Coldplay's 'Mylo Xyloto': A Hallmark of Feel-Good Pop Rock http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/10/coldplays-mylo-xyloto-a-hallmark-of-feel-good-pop-rock/247120/ The band's fifth full-length packs a few surprises, though, of course, it's still a Coldplay record The Hallmark Card was invented in 1923 by Joyce C. Hall, but it has reached its apogee in the hands of the band Coldplay, which has, since its first album in 2000, conducted a massive international helicopter drop of Feel Better cards on music listeners of the world. You will recognize the familiar components a Sonic Hallmark. Here is the first page, the acknowledgement of hardship. You've…

Coldplay: Mylo Xyloto (Popmatters - 4/10) You know that you’ve fully engrained yourself into the very fabric of modern pop culture when you find yourself getting sued. A lot. In the story mentioned at the top of this review, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin says that he was warned: as soon as he had a chart-topping single, the litigation would come, and, ‘lo and behold, following the group scoring a trans-Atlantic Number One with what is arguably their best song to this point, “Viva la Vida”, out comes rock guitarist Joe Satriani claiming that the band deliberately lifted a melody from his lesser-known track “If I Could Fly”. This suit raised a lot of eyebrows. Aft…

Sorry if this has already been posted by another user, but I've yet to figure out how to get my digital copy. Anyone figure this out yet?

Warm, permeable and um, danceable Though its title may suggest an inflated superiority complex and its creation a lesson in analytical musical intellectualism, Coldplay’s fifth album is curiously a warm, permeable and, um, danceable hit. Brian Eno is back on board as producer, but any gravitas he may bring to the table is masterfully offset by the appearance of farmer-goading hip-hop starlet Rihanna - such is the flippancy Coldplay can afford to play with as stadium lords. They have advanced their experiments in electronic music and shiny sonic wizardry (or “Enoxification”, they humbly credit), but it hasn’t diminished their knack for crafting those affecting anthem…

I'm still a little confused on the whole release date thing. Mylo Xyloto is now available in the US iTunes store. So does that mean it is going to be available in stores today (monday, the 24th) as well? What happened to the October 25th date? Has anyone gone to a store in the U.S. and bought MX, the CD, today?

So today I was in a taxi and I called up two music stores to see if they had Mylo Xyloto yet. When I said it they both thought I said Miley Cyrus. Then I said "No! MYLO XYLOTO, M Y L O X Y L O T O." too which they were like WTF is that? I finally got though and the second store told me they are getting it at 6 pm. (Singapore). But wait, thats not all. As I was getting out the taxi the taxi driver says, "Please, tell me, what is this Mylzo toto?" Me, "new Coldplay album" Driver, "ahhh music CD lah?" They all seemed incredibly bewildered by my strange language. Anyway, anyone got any funny stories about Mylo Xyloto? Also, any other Coldplayers in Singapore getti…

http://3upmoon.blogspot.com/2011/10/mylo-xyloto-coldplays-finest-critics.html Well I'm not sure if you'd even call it a review, but there it is. Feel free to provide me with some critiquing, as it'd be much appreciated. I'm new to the blogging scene, but I couldn't read all these negative reviews and not say anything. If nothing else, it's someone saying something nice about the album. I tried to put some thought into it: Mylo Xyloto: Coldplay's Finest, Critics' Worst It is a testament to the cynicism of the music scene that Coldplay has become one of the most hated bands of the decade. Not by the lowly fans of course—what do they know about “real” music anywa…

As much as I want to listen to the leak im gonna wait until release day - October 21st for me. Anyone else not listening to the leak......

Chris has repeatedly said in many different interviews that this is a concept album with a loose story. Now that we've all heard the album, what do you think the story is???? I'm horrible at finding stories within albums, so I'm just wondering what everybody else came up with...

Coldplay Continue to Grow, Impress with "Mylo Xyloto" (Examiner - album Review) Coldplay released their fifth full-length album, Mylo Xyloto, today. Billed by front man Chris Martin as being “…about love, addiction, OCD, escape and working for someone you don't like”, the 14-track record builds on the experimentation visited on 2008’s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, while also re-visiting the band's early career as well. After the ethereal intro Mylo Xyloto, Hurts Like Heaven starts things off in an upbeat manner, with robotic, computerized effects aiding Martin’s voice as he sings about issues like getting the feeling that you’re missing the mark and per…

Happy MX day Ukians, unfortunately I'm nowhere near a music shop and will have to wait until next week :( Please share any other goodies that are being sold in the UK stores :D

Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto: The boys next door are safe as houses (Metro review: 3/5) Album review: Self-professed concept album Mylo Xyloto reunites Coldplay with producer-boffin Brian Eno but, while a singalong triumph for fans, it's not a new direction for Chris Martin and his men. Pop-rock music isn’t just about guitar heroes, it’s really fuelled by everyman appeal, which is why Coldplay’s Chris Martin is its 21st-century figurehead: a nice bloke-next-door, living the stadium-sized dream. Eleven years and millions of sales have stacked up since Coldplay’s debut, Parachutes, and they’ve grown glossier and more assured with every instalment. Self-professed conce…

A beautiful day for Coldplay (Boston Herald: B+) COLDPLAY “Mylo Xyloto” (Parlophone) Grade: B+ Coldplay cribbed its early sound from a single Radiohead song, “Fake Plastic Trees.” But Chris Martin has become too happy a chap to sell the angst of “Fake Plastic Trees.” On album five, Martin and mates finish the transition from wannabe Radiohead to today’s U2, using “Beautiful Day” as their new template. Not every song on “Mylo Xyloto” sounds like U2’s sappy single, but every few minutes something “Beautiful Day”-ish bleeds through: the string and keyboard crescendo in “Paradise,” the guitar arpeggio opening “Us Against the World” or the boundless positivity of…

Aren't you excited that it comes out today!?!?!!?

:):dozey::smug::D Don't ask how, but I got MX today. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!11!!!!!!1!!

Ladies and Gentlemen! This is the night we have been waiting(dreaming too!) for! What are you all going to do once you hit the download button or buy the cd of MX. Ima be picturing neon lights going off in my head exploding. IDK about you but thats me :D

Hey guys, I JUSt got MX on iTunes. I wanted a hard copy, but if you have every teardrop and paradise, then the album is only about $7, so i decided to get the mp3 ;) I MIGHT get the Hardcopy, maybe not tomorrow, but in the future. So yea, I just wanted to say I got it, at about 8:40, on the 23rd. :P Are you getting it on hard copy or mp3?

Before you guys all comment with " LOL U STUPID IDIOT U NOT LIKE COLDPLAY, LEAVE DA FORUMS NAO!" I'm going to say I do like Mylo Xyloto. I've listened to many songs from it several times, but I think it could have been better. Coldplay should have been a classic rock band. Back when I heard my first Coldplay song, yellow, I thought they were a classic rock band. They would have made more original stuff instead of copying Radiohead and U2 so much. (but they would still copy The Beatles). How awesome does this sound "Coldplay FT. The Beatles" or "The Beatles FT. Coldplay." They wouldn't have the annoying vocal effects and the midi instruments. Radiohead fans…

I just downloaded Mylo Xyloto from iTunes, and I have a question; is the silver MX cover the only cover that comes attached? Does iTunes not have the colorful cover. and if so, who has a high-quality picture of it to use instead?

so, on the 24th, tuesday, the album gets released worldwide and in the U.S. The highest quality leak we've had is the 98-100mb one, with many leaks including the 3 bonus glastonbury live tracks, which appear to make the leak look like its greater than 100mb's but its obviously as a result not of audio quality, but because of those 3 live tracks. my question is, on tuesday, will we see another leak, of a higher quality? Even with the 98-100mb leak people were complaining about the audio quality. usually this is not the case with 320/v0 leaks that im aware of, sure they usually dont sound perfect, but usually issues arent as pronounced and galaring as people have been…

I really want to get the hard copy... but Im also reallllyy impatient ive been waiting too long. What is everyone else doing?
