Whoa, Nelly. I understand you're excited, but this is the most ridiculous sentence I've ever read on here. :doh:


ETA: By "on here" I meant Lemonade Stand. I've read more ridiculous statements in EYKIW. :wink:

Hahah....my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek when I typed that sentence.

Maybe I should have put :wink: next to it...

Damn. I guess my brand of humor is not yet known round these parts. It will be some day, oh yes, it will be!
 
Hey can I just mention on the link for HQ versions its Violet Hill in the zip and not Life In Technicolour which is disapointing hehehe. Any chance for LIT?:rolleyes:

Are any of the songs/links being passed around different than what's on the album----i.e., what's meant by "HQ version?" I'm actually holding out for my first listen to be off the cd, but I don't want to miss any variant versions!
 
Seems like the album is not having more than average reviews - besides one or two that rate it well.

And... Surprise! Almost all of those reviews constantly point U2 comparisons, or at least, Chris vs Bono comparisons.

Now, is it just a anti-Coldplay thing now?
 
Ok a balanced opinion. This album is the best album I have ever heard and better than anything U2 have EVER done!:drunk:
 
My first impression after 1 listen to the album:

Very enjoyable, much better than X&Y, but not as good as AROBTTH. It is very ambient and atmospheric, makes for pleasant listening. It is distinctly Coldplay, not much of a different sound from their previous albums.


After several more listens I'll give a more in depth review.
 
sigh....how hard is it to wait a week?

Apparently, Coldplay MySpace has the album playable in full, now that the album has been frustratingly leaked.
