ApproximatelyInfinite Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 ^^ I just keep MTM in mind. That gives me hope enough that perhaps there will be some good to come out of it. "Moving To Mars" is actually my least favorite of all the new tracks, I think :P I think if they just called the album "MX," the whole world would be clamoring for an explanation of what it stood for, moreso than we are now for a meaning of the weird words. Somehow, abbreviations with no explanations are more infuriating to me, which is why I kind of liked the Roman numeral explanation :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowlingfox Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Mylo Xyloto is alright, i think it's different, so that's cool. But i like that we can abbreviate it to MX. MX has a certain mystery about it that seems very intriguing. :D As for the artwork, i like the cover on the right much better than the cover on the left.

rainplay Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I really love coldplay but I reeeeeaaaaally hate this title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IloveChris Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It'll sound so weird when they win an award! (which I'm sure they will :P ). "And the award goes to...Coldplay for Mylo X..xy..loto! " Then everyone's like... :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Before the announcement today, I was pronouncing it in my head as "MY-lo zy-LO-toe," but Chris's handwriting seemingly says "My-lo ZY-le-toe." The emphasis on the ZY vs the LO is a British vs. American thing, I think, but "le-toe"? Is that just his handwriting? The IPA doesn't help me out much :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the " ə" in the IPA Chris wrote is pronounced like the "a" in about. That's the simplest way I can explain it, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, that's helpful, thanks! :dance: I'll still probably always mistakenly say "zy-LO-toe," having a big fat American mouth, but yeah, I think this album is going to always be MX to me.

Empily Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Well i'm sure they will in due time, but you can do a google search, or actually look at the threads that talk about the meaning about the title - Mylo is a uk street artist that probably inspired them to look at the history of the street art from xyloto (wood art, the origin or precursor) to current forms of alternative media (blogs, youtube, graffiti, posters, etc.). Xyloto could also refer to cameras - a term made up by Mylo. or Xylo is a compilation of street art. it's about getting out the real messages of what's going on in our world that we don't get from the powers that be - be it our leaders, traditional media, etc. http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/xylo/Interesting http://www.xylo.me/ Also, upon that logic, you could say that this guy influenced the title due to his username [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AeEURGAAGw]"Trouble" by Coldplay - YouTube[/ame] Xylopolist :awesome: /tenuous links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I was hoping it wouldn't be called Mylo Xyloto, but whatever. I hope their new single is good. I think hearing the album in full will help me decide whether the title is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think if you don't love the album title then you aren't a REAL Coldplay fan and should probably go and listen to something stupid like Spice Girls or something lol. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anacaren08 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I just like it cuz I think its fun to say, its kind of weird, and it could start a conversation :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think the same. If you are a real fan, you support everything that they do and you love it from the deep of your heart. You appreciate everything, it doesn't matter if you like it more or less and maybe we can think that it could have been better, but what's better? Are just their decisions. And after all, it's so wonderful the way that they create expectation and the way that we talk about and probably we still talk about this in a few months, even years. By the moment, we can still wondering what the fuck means "Mylo Xyloto". And that's why I love the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destrokk Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Weird thing I was bored and I said "i'm going to listen to my coldplay albums awe nostalgia" and I layed them all on my floor and I thought, fuck it's tomarrow, and now i'm here~ Anyways, I think everything is okay except the font. And it looks like a rap album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
