Impressions from the listening party in Austin: Special Edition Review: Coldplay’s Upcoming “Mylo Xyloto”?|?Austin Girl Music Guide

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fangirl ravings.

Still, sounds good. Excited to hear the album.

I like Paradise quite a bit, by the way. It's grown on me over the last couple of days.

 

[Imperor]

I know a girl who worked at that hotel. She is an atrocious human being.

 

[cobl04]

Just watching an interview with them now... the album's only 45 minutes long.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

WHY ARE THERE ONLY TWO OF THEM THERE.

That's like 1/2 the band.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh wait, never mind.

Just found an interesting Music Week article about the new album (including, among other things, a track-by-track preview): Music Week - Music Week - Music business magazine - Coldplay exclusive: band talk to MW about new album

09 UFO
That’s the acoustic… that was the first song written for the album actually and the chord sequence in it pops up a few times. And that’s a kind of prayer “times” kind of song. There’s a lot of feeling lost on the album but also being found as well and that’s very much a bit of both.

brian eno allowed an acoustic song on an album, without a bunch of signature eno ambient bells and whistles? you mean the band ultimately decided the direction of the song? i don't believe it...

oh-oh the "R" word rears it's ugly head and no plans to tour...

Coldplay taking cues from U2 taking cues from R.E.M.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Chris Martin is so indie.

 

[nielsgov]

Chris Martin is so indie.

lol.

If he's serious why does he release songs like ETIAW?

 

[LemonMelon]

Because every teardrop IS a waterfall.

All he's got is a red piano, Brian Eno, and the truth.

[intedomine]

Hard to take such glowing acclaim for the album seriously, when the album has Teardrops = Waterfalls smack bang in the middle of the disc.

 

[MadForIt]

how many Wooooooahhhhhhhs and wooooooooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhs will be on this album?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Leak?

 

[bono_212]

Finally heard "Paradise". Like it, but the chorus is REALLY weak.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

how many Wooooooahhhhhhhs and wooooooooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhs will be on this album?

I believe he [Chris Martin] oscillates between wooooaaahhs and ooooooooooohs.

 

[Scrumps]

I'd like to champion some optimism for this maligned album that hasn't yet been released. Sadly the singles are the weakest tracks I've heard, but ETIAW is just happy, inoffensive fluff and the other stuff I've heard live is bread and butter Coldplay.

I'm so positive about Charlie Brown, Hurts Like Heaven and Us Against the World that I can ignore the mainstream pandering of the singles and have faith that the album as a whole will deliver!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Where's the leak at?

Listening to Charlie Brown right now, actually.

Where's the leak at?

Nowhere, as of yet.

Spoiler

The CDs have to go into production soon, though. My guess is that it'll leak in a week or two.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

How come coldplay keep their albums from leaking better than every other act?

 

[LemonMelon]

Because nobody wants to play their stupid album.

Spoiler

But seriously, where's the leak?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Paradise is so much better than Every Teardrop.

Shit ain't even funny.

 

[intedomine]

Paradise is so much better than Every Teardrop.

Shit ain't even funny.

Too right

 

[subnet]

i just checked usenet and "the scene".....not yet available

 

[mikal]

yeah, this album won't leak for another 2 weeks at least.

How come coldplay keep their albums from leaking better than every other act?

Not every act, actually I don't recall NLOTH leaking until iTunes Australia bolloxed the official release by a fortnight, long enough for someone to buy it then torrent and then the Japanese versions were onsale a week prior to NA and Europe...

I see Cwis's being interviewed drunk as a shite again...

Coldplay "jealous" of Adele, Lady GaGa, Jay-Z - Music News - Digital Spy

...jealous of "Use Somebody" ? wow...

 

[nirniva]

How come coldplay keep their albums from leaking better than every other act?

I don't know...didn't Viva La Vida not leak until about a week from release day?
