruments and wierd and happy sounds , such as LIT II or straw or viva or lost . But i would also like some guitarr songs such as violet hill and a piano driven ballad , just for the nostalgia you know :wink3:

[Destrokk]

^ Yeah, that would be nice.

I also LOVED LOVED LOVED the acoustic version of Lovers in Japan. So I hope the do something like that too, Spanish Rain sort of sounds like the same style of it.

[Hartroc]

I want some songs I can dance to.

The Killers style.

And better lyrics.

[ryanm]

I think it will be more intense than Viva, but not as "big" sounding. There are certain songs you listen to on Viva and you think "that song is meant to be performed in front of 50,000 at a huge stadium." If I had to put my money where my mouth is, I would bet on LP5 being as risky and experimental as Viva, but more stripped down, raw, and intimate.

[HandyAndy136]

I want a song I can sing to.
I want a song that can send chills down my spine the first time I hear it (not necessarily the same song ;))
Not really sure apart from that :P

What I do predict is that, from a receptive and public point of view, the album won't be the success of Viva or Rush of Blood. But to me, that'll be a good thing; X&Y and Parachutes, considered amongst most to be their two 'least best' albums, are my favourites. Rush of Blood and Viva, considered amongst most to be their best, are my least favourites. As they chronologically alternate between not-so-great and awesome (in my eyes), and the last one was a not-so-great, I'm betting this'll be my new favourite, but won't be most people's.

Prove me wrong, Coldplay. Make it everyone's favourite. I dare you.

[lndnsky]

Some real rockers would be nice.

My dad complains that Coldplay's music is all too mellow...that you can't dance or rock out to their music. Lol

I think your dad and my dad would be best friends, at least when it comes to Coldplay. :D


As much as I want it to be old Coldplay, I actually just need a new ablum. As Chris himself said that its inspired by taking chances and speaking for your self I think I'll like it.

And I doooo hope that we'll finally hear Guy singing, but its highly unlikely. :uhoh2: (I even think he is not that good in singing) but shhhhh about that

[The Champion]

lol. But Guy sings a lot ; O In White Shadows, Death, and the rest of the choirs. Even in Chinese Sleep Chant. But I want all of them to sing too, especially Will of course, cause his voice is the best.
And well, I don't have any wants.
I just can't understand some of you. Why do you worry about everything?
I want to dance, I want to sing, I want lyrics, blah blah blah.
It's Coldplay, right? We love everything about them.
I trust them absolutely so I don't have any expectations, because anything they'll do will be good, and it'll contain all their thoughts, emotions and souls in it.

[axe]

i hope it will be like parachutes and arobtth, not like xy o viva

[Crests]

I BET IT WILL BE BY COLDPLAY

[.:VivaLaVida:.]

I hope it will be more 'raw', not overproduced in any way, if that makes sense. i.e. more like parachutes than viva.
But whatever they come out with, it'll probably be amazing :D

[Gabi]

^ Yeah, that would be nice.

I also LOVED LOVED LOVED the acoustic version of Lovers in Japan. So I hope the do something like that too, Spanish Rain sort of sounds like the same style of it.

I LOVED the acoustic version too! Actually I love most of the acoustic versions, I would not care if they release an album just with acoustic songs!

[doritji]

The fact that they said they kind of banned the piano again, made me think of X&Y again. But i honestly believe it'll be a VLVODAAHF part 2

[footyfan10]

I think whatever LP5 is, it's going to be the album that either elevates them to all-time greats status or keeps that at just a great band for a period of time. They've already proven their great, but I think this will be the one that either turns around the frowns of everyone whose shit on them or it'll be more of the same. As Coldplay fans, I'm not sure it matters to anyone here what the outside thinks. I could care less.

I loved VLV but part of me isn't sure where Coldplay go from there. I don't see them reverting to Parachutes style. I don't see them going back at all to be honest. I don't think they should at this stage of their career. I don't want to think they've come full circle. Their circle should be huge!

The fact that they've brought back so much of VLV producing crew is, to me, a great thing. I think that will keep them trying new things. Sometimes new doesn't always work, but Coldplay is that rare band that I think can find someway to balance artistic intent and genuine songwriting skill.

I really want this album to be the album where the guys really just blow people away. Where they put a sock in all the mouths of people who've been less than kind in the past.

Who knows how it will sound. I'm sure it'll sound like Coldplay.

[Technicolor Liver]

Am I the only one who doesn't want a raw groupy album? :confused:
Personally, I want a more experimental album but with stadium anthems!

[footyfan10]

Am I the only one who doesn't want a raw groupy album? :confused:
Personally, I want a more experimental album but with stadium anthems!

No! You're not! I am just the same. However, I think there are certain studio things they can do to make it seem "raw and groupy" like material from the Viva era. Adding studio sounds and just generally being less tight with certain production I think can give it a rawer feel. This as opposed to X & Y, which I think was very tightly produced.

But you're definitely not the only one who feels as you do!

[Technicolor Liver]

If they are going with the acoustic thing, then I'm hoping the songs will be in the style of "Prospekt's March/Poppyfields" which is probably my favorite Coldplay song.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

I'm pretty convinced they'll never top their first two albums for me, personally. I don't think they'll ever really revert to that kind of style, and maybe they shouldn't, but as excited as I am for LP5, I know LP1 and LP2 are pretty untouchable for me.

What I really want is a back-to-basics sort of record, with two guitars, a piano, a bass, drums, vocals, and that's it. I tend to think that simpler is better, and it's so much better live when they can easily replicate everything with four people.

I just feel like they've gotten really...grandiose since AROBTTH, and that's fine, but I feel like they're an entirely different band than they were. I kind of miss the simpler songs with more personal lyrics rather than the "wall of sound" kind of stuff they've had going on for their last two records with abstract ideas. I still LOVE them despite all that, and I do really like the last two albums, but if they really wanted to absolutely blow me away again, they'd examine their roots a bit and try to reinvent them simply.

[Alejo_Scientist]

I'm waiting one song sung by Guy...it's time of hear just him singing

[Technicolor Liver]

Two things:

1. I don't think they should try to recreate the first two albums because they are so legendary and if they tried that sound again it would be trying to hard.
2. I don't see how that acoustic sound is possible with Brian Eno! :P

[Phoebeo]

YouTube - Trouble version rock - Sound test Coldplay HQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG3_493wYOM)

:drummer:

I do..

This is so cool :awesome:

I want trouble to be like that :wacky:

[Saketblitz]

As the release date is getting closer, the things are becoming further unclear. This time around the hype that was for 'X&Y' or VLV has died down. Previously everybody used to know a year in advance when coldplay is coming out with a new record but this time around things are a bit quiet (I AM TALKING IN RELATIVE TERMS).

I wonder how Brian Eno let Chris Martin name songs like 'Hurts like Heaven' and 'Every teardrop is a waterfall'... Honestly they seems very umm... Pop sounding songs, not Rock.. Pop. I hope I am proved wrong on this one.

Personally, I want the boys to continue in VLV style (with great improvisation ofcourse) and produce a 'Joshua Tree' when the world least expects them. I am waiting for their Joshua Tree.... They day they do it... They are legends...

[drhouse4b]

I think the music itself will be alot better, like that xylophone duo sounds really cool:cool:

[MlLeMelly]

It would be nice if Guy sing a little :)

[Rabbit]

I'm just too excited for words. Any Coldplay is good for me!

[JackZ]

I think I'm going to like it, but it's going to fall just a tad short.

Hope I'm wrong.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Chris's best lyrics yet, though. As a melodist, he's pretty much already reached perfection.

Edit: I hope they mix the tracks in a way that we can actually hear Guy. :P

OMG INR! i can never here him unless its a song like daylight....glad its not just me...i hate seeing him play and not even being able to here it at all!

[JackZ]

i just love every coldplay song ever written, i guess i sort of want some awesome acoustics or really nice songs like the scientist and maybe a little bit of songs that are fun and upbeat like strawberry swing or cemeteries of london...i dont care what they do, its coldplay so of course theyll be amazing! wish everybody else felt the same...

[nouratan]

i just don't want the atmospheric feel of viva on the new album:shrug:
and i want the bass stronger and louder on it too

[axe]

i simply think that there will never be another parachutes, and never another arobtth, and this makes me a little sad. But it's true, maybe they shouldn't make another parachutes or arobtth..

the only thing i WANT is : PLEASE PLAY MORE PARACHUTES AND MORE AROBTTH LIVE! WE MISS THEM! :)

[Major_Love]

Hey guys, maybe you can help me.
What do you think Chris Martin means with "guitar-y" and "group-y"?

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

I'd say that means more Jonny and more whole band stuff, perhaps singing, to make it less like "Chris Martin and his backing band." Not that real fans think that's how the dynamic of the band works, but I think casual listeners and haters do...maybe this album will help it not seem that way? :shrug:

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

I BET IT WILL BE BY COLDPLAY

Take a leap of faith. :)

[a2iel]

Im sure whatever they do will amaze me. I have a feeling we'll hear more complex beats & clever rhythms mixed & the songs could have a more acoustic feel. What I would love is a double album, with a full instrumentation A side & all songs played acoustic on the B-side!

[*MX*ColdplayObsess3d]

Give me anything Coldplay-created and I will see it as wonderfully amazing. There is nothing Coldplay can come up with that I can bring myself to hate (besides Yes). I think the new album will be brilliant.

[iPsy]

What is wrong with 'Yes'? :shocked2:

[ivet]

~hope it's not shite~

[coldplay_is_louve.]

I think it's going to be really different. Again. And I think I'm going to love it because I've never hated anything those four plus minds have produced.

[*MX*ColdplayObsess3d]

What is wrong with 'Yes'? :shocked2:

I just don't like it. I just don't.

[The Champion]

Oh I love you.
As I said before ANYTHING THEY'LL DO WILL BE GOOD and I just CAN'T HATE ANY COLDPLAY SONG. Well, but Yes is the exception. I don't know what is it about! I don't like this song, it's...hard to explain well. Um. Looks like I'm going to repeat your words. I just don't.

Coldplay-Yes= %100 pure awesomeness

[Hogy]

I like Yes. :(
Stop dissing Yes. :cry:

[The Champion]

Yes (lol), but we don't. It's OUR opinion.

[Hogy]

I know, I know. I was joking. Diss it all you want.
I love it anyways. :heart: :nice:

[Gabi]

I just don't like it. I just don't.

I cant stand Yes too.. terrible song..

[Cyan Kat]

Yes is probably my least listened to song on Viva :\

I want LP5 to be like what Chelsea says simple like parachutes, it's my favourite album and I really love how the simple lyrics mean so much.
I really hope that LP5 doesn't go too pop music-y , I want songs that are more intimate sounding.
I mean I'm sure however they make it, it'll be great whatever direction they head for.

[Bluejay]

I predict it will be awesome.[/useless comment]

[AnnaElisabeth]

I agree! I actually think we might get what we want :wacky: Christmas Lights kind of feels like it could have been on an evolved Parachutes. I mean, it does sound Viva-esque but it's really simple and pretty at the same time. Of course it's a Christmas song and might not be representive of LP5 but one can hope! :heart:

That's pretty much exactly what I'm hoping for as well. Hopefully they won't be afraid to keep things simple.

[drhouse4b]

I Just noticed Guy's got the Paul McCartney style Vox bass in Christmas lights, the guitars are going to be so much better in this album

[Hartroc]

Honestly, I want some more deep lyrics. Parachutes is awesome, but lyrically...it could be better (just coun't the 'Singing out's). From what I've seen, I think Chris has it in him to be at least on par with Joshua-Tree-era U2. Simplicity is good, but it gets tiring after awhile, you know?

And I kind of like "Yes." :/

[QuestionsOfScience]

I Just noticed Guy's got the Paul McCartney style Vox bass in Christmas lights, the guitars are going to be so much better in this album

VOX BASS???? I'm almost 100% sure Macca's bass was a Hofner. But maybe Guy's is a Vox bass...your possibly more eagle-eyed than me :D
But yeah, I was really happy to see that!

[pilan1988]

Hopefully that this album will show jonny at his best! I'm sure he can do a lot better than we've heard till now!(not that it's been bad) ...
he just needs a bit more space ...

[Famous Old Painter]

I'd like to be completely wrong here, but I'm concerned the new album will see them go deeper into safer more radio friendly light-rock territory. Christmas Lights and many of the VLV outtakes backs this up for me. Whilst I enjoy songs like The Scientist and Yellow I wouldn't like an album full of songs like that. They need to do something that isn't immediately accessible, darker, heavier, more experimental and just generally more fucked up. Not nessassarily "heavy metal" like another poster suggested, but certainly more stuff in the vein of tracks like Cemeteries Of London, Chinese Sleep Chant, White Shadows, Rainy Day etc... Obviously given it's Coldplay, it would be strange of them to put out an album without any softer ballads but that said I don't want it to be the be-all-and-end-all. The last thing I want is a quiet acoustic album full of happy summery radio friendly tracks, but I just fear that's the direction they're heading in. We don't need another Parachutes. Again, hope I'm proved wrong.

[ViVA Child]

I partially agree.
...but at the same time not.

I think a more stripped down acoustic, simple album will be a welcomed breath of fresh air after the commercial onslaught of Viva.


But at the same time I would like to see songs that take a few listens to "get"
because I quite enjoy songs that take a while for you to work out the meaning.
Its nice to sometimes have to really think about a songs meaning to understand it.... I like the challenge, and when done correctly it gives the track a sort of integrity.
White Shadows was a great example of this methinks.

I also see no reason why they cant have all of the above.
A more stripped down album with some lighthearted songs but also some deeper tracks as well.
And an experimental sound doesnt neccisarily guarantee a good album, ..Viva proves that.
I'd rather they be less experimental and have songs with more heart to them than experiment more with their sound at the cost of the quality of the songs.

[Hartroc]

...an experimental sound doesnt neccisarily guarantee a good album, ..Viva proves that.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but 'Viva la Vida.' is not an experimental album. It's slightly different from what Coldplay has done in the past, but it's still undeniably them. Just because they made use of some new instruments, it doesn't make the album experimental. They just expanded within the boundaries they set for themselves.

Kid A and it's twin, Amnesiac...Those are experimental albums. I know a lot of the people on this board dislike Radiohead, but rest assured I'm not implying that these albums are better than Coldplay (although I must admit. 'How to Dissapear Completely' and 'Pyramid Song' are both beautiful pieces of music, some of my favorites). I'm merely making a point that 'experimental' implies experimentation; trying completely new things just to see how they turn out. So far, the only Coldplay piece I have seen like that is 'A Spell a Rebel Yell,' which, even amongst hard-core Coldplay fans, didn't bide too terribly well.

I'm not bashing Viva, either. It's one of my all-time favorite albums...

I just think it's safe to say that Coldplay will always be Coldplay. They may expand their borders, but they will never truly experiment, in the sense of the word.

[VIVA.42]

I hope it the album has the sound of christmas lights i love the sound of that song i can already tell its gonna be one of my favourites of all time!

[germencl]

I've been waiting this album for so much time

[footyfan10]

every time i look through threads like these i'm just amazed by the variety of interactions people have with coldplays music.

in criticizing the viva era, some people say it's radio friendly and other people say its experimental. sometimes people same them at the same time!

if coldplay's greatness can be found anywhere, it's in their ability to bring together lots of different musical appetites to the table.

i'm happy now because i think the food we're going to be fed, if not in outcome but in the way it was cooked, will be to my liking.

[footyfan10]

Knowing that Jon works with Coldplay on LP5 I'm sure it will be amazing. Just listen to this track - the main theme from Monsters the film :)

[Bluejay]

Chris said that Jonny was ''coming out of is cocoon'' in this new album. I really hope that one day we'll also hear Guy doing it, because even though he plays the bass very well and all, he's never singing, like the others, or having a solo.

Yes. This just made the VLV, ending and opening it, as a travel through many music styles - for me vlv songs were very various.

[drhouse4b]

No offence to Mr.Eno but i hope Jon put in more work than brian

[anacaren08]

Hmm well I hope they don't try to experiment too much either, though who knows, that could bring out something amazing. :thinking:

Im just nervous that experimenting will lose what coldplay is. I kinda like that they keep a coldplay sound throughout their work.

Linkin park has been doing some different stuff than what they did initially but now I feel they lost the soul of what they were. I don't want that to happen to coldplay :(

I knoww what you mean about Viva. I think its great and I liked it but...I thought they could also do better....there I admitted it!:embarrassed: :lol: , oh well it still has some great songs.:D

[VivaDaylight3]

I think more Daylight, Clocks, Shiver and Don't panic. The same kind of songs would be right up my street for a new Coldplay album, and I hope they release a load of singles and Ep's.

[Juanma]

i just want it now :bigcry:

[Chloe_Martin]

i would like to hear a solo of will singing but then that might mess up the album coz if ur listening to Chris' voice the whole time then Wills it might throw you off especially for non coldplay fans that are listening. I would also love to hear more of jonny

[laga]

I'd love to hear more of them singing too! I don't think it may mess up the album if it's well done. In Parachutes, you can har Jonny singing "Don't Panic" quite clearly and I bet non-coldplay fans did not even notice :laugh3:

[right_rhytm]

like it will be not too far from Parachutes..

[nouratan]

I'd love to hear more of them singing too! I don't think it may mess up the album if it's well done. In Parachutes, you can har Jonny singing "Don't Panic" quite clearly and I bet non-coldplay fans did not even notice :laugh3:

[xxKels]

I love ASARY ,as well as CSC- hope they do more along that line (oh, including 'Yes"...swoon ! )

And I agree, I'd rather have more Hopkins influence than Eno....though I could not stomach another Hopkins show as an opening act !
Also- would LOVE to have a good song with Will doing the vocals, great voice he has.

[Drew42LP5]

It will be another 10 track album

Two tracks will have two songs

Track #6 will be the hit song

The opening track will have lyrics

Four singles

No song over 5 minutes, of course both two song tracks will be over 5

A few nights ago it came to me in a dream.

The title of LP5 is...

Majestic Night

and the first single off the album is called...

The Abyssal Queen

The tracklisting was, as follows...

1. Up With The Birds
2. The Abyssal Queen
3. Princess of China
4. Wedding Bells
5. Famous Old Painters
6. Under His Elixir
7. Under Her Elixir
8. Hurts Like Heaven
9. Escaping The Rainstorm
10. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
11. Lightningrod
12. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall ii

And the album cover was really bizarre. I can't explain it except "woodcuts" and "graffiti."

[coldplayisawesome]

does this mean that "Under His Elixir" will be a hit song, then? :P

[Juanma]

Haha :p

Last night I also had a dream. I was chatting with Will & Chris and they told me the name of LP5. It was one word. Starting with the letter "N". A very strange word. They also told me the name of the first single but I can't remember.

With a picture of Johnny eating cake as the album cover?

WOW.Just.WOW.I too had a dream about LP5.

They were in a huge stadium with thousands of fans and they were cracking jokes (I can't remember them but i remember i laughed at them ) and they revealed that it's title would be
"All Alone on Planet Earth" or something like that anyway and the album cover was a photo f a person really weird you ca't make him/her out fully because there's no head. :shocked2:

[Alien Radio]

^Definetely not. No Me Llores was on Chris' guitar during Viva La Vida era. Now we're moving to LP5 era, so that can't be a song from LP5.

Now that you say that . . . where did we hear that bit of info? :thinking:

Now that you say that . . . where did we hear that bit of info? :thinking:

Further to the November 2010 Q article[2] revealing the inspiration behind Coldplay's fifth album being old school American graffiti and anti-Nazi movements, Chris Martin spoke to The Sun about some of the tracks within said album.
Aside from song titles beginning with the letter U, Chris revealed there are tracks slated for inclusion on the album including Hurts Like Heaven and Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, which will likely be the album closer. Describing the sound, Chris added that guitarist Jonny Buckland is coming into his own. He said: "'Hurts Like Heaven' is all Jonny. It only has two chords. The songs are group-y, its guitar-y. Johnny is coming out of his cocoon. We're just trying some risky things."
Chris said: "We're hungry and very fired up. In five years we'll be in our late 30s. You have to have your best work done by then. I'm trying to make sure there are three songs that start with the same letter. On the last album it was L. It might be U this time. One of them is Up With The Birds. It might be a duet, but we don't know who with yet."

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ Okay, thank you :nice:

[Coldplayer1317]

^ Okay, thank you :nice:

no worry ;)

[admnistramation]

I can't see them doing that. Given that Chris is still now writing, he's bound to have chosen/will choose a better outro. I can see it as the second-to-last, but certainly not to conclude the album with.

They've always ended their albums with something very low-key. Coldplay records are like a bell curve, with the fastest tempos spanning the middle of the record.

Generally speaking, that is. X&Y was kind of bipolar.

So if ETIAW was the closer is would certainly be different. I don't think it will be though.
