poeincompany Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think that the album title is unique... it obviously serves some sort of purpose in the music... and we'll find out what sooner or later. To be brutally honest I don't really see many people's big issue with it, it's not something bland, it's not something too long, it's short, catchy, and looks cool to write and say. Soooooo... what's the problem exactly? And don't give the "OH IT'S JUST RUBBISH" response. Oh and one more thing. I know this thread is only about the album's title but... seriously. Who cares? The album title could be "Chris Martin Shits A Brick" and if it had amazing music on it, I would love it. Judging an album title is pointless because an album is a lot like a book. You don't read a book for it's title... you read it cause it's a good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin&Bones Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 ^I have no problem with the title at all. It's interesting and quirky, kind of like Chris Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Surely I am not alone? I know there are countless numbers of you out there who think it's genius or something, but is there anyone out there who thinks it's stupid? I do. I \/oted 0, crap, and I adore Coldplay. Sorry, just can't wrap my head around Mylo Xyloto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattatouille Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE IT WITH ALL THE PHONICS. THIS IS BAD NEWS FOR EVERYONE. I can't really pronounce a lot of things right, I get confused because I can never be bothered with the effort of learning the right way of saying things. So this album title doesn't bode well for me. Hey, I may like the music... Except ETIAW cuz it sucks balls... But the album title isn't for me. I preferred stuff like, oh, I don't know... Parachutes? It wasn't pretentious at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Old Painter Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Not sure if something's mentioned this. CBF reading through 18 pages. The thing I hate is that whilst it's officially titled Mylo Xyloto, it's spelled Myl Oxyl Oto on the artwork. That pisses me off. It's a much better title than Viva la Vida or Death and all his Friends, I'll give it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hatter Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 ^Yeah, I for sure thought it was actually MYLOXYLOTO and for the life of me couldn't figure out how the hell that would actually sound. But that's because I didn't know anything about "Mylo Xyloto" because I am in the Lounge all the time and nowhere else, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin&Bones Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Too bad Chris isn't the only one in the band. ^ He initiates the song-writing process, which is influenced by a theme that he usually institutes. The themes and songs are put up to a vote by the rest of the production team and then those ideas are filtered through each contributing band member and producer... I thought it was understood by most Coldplay fans that they operate in a democratic-like process. Anyway, it doesn't matter what I think or what you think. It's a thread of venting our excitement, our apprehension, our distaste etc. Whether you like it or not, I don't think there's going to be much convincing on either faction's part. It's like beating a dead horse. Music and other entertainment is a very subjective thing, I hope that concept is well established by evidence of this thread. If you don't like it, very good for you. I applaud your rugged individualism. However, I don't think you have the ground to trump over anyone else's opinion on such a personal subject (whether I find the traits of the title and the singer to be similar doesn't mean I turn a blind eye to the fact that there are three other members, but thanks for your flippant remark). Yes, I do believe it is quirky and creative. Though the title might not mean a thing, I'm open-minded to the band's decision to choose that title. It means something to them, therefore it must be a parallel medium of expression that matches the ambience and flavor that is carried out through the rest of the album.

WS Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I dont like it,it just...Mylo Xyloto? What do you smoke,man?? It sound for me like the default names of the chats :/ For me is a plain title,and doesnt say nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I like it, I like the sound of it. But it does need to have an actual meaning. Guess we'll have to wait for that until October 24th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat1229 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 In the very first day of stats class you would learn that this these ratings are likely skewed due to bias of the voters because of the Thread Title Ill give it a 7, X & Y is their best title, and overall an under-rated album.

Reilly Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I really don't care what is called ,Im going to enjoy every moment of the anticipation for its release, get giddy over a leak, buy the album, love it, go to the shows, know every line, cry to i the beautiful lyrics and hope Jonny and Will sing more, does it really matter what its called? all that matters is the music What's annoying is that you would love it even if it's totally shit. You would tell yourself its great, you would tell yourself the lyrics are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotrobsessed101 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 My honest opinion, Mylo Xyloto as the title is fine with me as long as it ends up some having some meaning behind it. I really want the band to explain what it means, which I'm sure they will in time. Right now it's just some made-up word. That being said, I do like that the title is short, that it rhymes, and I appreciate it's uniqueness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
