So as far as I can tell, we still need a good quality version of Life In Technicolor. But apart from that, I'm wondering if the versions of Viva La Vida and Violet Hill that we have are any different to what will ultimately appear on the album. I'm hearing that supposedly Viva segues into Violet Hill, which I can easily see.
The original leaker really didn't know what they were doing. He did the songs one by one and didn't bother with Technicolor because he got confused between that and the bonus track attached to Death And All His Friends. And then, because Viva and VH are already out, he didn't bother uploading the album versions of those, either (I'm not sure if there's any difference, though - other than the potential segue).
Why he didn't just do one zip or rar file of the whole thing is perplexing, to say the least.

It's an mp3, so add that to the end of the file and it should work.

Why would I want to do something like that? It's not 1986 anymore.
The leak is too poor quality-wise for me to not pick it up in on CD anyway.

How do these things leak anyway? Where does the first person find the files???

Chris Martin lost his copy in the bathroom - true story.

It's usually leaked by someone who either works for the label, or has provided a promo copy to somebody else (the most likely scenario). When I worked at a record store, I used to get promos of things weeks before they came out.

What are you talking about? There's always a fuss here when it comes to Coldplay.
What will happen in EYKIW when they find out that this album is excellent? They're all gonna freak out that it's the end of U2 or something and pan it.

This one guy on rateyourmusic said this album will bury U2.

lol. i wonder if he based his opinion on the beach clip. maybe he thought U2 was going experimental by mixing cars and wind noises over their music.

He probably is basing his opinion on a record U2 made 4 years ago.
Makes as much sense as basing your entire opinion of Coldplay on X&Y.

I guarantee good albums such as Viva la Vida are only going to push U2 higher. And I'm not saying that as a biased, long-time U2 fan. Years ago U2 claimed to be the best/biggest band in the world and they urged others to compete and quit shying away from success. Well, Coldplay is a contender. U2 is effing Muhammad Ali though.

which some people on this forum where doing until this album was released I'd like to point out

That's really optimistic thinking. I hope you are right. I just have my doubts.

Very true. U2 has never been one to roll over in the face of competition, and now is their chance to really step it up. If Eno brings his A game, we're going to have a classic on our hands.
Thanks. I think its ok. Though I prefer more fast/upbeat/catchy songs
Yes I know, very cliche. Is there one like that ? I dont want to admit I liked the ipod commercial song, but yeah..

Ha, not really. Most of us are really digging Viva, but I think you're the only one who's claimed it's one of the best of the decade.
U2 will be fine.- Status
