Very well thought out post, Spaneli. I appreciate that you back your opinions with facts and keep a relatively cool head. I wonder if the success of this album will really help the AA album, though. If he was releasing another HFB type album I think it definitely would and your scenario would be spot on. Since Noel's seemed to essentially warn people off of the AA album in interviews and always goes out of his way to say how different it is from this one, I think he might be driving away the casual fans that heard TDOYAM or WAL and went out and bought HFB. Perhaps the success of HFB will help his third album, but my guess is it'll help the AA one less. It really depend on the first or first couple of singles from the AA album. If he releases two songs which are more conservative than the rest of the songs on the album then HFB could have a very positive effect on the AA album. So just like with any other album it depends on what the singles will be. Which for me will be one of the most interesting set of singles that Noel has ever released. Agreed. I don't know if singles even really make sense for this album since he's described it as one long piece of music rather than the typical 10 songs. Each song on its own will probably suffer when extracted from the album as a whole, just like with the AA stuff I've heard before. Everything on A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble sounds much better in context. That said, it would be quite difficult to promote the album without letting anyone hear it before it's released. That makes it a very interesting release for me.

I still maintain that Coldplay has never really been rock music. Their last couple of albums for sure can be classified as nothing more than pop.

When Coldplay first came up they often said their influences were The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, Radiohead, The Stone Roses, Etc. Nowadays when Chris Martin talks music he says he is into and inspired by Katy Perry, Rihanna, Adele, Kanye West and Lady Gaga. He is playing it safe and hardly ever mentions rock bands anymore. I think he recently got into Bruce Springsteen which is random at this point in his life.

Global Chart #30 22K Global Sales ~750 Great! They're starting to slow up a bit, but hopefully a great performance at the Brits will bring them back up just a bit and get him on track to getting close to a million.
