If you want songs you haven't heard on the album, don't be youtubing the performances. Simple as that.

I think for a devoted Coldplay fan, anything new in their world usually HAS to become part of our world. So I don't think many of us could keep away from it.

I still don't care that I already know what the songs sound like. That just means I know the album will be fantastic. I'm telling you, listening to the album will be much different than the live.

I don't mind the length of the album but I do wish they'd have a song or two that is as long as Amsterdam or A Rush of Blood To The Head. Those two just have a really great spacy sound to them and the build up is amazing.

37 minutes- from just the minutes column
429 seconds- from just the seconds column

So it seems as though you made 429 seconds into 4 minutes and 29 seconds, added 37, and got 41:29 which is incorrect. There are 60 seconds (not 100) in a minute, so the seconds column actually comes out to 7 minutes and 9 seconds when calculated correctly.

This leaves the real track time at 44:09. While two and a half minutes might not make a difference to some people, they really do to me. And that's also probably why he said it was just under 45 minutes and not closer to 40. So yeah. Hope that clears some things up.

Oops! You are so right! My mistake! I'm sorry guys

It's not that there's anything wrong with playing new songs at concerts + festivals. It's the fact that they have played a majority of the songs on the upcoming album, meaning we have a good guess of what the new record is going to sound like. For people who have been disappointed with recent songs, it is now highly unlikely that our opinions will change.

We have now managed to squeeze an extra 2.5 minutes out of the album aha!

Be kind, correct the length in the thread title.

Odvan · 24-09-2011, 10:44 AM

No one mentioned that AROBTTH is 55 minutes long? Must be a crappy album based on opinions there.

Jeez. We need divide forum for two parts - for under 18 and for over 18.

Chechoouu · 24-09-2011, 01:46 PM

Great info, thank you !

I think the reason no one mentioned that was because ARoBttH had a very good flow to it--not as good as Viva, obviously, but better than X&Y and Parachutes IMHO. Whereas with X&Y the way the songs were fit together made it seem a lot clunkier. I think a slight change in the tracklisting and swapping out a few of the weaker songs for Gravity and How You See The World would have made it seem smoother.

I'm under 18

The Lenght makes sense.
The Girl from the review also said "U.F.O." is a Song and "A Hopeful Transmission" an Instrumental.
But didnt say they it's like 45 Minutes Long?
Would mean at least 1 Hidden Track?
It's space for 3 Minutes.
And you guys remember the Fotoshoot in Japan? Infront of the Car, maybe thats the Hidden Track for Japan.
Also known as "Car Kids".
Correct me if im wrong.

Cheese Nip 2 · 24-09-2011, 05:27 PM

about song legnth, Beatles songs are usually about 3 minutes. Doesn't have to be a certain length to be great!
