New Coldplay album in 2009

[coemgen]

This from RollingStone.com:

Coldplay’s Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends is barely two months old and already the band are aiming for a 2009 release for their next album. The sessions the band had with producer Brian Eno were so “incredibly fruitful,” a source at Coldplay’s label EMI said, that they recorded more music than a single album could house. “The majority of the follow-up is already in the can, though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs,” the source told the U.K.’s Telegraph. So why the rush? The source speculates that after this upcoming album — which would be the band’s fifth — could be combined with an obligatory greatest hits compilation to fulfill their contractual obligation to their label. Chris Martin has already hinted at a new record in 2009, saying it would be the likely destination of the band’s collaboration with singer Kylie Minogue.

“incredibly fruitful”

Yup, sounds like a pretty good description of Coldplay.

 

[coemgen]

One of them did produce an Apple.

Why isn't this thread in EYKIW?

 

[coemgen]

Because I put it here.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

right over his head...

I'm looking forward to this, the good, the bad and the Kylie Minogue...

 

[Zoots]

EYKIW response prediction:

Bono collaborated with Mary J Blige so now Chris Martin has to collaborate with Kylie.

 

[coemgen]

right over his head...

Yes. Yes it was. A thread from another site?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm down with a Kylie collabo. She's always nice on the eyes and I actually really enjoy the song she did with Robbie Williams a few years back. It was goofy as hell, but also very fun.

 

[coemgen]

Yes. Yes it was. A thread from another site?

Oh wait, Everything You Know is Wrong.

I'll just be over here if you need me.

Promising, though bands always seem to say that and it still ends up taking 2 to 4 years.

U2, for one.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

U2, for one.

U2

We still haven't heard Solar, yet. Those bastards.

 

[u2popmofo]

U2, for one.

Exactly, and since according to this site, Coldplay base everything they do on U2, that must be their strategy - lie about how quickly you'll release a new album, and just continue the every 4 years thing.

 

[U2isthebest]

If this is true, and th album is as good as "Viva La Vida"...fucking bring it on!

 

[bono_man2002]

Isn't this old news?

 

[coemgen]

Isn't this old news?

Yes, I just thought I'd post old news for fun.

 

[BVS]

So is their Zooropa? Quick follow up released during their tour...

 

[Zoots]

So is their Zooropa? Quick follow up released during their tour...

lol. Are you serious? Why should their every move be compared to U2?

 

[u2popmofo]

It's funny how U2 fans think 2 years is "fast".

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

neato.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

So is their Zooropa? Quick follow up released during their tour...

No, Viva La Vida was their Unforgettable Fire so this next one has to be their Joshua Tree.

Duh!

 

[Zoots]

No, Viva La Vida was their Unforgettable Fire so this next one has to be their Joshua Tree.

Duh!

Coldplay thinks ahead, fool! They jumped from UF straight to Zooropa.

 

[bono_man2002]

Yes, I just thought I'd post old news for fun.

Well, I just thought I'd read a simalar article about a month ago.

Promising, though bands always seem to say that and it still ends up taking 2 to 4 years.

I believe Mr. Peter Gabriel said that he was putting an album out per year. Nearly 8 or 9 years ago now that was.

 

[Utoo]

I'm curious as to what separated the material into two distinct albums---why some songs ended up on VLVODAAHF and why others were chosen for the second. Cool.

 

[powerhour24]

<--- for quick follow-up!
<--- for Kylie collab.

Neither of these items are new revelations.

 

[BVS]

lol. Are you serious? Why should their every move be compared to U2?

No, I was just poking fun at how this forum measures every one of Coldplay's moves on U2 career...

I figured I'd beat them to the punch.
