Myloto Xyloto To Have 13 Tracks.

[prjio307]

From the Billboard interview:

But you're only going to put 10 or so on the record, and haven't you recorded like 50?

"No, no. We're going to finish 13. We've started like 490 or something crazy. But it's such a harsh culling process within the group, because it's such a democracy, that a lot of songs don't even make it 'til the end of Thursday."

Also it will be 42.5 minutes long:

Speaking about the musical direction of the record, Buckland says, "I suppose the theme would be letting loose musically; louder drums, louder guitars, more contrast. Then we wanted to go down to the most intimate moments, then back to the biggest we've ever been. We wanted to contain as many interesting ideas as we could fit into 42-and-a-half minutes."

I suppose this could just mean 10 tracks and 3 b-sides though. Although it wouldn't make a difference outside of sequencing as we still get all 13 in the end.

Edit: I got the title of the album wrong in the thread title. Complete fail on my part, hopefully one of the mods will correct it or people will kindly ignore it. :P

[MrMagpie]

They should have released a 490 track album. Selfish bastards.

[prjio307]

They should have released a 490 track album. Selfish bastards.

This would be amazing holy crap.

[MrMagpie]

Or they could have done a new song a day for over a year. Even if some of them were of Chris Martin farting or kissing his wife.

[prjio307]

I would listen to them.

[Ronayne94]

If they released a 490 track album I'd be found on my bedroom floor days later spasming in a pool of jizz.

[taameen**sparks**]

Completely unrelated but is that NiGHTS in your avi?

hahahahaha, thanks :D

No the person who started the thread.

It is indeed. Loved that game.

[taameen**sparks**]

I've been pretty obsessed with it lately :D

[SprayCanSoul]

10 Tracks + 3 Hidden
Just Like Viva!!

[Ronayne94]

10 Tracks + 3 Hidden
Just Like Viva!!

Once they release an EP after, that'll be good enough for me :D

[Hartroc]

So we know that the following will probably be on the album:

Mylo Xyloto
Hurts Like Heaven
Charlie Brown
Princess of China
Paradise
Up in Flames
Us Against the World
Major Minus
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

That leaves four tracks. Three, if they decide to include Moving to Mars.

I predict that they will include Alien Radio and Luminous! :3

[Cleggy]

He said 13 songs, not 13 tracks. It might be like Viva as SprayCanSoul said up there.

[SprayCanSoul]

Once they release an EP after, that'll be good enough for me :D

Agreed!! :laugh3:

[prjio307]

He said 13 songs, not 13 tracks. It might be like Viva as SprayCanSoul said up there.

I actually like this idea. Gives the album a much more tight-feeling tracklist.

[Alien Radio]

I think that MX could be opening song, a part of Hurts Like Heaven, and Mylo Xyloto a closing song!??

[Samuel_94]

looks like there wont be a post album EP unfortunately

[Cleggy]

I think they'll release a few songs as B-sides rather than on an EP this time.

From Viva we got 11 songs that didn't make the LP (although you could say that we only got 8 because 3 of them were just different versions of songs already on the LP)

From X&Y we got 7 unreleased songs

From A Rush of Blood we got 7 unreleased songs

So whether we get an EP or not we'll still probably see about 7 songs that didn't make the cut like they've done for the other albums.

[The Duke]

13 songs / 42.5 minutes = roughly 3:17 per song. Hurts Like Heaven is over 4 minutes, Major Minus is 3:30, Charlie Brown is a little over 4 minutes.

Point being, one of those figures is going to be wrong. What could make sense is that they aren't counting the "hidden" tracks in that 42.5 and the album is actually a little over 50 minutes.

[Cleggy]

Viva was about 42 minutes long and all of the songs on Viva were quite short. The longest 2 were Strawberry Swing and Violet Hill which were just over 4 minutes long. If it's the same this time round they could easily do 13 songs that fit into 42 minutes. Bear in mind that MX is probably included in the 13 songs that Chris mentioned and it's under 1 minute long. That leaves 12 songs in 41.5 minutes. That's easily achievable.

[danmets21]

I honestly doubt that Princess of China will make the final cut. Chris said that there were songs that he has played and he felt like an idiot for playing them, so he stopped doing so. As far as I know, PoC is the only new song played live this summer, that has stopped being played live.

[the_escapist]

I thought that also while reading the article, but then there's today's Phil's tweet. So we will get a studio version.

There's a lot of confusion about what Chris means when he says 'live.' We know that the band have been testing each of their songs 'live' at The Beehive to see if they translate well to a live environment so that's probably what he's referring to here. If he felt like an idiot playing Princess of China he would never have played it at that festival at all. We can only assume it was taken out of the setlist because of other reasons. Now recently Phil mention it in a tweet so it's still definitely being considered.

[Jamesfish]

I reckon this is possibly true, with 13 tracks with 2 hidden tracks, You use your heart as a weapon

[Hartroc]

My prediction:

Mylo Xyloto
Hurts Like Heaven
Paradise
Princess of China
Up in Flames
Charlie Brown
Us Against the World
Major Minus
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
Car Kids (It's on the cover)
Luminous
Alien Radio / U.F.O.

Plus one more track we haven't heard yet.

[periahdark]

My prediction:
Car Kids (It's on the cover)


There is the chance that Car Kids is just a lyric. So much mystery behind the album cover!! :DD

I hope it is 13 tracks. That would be great! And hopefully no exclusive bonus tracks either. Everything is universal on all releases. iTunes, CD, Vinyl and Special Edition!

[Cleggy]

13 tracks or not, it's still 42 minutes long so we're getting the same amount of material as Viva.

[Hartroc]

It seems unlikely that two words from a song would get so much attention. Besides, Car Kids was on the list of possible LP5 songs back in 2010.

[Hartroc]

OK, so list of possible songs is as follows:

Mylo Xyloto
Hurts Like Heaven
Paradise
Charlie Brown
Up in Flames
Princess of China
Car Kids
Up With the Birds
Major Minus
Moving to Mars
Us Against the World
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
U.F.O.?
Xylobrytes?
Luminous?
Under 1 Roof?

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Iam dying almost 100 000 times becuase i dont know if PoC will be on Mylo Xyloto :( :( :(

[prjio307]

Iam dying almost 100 000 times becuase i dont know if PoC will be on Mylo Xyloto :( :( :(

I'm dying because I'm worried "Hurts Like Heaven" won't make the cut. It's my favorite of all the new songs and I would be heart broken if it didn't make the album :(.

[footyfan10]

Probably not 13 for the album, but I really don't see why not. 12 songs at 4 minutes each is only 48 minutes.

I really hope the band doesn't put out a really short album even if it has 10 songs. It sounds like they're pretty tired from this recording process - Chris at least. Saying he has nothing left. Not like I believe that will last, but I would hope they can bring at least a bunch of b-sides if not an EP out.

Who knows. I'm greedy. :wacky:

[footyfan10]

Iam dying almost 100 000 times becuase i dont know if PoC will be on Mylo Xyloto :( :( :(

Did you see Phil Harvey's tweet on the bands Twitter? He says he's excited to get Paradise, Up in Flames and Princess of China out there.

So no worries!

[prjio307]

This is the trouble with playing unreleased songs live. It creates a paradox in the fans. We want "new" songs on the album that we haven't heard yet but we also have fallen in love with the live unreleased tracks (Hurts Like Heaven, Princess of China, etc...) and are disappointed when/if they aren't included on the album. We can't have our cake and eat it too with a 42 minute limit on albums.

[Fuzzyman]

Well i think that princes of china and Up in flames will be the b-sides of paradise single! I wish ....

I WANT CHARLIE BROWN IN THE ALBUM !!!!!!!!! OH YEAH !!!!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Just my thought but i cant imagine that Up in Flames and PoC will only be B-Sides...to good for that i think but its just my opinion...

[prjio307]

My prediction:

Mylo Xyloto
Hurts Like Heaven
Paradise
Princess of China
Up in Flames
Charlie Brown
Us Against the World
Major Minus
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
Car Kids (It's on the cover)
Luminous
Alien Radio / U.F.O.

Plus one more track we haven't heard yet.

This tracklist is actually the most plausible one I've seen so far which actually makes me sad because it includes 7 songs that we've already heard live versions of and 4 songs that will have already have studio versions out at the time of the album release. Does this bother anyone else? We've already heard the vast majority of this album before it's been released. Granted the studio versions are bound to sound different from the live versions and hopefully "Major Minus" will have a new mix.

[Hartroc]

hopefully "Major Minus" will have a new mix.

:nod: :nod: :nod:

[prjio307]

:nod: :nod: :nod:

I have a feeling it will, sort of like "Don't Panic". It started off as a B-side with one mix then made it onto an album with a different mix.

[Hartroc]

Hope you're right. I like the vocal effects on Major Minus, but the mix still needs some touch-ups (like the band continuing to play behind the guitar crunches).

[prjio307]

I just think it was overproduced all around honestly. I also can't understand why they left out the guitar part during the little section after the first chorus.

[mrkjhnwht]

Don't the 42.5 and 490 sound rather precise to you? Like when someone says, "I dunno, 60,001 times" or something along those lines?

I don't think they'd count the number of songs they'd started, just the ones they finished. Perhaps he's saying 42.5 minutes because that's the golden time they wanted Viva to be.

Aaaaaannnddd maybe with a little bit of luck... they'll release slightly more by accident. Like I dunno... 45696 minutes worth.

[JackZ]

490 was just a funny exaggeration.

[prjio307]

490 was just a funny exaggeration.

Yeah, it was just a joke number he spat out off the top of his head.

[Brent]

I just think it was overproduced all around honestly. I also can't understand why they left out the guitar part during the little section after the first chorus.

True that. I think they need to take out a couple layers of the song! The sirens are absolutely unnecessary.

[admnistramation]

I like the sirens. :|

[admnistramation]

And I'm alright with ETIAW on the album at this point... I guess... but didn't the billboard story cite it as an opener? ETIAW should NOT be the album opener, that right belongs to MX/Hurts Like Heaven. :angry:

[JackZ]

It's weird though, it seems like MX/Hurts Like Heaven would take the opener spot, but that wasn't even originally the first song they were going to play at shows! They opened Rock im Park with Charlie Brown and played MX/HLH later as if it wasnt the perfect opener! Weird...

[JM-SP2]

I don't get why people feel annoyed at the fact the we have heard "most" of LP5. So it was a first for Coldplay (playing unreleased songs regularly) but lots of bands have done it before and I don't see the problem with that.

[Skin&Bones]

^^ Um.... how do YOU know we've heard "most" of LP5? If there's thirteen tracks, I'd say we still haven't heard 7 of those songs. Dude.

[liu273420683]

Mylo Xyloto
Hurts Like Heaven
Paradise
Charlie Brown
Up in Flames
Princess of China
Car Kids
Up With the Birds
Major Minus
Us Against the World
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall (plz drop this one:angry:)
+2 unknown tracks which dont start with the letter U

i think up in flames, us against the world, up with the birds will definitely be included in LP5. and according to the '3 songs in the album must start with the same letter' rule, there will be no chance for U.F.O or anything like that to make the tracklist.
plus U.F.O sounds really stupid for a name of song

[Skin&Bones]

If I see another one of these pointless tracklistings, I'm going to blow up.

[Brent]

^This. God. So annoyed.

[Blakexy1125]

I'm dying because I'm worried "Hurts Like Heaven" won't make the cut. It's my favorite of all the new songs and I would be heart broken if it didn't make the album :(.

Im almost positive it will make the cut since its very popular.

[JM-SP2]

that's exactly what I'm saying! I even remarked "most" because we don't know which songs that were played live will actually make it to the album.

Still, I would be pretty pissed if we don't get a studio version of HLH :\

[Batmotor]

In my mailbox i received the official name of LP5 and the release date.

But i have to say the title of this album is strange and i think by myself it's a bad title.

i havent listened to the three released new songs for a long while now because i have the idea they become really boring real soon.after a week of the release of those songs i founded it to be really bad songs.

i really hope those songs will not be on the new album.

[Skin&Bones]

^looks like someone set their expectations too high for the new music.

[princesanji]

really? i mean, really? am i the first one to mention the fucking thread title is bloody wrong? Myloto?? what the hell? MYLO xyloto...duh :laugh1:

[DundahMifflin]

If I see another one of these pointless tracklistings, I'm going to blow up.

I saw 10,000 different tracklisting's in the announcement thread last night. It was beginning to piss me off. Indeed it gets old.

wow, you might have gone mad if you looked into the tracklisting thread then :laugh3:

[Andy14]

If I see another one of these pointless tracklistings, I'm going to blow up.

My predicted tracklist:

1. Cartoon Heart
2. Famous Old Painters
3. Spanish Rain
4. U.F.O
5. Wedding Bells
6. Space Symphony

Coming in at 42 minutes, 42 seconds.

Only 6 tracks??? thats wrong it will be 13 tracks.

[Nattatouille]

Right, so we've heard a high proportion of the album already. The only tracks I really need a studio version of is HLH, Charlie Brown and PoC. The rest I'm not overly fussed about (maybe UAtW too).

I think though, with what everyone is saying about 'hearing the material before the album is released and being bugged by it' vs. 'other bands do it' is that with other bands you'll hear some new material once/twice before the release. With the festival streaming, we've seen all these songs like 10+ times already so they don't feel as new or as exciting.

Not that I'm not looking forward to the 7 or so we've not heard.

[Strawberry Swinger]

really? i mean, really? am i the first one to mention the fucking thread title is bloody wrong? Myloto?? what the hell? MYLO xyloto...duh :laugh1:

because compared to myloto, mylo makes sense.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

I dont see ANY reason why PoC shouldnt be on Mylo Xyloto !!!
All the new songs are great and sound like Coldplay we know but Princess of China is,to me, completly new stuff we never heard of them EVER before(maybe except LiT).
Like they said that theyre not afraid anymore to be more creative and that song is definetly the result of it !

Second,the song is dark but contents kind of a love story which is included on Mylo Xyloto,like Chris said in the Billboard-Interview. So that is also fitting.

Third (but not the best reason) is, that the screen with the new album cover was used at the PoC Performance at Rock im Park,could have done that also with another new song but theyve chosen PoC.


Finally,to me it seems that Princess of China is a quite important song to them and they really like it a lot. So thats why they dont wanted to spoil it that much in the other festivals,for sure they know what is spoken about the song and they like it to keep the secret of it.

So i pray it will make the album and i`m pretty sure it does because there are more Pros than Contras !!!

-posted in PoC Thread as well but i thought it fits in here too ! :)

[Abracadabra]

Phil's tweet is all I needed. I don't know why y'all are in two minds about it (Princess of China,Up in Flames) if the thing is certain. Even if we get'em as B-sides, we'll still have them. It's even better that way because there's more room for some other songs to be on the album.
And whether we get song released on an album, as a B.side or an EP is completely irrelevant. Geez.

[Samuel_94]

I think there shall be 10 tracks with no hidden tracks or double tracks. The other three will probably be b-sides

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Of course its good to know theyre gonna be released anyway BUT in my opinion Hurts like Heaven and Princess of China are MUST-HAVES on Mylo Xyloto ! Just because when iam watching the CD and the tracklist at the back, i would be kind of proud to see those great songs written there !

[Samuel_94]

^ Yeah, but I was shocked when I read the Bilboard article this morning. It said Hurts Like Heaven might miss out!!!

[Batmotor]

i just read that the songs

ETIAW

MM

will be on the album :( and not MTM?

Damn what a bad choices are they making.

CB will be on the album thats positive :)

Most of what we heard in the live performances will be on the album.

So will this new album be a real suprise for us???

Will POC on the album???

13 tracks is much and i hope the songs that we havent heard yet will be better then the songs that we already heard.

i didnt have high expectations for LP5 but i didnt expect something this bad.

[Batmotor]

^ Yeah, but I was shocked when I read the Bilboard article this morning. It said Hurts Like Heaven might miss out!!!

No HLH???

:angry:

another big dissapointment if thats true.

[Samuel_94]

What's bad?

[SprayCanSoul]

I think Paradise ,Up In Flames, and Princess of China will be released in
September as part of a Paradise EP !!Like why just tweet these 3 songs !!
Somehow I dont think Phil would reveal any title songs to do with the Album Tracklist before the official announcement of it!!Its kept very secretive for a reason!!I also reckon Mylo Xyloto will have 10 tracks + 3 hidden just like Viva did.
Roughly 6 tracks we will have heard already before the release - possible (Mx/Hurts Like Heaven,Charlie Brown,Paradise,Us Against The World,Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall,Major Minus) + 7 unknown tracks!!But Hurts Like Heaven,Charlie Brown etc we havent had studio versions so theyre relatively new and I hope they are on the album because there awesome songs!!
I also think if Every Teardrop is included (goin by the tweet Yesturday "The next single Paradise"puts ETIAW in a strong position) that Major Minus from the EP should'nt but maybe have a tweaked version of it or something Major Minus Media!!!
If they include Princess of China - Brillant but if it has been released previously on EP well (just like Major Mnus)then it could turn out that we would have heard 7 tracks (4 studio versions)from the album berfore its release which in my opinion is to much.After all we all want as much new material as we can get our hands on!!In my opinion there on an EP why duplicate that and put it on the album to!!
I cant wait until 12th September/24th October I know Coldplay always impress.Am just hoping that when I read Mylo Xyloto's Tracklisting that it dosent consist mostly of songs which iv already heard STUDIO VERSIONS of!!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Thats it ! It just would make me a bit sad that those two great songs won`t make it(maybe). Also if theyre released anyway,to me its not the same as being on the Album !!!

[Samuel_94]

^ Finally, someone who is complimentary and excited. Literally, everyone else on here seems angry and pissed because they set their hopes too high

[Andy14]

I don't know why so many people are assuming Phil's tweet meant that those two songs were 'Paradise' b-sides. I definitely think he was referring to the album.

[Batmotor]

What's bad?

it's overproduced with electronic shit.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Yeppa ! :) He just mentioned some tracks possible for Mylo Xyloto ! And btw, they said tha Up in Flames was the missing piece of the album,so why it should be "only" a B-Side now ?! Makes no sense to me...

[Abracadabra]

Thats it ! It just would make me a bit sad that those two great songs won`t make it(maybe). Also if theyre released anyway,to me its not the same as being on the Album !!!
It's just me, but how can it possibly be different, a song being on the album or not? If the song is crappy, it won't be listened to and liked any more than if it makes it as a b-side. And if it's a good one, the same applies.
^ Finally, someone who is complimentary and excited. Literally, everyone else on here seems angry and pissed because they set their hopes too high
High hopes would be if someone wanted like 20 brand new tracks, each one of them being at leat 4 minutes long. I think most of the wishes I've happened to come across were reasonable and within rational thinking.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

^ Finally, someone who is complimentary and excited. Literally, everyone else on here seems angry and pissed because they set their hopes too high

Of course,i got my imaginations for Mylo Xyloto like everyone else gots as well. And after hearing PoC the first time i really hoped and prayed(i still do it) it will make the album. So it is with Hurts like Heaven,my two favourites o far and i think that there are still chances both make it because theres no tracklist confirmed. Maybe two or three songs are defintely on but for the others we can only wait to be confirmed. So long i keep my hopes for HLH and PoC alive !

[Major_Love]

Yeppa ! :) He just mentioned some tracks possible for Mylo Xyloto ! And btw, they said tha Up in Flames was the missing piece of the album,so why it should be "only" a B-Side now ?! Makes no sense to me...

Yeah, thats what I think. Firstly they won't publish a EP again after Teardrop EP and secondly they won't publish Princess of China and a rush-recorded Up in Flames (which is the "missing song") alongside the next, second and obviously most successful single. That makes no sense for me too.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Yes,its not very exciting to announce ALL Tracks which are possbile B-Sides for Paradise ! Why they should do that,one month before release ?!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

I think Phil was just also excited that now everything is going on ! So he wrote some songs maybe to be included on Mylo Xyloto,maybe he likes them most,who knows...

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

I don't really know what Phil was alluding to when he tweeted yesterday, but why are people getting worked up about it? If PoC and UIF are b-sides to Paradise then that's fine with me; if they're on Mylo Xyloto then that's fine with me too. :shrug: Either way, we'll be getting high-quality studio versions.

Although I have to say that since Up In Flames was mentioned to be the song they were 'missing' I don't see why they would slap it on another song as a b-side :thinking: As another poster mentioned above, maybe Phil just mentioned his favorite songs from the new era or something.

[Samuel_94]

it's overproduced with electronic shit.

Nice of you to be so reasonable

[Batmotor]

i just hope the songs we not heard will be better in some way.

just gave my opinion about the already released EP

Because that was an awfull package of songs,first i thought okay cool but after thinking twice i thought daaaammmmnnnnnn this is soooooooo boring.

[Ronayne94]

I don't mean to "brown nose", but I agree with literally everything you've just said. If Paradise ends up being an EP with two "b-sides" I will be a very, very, very happy boy. :D

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

I dont think that Up in Flames(the missing one) and Princess of China(the mysterious one) will be B-Sides for "Paradise". If they would be, Phil could have said that in his tweet because they cant say: "Surprise,surprise-UiF and PoC are the B-Sides for Paradise"(sounds funny,i know :) ). What i wanna say is that it wouldnt be a surprise because weve been told one month before the EP is going to be released.

No,Paradise will get a B-Side but not both of the songs. My Intention is, that Phil mentioned Paradise first because its going to be the next Single and Up in Flames/Princess of China were mentioned because theyre(maybe) are his favourites or just a rehearsal of Songs being included on Mylo Xyloto !

What you think about that ? :)

[SprayCanSoul]

Yeah you have a good point!!Its Coldplay no one knows whats around the corner I was just stating my opinion and what I reckon might/could happen.I just found it strange that Phil would tweet songs from the album even tough there was no official tracklist announcement!!And it was tweeted straight after they revealed Paradise as the next single 12th September..it was like he was responding to it!!"Paradise,Up In Flames,Princess of China lets get them out there as if they were part of a package!!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Part of the Mylo Xyloto Package ;) !

[SprayCanSoul]

Part of the Mylo Xyloto Package ;) !

:laugh3:
September 12th will tell!!;)

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Yeah :) Honestly i think all of these three songs make it on Mylo Xyloto ;)

[johnnymax865]

I was just wondering... is it possible that the 13 songs due to be completed in this period do not include ETIAW, MM and MTM, since these 3 were already registered for the digital EP?
In that case, we should have 16 finished songs (album + b-sides)...

[prjio307]

really? i mean, really? am i the first one to mention the fucking thread title is bloody wrong? Myloto?? what the hell? MYLO xyloto...duh :laugh1:

Holy crap I didn't even realize I did this! Hahaha, wow total fail!

[gc24hs24]

Hopefully, they'll release a 30 second preview of "Paradise" and then it'll leak earlier than the 12th more than likely so...I would guess the first time we'd get to hear the full song is around the beginning of September/end of August. Excitement!! :D

[rpindacity]

Any one who thinks that up in flames wil be a bside is wrong. Here is why. Chris said that he was missing a song for the ALBUM, which was up in flames. If that song completed the ALBUM, then there would be no way it was a bside. Unless, of course, it was a bside and was on the album just like major minus might be.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

As i said, Phil mentioned Paradise first because its going to be the next single-release ! Up in flames and (especially) Princess of China are going to be mysterious :D :D

[Blue Nails]

To me it seems Phil just mentioned songs from the album in that tweet. Who's talking about b-sides? We're not getting greedy, eh? :sneaky:

[Cleggy]

The billboard article said the album will probably have 10 songs but they'll finish 13 songs. The remaining 3 songs will probably be the b-sides.

[foxeh]

Or 3 Hidden ones.
If they think that way.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ I'd say three hidden ones also. Two as part of other tracks (i.e. DaAHF and The Escapist) and one at the end of the album (i.e. 'Till Kingdom Come)

[SprayCanSoul]

Or 3 Hidden ones.
If they think that way.

Agree!!

[woohoo37]

They won't do the hidden thing the way they did with the last album imo

[foxeh]

They won't do the hidden thing the way they did with the last album imo

Im pretty sure they will.

[Contra4you]

I hope a special Album Edition with 15 Songs and 2 or 3 B-sides like a rush of blood to the head =)

[valypan]

I hope the pop-up edition will have extra tracks, but regardless 13 songs are not enough to fill in both albums, future b-sides,etc...I hope they will finish more in the future. We waited more than 3 years: we are thirsty for Coldplay tracks! :)

[SprayCanSoul]

This relates to the tracklisting!!
When Coldplay announced there new single Paradise on the 12th August I tought back thats a track that was registered on the Ascap database.
Also the track Mylo Xyloto which turns out to be the Album Name.
Does this mean that these songs are also to be included in Mylo Xyloto's tracklisting :
A Hopeful Transmission
Tomorrow
U.F.O
Can anyone get access to this database again for an updated list.In this version Up In Flames has not been registered
and we know for sure this is a title (Phil's Tweet)!!
Seen as the site was correct about Paradise it would be worth having a
look at an updated version of the Ascap database
to see if other speculated track titles AlienRadio,CarKids,Golden Arrow have been registered lately !!

[Samuel_94]

CK, GA, AR aren't there. i think AR might have been changed to a hopeful transmission anyway! they sound similar

[SprayCanSoul]

CK, GA, AR aren't there. i think AR might have been changed to a hopeful transmission anyway! they sound similar

Is Up In Flames there because if it aint theres a good chance the others could
make it to (if they exist).
Yeah I Agree Alien Rado could = A Hopeful Transmission !!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Anyone here thinking PoC will not make it on Mylo Xyloto ?!...AND why ?!

[SprayCanSoul]

Anyone here thinking PoC will not make it on Mylo Xyloto ?!...AND why ?!

Iv still listed it to make the Tracklisting!! But theres still that idea that it could be released as a B-side to Paradise !!

[Samuel_94]

i'm pretty sure POC will be there.
i dont think up in flames is there either, i bet they were all finished late and havnt been registered yet

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Is it listed in those mentioned ACAP or whatever Databases ?!

[Strawberry Swinger]

They won't do the hidden thing the way they did with the last album imo

yeah,because they did EVERYTHING differently than the last album.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Ahhhh,totally forgot the write. Yesterday i talked to a friend whos been at Rock am Ring recently. Hes not the biggest Fan of Coldplay to be honest but he said something interesting. He was up in the first row and was able to see the setlist quite good. He told me that beneath two songs something was written. The first one was Hurts like Heaven and next to a big red -?- . Second was Cemeteries of London and next to it written(also in big red) -Princess of China :)- hes a serious man and just wanted to tell me because he knwos iam so Coldplayish :laugh3:
I dont know if its important,just wanted to mention it :)

[Odvan]

So we have now those tracks (in alphabetical order):

A HOPEFUL TRANSMISSION
CHARLIE BROWN
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
HURTS LIKE HEAVEN
MAJOR MINUS
MOVING TO MARS
MYLO XYLOTO
PARADISE
PRINCESS OF CHINA
U.F.O.
UP AGAINST THE WORLD

Strangely there are no ETiAW. Also I think they still works on Up In Flames and there is no recording or something like that. The same applies to Car Kids.

With latter songs it's roughly 13 songs. Maybe they are working on couple of songs besides this?

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

^ I'm sure they are working or have worked on several other songs that will be released as b-sides. :nod:

Hopefully a b-side for every single, because the Viva era b-sides were almost nonexistent :P

[Ronayne94]

Hopefully, they'll release a 30 second preview of "Paradise" and then it'll leak earlier than the 12th more than likely so...I would guess the first time we'd get to hear the full song is around the beginning of September/end of August. Excitement!! :D

You're not going to be hearing the new single in late August. :dozey: You'll be hearing it on Sep 12th
