LP5 Is Currently 85 Minutes Long (Interview with Will and Chris after Glastonbury)

In the interview with Jo Whiley on BBC 2 after the show, Chris and Will confirmed that it's currently around 85 minutes long, that they "never know when a record isl finished" and that it's their "summer project".

:)

[the_escapist]

release it like that!!!

[Osaka Sun]

Someone's gotta post the interview online. I can't believe they're doing this right now.

[Twisted mind]

Someone's gotta post the interview online.+23453456456!!!!

[86Timewarp]

Ahhhh

[Violet]

release it like that!!!

Goodness no! As much as I love long albums, 85 minutes is way too long. I don't think it'll even be an hour long, honestly.

[fauo_1995]

That would be cool, but probably full of crapy songs :P

[Violet]

^ Exactly. You've gotta exercise some quality control. I'd much rather have a shorter album full of great songs than a longer album with mediocre songs.

[86Timewarp]

What if it turns out that they were great songs? Songs like Goodnight and Goodbye, Famous Old Painters, and Wedding Bells (Even though it was worked in with Christmas Lights)

[DundahMifflin]

Double album, perhaps?

[Chloe_Martin]

Wheres the interview

[kittybitty]

I'll take all 85 minutes and not complain once. Not once.

[Fix42YellowClocks]

Shouldn't this be in the LP5 section? Just a thought.

And i would absolutely love that. Incredible really. I mean I don't think you can go wrong with Coldplay- there's never "too much" as far as I'm concerned. If this interview is confirmed and everything, the only thing I'm wondering is if Chris/Will said that seriously or tongue-in-cheek because you know how they can be sometimes. (; And wouldn't it HAVE to be a double album in that case? I thought a CD could only hold 80 minutes of music.

[shipoffools]

I think they should release it online, like Radiohead.

And make it a double album. That would be epic!

[Megalomania]

Quality>quantity.

Cut it down, Coldplay. Release the cut songs on an EP later if you really feel like it. :sweatdrop:

[NumbersGirl]

Keep in mind it came out of Chris' mouth. Chris.

Really it's just a tongue-in-cheek way of saying we don't know what we want on the album yet, we've got to narrow it down before we finalize it.

It will not actually be 85 minutes. That's more than 2 x 42.

[Brent]

I liked Viva La Vida in that it was to-the-point and a single, cohesive and layered masterpiece. I don't think they'll make another X&Y, which was kind of long.

[busybeeburns]

Keep in mind it came out of Chris' mouth. Chris.

Really it's just a tongue-in-cheek way of saying we don't know what we want on the album yet, we've got to narrow it down before we finalize it.

It will not actually be 85 minutes. That's more than 2 x 42.Will said it!

[EdPlay]

What bout Wedding Bells? Any news on it? I didnt hear about it since ever. Its kinda nice.

[Cyan Kat]

What if it turns out that they were great songs? Songs like Goodnight and Goodbye, Famous Old Painters, and Wedding Bells (Even though it was worked in with Christmas Lights)
Songs won't just be thrown away, we'll likely see some of them as B-Sides.
I seriously couldn't handle an album 85 minutes long, an hour can sometimes be too long depending on the sorts of songs.

[rudy_o]

Quality>quantity. :sweatdrop:
:nod:

[givelovesolong]

I'd never turn down an 85-minute long Coldplay album, but I'm certainly more for quality over quantity. Although, Coldplay is yet to do anything I don't like, so.

But yeah -- I'd rather a refined, fine-tuned, finished album.

I'm convinced it'll be an October release now, if I wasn't already before.

[woohoo37]

In the interview with Jo Whiley on BBC 2 after the show, Chris and Will confirmed that it's currently around 85 minutes long, that they "never know when a record isl finished" and that it's their "summer project".

:)

They also said it was a Jazz album ;)

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

Someone's gotta post the interview online. I can't believe they're doing this right now.
i second that, please.

Goodness no! As much as I love long albums, 85 minutes is way too long. I don't think it'll even be an hour long, honestly.
indeed too long, and now is when i ask.... but don't they said they deleted all they had worked for the new album a year ago and started again from zero?

That would be cool, but probably full of crapy songs :P
probably, very few artists can do a double album and make the whole work awesome (eg. Benjamin Biolay), but Coldplay's never been of those sorts of artists.

^ Exactly. You've gotta exercise some quality control. I'd much rather have a shorter album full of great songs than a longer album with mediocre songs.
You are so rite, better quality than quantity.
but i still feel they may do a La Pulqueria thing (offer the album in different Singles/EPs and finally when tour is in the middle or so offer the whole album).
It worked well for them, (their idea was to offer a whole meal: starter, main meal, dessert) but for Coldplay i honestly doubt it and anyways the whole thing wasn't that bloody long :freak:

[Tash]

^ Good to see that again *and again and again and again*

[foxeh]

85 Minutes? i Think they were kidding

[Chloe_Martin]

its actually probably is 85 minutes at this point and they are cutting it down


btw




CHRIS DRINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cyan Kat]

CHRIS DRINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was surprised to see him drinking :surprised:

[Major_Love]

Did Chris say that he is "happy" with the new record?

[nathey42]

I love this and all the interviews, but it's got to the point where I don't believe 75% of what the band say now. Not in a bad way, as I don't think they ever deliberately lie to us but they just seem so erratic in their ideas and they that they work and things seem to compeletely change on a weekly basis in camp Coldplay... :thinking:

[mycoldplaynet]

I think they should release a 120 minutes album, plan an everlasting worldtour an play a yearly special-concert for all the coldplaying members.

[filiprasmusson]

They said they were going to chop it down, calm down everybody!
The album is gonna be fantastic! :)

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

chris jokes a lot so... :thinking: he also said on that interview at some point "i'm on acid" (don't he), thought indeed he looked a bit strange.

they are working on the 5th album, i can understand they be a bit erratic on how they want it to be, a review of previous works, something totally different... normally a band at this point has yet a point to achieve but what do Coldplay have yet to conquer musically?

I think they should release a 120 minutes album, plan an everlasting worldtour an play a yearly special-concert for all the coldplaying members.
that special-concert part would be super awesome, to celebrate their 15 years since they formed? :wacky:

[2GreenEyes]

They are gonna chop it down, logically, from coldplay-fan point of view a hour-long album might sound great, but it doesn't work at all, and I personally think albums are best when they are short and strong, it just works better.
Just as a 12-minute song doesn't work as good as a 4-minute song.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

I would doubt the 85-minute bit if Chris had said it--especially since he jokes around so much that it's hard to tell when he's serious :P But since it was Will that mentioned it, I'm willing to believe that they have cut it down to something close to 85 minutes.

A double album would be awesome, but I'm betting that we end up with something a little longer than Viva, probably about 55 minutes or so.

[lostandcold1]

YouTube - ‪A Coldplay Studio Tour‬‏

this is so breaking the rule

[LauraLaura82]

I think they were just kidding.....
For coldplay statements we can use the Neapolitan saying: "pare a regia Marina, chell' che dice a sera nun vale a matin'!!"
A possible translation could be: They act like the Regia Marina (something like the Royal Navy) what they say at the end of a day is worthless the morning after.

They don't tell us lies....perhaps they change their mind very often :D

Chris drinking?? O_O he said it was Beer + ginger...is it right? I think it was a drink for the voice.

[macky]

Thank for the interview.
Obviously they are and look really tired after that awesome show.

Also I have no problem with an 85min long album

[macky]

The album won't be 85min long, Will said they are chopping it down. THey've already chopped it to 85, now they'll probably cut another 40 min (that's 10 songs we might never hear:cry::cry::cry: )

[macky]

They also said it was a Jazz album ;)

Sorry but he didn't say that. Watch it again.

[FixYouFixesMe]

I was wondering if someone would post that 60 Minutes interview, because I knew I remembered seeing that they had a 'rule' about album length, and I couldn't quite remember how long they said it couldn't be, but I knew 85 was more than what they had said in that interview.

But I don't care, I don't really understand the reasoning behind that, but if it is 8, 80, or 800 minutes, I'm buying it.

[icedude2010]

They need to prospekt's march that bish. I'm gonna say an album of 55 minutes, and then a 30 minute EP. The 30 minute EP should be released, like, now. Then they can take however long they want on the album and I'll have my precious' to listen to.

[Tash]

Sorry but he didn't say that. Watch it again.

Chris said that (4:14), it was a joke :)

[Odvan]

So 85 minutes? How many songs is this? 20-25? And they need cut it to 10-12. Almost half. Actually all this festivals stuff could be b-sides? But how about they've already named it and have release date?

[Navegador]

85 minutes? Cut ETIAW out!

Just as a 12-minute song doesn't work as good as a 4-minute song.
You were going so well...

What about Supper's Ready or Echoes (23 minutes)? Or Dogs (17 minutes)? Or Thick As A Brick (the whole album, 43 minutes)? These are some of the best songs ever.

[Cyan Kat]

Did Chris say that he is "happy" with the new record?
Is it a bad sign seen as he's usually pessimistic about it and it turns out pretty good :uhoh:

[2GreenEyes]

I don't really know any of those songs to be honest, so I can't really judge them
but I really wouldn't listen often to a 23 minutes long song, even if it's good, it just takes to much time to just put it on for a bit.

Anyway I don't think Coldplay songs work quite that way anyways.

I agree Pink floyd had some long songs and the Songs just rock.
"Atom Heart mother" is legendary its 23:44 Mins.
Long songs are good most of the time.
The Wall is 1 Hour and 21 Mins long and it was 1 of the Best Albums ever made.

[Juanma]

Chris said was happy in the moment , not about the album

[oldmuckers]

The 85 minurte part was Will making a joke in reference to the joke that Chris was making about LP5 being a jazz record. Chris said something along the lines of it's hard to know when a record is finished when your making a jazz record and Will laughed and said something along the lines of yeah right now its about 85 minutes but we're gonna try to cut it down. They were lauging at eachother throughout this entire exchange. These guys are close friends of course and just like the rest off us they like to bullshit with eachother and have a laugh.

Also I dont think Chris was drinking (not that that's important at all) but I think that when he said that he was drinking a beer with ginger in it that was just a funny/sarcastic way of saying that he was drinking a ginger beer... which I have never had before but would imagine is something similar to a root beer. I could be wrong about that.

Yep, that's what stop most people from listening to Progressive Rock, the best musical genre ever. It's your right not to like it, of course, but I strongly recommend you listen to some of these songs.

Anyway I don't think Coldplay songs work quite that way anyways.
That's true. I couldn't imagine Coldplay making epic songs.

"Atom Heart mother" is legendary its 23:44 Mins.
How could I forget AHM? What an amazing suite!

Long songs are good most of the time.
True.

[w1ll1am7]

1- who cares if Chris was drinking? lol - he can enjoy a beer, especially after Glastonbury

and 2, even if they weren't kidding they do release a fair amount of b-sides and I wouldn't be shocked if an EP comes out with the other songs not on the album. I (personally) wouldn't mind a long record, but only if the songs were all good. Whatever they do it's going to dominate globally, so heck, I'm just enjoying the ride!

[Corkus]

85 minutes? Cut ETIAW out!
For all I care, the album could be 35 minutes and I'd still be in favor of this.

This is probably correct, everyone. :) The album very well could still be too long, but there was obviously some humor to the exchange.

[Coldplayer11]

i thought they were playing about the 85 minutes cuz Chris martin usually lies but hearing ti from WIll, well thats a different story.

if its 85 minutes long and they've listened to brian eno into making songs less than 4 minutes long, then we're gonna have a hell of alot of songs.
i actually prefer 5+minute coldplay songs like in A rush of Blood to the head.
we'll see hopefully they'll release it soon, my ipod wants more coldplay!

[2GreenEyes]

Yep, that's what stop most people from listening to Progressive Rock, the best musical genre ever. It's your right not to like it, of course, but I strongly recommend you listen to some of these songs.


I do like progressive rock, but it does take to long so I can't just put it on, so that's a shame about prog rock in my opinion :)
I prefer songs short and strong rather than that you start thinking 'when's the next song comming on?'

[86Timewarp]

Look at rule 5 at 0:38!

Release date: Has to be original

Edit: nvm I miss read it -_-

This is exactly what they were talking about it has nothing to do with the new LP being 85 minutes long.:rolleyes:
Also, Chris drinks people... Don't hold it against him. I think a Ginger Beer is a mix of beer and ginger ale, I come from a family of Brits and when growing up my parents mixed 7-up and beer together and gave it to us kids, and they called it a Shandy.

[Tash]

Wikipedia about ginger beer:

Ginger beer is a carbonated drink that is flavoured primarily with ginger and sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners. Most ginger beer produced commercially is a manufactured soft drink. The original version, rarely produced commercially since the mid-20th century but often home brewed, is a brewed alcoholic beverage.

The beverage produced industrially is not brewed (fermented), but carbonated with pressurized carbon dioxide. It does not contain alcohol (although some might contain less than 0.5%) and is sold as a soft drink, sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners. Commercial ginger beer is similar to ginger ale except that it has a significantly stronger ginger taste and is sometimes described as ginger ale with a kick. It may be cloudy (a marketing decision rather than a necessary attribute), is sweet, and has a spicy ginger taste.

[the_escapist]

just watched the interview. a simple joke guys.

[bedtime83]

Yeah, they were just joking around..an 85 minute jazz album :laugh3:

[Navegador]

I do like progressive rock, but it does take to long so I can't just put it on, so that's a shame about prog rock in my opinion :)
I dare you to say it on ProgArchives.com :lol:
You said you didn't know "Supper's Ready", "Dogs" or "Thick As A Brick". With all due respect, if you never heard these songs, you're not a proghead.

I prefer songs short and strong rather than that you start thinking 'when's the next song comming on?'
It never crosses my mind "when's the next song coming on?" while I'm listening to Supper's Ready. I simply enjoy each and every minute of its 23 minutes, that blend together making the best individual song the world has ever seen.

[fwise3]

Jeez guys... ginger beer is non-alcoholic. I drink it all the time! It's just a stronger, more "gingery" version of ginger ale, and it's oh so yummy! Now if it had been a dark n' stormy...:sneaky:

[fwise3]

In fact I do believe this to be the exact one he was drinking, which I have actually had :laugh3: :

[Coldplayer1317]

THEY WERE NOT KIDDING, THEY JUST SAID IN SOME WAY THEY HAVE A LOT OF NEW SONGS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM...

[Coldplayer1317]

85 MINUTES ARE MAYBE AN 21 TRACK ALBUM, THAT IS IMPOSIBLE, IMPOSIBLE FOR COLDPLAY, ONLY TWO OPTIONS REMAIN:

1- CUT A LOT OF SONGS OFF THE ALBUM

2- MAKE A DOUBLE ALBUM

AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE SECOND ONE I KNOW THE FIRST ONE IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN, I JUST HOPE THEY RELEASE AN EP AFTER LP5 WITH UNRELEASED SONGS...

[Bluejay]

Weird how everybody's talking about ginger beer :lol:
Anyways, I do believe the 85 minute thing was a joke. Besides, don't they have some sort of rule that says that no record can be longer than 42 minutes? :thinking:

[Cyan Kat]

It won't be 85 minutes, they will cut it down more as I'm sure Coldplay could not pull off a double album and I'm sure the festivals have been a good way for them to try out a few songs which may or may not be on the album.

[icedude2010]

EVERYONE CALM DOWN IT'S JUST A JOKE. OK YOU CALM? YOU CALM BRO?!!?

[At High Speed]

Yeah! It's true. It's just a joke. But even if it wasn't a joke, I wouldn't buy it (at first I would've, but I just have High Hopes and I'm sometimes blind), because Chris told that LP5 wasn't their masterpiece.

Be glad that Chris is being pessimistic like that--the guys loved X&Y and, frankly, it isn't their best album; they thought A Rush of Blood was 'interesting' and look at it now! :laugh4:

[admnistramation]

It's kind of obvious at this point that LP5 is certainly not their masterpiece. If anything, they came close to it with AROBTTH and VLV. It might be their next album, but I have my doubts. At the very least I could see them putting it out as their seventh album, though I think they'll stop after that.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ I'm not convinced that this is their masterpiece yet, either, but based on experience the more Chris worries about it, the better it will be :P


EDIT: Personally, I hope they pull a U2 and keep on going after LP13 :wink3:

[Doubtingthomas]

im surprised no one has said anything about how weird chris was acting in the interview. i think he was high or something. very spacey.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ I think he was just exhausted. He just sort of spaced out at one point when Will was talking--something that happens to me quite often when I get overly tired.

[Chloe_Martin]

he was extremely tired and loosing his voice, he was proud by the way the show went :D

[TwistedPolitik]

85 minutes is over the maximum time for a CD. So it'll either be cut, made digital only or be a double album then.

[JackZ]

Quality over quantity, but how awesome would it be to have the best of both worlds? It'd be so cool if all 85 minutes were pure quality, even though that's not the case....

[coldplayisawesome]

i don't think it was necessarily that he was tired. he said about the whole experience that it was "overwhelm[ing]" and that he felt happy. it just seemed to me like the sort of happiness where you can't really do anything but be eerily calm... i don't know if i've explained that right, but i've had that feeling before. :P
basically, he just seemed sort of mesmerized.

[Jack Bauer]

Maybe 85 minutes means that we'll finally get some good b-sides. I miss the days when there would be at least 2 b-sides on every single.

[ColdplayBlop]

I hope they just release an album similar to Viva La Vida or A Rush of Blood to the Head, where it was short, amazing and got to the point. I literally enjoyed to the fullest, every song of each of those albums, they were just too good. And maybe each single has about two b-sides, so we don't miss out on the songs that were left out, or maybe release an EP like Prospekt's March. Also, just a suggestion, The Killers once released an album, Sawdust, which included several of their b-sides, maybe Coldplay can do something similar to taht. However, I don't really see Coldplay wanting to do that, considering, they really care about ANYTHING they put out, which is pretty great nonetheless.

[Violet]

Please excuse my epic multi-quote post.

What if it turns out that they were great songs? Songs like Goodnight and Goodbye, Famous Old Painters, and Wedding Bells (Even though it was worked in with Christmas Lights)

Even so, people could get burned out just from the vast amount of music. Some people can't pay attention to one thing for that long.


And i would absolutely love that. Incredible really. I mean I don't think you can go wrong with Coldplay- there's never "too much" as far as I'm concerned.

Some people would beg to differ. I'm not saying I'm one of them, but there are definitely times when people can end up having too much of a good thing, y'know.

Quality>quantity.

Cut it down, Coldplay. Release the cut songs on an EP later if you really feel like it. :sweatdrop:

VLVODAAHF + Prospekt's scenario, anyone?

I think they should release a 120 minutes album, plan an everlasting worldtour an play a yearly special-concert for all the coldplaying members.

...You're joking, right?


Just as a 12-minute song doesn't work as good as a 4-minute song.

That's not necessarily true. Longer songs, if constructed correctly, can sound just as good as (if not better than) the shorter ones. Having said that, however, I also have the understanding that longer music isn't for everyone, and some longer songs that aren't constructed as well do have the tendency to feel like they're dragging on and on.


Anyway I don't think Coldplay songs work quite that way anyways.

True. Long songs like that aren't Coldplay's style.

Maybe 85 minutes means that we'll finally get some good b-sides. I miss the days when there would be at least 2 b-sides on every single.

I love Coldplay B-sides. :wacky:

[pansonic]

Could it mean we'll have songs like Paranoid Android, i.e. constructed of 3-4 songs glued together in a Beatles-esque way?

[Technicolor Liver]

Paranoid Android and the Beatles?? :wtf:

[NumbersGirl]

Will said it!Ooops, I failed.
That's what I get for not actually listening to the interview.
Apparently my ability of making assumptions doesn't carry over very well outside of work. :tongue:

[At High Speed]

Unbelievable, but it's a big world!

I know exactly what you mean and I agree! :hug:

Archive are the perfect example for that. :heart: :heart: :heart:

There are good examples to descrive the awesome songs that can go on for ten minutes, like Green Day's "Jesus of Suburbia". Sometimes there are bad songs that get boring quickly like The Who's "Baby Don't You Do It".

It's unlikely that Coldplay will show us a 10 or more minutes long music like that (unless if it's somethong like "Everything's Not Lost" or "Yes").

[Cleggy]

^ Those songs have long track times because there are hidden tracks bundled in with them. At the end of Yes there's Chinese Sleep Chant and at the end of Everything's Not Lost there's Life Is For Living. The actual songs are around the 5 minute mark I believe. However they do perform a long version of Everything's Not lost live that's about 8 minutes like at Glastonbury and Live 2003 for example.

[Violet]

Archive are the perfect example for that. :heart: :heart: :heart:

I always see you talking about them, but I've never taken the time to check them out. I might just do that some time.

Recording of MM video starts after Tin the park, (my mistake sorry) we all have a breack after 10 july, and ETIAW was recorded arround the time the messages began to come of the twitter page, I know the oracle, and i can tell you which question she will answer, and yes, the oracle is a woman, and its part of an EMI project to make MX a more commercial album, and will actually did lie, the album is not 85 minutes long, but it is close, it is (right now, not tracklist totally defined yet) about 67 minutes, its a long album, and there is a song on it....
.....
.....
CK (i dont know why people think it is something about car kids ore something, it is an old simble that mean something, you should just research for it and you will understan what these era is all about)

well CK, (wont say the actually song name (but its NOT car kids)) its a long song, around 7 or 8 minutes, and its really probable that it will enter to the album.

If you don't belive me i don't blame you, but in july 7, when you see the anouncement of ETIAW video, you will star to belive me, and then you will listen so i don't care, you will eventually understand all these info is actually important, and 100% true

Is this just the same guy again, because if it isn't that means we're getting the same info from 2 sources.

Can you tell us why you decided to leak all this info?

I know who she is, and well i think say some stuff of coldplay new record wont hurt anyone...

[Imke]

Pretty sure it is the same guy. Don't know why the mods keep closing his accounts.

Maybe you should familiarise yourself with the forum rules then.

[the_escapist]

It would not surprise me that EMI decided to release Major Minus as a single. Highly unlikely but possible.

[coldplaying.com]

They close our acounts cause they know we are right, all coldplaying knows about this, they just do not want to tell everything, that is why

[Jack Bauer]

no im not, im in close contact with the oracle, so i know a lot of stuff about coldplay recordings :P

Well if you're not the same guy, do you know if all that stuff Mutagenic Xylobrytes was saying is true. I sorta believed him up until he dropped Wedding Bells and Spanish Rain.

[the_escapist]

Maybe you should familiarise yourself with the forum rules then.

Which rule? Enlighten me...

[Imke]

Which rule? Enlighten me...

3a) Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed. We are and will continue to monitor multiple account users.

We have software to detect multiple accounts, just saying.

[Jack Bauer]

So was that MX guy really trying to tell us that Wedding Bells was going to be released on Monday morning?

[Juanma]

Closing accounts like this seems to be because the things he's saying are true..


Why did you decide to leak info?
Which will be like the Big single of the album?

Thanks!!

[Imke]

Hahaha ... sorry, but that is ridiculous.

If he wants to post info, he can do that with his original account that is NOT banned.

3a) Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed. We are and will continue to monitor multiple account users.

But tell me - if I am banned from my initial account, does that mean I can't open another account? Will that still amount to multiple account creation?

[coldplaying.]

Well if you're not the same guy, do you know if all that stuff Mutagenic Xylobrytes was saying is true. I sorta believed him up until he dropped Wedding Bells and Spanish Rain.

I don't know about an album name yet, but I think its posible cause the name M xyrobrytes or that has been touched a lot here, and about spanish rain, i think that one is more likely, i heard coldplay wanted to record a clean version of spanish rain, it would not surprise me if it was on the album, weding bells , im sure this one was recorded, she told me that they had recorded it BUT they didnt know if use it on the album or drop it off the album, the major minus being a single, that is really posible, and also the videos BUT i don't know about the video description, and i know it was going to be anounced at some point in july, but not this soon, at 7, that might be a lie, but everything else sounds really aceptable, now i gotta go, cause they banned my other acount, dont want to make another one, bye, maybe tomorrow i can tell you more, ill talk to "the oracle" to see what she can tell me :P

[Imke]

But tell me - if I am banned from my initial account, does that mean I can't open another account? Will that still amount to multiple account creation?

If your original account was banned for a good reason, then we will not tolerate a new account, because that would also count as an attempt to bypass a ban.

[the_escapist]

OK. Thank you very much for the info.

[Jack Bauer]

So let's see what we've heard today
1. Album is called Mutagenic Xylobrytes
2. All new songs are on album except ETIAW (MX/HLH opens and MTM closes)
3. Up with the birds released in 2-3 weeks, a duet with miles kane
4. Major Minus, the first single from LP5 comes out one week after that (UWTB the b-side?)
5. Spanish Rain is the second single
6. 14 songs, approximately 67 minutes
7. New songs include Golden Arrow, UFO and CK which is 7-8 minutes long.
8 ETIAW video to be released July 7 complete with a big blue boat, a waterfall and constellation.
9. Wedding Bells to be released Monday morning?

How much of this do we think is true?

Pretty interesting. Also, CK does not mean Car Kids but a symbol that has to do with the album theme. Album will drop at late August.

[Jack Bauer]

I looked up Ck and all I was found was Crip Killer. Hope that's not an indication of the new era! :\

[the_escapist]

I have a strange feeling that some bits of the info posted here is TRUE. Someone should contact Debs Wild so she can come here confirming or denying these allegations...

[admnistramation]

The band called it their summer project, I doubt they'd release it in August. They're still working and we won't hear anymore new studio material for a few weeks at the very least. Maybe if we're lucky, they'll play Princess Of China and Moving To Mars at some of these upcoming festivals.

[footyfan10]

this is really weird. i really don't believe a word this guy is saying.

the band don't try to trick us. despite their "desire" to retain mystery, they aren't at all mysterious. most bands you don't hear from for a couple years, then they announce their album and then its out.

we literally have near constant access to the band. anyone who thinks spanish rain and wedding bells will be on the album is kidding themselves.

CK doesnt stand for anything, do not think of C and K as english letters...

when C and K are place the way he drew, it looks like an eye...that was the great revelation...


anywho, think its a good time for an IP ban mods, or suspend registration for a while to get rid of trolls/fangirls. cannot believe people are not only listening but responding to him/her/it. if he/she/it's right, then thats great, he spoiled the surprise for us. but do you think its ever a good idea to put so much faith in a person you know nothing about and is in the very least, a little shady?

ps. im guessing the reason for the ban is not because he's leaking info. we've been through members leaking info and full-on audio material before and they havent been banned. the reason for the ban is for trollery

[pansonic]

now it might sound far-fetched, but...
to me that 'CK' thing looks like a modified Egyptian cross. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh
With Chris saying things about religion and how he would pick Zeus (also from an ancient religion), it could mean something.

[michal91d]

This is really weird... Part of me thinks "I don't believe him. Probably a troll", but what if he has right?
No... I don't believe him. Pictures of ETIAW video didn't look like they were on the ship.
67 minutes - I don't think so... I would believe in double album, but not in 67 minutes long album.
We all can see MX and CK. Everyone can make theories about them.
I don't think that "Spanish Rain" is on the album. For me it's just a song created for festivals.
After few performances most of us can say that MX and Hurts like Heaven will be the first songs on the album.

[icedude2010]

Y'all are gonna feel crappy when everything he says comes true, and those special diagram things are the album artwork. JUST YOU WAIT!:cry:

[foxeh]

Dont pay attetion to this freak just let him talk and ban him. -.-

Telling lies or not, leave that aside for a moment.
Just wanted to make that clear again. :)

6. 14 songs, approximately 67 minutes
7. New songs include Golden Arrow, UFO and CK which is 7-8 minutes long.
8 ETIAW video to be released July 7 complete with a big blue boat, a waterfall and constellation.
9. Wedding Bells to be released Monday morning?

How much of this do we think is true?

Does anybody seriously believe anything this guy/girl says?

Major Minus is not a single, it's already on the ETIAW ep
NO WAY they're doing anything with Spanish Rain, that song is from the south-america tour and that's what it was for and it's probably been dropped ages ago.
Defenitely don't believe 67 minutes, Will has said : "We don’t want it to be too long so the plan is 'concise and powerful'."
Which is also VERY Coldplay and they regretted X&Y for being too long. A 7-8 minutes song doesn't sound Coldplay at all either, just don't buy it.
No way they'll release Wedding Bells anytime, because it has to much to do with Christmas Lights.

So if this guy is right about anything, it'll be a lucky guess.

[Jack Bauer]

I think the only thing he's saying that is true is the video release date. Then when it comes out on July 7 everybody'll be like oh the album is called mutagenic xylobrytes and believe everything else he said. Gotta give the guy some credit though, he put a lot of thought into it. :lol:

[Wyrd]

Also, coldplay.com took Caps Lock day too seriously ... more typical troll behaviour

Well, why stands there banned under his name? And im alright with that but
the way he types the "News" is a total Troll behaviour and keeps creating a new account and just avoids that he got banned and keeps posting stuff thats kinda weird and annoying.
I bet he came from 4chan.

[Alien Radio]

OMG this is all ridiculous and stupid. :S
But also interesting. xD

Before we got sidetracked by Trolly Mctroll someone mentioned wanting to see the 60 minutes interview. I'm certain there's a more appropriate place but since it was mentioned in this thread I went to find it. Also, it could be US only. I'll search for a full version on youtube now.

If the 10 minute EP is boring as hell I can't imagine how bad that 85 minute long album could be...
Imagine 20 tracks as Blackeyedpeas-esque as ETDIAWF!! God Help Us All...

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ Eh? :thinking:

I don't think Charlie Brown, HLH, Major Minus, etc. are very 'Black-Eyed Peas-esque' (of course there's no guarantee that any of these will be on the album). If anything, they're a mixture of songs from the previous Coldplay albums. But, to each their own. :nice:

It's true that there are no guarantees about that, but we can be smart, and guess that, since the 3 songs in the new EP were released in an album already, then why re-lauch them when the band has more in the chest?

[Imke]

So do we know for sure this guy is coldplayer1317 cuz i dont want to accuse anybody of anything.

We have our ways to know for sure, otherwise we wouldn't have banned his other accounts.
He trolled the board, end of story.

Can't you just ban this guy's IP from the site?

Some of his IPs are banned now, that doesn't mean he can't come back with another IP though.

^ Eh? :thinking:

Neither do I. But unfortunatelly ETDIAW (the song, not the full EP) is Blackeyedpeas-esque. Major Minus, Moving to Mars, Hurts like Heaven and Princess of China are simply mediocre, worst Coldplay stuff ever. And Charlie Brown is simply lovely, but I'm afraid it will be an island of quality in the new album.

[Brent]

I don't think even ETIAW is "Black-Eyed-Peas-esque." I think people are just finding reasons to hate on it. I don't like it either, but it's NOTHING like this:

YouTube - ‪Imma Be-Black Eyed Peas‬‏

There was one dude who said it sounded EXACTLY like GaGa's "Poker Face." REALLY? I mean it's not their best song, but for real? Geez.

October 10, September 12, August 20-30, I don't think anyone knows but you're reasoning is... :rolleyes:

[Bloody]

At the begginig of the song ("I put my records on, I turn the music loud") Chris sounds terrible, is he trying to rap or something? I don't know but the result sounds to me as if I were listening to a Black Eyed Peas song. The rest of the song is better, but that bit... OMG I hate it.

[ColdplayBlop]

To be honest, I really don't think Every Teardrop is bad. The song was meant for the festivals as well as a closing track, hence why they probably didn't put very creative lyrics in it. Not all their tracks need to have so much work put into it so it can stand out as much as Politik, The Scientist or Viva La Vida. They just wanted to try something really new, seperate from the rest of their songs and to simply be an exciting track, and in my opinion, they succeeded. @Bloody, haha I noticed that part too, it sounded like he sort of bridged away from singing for that part or something, but definately not try to rap :P.

I totally agree with this :) I enjoy ETIAW a lot and for what it is. I find myself so excited when it plays, too :awesome:

[Bloody]

If ETDIAW is seperate from the rest of their songs and to simply be an exciting track they should have told us. 'Cause if they don't, we think that it's the leading single of their new album. And as a party-song with no pretentions at all it's fine, but as a leading single it's crap.

[Fix42YellowClocks]

Okay. I mean 85 minutes might be a bit long and that wouldn't fit on a single CD. BUT! I would love if the album was 65-70 minutes long. :] And Eno is an awesome producer for the most part but screw him when it comes to the album length! He's there to give them advice and make them think outside the box, not act as a totalitarian dictator and tell Coldplay how long their albums have to be. Three of his own five most recent albums were over 70 minutes long. He has no right to tell them how long to make the album, just like he can't tell them what instruments they have to play or what songs have to be on the album; it's stupid to constrict the multifarious and multifaceted talents Coldplay possess. It's ridiculous. It's hypocritical. And it's not his jurisdiction. :angry: I thought he was supposedly less involved on this one than VlVoDaAHF btw?

Unrelated but I had a dream last night about LP5 news and I was really sad. :/ Coldplay had said the album would be 34 minutes besides ETIAW, so only 38 minutes in total... That's ridic. :| They're made all that music and are supposed to release something under 42 minutes? Ugh. :(

Brian Eno has produced a crapload of stuff, including several U2 albums, a few of which are quite long. It's not him that makes Coldplay albums short.


Plus, I'd rather have another Viva (45 mins) than another X&Y (1:15). Length doesn't have anything to do with quality of the songs.

You make a good point man- although my research shows hardly any of their albums are over 50 minutes actually. Not to slight you just saying. (: And I mean I thought it was though? Wasn't that a RULE on the list of ten that the album couldn't be longer than 42 minutes. What right does he have to say that? I mean that's just how I feel. It's THEIR band and THEIR music, not HIS.

I disagree, though I do respect your opinion. I think Viva was definitely better but not because it was shorter. Just because they were doing what they wanted to rather than what they thought the fans and the media wanted. They stepped more out of their boundaries and tried new things. On X&Y they almost reverted backwards I'd stretch to say.

edit: Not to be a butt but I feel I have to point this out. X&Y was only 62 minutes not 75. Not that it really makes a difference except 1) I'm OCD about this band, even little things like that. 2. I'd feel like we were all cheated out of 3, 4+ minute songs if I didn't say anything. Sorry. :|

[Crests]

Wasn't that Coldplay's rule? :|

[Destrokk]

lol so arcade fire~

[coldplayfan_115]

Something I noticed reading a few posts back~ Coldplay is amazing. Yes. But they are not perfect. ETIAW may not be their greatest song. That doesn't matter. They experimented. Personally, I believe, as a musician myself, that experimentation is a brave thing to do. A song can't please everyone. If you think of music more like a piece of art than a track, it's easier to see it that way.

[coldplayfan_115]

Wasn't that Coldplay's rule? :|

Yes, it was. 60 minutes interview...(the underpants quip :lol:)

I mean what I was saying about viva is that most say it's a better album. Therefore it's not a really long album that makes the music better.

The job of the producer is to process the music and make it better quality. I really don't think he has a say in the length/track listing.

With coldplay, I hear it's up to Will anyway :)

I agree completely. They are experimenting, and with all of the results, it's pretty good. I mean, look at where they were with Parachutes, it was pretty good, and now look where they are now. They are evolving, as much as I love the previous Coldplay eras, I can't wait for the next one. They really are trying to expand their horizons, and you can definitely see it.

[Fix42YellowClocks]

Wasn't that Coldplay's rule? :|

Wow. Actually I'm not really sure now that you think about it. :thinking: I think I just attributed it to Eno because they didn't start using it until he started producing. I suppose it could be either and I actually I can't really say a whole lot. They didn't even follow the rule last time, regardless of who's it was. VlVoDaAHF was 45/46 minutes and 10 tracks with 3 other ones tacked on to the others, not 9 as they made the rule. :S :P

[coldplayfan_115]

Yeah. As much I love the trilogy, Coldplay's evolution is a good thing. It keeps us on our toes. :D

[admnistramation]

I think it would be a nice little change to move away from Brian Eno on their next album.

[S.@.m.]

Wasn't that Coldplay's rule? :|

I hope that was just CM's rules and nobody cares about :-p In the end it was just a LeftRightLeftRightLeft rule I hope.. I wouldnt mind them to put a hundred tracks on a record and I wouldnt mind if it is more than an hour long or so.

[xandy33755]

Not sure if anyone has said this but it's most likely long because they're not gonna be around after their tour circuits for a while, I'm assuming. they're probably going to take a break. They've been talking about it for a while now. It was supposedly after X&Y, then VIVA. Who knows though, can't hold back creativity.

[princesanji]

1. ALBUMS MUST BE NO LONGER THAN 42 MINUTES, OR 9 TRACKS.
2. PRODUCTION MUST BE AMAZING, RICH, BUT WITH SPACE, NOT OVERLAYERED. LESS TRACKS, MORE QUALITY. GROOVE AND SWING Drums/rhythm are the most crucial thing to concentrate on; diff. between bittersweet and science of silence
3. COMPUTERS ARE INSTRUMENTS, NOT RECORDING AIDS.
4. IMAGERY MUST BE CLASSIC. COLOURFUL AND DIFFERENT. COME BACK IN GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOUR.
5. MAKE SURE VIDEOS AND PICTURES ARE GREAT BEFORE [...] RELEASE DATE. And highly original
6. ALWAYS KEEP MYSTERY. Not many interviews
7. GROOVE AND SWING. RHYTHMS AND SOUNDS MUST AL[WAYS...] ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE. Once jon has melody, twist it and wei[...]
8. Promo/review copies to be on VINYL. Stops copying problem and soun[ds...] better.

and so on and so on ^^

number 8 is quite smart, 3 worries me a bit and we'll have to wait whether they stick to rule number 1 or not^^

[2GreenEyes]

In Coldplay, as far as I know, nothing gets through if one of the 4 (and maybe Phil?) isn't happy with it. So it's not Eno's rule nor Chris' it's something the whole band agreed on that it was a good idea and Eno might've suggested it but they are all their own people and very capable of knowing what they want so Eno's influence is never something they don't agree on.
And as far as those rules go I think they are methods to make them creative, as limiting your options often sparks more creativity than giving you too much freedom, and to make sure the album isn't to long, but they won't stick to it like they're God's rules, so if they feel strongly that the album is better if it's 5 minutes longer, then that will happen. All they try to do is make the best album ever for them, and chances are that that means the album will be under 50 minutes.

I know they try really hard so I'm not really worried about the next album, I'm quite sure I'll like it.

And I also like ETIAW, and I don't think they thought oh it's just a summer festival thing so lets make crap lyrics. I think they actually really like the song and are proud of it. And so do other people. Coldplay just doesn't sound like the band that would release something they don't LOVE. I mean if you see all the songs they make that they don't release and that are great, it's highly unlikely that they'd do that.

[Fix42YellowClocks]

lol yes!! Especially the part at the end. I don't see why it's bad to have a lot of songs on an album. :| It's probably just because I never get enough of them and some people would disagree, or that the more there are the less the quality peeps think. Which is all good. A new album is what it is regardless if it's long or short I do suppose. I'd really love a long one though! :) I mean like, idk. If they had included Rainy Day, Prospect's March/Poppyfields, and Glass of Water, the last album just would've been even better! And it would've bumped it up from like 45 minutes to 60. Yeah. Good times.

Then this shows us that coldplay usually break their own rules, because of the fact all of coldplay LPs are over 9 songs, and all of the albums are over 42 minutes but parachutes, which is 41, and X&Y was 62 minutes long with 13 songs, so i think that rule can be broken, specially with brian eno, viva la vida special edition was also quite long....

[admnistramation]

They're not very mysterious, Coldplay seems like an open book once the album is out. They're no Radiohead.

this was written during VLV recordings, which is why first three albums may not be to these rules

still, viva la vida dose not follow the rules anyway....

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ It does if you exclude the hidden tracks. Plus, it isn't like it was an extra song that pushed Viva over the 42 minute mark--rather, it was the extra number of odd seconds in each song (they aren't perfectly rounded numbers like 4:00 or 3:30)

-------> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_la_Vida_or_Death_and_All_His_Friends

Original album = 45 minutes 10 tracks

Special edition = 73 minutes 18 tracks

Again, it does NOT follow the rules

[JackZ]

No genius. The special edition includes Prospekt's March. That's a duo pack, not an album. Viva the album had 45 minutes because of extra tracks. Nobody gives a sheesh how long the special edition was.

[admnistramation]

Following a set rubric sounds pretty lame.

The 'special edition' would be Viva la Vida / Prospekt's March, so it isn't a traditional album (rather, a deluxe album) ;)

As I said, the three hidden tracks are the main reason that Viva was pushed over the 42 minute mark. Altogether, The Escapist, RoL, and CSC average out to 7 minutes; without them, Viva would be 38 minutes, which coincides with the rules that the boys set up.

I'm sure their rules aren't set in stone--they wouldn't cut an entire minute out of a song just because the album length times out at 43 minutes :)

thanks for the feedback, didn't know, well , viva was a really complete album, so an 41 minute album would not be bad at all :)

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ No problem :)

I don't mind short albums, either, as long as they have good songs that fit together well and are just all-around good tunes.

[DundahMifflin]

Following a set rubric sounds pretty lame.

What? Not at all.

My Dad is a musician, and he always has a set of guidelines he following when writing and recording. Having an organized set of "things to do" severely balances out your planning.

[admnistramation]

But how are they supposed to experiment with set boundaries? It seems so wrong...

[JackZ]

I don't like you :embarrassed: you probably don't like me neither but i don't really care at all, and im more cleaver than you

Spelled clever wrong. And if you're so clever, why did you suggest that the title of LP5 will be "..." You're not exactly the brightest of the bunch.

[Coldplayer1317]

Spelled clever wrong. And if you're so clever, why did you suggest that the title of LP5 will be "..." You're not exactly the brightest of the bunch.

As i've said before, im not a native english speaker, and at this point, we can all speculate, "kjasdlfksjdlfkjsldfkjsldkf" is as probably as "M xyrobrites" to be the title, why? because we don't know yet, so it can acutally be "..." , why not? give me a reason why not? , forget about it, im probably younger than you, but more intelligent

PD - I don' know/care if i spelled any of the words wrong

I know you don't, but my correction pissed you off. I'd say I'm clever like that, but unlike you I'm not an arrogant jerk about it.

And why won't the album title be an ellipses? Because 1. That's stupid. Not only is it difficult to pronounce as Chris said, it's impossible. That's not a sound.
And 2. Chris said the title is 2 words, starting with an M (that's probably the billionth time that sentence has been written on this forum) and we see MX all over the place. Just put 2 and 2 together, genius.

1. Sigur Rós has an album called "()." That's not a sound, either. For simplicity's sake, fans call it "the bracket album." I'm not trying to argue with you at all; I just thought I'd make a point.
2. Yes, he did, and that's why Coldplayer1317's prediction is wrong.

:P That's awesome

To be honest, I would rather have an album called ... or MX or whatever instead of Mutagenic Xylobrytes. It's one of those titles that if I were to see it in a store (and not know who Coldplay was) I would walk right by it because it's just too weird.

But, the guys can do what they want, I guess :shrug:

Wow, that's strange...lol well thanks for pointing that out to me then! :lol:

[rafaelchampion]

I don't like M________ Xylobrites nor MX, looks like X&Y so much. Still would like Major Minus or Alien Radio, but as soon as it 'is difficult to spell' I'm loosing my expectations.

So I hope I's Going to be called something like M_________ X_________ but not Xylobrites.
Lets cheer for that (yn):nod:

[42rock89]

It will be called 'More X&Y'

and will include even more epic versions of Things I Don't Understand and How You See The World part 3.

Maybe the Rest of it is in LP5 now.

They are changing the Setlist from time to time.
They did it like 3-4 times now.

[princesanji]

another thing on the rules:
who said they were set up while VLV recordings? nobody did ._. in fact, they might have been put up for the next album! (however, even VLV is conform with the rules, they wouldn't give a damn about 3 minutes or 1 more song if it's THAT close!)

[Coldplayer1317]

They are changing the Setlist from time to time.
They did it like 3-4 times now.

The last 7 gigs had the same setlist, the only ones that have changed where the first one and this last one, 7 gigs in a row with the same set list, thats not something we call chage every time...

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Nothing new tonight in Arras. The only thing the guys changed was replacing Shiver with Cemeteries of London.

[admnistramation]

God, I can only handle so much of X & Y, let alone the b-sides. Gravity is one of the only ones I enjoy that wasn't on the album.

[Coldplayer1317]

^ still trolling

I know things a lot of people don't know, if you knew who i am you would maybe not say im trolling... for example, what to know an interesting fact only i could know about cause i was told, the video from the arctic monkeys "Fluorescent Adolescent" was filmed exactly in the same place the "ETIAW" video was.

Fluorescent Adolescent:

YouTube - ‪Arctic Monkeys - 'Fluorescent Adolescent' (2007)‬‏

Around second :40 +

YouTube - ‪Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall‬‏

Around second :40 +

Understand im not trolling, and im for real, im a coldplay fan, but i like to speculate with things i know, coldplay and arctic monkeys are close to each other, well... more or less :smug:

[JackZ]

That's a pretty popular spot for filming, a lot of things have been filmed there.

:thinking: mmm Like what? and tell without searching in google please, that would be just wrong

[dry_pretzels]

:thinking: mmm Like what? and tell without searching in google please, that would be just wrong

One of the moderators (SueDeNimes) recognized that location when the ETIAW video was released. You can see her posts about it in the ETIAW video thread. It's really not a huge secret.

From Wikipedia . . .

Millennium Mills was a recurring filming location for the British TV series Ashes to Ashes (2008–2010). It appears as one of the first locations in the series in Episode 1 ...

The mills also appear as the setting for a number of music videos, including "Ask" by The Smiths (1986) filmed by Derek Jarman on the north side of Royal Victoria Dock,[29] "Fluorescent Adolescent" by the Arctic Monkeys (2007)[30], "Take Back the City" by Snow Patrol (2008) and "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" by Coldplay (2011).
