If you haven’t realized by now, Coldplay’s colorful new album cover contains a marketing gimmick secret code! A global promo campaign will likely reveal clues in the coming weeks.
Initially I thought it was some Arecibo message, Sagan stizz … but maybe it’s just baby Apple’s favorite color combination. Please hazard a guess in the comments. The cleverest answer will win the admiration of your fellow blog readers.

Don’t know, don’t care — its just a CD cover not some holy grail
Coldplay have there heads well up their middle class ass. I hope the tour plane crashes.
It’s OK,I may buy the CD to crack the code…AND to those who say bad about this cd cover…FUCK U BASTARDS AND BITCHES!!!!!
Coldplay is a band which, despite being mainstream, retains freedom of creativity and what they put on their covers is a message of that. Any assumtions made by you on this message board about the band, Chris Martin’s relation with his wife, or their philosophy are made purely from jealosy or the need to beat on someone to release your anger. I respect the fact that you might not like the music they play, or the vibes they or their CDs send out, but really people: use you time celebrating the bands you like, not dissing the ones you don’t. It’s people like you who make the music world the hell full of greed and pride that it is.

to all you people who have something against coldplay you are entitled to your opinion… and so am i, you are all talentless losers who think you have to right to know anything about music let alone political causes, neither of which you know shit to a tree, i like there music, i dont think radiohead is the band of gods, in fact the main singer who ever he is sounds like he has his balls in a clamp all the time so there, but i still like some of their stuff, its music stop acting like you know anything and respect the fact that they have lives
and this idea that you can say what music is and not is retarded wtf do you know, when you can play piano like chopin, guitar like hendrix, and sing like pavoratti then you can have an opinion, if not dont talk about shit you dont know
To begin TOTALLY DISCOUNTING what “Julian” said:
“you are all talentless losers who think you have to right to know anything about music let alone political causes”
This was said by this *ahem* bastard, Julian. First off, everyone has a right to know things. There is no such thing as “knowing” about political “causes” (as he called them)in the sense that he’s using it. What I think he means (though this is a rough translation from bitch-speak) is: you don’t have a right to believe what you do believe, because you do not know enough background about the things that you are speaking of to make that judgement. Hmmm… Maybe it sounds a bit too complicated for the poor little bastard to understand. Also, I never said what music is/is not. I merely said my opinion on the world of mainstream music in general, and how it is affected by lust for money, fame, and judging other people’s musical styles as wrong. In the words of the lead singer for Radiohead (who he mentioned):
“The companies are all poisoned and f*cked up — if they go down, then bye-bye…”
Dumbasses it clearly says “X & y Coldplay and in the back it says the end you retards, COLDPLAY ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And whoever says there crap i hope they die in a horrible car accident Basterds. DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Dont forget coldplay rocks the cocks lol hahehe).
The album cover is generated using the code chart inside the album booklet.
On the front it says “X&Y”.
To generate your own, go to:

god you lot are thick arent you, its the dna codes for x&y did you learn anything at school???
as you probably know by now, it’s the baudot code, or binary code.
However you may be thinkin why is there colours in it???
Well the idea was so they could incorporate the =Make Trade Fair= green equals symbol without it looking very obvious. you see it???
Eric Castello we may rock but please dont say we rock your cock you fuckin queer, you give us a bad name, wanker.
Last line? So now that your done trashing what you should never have wasted your time listeing to, why don’t you listen to it again?

omg.no 1 knows wot this is. X and Y get a hint,males has the chromosomes X Y and females have X X,therefore it just means boy and girl,and the picture is just the DNA thingy for it.If you did biology you would understnad but it is pretty simple
It’s the various shades of colour Coldplay’s detractors go through before settling on green when said arbiters of taste realise that Coldplay’s sold more records than they ever would or could.
It actually says X9Y they got the code a little wrong
it actually say x 96 u dum shits but it was suppost to say x and y
Coldplay is good. If you dont like it, just don’t listen it and be happy! (I’m tired of lack of respect)
It looks like the tattoo on Chris Martin’s hand, and the colours of black and grey against the one white, signify life’s difficult choices against good and evil, and the colours represent the countries, cultures, art, life in general. hmmm…..yeah thats it. ~~~:)
I think its suppose to signifie the unquenchable thirst of the modern economy having an effect on the flowers in my garden. And possibly your garden.
The thick smog of consumerist greed impinging on my carfully crafted crysanthumums.
