ETIAWF, MM and MTM wont be on the actual Album?

[foxeh]

Well if they are on somekind of EP or even Single as B-Sides, they will not get on the Album, wont they?

And if thats the Case i kinda like it,
because we get even more Songs before the Release of LP5 :D

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ I don't think they will be. It would be a huge rip-off and disappointment if they were--but with EMI pulling the strings, who knows? :shrug:

[CupitorVeritatis]

Yeah based on past Coldplay experience they wouldn't be...

[the_escapist]

HOPEFULLY not. Nobody wants to buy multiple songs TWICE.

[Bluejay]

HOPEFULLY not. Nobody wants to buy multiple songs TWICE.

THIS.
I must admit I'm kinda scared. Will buy the songs, though.

[Coldplayer1317]

Im not sure, I think at least Major minus will be on the album, and i think it will be the main single, think about it , all the major minus media stuff, the MMM sings in coldplay clothes:

The oracle saying its one of her favorite songs, the lyrics "Got one eye on the road and one on you" in chris guitar.

The fact they anounce it as a "brand new song" (you don;t make such a deal for a simple B-side.

Its more probably ETIAW and MTM will not be on the album, but not sure

MTM sounds like a space - y song with epic guitar rifts and alot of sound, but i think there will be MORE tracks in the US and JAPAN itunes store, and i think ETIAW and MTM will be taken off the album, but talking about MM

I think it will be...

Believe this to be the case as well. Don't think ETIAW or MTM will be on the album.

[86Timewarp]

Even in EMI's time of disppare I hope they don't make us buy the songs twice.

[Coldplayer1317]

Even in EMI's time of disppare I hope they don't make us buy the songs twice.

Oh they will if they can! but i have another theory, that none of the songs in these ETIAW EP will be on the actual album, the actual album will have as singles charlie brown and probably Princess of china.

BUT i think from these EP , another single will come off, and that will be major minus

:laugh3:

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

but i think there will be MORE tracks in the US and JAPAN itunes store


That would be flippin' awesome! :dance:

[Coldplayer1317]

Good im from US ! :laugh3: Lets wait...

[Tryptophan]

I think (though do not hope) ETIAW will be on the album and MM and MTM won't. But that's a worst case scenario. Or maybe worse would be that they will all be included. I'm not buying the EP until I know what will be on the album, I guess.

[Corkus]

:facepalm:

I was going to make a lengthy post about how pre-album EP's drop all the time and how most digital markets don't make you buy the same song twice in those instances, but the above emote basically takes care of everything for me.

Technically, you don't have to buy the song twice (although I'm sure most of us will anyway, because we bought ETiaW back at the beginning of June)

But I think it's just EMI trying to milk as much out of Coldplay as they can. :shrug:

[Corkus]

I know iTunes has a feature where it will let you buy a full album at discount if you've bought some of its songs through previous releases before. With a physical release, though, you're out of luck.
But I think it's just EMI trying to milk as much out of Coldplay as they can. :shrug:
Well yeah, they know Coldplay is basically the one thing that's kept them afloat.

[footyfan10]

I would be very surprised if none of these songs made it onto the album. I really REALLY would not understand the band putting out a single they didn't plan on being apart of the album - by which I mean ETIAW.

If anything I think Major Minus could be left of the album at this point, as even though they've incorporated Major Minus Media into the clothing, it doesn't seem like they'd release two album songs before the album. I expect another song might make references to MM - as Coldplay's lyrics are often interrelated in albums and eras.

I hope MTM is good!

[SueDeNimes]

I just hope that they're doing this because they have so many great songs that they decided for those to be released apart from the album because they don't fit in the new album anymore. :thinking:

Might be their way of giving us more songs. :awesome:

[Brent]

They released Viva and Violet Hill before VLV, and they were both on the album.

I think all three of these songs will be on the new album.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

I think that ETiaW and Major Minus have a good chance to be on the album, but releasing three songs before an album is just too many, so Moving to Mars (I keep wanting to say Mining on the Moon :P ) is out.

[the_escapist]

I really hope that none of this songs will be in the album. Specially ETIAW and Moving to Mars. That way we can get more new songs when LP5 is released. It is true that VLV and VH were released as single before the album came out, but it is also true that by that time, we already knew the name of the album and its tracklist and those were singles of VLVODAAHF, which is not the case is here, because we know nothing about LP5.

[Juanma]

CB MX HLH im like 90 % sure will be on album
But ETIAW MM and MTM maybe its just a preview...

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

. . . I forgot to mention the fact that these songs are being released on an EP before we get so much as a tracklisting or title for LP5. I think that significantly lowers their chances of making the cut. After all, if there are only 10-11 songs slated for the album, dropping 3 (possibly more) songs beforehand would be giving away a third of LP5

That seems very un-Coldplayish to me, unless we're lucky enough to get a double album.

[TyM218]

Why does everyone have to make every song into an acronym...

I understand VLVODAAHF but seriously, MTM? MM? Why don't we all start using C (Clocks), T (Trouble) etc

[admnistramation]

Can we PLEASE just put this to rest? Their status on an EP means nothing but a preview, the band doesn't even have a concrete tracklist.

[Hartroc]

People only use the acronyms in context...it makes it easier to type. Obviously the difference between MM and Major Minus isn't more than two seconds for most people, but who cares...it's just easier.

And people only do it for songs with at least two words...

Please realize it's only to do with context. You don't see anyone referring to What If as WI or White Shadows as WS.

Because no one would understand without thinking...but in a thread about Major Minus or...MM, who cares.

[bdevil89]

I absolutely think at least every tear drop and major minus will be on the album - All these people wanting more are just greedy. Coldplay work really hard to put out quality songs -

The uproar about Every Teardrop being not a good song or quality is funny to read on these forums but personally I think it's a brilliant song that takes a simple chord progression/sample and elevates it to an all out euphoric and triumphant song. It's definitely on the album, and probably one of the anchors for the album (I'm paraphrasing Will's words when they were recording X & Y - He mentioned What If, Fix You, and Swallowed in the Sea as songs that were immediate to him and the band and served as focal points for the album).

So there is no question it is on the album - Major Minus, i initially didn't know about but after listening to it a couple of times, it is an amazing song, Jonny absolutely rules out - what amazing guitar lines and kick ass solo - without a doubt it will be on the album not even to mention that it is on their clothes/uniforms. Though, Twisted Logic was the name of their X&Y tour but was on the album, so... but I think Major Minus will be on the album.

As for Moving to mars - I think this will be the b-side or extra whatever. Didn't fit in with album or theme though space, aliens, psychedelia seems to be themes of the new era so moving to mars sounds like bowie's life on mars title.

Anyway, ETIAW will be on the album despite the detractors - if Will approved it for single status then it's definitely an important song per his tough standards.

[michal91d]

I think that they will be on the album. Why? EMI wants to earn money and sell us the same product few times. This situation reminds me of Foster the People EP [ok, maybe they aren't as popular (big, great etc.) as Coldplay], but in February they released EP with three songs, which are on their debut album. Maybe on Sunday we will know 2/3 of the album?

[hux90]

So the album will have 10-11 songs...
We already know:
1- MX
2- Hurts Like Heaven
3- Major Minus
4- Charlie Brown
5- ETIAW
6- Us against the world
7- Moving to Mars

If every one of these songs appear on LP5, we'll practically already know the album by Sunday. Somehow I doubt that...

[woohoo37]

They said the album is yet to be finished so I doubt this lot will be on the album - they have just put it out for the festivals.

[Miha]

You know what REALLY bothers me so far in this new era? Chris' vocals are NOT very clear! And I'm willing to bet Moving to Mars will be the same thing.....it was ok when they did the experimentation in Rainy Day, but otherwise it just seems the vocals are really low in both mixes, ETIAW and MM. Just my opinion.

[Major_Love]

I think it is beautiful if it fits into the context.

[Strawberry Swinger]

I am starting to think that maybe the release will not be an EP, but the whole LP...is that possible? As a trick maybe?

[Major_Love]

Really, if ETIAW, MM and MTM aren't on the new record then I don't know how big LP5 is going to be!

Especially the last two songs are musically great, ETIAW is very simple but I still like it a lot!

[Jony]

I like the three songs but i hope the LP5 has other songs as great as these :)

[foxeh]

I like the three songs but i hope the LP5 has other songs as great as these :)

It will.

[Cleggy]

The fact that it's being called an 'EP' has me thinking that they're songs that haven't made the album but are being released anyway. It's like Viva Lad Vida/Prospekt's March but in reverse. They're releasing the EP first and then the LP this time round. Bear in mind that Prospekt's March did have a single (LiTii) like the ETIAW EP has a single (ETIAW).

[Steph589]

I agree, if this is an EP, maybe a couple of this songs will end up in the LP, but perhaps in a different version, same as it happened with Prospekt's March, which contained Lovers in Japan and Lost + (though in that case the album came out before the EP). If this is the case, I hope the album will contain a live version of Major Minus. And an acoustic version of Moving to Mars.

[Jack Bauer]

I really wish they would just release the album because first they're hinting at new material during the festivals and then they release this EP, and these songs are gonna be old by the time the album comes out. :(

[nw63]

Or are they b-sides? Because they are definitely a-side material imo

[nw63]

The way that chris' vocals are blended into the mix production wise to me is very reminiscent to radiohead's work in "Kid A" and "Amnesiac". Now I know it's stereotypical to compare the two but to me this is an obvious comparison, and I think Coldplay will definitely benefit from it. It shows they're willing to experiment while sticking to their roots of pop anthems and ballads, and their latest 2 efforts have thoroughly impressed me in quality of everything from vocals-songwriting-instrumentation-experimentation-production and I expect big things from the album, particularly from a critical standpoint.

[tesseract]

If 11 songs will be on that album here my wish list:

1.
2.
3. Moving to Mars
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. Charlie Brown
11. Us Agains The World

[Blue Glisten]

I hope Hurts Like Heaven will be in :heart:

[Coldplayer1317]

NONE OF THE 3 songs are in it, 11 brand new songs

[toddbluezoo]

Echoing tesseract's post my hopes for LP5 goes a little something like this..

1. MX
2. Hurts Like Heaven
3. ???
4. Major Minus
5. ???
6. ???
7. Us Against The World
8. Princess of China
9. ???
10. Charlie Brown
11. ???

and I don't think ETIAW or Moving To Mars will appear on the final tracklist (but if ETIAW my bet's that it'll be the last song)

[Open, Politik]

NONE OF THE 3 songs are in it, 11 brand new songs

How are you so certain?

[Coldplayer1317]

How are you so certain?

I dont want to sound like a "the Killers" fan here (because I am) , but , "somebody told me"

[vinch]

I dont want to sound like a "the Killers" fan here (because I am) , but , "somebody told me"

Who? Do you know people who know the band?

[Jack Bauer]

1. MX/Hurts Like Heaven - Don't think they'll make MX it's own track because that 2. ? would mean two instrumental intros in a row 3. Major Minus especially since MX is only 20 seconds. But wouldn't it be
4. Moving To Mars cool if they stuck the Back To The Future theme in there?
5. Princess Of China
6. Us Against The World
7. ?
8.?
9. ?
10. Charlie Brown
11. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

If MM, MTM, and ETIAW aren't on the album then they'll still be great songs no matter what+we get 3 brand new songs. Just my take on things. :)

[Miha]

@Coldplayer1317 - if you're right this is EXCELLENT NEWS! I have my doubts though - I'm quite sure at least Charlie Brown will be on it - Anchorman has said multiple times it will be a favourite for fans one day, along with Chris who said that about multiple songs at Glastonbury.

So, my opinion is Charlie Brown will be on there, along with Princess of China. Two out of 10/11 ain't so bad, if we haven't had a decent mp3/m4a to buy before the album release.

[Odvan]

I dont want to sound like a "the Killers" fan here (because I am) , but , "somebody told me"

That would be great.
Also songs mixing suggest it wasn't perfect work, impeccable quality we know band likes.

And you know i might sound like jerk, but I also think Charlie not a big hit, at least Yellow, Clocks, Speed of Sound, VLV calibre. Perhaps I need listen studio version, for me it's on the same level with Major Minus - good song.

[rpindacity]

I agree, charlie brown is great but its not up there with the coldplay classics. Its to repetitive and predictable. Anyways, COLDPLAYER1317, your sure even charlie brown wont be on there?

[Coldplayer1317]

He know more than I do, that is for sure, but I think he knows what he is saying, he seams to have a good source...

[admnistramation]

Balls to you. If anything, Charlie Brown will be the only thing people remember from this album.

[coldplayisawesome]

its not up there with the coldplay classics. Its to repetitive and predictable.

but Yellow's not? Clocks isn't? Fix You? The Scientist? none of these are repetitive or predictable? :P

[I(L)U.F.O]

ALL OF THEM BUT ETIAW WILL

the album has at least 14 songs, the setlist has not been confirmed yet, but major minus and moving to mars are there for sure. and MX and HLH are the opening tracks while MTM is the closer for the album

the recording for the MAJOR MINUS video, starts next week, because it will be a single, it is in the space, they have pretty weird but cool ideas, they will record it after rock am ring

ETIAW video july 7 (FACT)


HITS , for not saying to much...

CK ....... Golden A I(L)UFO I(L)CKMX PRINCESS OC

and again, the most important term for this album

CK

do not think it as two letters, think it as a sing

CK

The artwork, ooo the artwork its done, and it is nothing like the MM, MTM and ETIAW artworks, its totally diferent, and the album as you already know has the name i have already said 1000 times...

hints

monday morning, WEDING BELLS, and expect a surprise because of "Spanish Rain" being the secong single, this a posivility, that is not confirmed yet, but it is for sure on the album.




CK

[Bluejay]

CK

Oh, c'mon! Wedding Bells and Spanish Rain? I don't believe that for a second.

[Juanma]

Dont why they are banning users, the only thing why I can think is that its true!

[mrman78]

I think ETIAW is likely to be on there, but it seems kind of out of place with all the other songs we've heard, so maybe just a one-off single like CL? I would like MM to be on there, but not sure if it will since it's techically the b-side to ETIAW. Almost certain MTM will not be on the album. I think that's an album reject they tacked on to the EP. I say almost certain though, since no-one really knows!!

[Jack Bauer]

Well if he was just throwing his opinion out there it would be harmless but i think this guy knows something that's why they've banned him.

[Imke]

Well if he was just throwing his opinion out there it would be harmless but i think this guy knows something that's why they've banned him.

His original account is not banned. If he has any info to share, he can do that with his original account. We do NOT allow multiple accounts.

You've been trolled.

[admnistramation]

He was blatantly lying and selling us a load of shit, leading us all on. Like hell the band would associate themselves with someone who's going to leak every bit of information in advance, they're smarter than that.

[Jack Bauer]

Alright well false or not everything seems to have died down so I guess we should just wait until July 7 which will be the judgement day. But here's a thought: maybe the etiaw video really is coming out that day and mx or coldplaying.com or whatever knows that and built everything else off of that? The way he sort of said "well i've seen the video, do you believe me now?" sorta led me to believe that's the one piece of info that's true and when it really happens everybodys gonna think that this guy was telling the truth about everything all along.

[the_escapist]

or maybe the mods are doing what mods do? banning trolls? its not a conspiracy bud...

Maybe both! But who knows these days...everything is secret! Even the health of Hugo Chavez!

[Juanma]

The thing i dont understand, with so many spam threads in Coldplay section, and no threads are deleted,they deleted 2 of a guy that puta coldplay lp5 info

After ETIAW release there were created like 100 stupid useless threads and not one was deleted

[jc90]

no one deleted anything. the thread is locked, you can reread this fairytale if you want. if the story was true it wouldbe deleted but i agree we should be locking more useless threads

[rpindacity]

@coldplayisawsome - i see what ur saying. I guess all of those are pretty repeptitive, but with charlie brown i just think they should have added more to the song than the riff. I dont think it can carry the whole song all the way through. They do add a bridge, but i dont fell like it adds much to the song and isnt nearly as good as the riff. I guess i think its just kinda empty, but still a great song

[coldplay.com]

ONLY MM AND MTM WILL

[SueDeNimes]

or maybe the mods are doing what mods do? banning trolls? its not a conspiracy bud...Thank you! At least one person who got it... :botoxlips:

[RWLover]

I think they're using ETIAW to warm people to Coldplay again... Viva was 3 years ago, so they need to be 'reintroduced' in some way. I'm pretty sure it will be on the album, as (in marketing terms) it would be ridiculous not to put your big hit single on your new album. I think you should consider the 'EP' now released as a way to put out an extra album track (Major Minus) for people to get to know that song as it's played during gigs, and to put out a new b-side (Moving To Mars). So I'm saying ETIAW and MM will be on the album, MTM isn't. And the other songs they're playing live (MX/HLH, UATW, CB and maybe also POC) will definitely be on the album.

[Imke]

or maybe the mods are doing what mods do? banning trolls? its not a conspiracy bud...

[macky]

I actually have no problems with ETIAW, MTM and MM to not be included on the album. That means we'll just get more new songs.
And I think it's "stoooooopid" to put songs that are already everywhere in the most anticipated album of the year.
And the fact that I won't have to buy the same songs 3 more times (because you now I'm going to buy 3 copies :D)

That said, I hope Moving to Mars is on the album but I have a feeling it won't be. ETIAW is on the album as it has been referred to as "a track from Coldplay's upcoming album" in various advertisments

[admnistramation]

You spelled buffoons wrong and the advertisers know just about as much as we do, they're just twisty. :wacky:

[Fix42YellowClocks]

Moving to Mars is so incredible it's hard to put into wordss!! I kind of hope it will be on the album even if that might mean one less new song.

Major Minus is awesome and I'm not sure whether or not it should be on there. It's a toss up for me.

Every Teardrop is a pretty good song although I don't know that it should be on the album. Maybe it should stay a single/ EP as it is. That being said I read someone saying it was like the BEP and other commercial music? I don't see it. Epic guitar. Finally a bass i can hear and an incredible one at that. Love the falsetto in the parts Chris uses it. All it needs is a little bit better lyrics and less synth I think ;P

Anyway, it's not really that commercial. There's barely even a chorus. And why the sudden backlash? What about Lost! ? There was a freaking hip-hop (sorta) beat on that sucker. I mean way more original than most but all the same. Awesome song but just saying. That's far more commercial than anything i can see in this song. And the collab. with Jay-Z? If people think they're going commercial i think they're missing some important things Coldplay has done in the past. Then again that beat thing is also just my opinion. :)

And they're still not collaborating with anyone. Besides maybe the guy with the Pierces who I've never heard of so they can't be that commercial I don't think? They didn't bring in Timbaland to produce. Or Swiss Beats. They didn't hire lyricists to write their lyrics. So you know what? I'd say they're are definitely clear of the commercial bit as it stands. And I'm glad of it. :) Sorry. I always do long posts. It's a habit. :P

Moving to Mars is so incredible it's hard to put into wordss!! I kind of hope it will be on the album even if that might mean one less new song.

I think the only times they will do commercial music when it's a collaboration is when they are collaborating with someone they are closed to, and not just set up with. I mean, they collaborated with Jay-Z, Kanye West and Michael Stipe, all of whom he speaks to sometimes or is fond of. Just my opinion though =P Plus, it doesn't really seem like they are going too commercial either way, Every Teardrop may seem commercial to some people, but it's something they probably felt like doing for the heck of it, just for it to be exciting. Look at Major Minus, Moving to Mars or Hurts Like Heaven, I don't think any of those are too commercial.
