Coldplay’s latest album will be a “love story in a big, dark, scary city.” So, part dream and part nightmare? “So you have a boy and a girl and a group of like-minded people in a sort of George Orwell-type or Kafkaesque world. But it’s hopeful, because it’s about people trying to transcend troubles,” said Chris Martin, regarding Coldplay’s soon-to-be-released album “Mylo Xyloto.” Martin probably hopes it also transcends the pop charts — each of the band’s four albums have sold more than 2 million copies in the U.S., though that number’s been on the decline the past couple of years, matching the music industry at large. Will the fifth buck the trend? source
godinezzz answered: Meh. Here’s an album to describe the times: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. featuring: “Ashes of American Flags” and ‘War on War”
» SFB says: Funny you mention that album, because, prior to WIlco’s label troubles, the original release date for the album was September 11, 2001. Making it an honorary member of the list.
