About Coldplay's next album...

[IrishDawg]

I love the X&Y album. I humbly apologise.

I hated it when it first came out, but I listened to it about 2 weeks ago and it wasn' that bad. The singles kinda sucked though (Speed of Sound, Fix You...).

The bass riff in white shadows is groovetastic

Supposedly due for release in September 2007. Bring it on I say..

The less time a band spends recording an album, the better it usually is.

 

[LMP]

Enough time to compare it to Radiohead's LP7

 

[xaviMF22]

something is happening

http://www.coldplay.com/

they are doing updates....

 

[BoMac]

The pictures are obviously very recent.

Jonny's photo dates back to at least the middle of May as per the headline of this article:

Coldplay... hmm yeah here's a band badly in the need of re-invention. I thought that Parachutes was a quietly charming, low-key debut; follow-up was uneven but still a right step towards bigger sound; while X&Y was all awash in grandiosity and lush epic production but had two decent memorable songs at the most.

Of course the catch with re-invention and trying new things is that you might just end up showing your limitations as a band while attempting things beyond your range and talent. I still look forward to Coldplay's new one though if only out of curiosity what they end up doing next.

The new site is interesting, although I'm having difficulty navigating it. The new layout and stars could be a hint that the new album is progressing faster than we think, even to the point of having an artwork scheme.

Regardless, I'd be willing to bet my left testicle that it isn't released in September.

Album title:

PROSPEKT



...apparently

PROSPEKT

lame

I don't like the new website, it's confusing and apparently they're ripping off U2 with their website now too - with the bizarre (and useless) timeline bar.

The funny writing may be cute to some people but I can barely make out what it says, did his daughter do it or something?

coldplay.com >>> u2.com

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I dunno, I think they're about tied right now...

 

[xaviMF22]

c'mon elevated... U2..... fan


U2.com is like the best site ever


U2.com invented timelines remember??

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

c'mon xavi... MF..... 22

Of course I know that U2 invented the timeline (they also invented the Internet )

All I'm sayin' is that U2.com looks slightly more "professional" currently than Coldplay.com...

Coldplay.com looks like it was designed by a 3 year old while we all know that U2.com is run by 3 year olds...

what do you think of "PROSPEKT" btw?

 

[LemonMelon]

Analogy of the day.

ha ha

professional...thats another word for it

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

well I did use quotes

Seriously, I'm thinking of starting a petiton to convince them to change the title of the album if they stay with "PROSPEKT"

 

[xaviMF22]

u2.com is so fucking cluttered

it sucks

 

[impy13]

Nowhere has it said Prospekt is the album title. From how I read it, someone close to the studio is referring to him or herself as prospekt. Probably Phil.

Anyway, apparently the album is slated for February or March. We'll see if that holds up.

 

[Aygo]

I don't like too the new site. I prefered the old one. And that handwritting is too confusing, I almost can't read it...

Instead, wait for more news from the album... seems a bit secret

 

[LMP]

 

[impy13]

Jonny looks quite enthused there.

 

[LMP]

It's probably because he's in first-class.

 

[BoMac]

So there's an update at: http://www.coldplay.com/

From what I understand ( for the love of all things holy please get rid of the illegible handwriting!) the band along with Brian Eno have been recording in Barcelona. Apparently, the album will have some Spanish/Latin influence. Sounds very interesting....but very familiar.

Where have I heard this before?

 

[LMP]

Eric Clapton, is that you?

 

[gareth brown]

sound like something Bono would write

the song's actually based on a hymn written hundreds of years ago

[Slipstream]

That is a really crappy website they have. I suppose it will get better but man I had real issues trying to read things on there. For launching of a new website that might just be the worst one ever.

 

[U2isthebest]

That website makes my head hurt. A couple months ago they said they were going have to have a strong rock influence. Now it's Latin?

Maybe we're going to get a cross between Pearl Jam and Menudo!

Pearnudo, anyone?
