I totally love the previous four Coldplay album covers. But I'm truly dissapointed with Mylo Xyloto's.

Grafitti? Wow, very original :thinking:

It remainds me a lot of U2 Achtung Baby's artwork (they do this on purpouse? 'cuz Achtung Baby celebrates its 20 anniversary in october).

....

 

so how was VLVODAAHF original? not only did they take a painting and slap on the words 'viva la vida' (how original is that?) but another band already used that painting too

re: MX album art

 

don't love it or hate it; more interested in what lies tucked away in the album sleeve

It's my favorite Coldplay album cover, even if the name is blah. Viva was just recycled artwork, X&Y was just colored blocks, A Rush of Blood to the Head was interesting but not particularly enjoyable and Parachutes is plain.

 

Album Cover rank:

Mylo Xyloto

A Rush of Blood to the Head

Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends

Parachutes

X&Y

 

Album Name Rank:

A Rush of Blood to the Head

Parachutes

Mylo Xyloto

Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (would have been 2nd had they picked one or the other)

X&Y

 

Album Music Rank:

Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends

A Rush of Blood to the Head

Parachutes

X&Y

 

Won't rank Mylo Xyloto until I listen to the album all the way through. Case in point being AROBTTH has more highlights than Viva but I think Viva is the better album.

At least it was surprising, and has a boob on it.

 

I think MX cover also lacks the "mystery" of X&Y and AROBTTH covers.

 

the best rebuttal i've heard on this forum, LOL. can't argue with boobs

 

iunno, imo, they set the bar high when the used AROBTTH and X&Y covers; 2 very good ones imo

It's colorful, meaningful, creative, how could you not like it? It fits Coldplay's typical approach of, make the smallest and simplest of things deep. Sure, it's just their lyrics on graffiti, but, does it not work? I like it a lot.
