Re: Coldplay New album 6/17/08
I like the two songs I've heard so far (Viva la Vida and Violet Hill), so I'll probably pick up the CD. Unless I win tickets to the Cleveland concert, there's no way I'm laying down $70+ to see them.

Re: Coldplay New album 6/17/08
Thomas,
Did you hear Viva la Vida on line? I have (and like) Violet Hill (very much). but have yet to hear any other songs from the new album.
I ALMOST bought some not-so-great seats for the Washington, DC show, but I really want to hear a bands new album BEFORE I plunk down (too much) money for a show where they are surely going to be playing most of that new album.

Re: Coldplay New album 6/17/08
I downloaded Violet Hill when they were offering it for free on their website. I liked it but am worried because it didn't sound too much different than what has come before. I'll still pick up the new album, as I've enjoyed the others, but hopefully they expand their sound a little in some of the other tracks.
DVD & Blu-ray - It's all about the movies!

I bought the track from iTunes. If you preorder the album there, you can get the track free, but I'll be getting a physical copy. |

You can hear the entire album online here:
Viva La Vida first listen.
This sounds delicious, soaring melodies, alternately dark and thematic...I just love their sound. An extension of X&Y but somewhat richer and more textured. Really very good!

Re: Coldplay New album 6/17/08
I *ahem* obtained it the other day (I'll still buy it) and listened to a few tracks. It seemed pretty good, but I wasn't expecting anything drastically different from their current "sound." I've always liked Brian Eno's production so it should be an interesting listen.

Re: Coldplay New album 6/17/08
My computer won't recognize the CD, but it works on my portable CD player. I've only come across one other report of this, so did I get a bad copy, or is everyone's CD like this?

My iTunes recognizes it, but I'm not sure what you mean by "your computer."

Re: Coldplay New album 6/17/08
Sorry, both of my DVD drives won't recognize the disc, so it's like there isn't even a disc in the drive when I put it in.

Hmm, you just may have a bad disc...mine was fine, no problems.

Re: Coldplay New album 6/17/08
Never mind, a reboot solved the problem. That's odd.
