New Coldplay album: miss The Simpsons to hear it online

coldplay

Want to wrap your ears around the new Coldplay album some days before its official release? Head to their MySpace right now.

Viva La Vida... will be available to hear in full from 6pm tonight (June 6) - about now, then. Or not right now, as we're on it and it's still got 'Trouble' up there.

Click HERE to get your pre-release kicks.

The album proper is released on June 12, a Thursday. Crazy times.



  • They're trying their best

    in every way to "do a Radiohead" with this album, gimmick after gimmick.

    I'll only be downloading the good stuff from it anyhoo.

    • and anyway

      this simpsons episode is a classic.
      WE PUT THE SPRING IN SPRINGFIELD.

      fuck coldplay

    • But loads of bands have a preview of the album online

      REM did it recently and loads of not as big bands do it as well, eg Fleet Foxes and Twilight Sad. So this isn't really much of a gimmick.

      • I'm sorry, but what good stuff could ever come from this?

      • By gimmick I'm talking about...

        the whole French Revolution thing, the terrible iPod adverts, the releasing it on a Thursday etc... okay they're not exactly gimmicks, but you get what I mean.

        • Now

          at 8.30pm, it would seem. *tension*

          • presumably too many people were watching The Simpsons

            • you call them gimmicks because you hate Coldplay?

              that's cool man, just admit it

              • French Revolution?

                ...

                • I don't hate Coldplay at all

                  I'd just rather them release an album, you know? Without having to do that annoying advert etc

                • The clothes they're wearing to promote the album...

                  are kinda inspired from that era / thing

                  • have they taken it off again

                    or did it never go up?

                    • there's a secret panel

                      you need to click on...

                      it's not a particularly instant sounding record - to be fair and not damn it on first impressions!

                  • eno

                    certainly ought to hang his head in shame about this. there is no justification for having anything to do with it other than private education fees for his kids or mortgage repayments on his notting hill offices. disgusting. shown his true colours. allegedly he said coldplay are the sort of band who 'live on the creative edge'! haha

                    • LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME CEMETARY OF LONDON IS A BAD SONG!!

                      I dares thee!

                      hehhe. So shoot me... I likes the Coldplay...meh.

                      • still dont understand

                        how to listen to it...

                      • there's nothing wrong with the actual songs on this record

                        but yet again the production is cleaner than a fucking detox factory - it makes it hard to listen to. if coldplay just recorded their songs live of something they'd be an excellent band

                        • Mince

                          Put simply, Coldplay are shite!!!

                          OK?

                          Anyone disagree?

                          • loads of bands do that type of thing

                          • yes

                            but too much gloss on these songs - couple more stripped down wouldn't go a miss. bet this record sounds great live though

                          • ummm

                            you do realise that he produced some U2 records?

                          • I disagree.

                            Do you want a fight then ?

                        • Brian Eno produced it didn't he?
