Are we all psyched for the new Coldplay album?

[WindRavenX]

It drops at midnight tonight- the single "Speed of Sound" is amazing and I know this album will be as well.
And FUCK the Coldplay hatahs. Seriously. They're a great liberal band that have great live gigs :headbang:

1. I...uh...."bought" it already

I like it a lot. Particularly the hidden track, which was written for Johnny Cash. I also really like "What If", "Fix You", and "Swallowed in the Sea"

Overall, probably not quite as good as A Rush of Blood to the Head, but that's hardly a criticism.

edit: i'm also planning on actually paying for it tomorrow

another edit: i'm now pondering what it means that all the songs i really liked are the most depressing ones

[WindRavenX]

6. what is the title of said hidden track?

[sir_captain]

8. 'Til Kingdom Come

Very simple, pretty much just Chris Martin and an acoustic guitar.

Keeping in mind that they didn't actually write this one:

Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I've never felt this way before.

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know which way I've come.

Hold my hand inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
Until my day, my day is done.
And say you'll come, and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you say,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummers begin to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know what I've become.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

2. I am becoming a Cold Play fan ...

I always liked their sound, but their musicianship and compositional art are striking me pretty strongly now .... Very moving stuff ...

3. Count me in!

They're no Oasis, though...:evilgrin:

[Fuzz]

18. But is not Oasis the greatest British band since the Beatles?

Can we not vote on this?!

[City Lights]

4. I'm up for it and their upcoming tour.

We just got tickets to see them later this summer.

[WindRavenX]

5. LUCKY

Chris is an amazing performer, just as good as Bono.
That's right. I went there. :evilgrin:

[City Lights]

10. We're going to have a good comparison of the two since we're going to see

U2 in Dublin during our trip to Europe.

BTW, I'm listening to the new Coldplay CD right now. I asked about it at the record store when I picked up my daughter from her guitar lesson and the lady sold it to me early.

[WindRavenX]

12. jealous

Wow.
U2 in Dublin. LUCKY DUCKY! :D

[City Lights]

16. It helps having a spouse who travels frequently.

It sucks being apart so much, but at least we can cash in on the free miles and hotel points. We weren't in a position to take a nice honeymoon when we got married, and have been planning a nice 15-year anniversary trip for years.

7. Heard one cut today, "Fix me or Fix you"

more paternalistic poo. I had to turn it off it was so annoying. Tryin' to be more "sensitive" while rehashing the same old " I know better than you" theme. Ugh.

Sorry, I am just WAY over that writing style, but I do not in any way disparage those who enjoy the I-Am-A-Young-Man-With-All-Answers genre. Somebody's gotta listen to that stuff. :)

[iconoclastic cat]

9. I keep wanting to hate them.

But they keep writing really cool songs. Why can't they just suck in a predictable way?

[xmas74]

11. I want to pick it up soon but not tonight.

Will have to wait a month for the extra money.

[sundog]

13. no

:hide:

:P

[WindRavenX]

15. HEATHEN!!

STONE HIM!!

[sundog]

17. hahaha

:rofl:

:hi:

[WindRavenX]

21. I'll forgive ya

:pals:

[progmom]

20. i think he's already stoned

;)

[Catch22Dem]

14. I heard one of the songs had a sample of Kraftwerk's Computer Love

Which is funny because my daughter is using a Computer Love remix for a figure skating competition in July.

[Huckebein the Raven]

19. Uhhh yeah that's the ticket

:think:

The truth is I haven't really listened to their music

:shrug:

[Lindsey]

22. Love 'em and I can't wait to get their latest

tomorrow!
