nickGreenwood · Apr 11, 2005

May 23rd "Speed of Sound" single comes out
June 6th - "X&Y" comes out.
Track listing is as follows:
1. Square One
2. What If
3. White Shadows
4. Fix You
5. Talk
6. X&Y
7. Speed of Sound
8. A Message
9. Low
10. The Hardest Part
11. Swallowed In The Sea
12. Twisted Logic

Anyone looking forward to this as much as I am?
Parachutes was alright, a bit slow. A Rush of Blood to the Head was one of the best albums ever. Really makes me wonder how X&Y will be, they have a lot to live up to. But from what I hear so far it's pretty good.

these guys are two for two with me. love both parachutes and arobtth. i've probably listened to these albums dozens and dozens of times by now ... i have yet to grow tired of them.

if they come to sac, i will definitely see them again!

iTunes now has the first release "Speed of Sound" for download. I've listened to it three times and really enjoy it.

I can't freakin' wait for this new album. The best musical group currently out there!!

EricSchulz · Apr 20, 2005

I read a recent article on the new CD and it stated that this is probably their best yet, with a great array of pop/rock tracks and some tunes that are expected to be included in the live shows.

MSN Music also has "Speed of Sound" availble for purchase in Windows Media format. Great song and the sound quality is nice too!!!

You can listen to Speed of Sound single at Coldplay.com just sign up/in to their fan web access...Coldplay is my favorite band right now. I cant wait to add this new album to my Coldplay Ipod playlist!!! If anyone lives in the area, they are playing at the Coachella Valley Music Festival on April 30th. Check out details at Coachella Music

Post back here if you go, although there is likely a Coachella thread in this forum somewhere already i suppose. -R

I'm going to their concert here in Chicago on May 6th... I absolutely cannot wait!!

Eric Peterson · Apr 26, 2005

Have you got connections, or how do you know you can get tickets? That show is going to sell out in matter of a few minutes if not sooner. I'd like to go, but the last time that I tried to make it to a small show like that (Tool at the Riviera) it sold out in less than 3 minutes and I had to pay $300 for a scalped ticket. I like Coldplay, but there not worth $300.

Coldplay seems to have used some Radiohead influences on the new album. I've heard some of the songs, albeit live bootlegs from some shows they played earlier in the year. But nonetheless they sound great.
I think this is one of the most anticipated albums of the year. I still think A Rush of Blood to the Head is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Speed of Sound does sound really good. Especially turned up nice and lound on a good system.

Perry Jonkheer · Apr 26, 2005

No hookups here, but hopefully I'll get lucky. I don't think the concert has been talked about much so hopefully it won't be that hard to get tix.

Darren Conroy · Apr 27, 2005

I'll be looking forward to it slightly interested. I enjoyed A Rush of Blood to the Head, despite it not being the pick-me-up album I usually buy. But if they can keep the tracks distinctive and solid, like on ARoBttH, I think they may have a solid follow-up I might go for.

nickGreenwood · May 31, 2005

MTV (blah) has the album streaming.
http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/coldplay/896800/album.jhtml

It's not the greatest quality but I just can't wait for the album, I'm so there next Tuesday morning.

The video for Speed of Sound, while not what I thought it was going to be, nor can really any video compare to "The Scientist" it's a good video, you can probably check it out on the same MTV site.

Ted Lee · May 31, 2005

anyone going to the san francisco show? i got my tix via the coldplay pre-release doohickey.

BrianB · May 31, 2005

Jealous! Didn't get any in the first round (for the Dallas show), hopefully get some luck in the next draw.

Ted Lee · May 31, 2005

good luck brian!

just checked out the mtv stream ... it cut out about halfway but i liked what i heard. like it really matters cuz i'll *definitely* be picking this up.

the video was blah ... it was like they were testing out the stage lighting and decided to make a video out of it.

GuruAskew · May 31, 2005

How DARE you speak ill of a Mark Romanek-directed music video?!?!?

Ted Lee · May 31, 2005

eh...who is dat?

nickGreenwood · Jun 1, 2005

Mark Romanek directed Johnny Cash's "Hurt" video, among others, but I think Johnny's is his biggest one. He's a decent director, seems to be on the side of less is better when it comes to production and sets and such.

Got lawn seats. Not interested in paying money to be that far back, but the wife's a huge fan.
