Maybe they are doing this to take the spotlight off Chris' booty check-flashing "proper" wife?

Nice of them, too bad it's not a band I like. I just can't get over the fact that the lead singer looks like the typical short skinny guy in a bar who is a jerk, starts trouble then runs out just as trouble starts.

Can't stand them! I hate those arrogant English musicians who think they are just soo cool and above everyone else. They make me sick!! Artsy, fartsy, earthy, pseudo-intellectuals who eat the right things and are so elitist. I hope nobody buys their stupid album and they shut the fuck up.

The album comes out on the 17th, not the 12th. And it's called "Violet Hill". Get your facts straight.

I just hope this song/these songs do not sound like everything else they have made since they began torturing our radios so many years ago–

CAN'T WAIT! It is Violet Hill and I think they've brought the release date forward from the 17th to the 12th so that it is released at the same time globally.

And they aren't remotely arrogant or 'above anyone else'… in fact Will, Guy and Jonny are really, really shy and very sweet. Chris is just goofy! Oh, and Cambel - Chris is tall, not short - over 6 foot!

Love them and can't wait for the new music!

I dont care if Coldplay has decided to give their music away for free, they could offer me a $1000 to buy it, and I'd still turn it down.
who wants to hear them? says – reply to this

36

37

taking yet ANOTHER cue from Radiohead lol. God, does anyone really still give a shit about this band?
Duke Steele says – reply to this

I read not too long ago, that Chris Martin said the group was disbanding. And he made reference to the fans not liking them or the direction it was going. Anyway, I think if it was anything it was him singing like a girl.
daf says – reply to this

I think is great they are giving free their music, it looks like they are working for fun, they are making music for art, no for money, that's something to admire!!, They are really doing everyone's dream, do what you love and besides get millions and millions for payment, I wish I would have their luck, jajajaja.
