Coldplay news thread

Did anyone buy this? What did you think?

I liked 'Life in Technicolour II' - the vocals really work with the previous instrumental and it's good that is getting play on the radio.

Not so keen on 'Lost +' - it really doesn't need Jay Zee on it.

And I can't tell the differences between the album version of 'Lovers in Japan' and the Osaka mix.

As for the new tracks 'Postcards from Far Away' is so beautiful but ends just as it's about to start. 'Rainy Day' is good but my favourite has to be the hymnlike 'Now my Feet won't touch the ground'.

They've also done a new single with Kylie called 'Lhuna' which is very moody and atmopheric. Nice though.

I quite liked the EP, bit of a stop gap and clean the floor ep.

Its not a need to listen ep, but i wont say no if its put on.

[borneoman]

but the Kylie song is not in the EP, is it? Thought it was a charity song off this Red Cross thing?

[Laurence]

Kylie single is not on the EP. Thought I'd combine both topics for this thread though...

Might as well change this to a Coldplay's news thread.

I'm seeing them next year at Wembley stadium - Girls Aloud were added for the second date but I've got Jay Z. Meh!


They've also got seven Grammy nominations:


Coldplay has been nominated for seven Grammy Award nominations in the 51st Annual Grammy Awards:Album of the Year (fot Viva La Vida or Death and All his Friends), Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group (for 'Viva La Vida'), Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group(for 'Violet Hill') and Best Rock Album(for 'Viva La Vida or Death and All his Friends')

I love Coldplay but they have TERRIBLE support acts!!! I can sort of understand Jay Z as the band love him, although I can't imagine a lot of their fans enjoying him. But Girls Aloud!? Oh dear!!!

What you call a wide variety of music styles!
