pushbacktosquare Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just got back from the secret show in LA where they played this album the whole way through. This album is awesome. It's very slow except A Sky Full of Stars, that song is very Mylo Xyloto sounding. The album reminds me a lot of Parachutes and A Rush of Blood To The Head. That being said, it really is a mix of every single album they've done so far, but mostly on everything pre-Viva La Vida. Can't wait to hear it recorded! You were there?! I was too! It was amazing. I think the track you're speaking about will be the next single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I hope it's the next single. My friend went tonight too and apparently it was a whole lot less organized. They restarted a few of the songs when they messed up and security was there this time after the show cause everyone rushed the stage after for the picks/setlists. A night I will not forget!

miracleandwonder Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 So are we getting this on vinyl or not? I figured a preorder would be up by now considering how they are one of the biggest bands in music and do appeal to a vinyl demographic. I have all the albums including the Prospekt's March EP on vinyl and I want this one too, but I refuse to buy cd or digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 http://www.recordstore.co.uk/recordstore/recordstore/Ghost-Stories/37I50000000 So far I've only seen this preorder for those in the UK. It doesn't make sense that the US wouldn't get a pressing but the lack of preorders makes me wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miracleandwonder Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 ^ Nice to know you've already made assumptions about me when I've only posted twice on this forum, this topic and about Pearl Jam reissues. I am 34... I'm part of the generation that heard vinyl as a kid through my parents and older siblings but saw it be phased out by the time I was old enough to buy music of my own... I had CD's shoved down my throat. I prefer vinyl, scuse me!! CD is a format that I have no intention on returning to and I'm glad that it's no longer the end-all be-all format that my generation was led into believing. I bought CD's for nearly 20 years before switching to vinyl, I think I'm entitled to my opinion. It isn't like I'm hopping on the cassette resurgent bandwagon that I seriously don't understand as that was a format that most were glad to see go. I bought enough cd's over the years that I earned the right to say that I feel like I get my money's worth more via vinyl than buying cd copies. Anyways, considering 99.999999% of modern vinyl releases contain digital codes, I will end up having a digital copy for the ipod anyways. People like you are usually why I end up quitting most forums within a week anyways because all I want to do is talk to likeminded individuals who share similar interests but end up dealing with people who love internet drama and argument for arguments sake. All I wanted to know was if we're getting Coldplay's new album on vinyl... which makes sense because everything they've released until now barring their live albums have been given a vinyl issue, and usually vinyl preorders for big artists usually are announced alongside the cd/digital preorders. Considering Ghost Stories was announced a month ago and it still isn't concrete if we're getting a US vinyl release of it, I think I asked a valid question. and seriously... you're calling me a hipster because I prefer vinyl? This is Coldplay. Hipsters hate that "pop crap" lol. The fact that people know who Coldplay are already makes them Hipster Kryptonite... so yea, thanks for the assumption Should I just start stealing music from the internet again? That's what I was doing before I made the switch to vinyl because vinyl made me excited about buying and owning music again after being so jaded with the uselessness of CD's especially once mp3's came along.

To be honest, that picture was the first thing I though of when I ready your post, not because I assume its true, but because it makes me laugh and probably will give others a chuckle. I'm sure the a ton of others who participate in this hobby get the "hipster" label put on them whether they like it or not. That was meant in good fun, I apologize if it pushed the wrong buttons. On another note, I am VERY excited for this release and I'm sure we will here details for a vinyl release soon. These guys are one of my favorite bands. I played "Yellow" at my wedding.

pushbacktosquare Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 So I just picked up the 7" that was originally scheduled to come out on Record Store Day, but got delayed. I've got to admit, I'm a little disappointed with this 7". Originally, this was promoted to have 2 tracks (Midnight / Magic). It only has one track, that being Midnight. Also, the original mock up of the 7" had a screen printed etching on the b side. Turns out it's just an etching and sadly, doesn't really pop out like the mock up does. Upside is that the 7" is cut at 45 RPM. & the song rules. billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyfoz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 It's not too bad, think Magic is one of the weaker songs on it actually. Just basically sounds like Coldplay making a pop album in 2014, ie lots of synth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Pretty great album, surprised. I'll probably pick it up at Target one day hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfilmaholic Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm loving it, definitely gonna pick up the LP when it comes out. This has to be the best thing they've done since "X&Y", IMO. I had a hard time getting into the last 2 records, but this one is just solid right out of the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Viva is definitely the weakest out of the discography. Mylo was a comeback album for me and this one is my favorite since X&Y. Love the minimalist approach to the songs. Favorite track so far is "True Love" taylo234 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, mine came this morning. 180g, gatefold sleeve, printed inner. Nothing too elaborate. Haven't spun yet, so I can't speak to the sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylo234 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Mine came as well, but also haven't spun it. After hearing the bonus tracks, I sure wish they were on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 I bought the Target deluxe CD today and ordered the vinyl this morning. This might be my 2nd favorite CP album behind AROBTTH, Im on my fourth listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
