  1. Releasing HFTW tomorrow (or rather today) makes sense because the 26th is when the weekend begins (for those who recognize thanksgiving holiday)!

    Fun (feat Tove Lo)

    The track preview has such a Canberries sound to it. I didn't listen to all the track previews (I still want some surprise) but I really love what I heard in this one!
  3. Well that was an exciting mix up! I vote ghost story.
  4. Sorry, I do like the song and I'm glad it made the top three, but I don't like it as much as midnight and fly on. I'm hoping fly on wins this. It's always been my favorite off this album because it's so simple yet heartfelt and beautifully sung.
  5. Wow! One of the band's best performances (most recently) in my opinion! Coldplay really shine through when they're singing about adversity and tough situations and take on a more melancholic approach. And Sparks! :surprised::happy2: Imagine was amazing too!
  6. This is such a tough round. All the songs are so unique and hard to compare. After much deliberation I'll vote for Atlas (because it's a movie soundtrack and not from the album).
  7. All your friends (the instrumentation sounds unoriginal, like a preloaded synth from a keyboard). And I'm surprised how a lot of people don't like magic. I think it's a great song for the fact that it's so chill. The lyrics aren't the best but it's really catchy and easy to get into. I'm never not in the mood for that song.

    Did Chris confirm that the last track features collaborations from Beyonce, Clayton, the band's kids, etc.? I listened to the X-Posure interview and it sounded like Chris only confirmed Noel for the last track and was referring to the whole album (not specifically Up&Up) when mentioning the other collaborators. Was there another interview I missed with more details?
  9. Not that I care how well Coldplay charts (other than to tie that record), but I figure the more preorders there are for both albums (25 and AHFOD), the better because they debut on different weeks. This way most of the people who will be buying Adele's album will have already purchased it in the first week, leaving less competition from 25 by the time AHFOD comes out. So I guess it's a good thing that 25 is on top right now.
  10. ^:laugh3:(@cp3176) Wow what a rant! I'm sorry some of your favorite songs from this era have already been eliminated but that's just the way this game works. And Fly On and O are being considered separate tracks for this elimination (it was decided in the MX elimination thread). These are the tracks left: So with that said and now that Ink is gone, someone please vote for O to save Oceans! (Interestingly though, I was looking through the lyrics for Ghost Stories on Coldplay's timeline and realized that the band consider Fly On and O to all be one song. They don't even post any lyrics fo
  11. O. Why is it still up there?! I hope everyone realizes O is different from Fly On and like 42Escapist said, just a coda.
  12. O. As enjoyable as it is, I don't think it has enough substance to be considered a song (more of just an outro). I consider it the same as MX, MMIX, and AHT.
  13. Tell me this isn't Chris: [ATTACH=CONFIG]32825[/ATTACH] That smile is totally Chris. Compare to this photo: [ATTACH=CONFIG]32826[/ATTACH] And not sure if it counts, but wasn't the AROBTTH era artwork based on headshots of the band members?
  14. Totally agree with you guys on leaving hidden tracks "hidden". Would've been so much better if we discovered the track on our first listen. The only mystery now is where this song will be in the tracklist. I'm going to randomly guess between Amazing Day and Colour Spectrum. Or maybe Colour Spectrum is just an instrumental and this comes after? If we don't get any more hidden tracks, I'm really hoping for a couple B-sides (though highly doubtful considering AOAL has no B-sides).

    I have high expectations for this song given Coldplay's history with closing tracks (not including hidden tracks): Everything's Not Lost Amsterdam Twisted Logic Death And All His Friends Up With The Birds O (Fly On) All of these are spectacular songs and end the album on a high note (Especially when considering the last two albums whose closing tracks were generally well received by all fans). Also, it'll likely be the last track from Coldplay for a couple of years (considering the talk of a hiatus after AHFOD) so I would expect them to end with a banging track. On another note,
  16. Listening to both Amazing Day and AOAL I noticed both songs are very bass driven and groovy. Maybe that'll be a common theme for this album? All the tracks will be relatively groovy and danceable? Amazing Day is quite relaxing after the fast paced AOAL. Can't wait for the studio version (or the whole album for that matter!).
  17. Yes, if you listen closely she features on the very last "woohoo" of Adventure of A Lifetime. J/K haha but it sure does sound like a woman (unless that's just Chris 0.o?)
  18. Thanks, just saw that. Maybe the 9-track list was an earlier version? Who knows... the more tracks the better though!
  19. I'm confused. There's two different track listings i've seen. One from the band's store: [ATTACH=CONFIG]32768[/ATTACH] and one from amazon:[ATTACH=CONFIG]32769[/ATTACH]
  20. from amazon: Product Description Coldplay release their seventh album, A Head Full Of Dreams, on Friday, December 4 via Parlophone Records. The album, recorded in Malibu, LA and London, was produced by Norwegian duo Stargate together with the band’s long-time collaborator Rik Simpson. It features more guests than any previous Coldplay record, with Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo and Merry Clayton among those appearing across its 11 tracks (12 if you count the buried treasure of the hidden track X Marks The Spot). A Head Full Of Dreams is the widescreen follow-up to 2014’s fragile
  21. I love AOAL! It's so groovy! (although really different for coldplay so I'm expecting some haters haha). Also (sorry if this has been posted) it looks like the second single will be "Hymn For the Weekend" according to Amazon's cover art fort the album: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017IS0HY0?tag=smarturl-gb-21 [ATTACH=CONFIG]32766[/ATTACH] I'm guessing we'll get HFTW before the album release because it uses the two songs to entice buyers (meaning people are familiar with them).
  22. If you guys want a chat room I would suggest tiny chat. How about #aoal? We can use the url http://tinychat.com/aoal
