Is it just me...

Strawberry Swinger · 13-04-2012, 09:32 PM

...or is this whole era a bit... boring? Don't mean to be a hater or anything, it is just that Viva la Vida era seemed all in all like such an exciting time to be a fan, and now the MX era really lacks the excitement... Like nothing is happening! Maybe we (or I ) got overexcited too early, when we only knew a couple of songs during the festivals, and then it came to a very calm period... Is this the calm before the storm, maybe? Hope so...

strikie · 13-04-2012, 09:37 PM

yes,
it is kind of weird to have such a long period of silence after the album release..

viva came out in spring, with the tour right after it..

The Final Track · 13-04-2012, 09:39 PM

Nah, not just you. My interest has died off gradually

Ronnie O Sullivan · 13-04-2012, 09:48 PM

Unfortunately yes

!

Havent heard the whole album since more than one month,just a couple of songs sometimes. I liked the graffiti stuff in the beginning but now to me it seems everything doesnt fit really,dont know how to explain exactly...

Finally, i have to recognize that one( not the major) reason is that Mylo Xyloto is the weakest album so far. I´m just not really interested in it since many weeks. Of course, i like songs like Charlie Brown,DLIBYH or ETIAW...but they are nothing special to me.

I remember when i heard "Talk" first...i never got that special feeling about a song again since that,maybe with Violet Hill and Life in Technicolor(Part One!). I really hope that some unreleased songs (if theyre going to be released...) will bring something "fresh"...

BUT: The Live-Shows of this Era are the best so far !

The Red Army · 13-04-2012, 09:54 PM

Yeah, it's been kind of slow.

I still enjoy the album though, listening to it as I type this.

News and excitement should start up again when they start touring in a few days. And hopefully if an EP is released, then things will get crazy on here again.

Prospector · 13-04-2012, 09:58 PM

Yeah, the viva era never had such big gaps between exciting things, short after LiJ video was released we alredy had the Proskpekt's March EP to wait for, that kept us interested a long time, than LiTii and the tour continued with blogs and everything. I hope they are using this time to do something special.
Last time we had something new was on the begining of feburary with CB video, so it's more than 2 months with NOTHING!

DundahMifflin · 13-04-2012, 10:05 PM

Yeah, it's been slow. I don't think it's boring, per say, but I am eagerly awaiting the start of the tour.

golfing7861 · 13-04-2012, 10:10 PM

Nothing new is happening at all

SprayCanSoul · 13-04-2012, 10:26 PM

We need an 8-Track EP.

juanif94 · 13-04-2012, 10:29 PM

Yeah, I feel the same way... I don't even listen to the new album anymore

Cheese Nip 2 · 13-04-2012, 11:16 PM

I wouldn't worry about it. Once the tour starts and R42 is back it'll be more active! There's so much they can do and I'm sure we'll see some exciting things soon!

suzanafg · 13-04-2012, 11:31 PM

The moments right before and right after the album was realeased were quite busy: they did a shitload of festivals and of their own concerts, took part in a lot of TV shows and interivews. It was actually difficult to keep up with everything.

The current break may be a bit long, but another thing to add to the math is that we are probably a bit 'spoiled' (in a good sense) because we could watch online a lot of concerts and nowadays it's easier to share info (interviews and stuff).

It shouldn't be forgotten however that there was a recent interview with Paris up on Coldplay.com, some short radio interviews, that interview shared on facebook and the news and discussion regarding PoC video.

In a nutshell, MX era has yet a lot to deliver and the present sense of 'nothing happening' (which is not really accurate) is, imo, due in a big extent to us having in our 'short-term memories' (I'm not using the expression in the technical sense, but I hope the idea is straighforward) that bucketful of info and stuff.

So yeah a bit of apprehension is expected in that scenario, but let us not worry

ColdplayingfromKansas · 14-04-2012, 12:09 AM

I feel the same way. Of course, the guys have earned this two-month break, but this era does seem to be rather boring--especially compared to Viva. I don't even listen to MX very much--it's definitely their weakest album.

Hopefully things will pick up when the tour starts.
