ewww...sounds.....smth wrng? grats on the album though. I like coldplay haha.

Thank you! Can't wait. Loved X and Y and Rush of Blood. Must say that the title seems something that Coheed and Cambria would name their album

Next up, I need some U2 and Snow Patrol

just listened to the single on XFM. its ok aje. maybe need further listening to really like it.

Hahaha. That was what I felt at first. Further listening, makes this track addictive.

Catchy beat.

OMG at first i thought, wah free song! after listenin to it, i feel like wanting to shift+del it already, what a sucky track.. i still think "fix you" is their best song...

violet hill not bad.. i just like it

Not bad. Maybe not as good as Fix you/Yellow gang but still it's a Coldplay trademark sound. With moore distorted guitar effects.

The whole album was great. The Hardest Part is my favorite song though - not a popular choice but I love it. Talk is great as is Speed of Sound as is Fix You.

Cannot la..they ask me for id and password..dunno hw nw..haha

Link for those who do not want to go through that email process.

If u're really a Coldplay fan, u wouldnt say its a sucky song. Yes Fix U is great and whatever, but u cant expect them to do another Fix U, rite? For me, its an ok song. Still a Coldplay trademark song.

And my fav Coldplay song will be "Shiver". Familiar? No? Hehe.

I actually like the new song. Atleast something different from them

oh well,sorry, frankly am not a Coldplay fan, basically they're just a pre-"Kid A" Radiohead wannabe band, but i still like some of their songs..
Shiver? thats my fav song too,
"Did you want me to change?
Well I'd change for good"

eh free mp3, why not?

i pretty much like their new song. cant wait for their album release!!

I actually don't notice that much of a difference from their music but it still sounds good.

Their new song is pretty good lah to me although i'm not a huge fan of Coldplay.. Hehe..

not bad..just dl-ed it and listented to it once.i gotta say that this is a good new material from them.hope there's more to come.

I like the lo-fi sound.

It sounded raw.

i love the 1st and 2nd album most...

this new song is pretty good

Just downloaded 'Violet Hill'.... it is Coldplay stuff alright. My fav song ever from Coldplay is 'Yellow'.

the video for the first single(viva la vida) will out soon,cant wait for the album!!!

Violet Hill already has a video - saw it in the gym this morning.

ya,my bad...

lol, whats with the vidz? xde arah tujuan or what? its really weird go check it out on youtube. but, the song is good! although like it after 5 - 6 time hearin it. viva la vida was really2 great. first time hearin u will love it.

really a competitor for onerepublic. right?

Coldplay are on a different league!

The video reminded me of the Beatles.

The Scientist and Dont Panic is my favorite....i sang the scientist to my girlfriend and she cried ..that powerful

Another of my favorites



Till Kingdom Come - dedicated to the late Johnny Cash.

I just hope Malaysia will be dropped into the Asian leg of their World tour in August.

lol just my thoughts but for me, CP just like a senior for onerepublic (for me la )

but, 2 singles release after one?? in a good charts? wonder if the two of it will come up through number 1??

No, no, no.
Dont put Coldplay beside OneRepublic's name. Very different league.
Its offensive for britrock fans. Hehe.

There are similarity yes, specially One's Stop&Stare. But maybe in guitar riffs etc.

If u want comparison for Coldplay, maybe Radiohead and bits of Travis.
For OneRep, The Fray.

another one of your coldplay fan rite here guys. yesh me baby lol

well ive been a coldplay fan for like 8 years now and i think oveall they have done well but still need to come out more albums in the future

the albums parachutes , a rush of blood to the head plus x&y & now vivda la vida has been some really nice songs in it

as for the album now they have release two singles, violet hill & viva la vida

violet hill for me was 1st ok but as for viva la vida, well it was coldplay's all time come back. the sound of it was cool with the guitars, drums, and all other kinds of sounds beats. the video for viva la vida on itunes was nice with the background colours and all

hope the next single will be even more sweet then two or the single release

Damn it, LEAK already. First three albums on loop in iPod and iTunes!

no no. OneRepublic is a good competitor HAHAHAHA

ok. maybe not. true that

leak?? same as OneRepublic before. so, its the same rite??

here's lovers in japan: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wGtvjOA5OGQ
really awesome song but it's an acoustic version. if you do a little bit of digging on youtube, you can find a full live version that they did on the jimmy kimmel show, which is more awesome-er. they played another new track called chinese sleep chant. hmm.. it seems they kinda like asia.

i for one have only listened to lovers in japan once and heard 10 seconds of chinese sleep chant. i really have to control myself not to spoil the album. right now i'm already a bit muak of viva la vida... hehe... super-awesome song, but when you listen to it every hour of everyday... well...

edit: here's the live version of lovers in japan! http://youtube.com/watch?v=CUi15bVkpy0&feature=related
it's not the full version though

Seriously, Viva la Vida is an awesome song. I just had to tap my feet and bang my head as the song went.

here's the Coldplay - Apple iTunes Viva La Vida promo

just saw the apple ad. awesome ad. i seriously would not mind it if the real viva la vida video looked just like that.

Its not about competition lah kawan. Its more of the genre itself.
So many britrock wannabes from US nowadays but I'm not saying OneRep is one of them.
Like I said, OneRep has its own concept. Similar to TheFray which is also from US.
If u listen to OneRep's album and Coldplay's albums, u'll know what I mean lah.

Viva La Viva is very different from Coldplay's previous album. Its like an experimental.

Traccia 10 has to be the best piece of shit I've listened to this year

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

man guys i cant top singing to this song "viva la vida"!!! its like the best single on the album and i cat stop watching the itunes add video. hope the real video for viva la vida will be something like that!

and its work brilliantly...

dude i suggest waiting till the album comes out, then you can splurge on your coldplay cravings. just ban yourself from hearing anything from viva la vida for the next few days, and when the album comes out just imagine the satisfaction you'll get when hearing all the new songs in one go. it's like masturbation: tension, tension, tension... release. trust me, it works.

btw, you guys seen the MTV movie awards performance? to be honest... chris martin's voice sucked... it sounded like he was straining the words out or something. a bit dissapointing but still cool. the church bell is such an awesome instrument. here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=y-S-Q00kGic

Added on June 7, 2008, 1:29 amok guys all coldplay songs are on torrents and on limewire as well for the new album viva la vida or death and all his friends.

well i rate the album as 8/10 cause the songs in the album were way far better then any other songs they have made from their last album's. trust me guys if you were a true coldplay fan you would just simple close your eyes and rate this album as one of the best coldplay's album of all time. be sure to check out and listen to their new songs. "coldplay the best british band in the world!!!"

NO!
YOU GOT THE ALBUM OFF A TORRENT??!
*passes out

u got plans for buyin it?? since ur ColdPlay's fan, same what i did with OneRepublic, downlod it first but after that, bought their album, only it was Malaysian Edition.

I havent even heard violet hill yet, just going thru the album for the first time up to track 3 now. I'm liking it so far.

yeah man im gonna buy it of course i mean the effort and time they put in this would be waste if i dont buy their album. i downloaded it cause i couldnt wait any more longer and felt so good listening to all their song after such a long time when the X&Y album was out. but yeah man i would buy their album just for "Coldplay"

I surprisingly enjoy this album very much. Almost all of the tracks are very enjoyable and it's pretty upbeat, which is a plus point considering their previous melancholic albums. I can't even list down my fav tracks.

I love the first minute of Vida la vida, reminds me of Eleanor Rigby and although the instrumental part in 42 sounds like a rip-off from Bodysnatchers, still a good song.

This post has been edited by Makakeke: Jun 10 2008, 08:40 PM

great to hear. well if u ask me if im CP fans too, well IM NOT

only onerepublic inspires from CP, thats the story

haha yeah OneRepublic is not bad as Coldplay if you ask me cause their not that really diffrent from each other plus i think there is some songs connection between the two bands and i love when they use their falsetto in some songs

o rite guys just got an email from coldplay just now and yes its good news that you guys have been finally waiting for

I wonder when they will come here...
the came to singapore i think last year...
hmm.. poor us..

hey guys are the cd's for the new album viva la vida from coldplay out yet here in malaysia? thanks

japan, uk, aussie and some part of europe already got their copy..

finally, no more crappy 1st track

i got my coldplay cd . i think the new album is ok . i kinda hate violet hill but i like viva la vida and 42 ( reminds me of pulp wash the dishes song )

oh cool where did you get it from?

well that means it out already here in malaysia

gonna go get it in some hours time lol

42 : creepy song....

Not until they go into the Bodysnatchers instrumental tune and the bridge which I thought was pretty cool. It's one of my fav songs in the album.

Current fav - Death and All His Friends.

compare to the previous album, which is the best?? i notice that the two single songs were really2 different with the previous single, examples= FIX YOU. a different, and far more touching for me!

well talking bout the previous album. look what has viva la vida album has done to all the coldplay albums...

In the UK it sold 125,000 copies in the first day and 302,074 in three days debuting at #1. It's expected to become the UK's second fastest selling record beating Coldplay's 2005 release X&Y in whole week sales

well even thou the album got leaked throu the internet quickly, that dont bother people from buying their ablums and see their album debut 1st

violet hill, viva la vida, good singles so far release by the band and cant wait for the 3rd single. oh yeah and im still waiting for the video of viva la vida. the itunes commercial was great but that wont be the video for it as now their already set to direct the music video for the song on a Dutch beach. will this be something like the video "yellow" ??? hmm...

This post has been edited by Calvin871989: Jun 17 2008, 11:32 PM

Square One's crappy?!

42 sounds like it's taken out of Hitchhiker's Guide

i feel like square one and life in technicolour have some sorts of musical similarities between each other during its opening of the song

I had to review for the song of Violet Hill because the finale of Grey's Anatomy s4 actually have the song in the midst of it. I thought it was good for the show's scene but when I listen to the full song.. it makes me think its a random attempt of British guy to take on country/cowboy theme.... my POV only....

Death and All His Friends is worth listening. And Viva La Vida is good too.. both deserved to be as the title... unlike their previous albums...

kinda normal... subtle.. but doesn't compare to their previous RushofBloodtotheHead album....

FREE download ? where?

I meant the leaked Life In Technicolor

square one was good oso!! one of the best coldplay songs!

don't you think CP's idea of their next album is about life and death?? and their instrument playin' was far more different than the previous one.

FYI, im startin' to love CP's old song. im waaaay far from Death and All His Friends now!

how abt lost?

the lyric is awesome

The band have stated that the track 'Lost!' resulted from listening to the early Blur track "Sing", as featured on Blur's debut album Leisure, while they were on tour in the United States

In the UK, the week ending 21 June, the song "Lost!" charted at #62 without being released as a single and is highly rumoured to be the third single off the album.

could this be their next single?

yea~i won the consolation prize for the contest!!goin to pickup the prize tomorrow!

wow. damn you lucky guy. lol so what was the consolation prize? can give me ah? haha nah jk man well congrats anway

what a great album... two thumbs up!!! COLDPLAY for life

gonna buy the album!!!!

thats good you loved it as i loved it to when i bought the album last week and listened to it

Yet another record breaking by coldplay...



i know you're a fan of john mayer but sorry to say this kobe

... By the end of June 2008, Viva la Vida had sold more downloads than any album in digital history, surpassing the previous record held by John Mayer's Continuum

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_wat...and-all-his-cds




Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums.


1. Coldplay, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, 249,000. This is Coldplay's second album in a row to log two or more weeks at #1. X&Y held the top spot for three weeks in 2005. Who was the last artist to have back-to-back #1 albums that both had multiple weeks on top? Mariah Carey. Three songs from Coldplay's album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Viva La Vida," which dips from #3 to #4.

2. Lil Wayne, Tha Carter III, 209,000. Two weeks after debuting at #1 with the biggest one-week sales total in more than three years, the album holds at #2. In just three weeks, this has become the best-selling album of Lil Wayne's nine-year career. That distinction was held by Tha Carter II, which (as of this week) has sold 1,386,000 copies. Six songs from the new album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Lollipop" (featuring Static Major), which holds at #8.

3. Various Artists, Camp Rock soundtrack, 169,000. The TV soundtrack holds at #3 for the second straight week. This is off to a much faster start than the first High School Musical soundtrack, which took seven weeks to crack the top five (in February 2006). The second HSM soundtrack debuted at #1 with sales of 615,000. Five songs from Camp Rock are listed on Hot Digital Songs.

4. Motley Crue, Saints Of Los Angeles, 99,000. This is the Los Angeles-based band's fifth top five album--and its first since Generation Swine in 1997. The Crue first hit the album chart 25 years ago this October. The band reached its zenith between 1987 and 1991 when it released three consecutive albums that hit #1 or #2. The new album may have the most L.A.-centric title since Rage Against The Machine's The Battle Of Los Angeles hit #1 in 1999. The title track to the new album enters Hot Digital Songs at #115.

5. Three 6 Mafia, Last 2 Walk, 77,000. This is the hip-hop act's first album release since core members Jordan Houston and Paul Beauregard won an Oscar in 2006 for co-writing "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" from Hustle & Flow. This is Three 6 Mafia's second studio album in a row to reach the top five. The act hit #3 in 2005 with Most Known Unknown. Two songs from the new album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)," which jumps from #21 to #17.


6. Various Artists, NOW 28, 66,000. In its fourth week, the compilation slips from #4 to #6. A NOW album has appeared in the top 10 in 15 of the first 26 weeks of 2008. So although the franchise is off its peak pace, it is still competitive.

7. Usher, Here I Stand, 52,000. Four weeks after debuting at #1, Usher slips from #6 to #7. He's standing, true to the title, just not quite as tall as he did with his last album. The album is #8 for the year to date. Three songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Love In This Club" (featuring Young Jeezy), which dips from #30 to #38.

8. Shinedown, The Sound Of Madness, 50,000. This is the Florida-based rock group's first top 10 album. Shinedown's previous highest-charting album was its sophomore set, Us And Them, which hit #23 in 2005. The band's 2003 debut, Leave A Whisper, hits the Catalog Albums chart at #152. It sold 2,000 copies this week, bringing its total to 1,187,000.

9. Disturbed, Indestructible, 50,000. Three weeks after debuting at #1, the hard rock band dips from #8 to #9. The album has sold 464,000 copies in four weeks, almost exactly the same number as NOW 28, which was released the same week. "Inside The Fire" holds at #90 on Hot Digital Songs.

10. Rihanna, Good Girl Gone Bad, 47,000. This platinum album has logged four weeks in the top 10, two when it was first issued a year ago and now two more on the heels of the release of an expanded, Reloaded edition. With all this success, I think it's time to change the title from Good Girl Gone Bad to Bad Girl Done Good. (And I mean "bad" in the hip sense.) Five songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Disturbia," which jumps from #6 to #5.

Viva la vida is just ok to me.

the album or the song man? lol

if you're talking bout the album then yeah i think its gotta be one of the albums this year that got everybody listening to the trakcs that were on the album

as for the song thou, its just brilliant... the song "viva la vida" is just something to do with the piano and guitar together. also with the string part of the song upbeat, the bass guitar and the drum beat plus the vocals of chris martin
