Edit: Obviously, something is strange with this lyrics. Hey guys, I just found the official lyrics of all songs from MX, at least I think they are. Got them from a FLAC-Rip of the Japanese Edition, which included HQ-Scans of all booklets. I guess, there still aren't released the "official" lyrics, so - have fun :cool: P.S.: I know, the edges are a bit cutten off...but I'm not guilty :elephant: Also, if this already has been uploaded, don't be too mean with me :cool:

As they have said this many times with previous efforts, Coldplay are saying that Mylo Xyloto may be their last record. What do you think? EDIT: Personally, I doubt this is true. I could see them making one more record to make before they take a little break. I doubt that they will ever break up anytime soon!

Coldplay deliver the right album for the times (Masslive - 4/5) Coldplay, “Mylo Xyloto” (Capitol). 4 stars. Coldplay is selling vast numbers of albums and filling massive arenas at a time when few other artists are, so it seems strange to think of them as a band at the crossroads. Somehow they are though. After more than a decade together, they have scored tremendous sales with their recent albums, including 2008’s “Viva La Vida.” With the success came the questions: Were they the new U2? Could they sustain the success? Would the extraordinary commercial success hurt their credibility? So they have returned with “Mylo Xyloto,” which has an edge that “Viva La …

Album Review: 'Mylo Xyloto' by Coldplay by Brett Warner The perks and problems of any new Coldplay album are never contained to the songs themselves, and on their latest mess--the still-bafflingly titled Mylo Xyloto (out October 24)--the 11 new tunes are the least of Chris Martin & Co.’s worries. At this point in their career, the former London Britpop revivalists have become so entrenched in the mechanized world of Top 40 radio hit-making, they’re beginning to lose grasp of who they are and which one of their numerous strengths they should be playing to. Completely soaked in noisy synthesizers and soulless beats, Mylo Xyloto fires on all the wrong cylinders-- it …

Coldplay: Four Best Friends, Powered By Chemistry by NPR STAFFOctober 22, 2011 In 2002, when the British rock band Coldplay was on tour with its second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, frontman Chris Martin said, "I just want to make the best music of all time with my best friends." Since that time, Coldplay, with Jonny Buckland on guitar, Guy Berryman on bass and Will Champion on drums, has become one of the biggest acts in rock. NPR's Scott Simon spoke with Martin and Champion on the occasion of their fifth album, Mylo Xyloto, due out this week. Martin says that, at the very least, the part about friends is still true. "A band's only unique thing is its che…

On the eve of a fifth album, two writers clash horns over the band Hugh Is it a mosquito? Or a dodgy refrigerator? No, that faint whine you hear is just the just sound of a new Coldplay album hoving into view. In the 11 years since their breakout hit "Yellow", four middle-class young men who met at university have become Britain's biggest and blandest band, achieving more than 40 million album sales and worldwide fame along the way – but the more their stature has changed, the more their music has stayed the same. Niall Biggest doesn't necessarily mean blandest, Hugh. But perhaps you're mistaking over-familiarity with blandness, because Coldplay write the sort…

Just started uploading MYLO XYLOTO to YT in HD. First put is A Hopeful, Don't Let It and Up With the Bds. Cool to hear all three in a row, without any gaps. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhTRjww4wYQ]Coldplay - A Hopeful Transmission / Don't Let It Break Your Heart / Up With The Birds - YouTube[/ame] Let's see if YouTube won't block the vid. By now it is cool, "Your video includes content that is owned or administered by these entities: Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society. 'What should I do?' No action is required on your part.

Obviously this album has a strong graffiti theme, but could there perhaps be a link between Mylo Xyloto and Banksy? On the inside of the CD, the words "Tonight the streets are ours" can be seen. Tonight The Streets Are Ours is a song by Richard Hawley, featured in Banksy's film, Exit Through the Gift Shop. Other than that, both Banksy and MX share a strong anti-oppression theme. Coldplay are famously anti-consumerism - not letting companies use their songs - so it'd be no surprise if they respected Banksy, who stands for the same things. What do we think? Can we see any other para para... parallels? Relation to Paradise? Relation to Major Minus?

Are Coldplay ''as hated as a band can be''? That's what frontman Chris Martin recently told EW. True, a Seattle woman once assaulted a man who wouldn't stop singing their mellow 2000 hit ''Yellow'' at a karaoke bar. (According to the bartender, it took several bystanders to hold her down before she was arrested.) But sold-out stadiums full of glow-stick-waving fans would disagree. So it's strange to hear Martin insist that it's ''us against the world'' on Mylo Xyloto — and even stranger to hear those fighting words couched within the same kind of expansive, soaring guitar-pop that's so adored by the world they're supposedly bucking against. Maybe this is a new strategy…

I think it's time for a new signature here on Coldplaying.com:D And in the booklet of the CD there is this nice picture: You see the band members playing a song, while from the background there come two laser lights. The whole picture is in a blue theme. Has anybody found it on the web already? Otherwise I will scan it and upload it here if anyone interested:)

1. Mylo Xyloto 2. Hurts Like Heaven 3. Charlie Brown 4. Us Against The World 5. MMIX + ETIAW combined 6. Major Minus 7. UFO 8. Moving to Mars 9. AHT + DLIBYH combined 10. Up With The Birds I left off Paradise cause I love the transition of HLH to CB. I left off Princess of China cause its the worst song on the album I left off Up In Flames cause it's a mood killer (though i do like the song) The easiest decision was keeping UWTB the closer. It's the best off the album.

Coldplay, the onetime Radiohead-lite with melancholic melodies that reached to heavens, cheap seats and singles charts, is now the rising hope of album music, if not other (more substantial) things. “Slow it down,” Chris Martin croons, wiping our brow on the affecting acoustic ballad Us Against the World. “Through chaos as it swirls, it’s just us against the world.” More Discs of the Week Disc of the week: Rebooting Canada’s folk songbook Disc of the Week: Bjork bursts the convention of an ‘album’ Disc of t…

Here's a short but sweet review from every businessman's favourite broadsheet. It seems the quality press here in the UK have very much warmed to Coldplay's new album! By Ludovic Hunter-Tilney Mylo Xyloto, EMI Rating **** A concept album of sorts which proves unexpectedly dynamic Where previous Coldplay records have grown ever more insipid, like a cup of tea repeatedly made with the same teabag, Mylo Xyloto proves unexpectedly dynamic. A concept album of sorts, it tells the story of a romance between the titular Mylo and Xyloto, two young lovers who meet in a dystopian city. The plot is thin, but it appears to have stopped Chris Martin and co from lapsing…

Link: http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/drops-coldplay-s-mylo-xyloto-1.3263641 Drops: Coldplay's 'Mylo Xyloto' Coldplay is the Steve Jobs of modern rock. Like the late Apple co-founder, Chris Martin and friends aren't about invention, they're about repackaging and need-creation and need-fulfillment. Also like Jobs, they are incredibly successful at what they do. "Mylo Xyloto" (Capitol) finds Coldplay soaking in current influences and folding them, more or less, into the sound the band has established over its previous four albums. They have an interesting preoccupation with Rihanna-styled R&B, even bringing in RiRi herself on "Princess of China…

Coldplay have broken a pre-order record that was previously held by Adele. The band have become the most pre-ordered act of 2011 with their upcoming album Mylo Xyloto on Amazon UK. The record is the most pre-ordered disc this year so far and knocked Adele's multi-million-selling LP 21 off the top spot. "Despite a gap of three years since their last album, Coldplay are back with a bang," said Paul Firth, head of music buying at Amazon UK. "2011 has been Adele's year, but pre-orders of Mylo Xyloto have pushed Chris Martin's band to the top of Amazon.co.uk's music chart even before release, keeping recent releases from Noel Gallagher and Matt Cardle off the top s…
