Hello Coldplayers,

 

All of us,everyone is looking forward to Mylo Xyloto. The excitement is really huge so far and will grow more and more till the date of release...

 

My question is,what could happen to the new album,the new songs or the upcoming tour what would/could disappoint you ?!

To be honest from what we've heard so far, I don't think I could be disappointed! The only thing that would let me down is if they didn't play a show in Texas, which I'm sure they will! :D ( I'm not including ACL, I mean a show from their proper tour)

I'm very optimistic about this album but, if it turns out to be disappointing, I'd think that is just a less inspired episode and nothing more. I would still love the band :)

The only thing I'm disappointed with so far is the blatant rip-off-ishness of Hurts Like Heaven (ripping off All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem). They really need to tweak the lyrical structure or they'll have another lawsuit on their hands.

I think this is basically the release that will make clear to me if Coldplay are capable of reaching their potential. In my eyes Viva came through on the promise of AROBTTH and Parachutes. My hope is that MX comes through on the promise of Viva. From what we've heard so far, I think it very may well!

James Murphy won't sue, he's too awesome.

Really? I don't hear this...

 

 

...As far as I'm concerned, it won't be a disappointment. Every Coldplay album has tracks on it that I love, including this one, so what's not to enjoy?

 

Oh, and James Murphy probably cba to sue a current band for nicking something off his old band.

The only thing that would let me down is if they didn't play a show in Croatia :)

Autotune and sampling is already a huge turn-off as it is, but I can think of a few things Coldplay could do to further disappoint me on tracks' studio versions - "Us Against the World" with chipmunk voices, "Charlie Brown" having rubber ducky effects, Chris Martin inhaling helium before singing "Princess of China", singing "Paradise" into a repeating parrot and just recording the parrot and putting it on the album, etc. (I should shut up in case the band actually reads this and gets ideas.)

In my opinion, every Coldplay album has progressed in some way. What I mean is, they've mostly been separate pieces of work that you can distinguish between. Aka, Violet Hill must have been from VLV, Speed of Sound is from X&Y, and so forth. From what we've heard so far from this new album, I think this will continue and Mylo Xyloto will form another chapter of Coldplay's discography. One factor that would disappoint me if it didn't happen..

 

Feel free to agree, or disagree :)

(woah, and I like this new wiki thing starting up on the forum)

I truly believe that Princess Of China and Hurts Like Heaven are the only two decent songs I've heard from this era.

Moving to Mars is good but his voice is kind of weird.

 

Edit: Okay I heard Princess of China and it's not so bad it doesn't sound all corny. Hopefully the studio version is better because Chris can't sing live anymore.

I honestly don't think I'll ever be disappointed with any of Coldplay's albums--individual songs, yes, but not entire albums.

 

But if they don't come to Kansas City someone is going to get hurt :mean:

James Murphy won't sue, he's too awesome.

 

Jame Murphy will never hear the song because he doesn't listen to Coldplay. They're too mainstream. :P

 

Anyway, All My Friends >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hurts Like Heaven

Why do you say that? Chris sounds better than ever...

I don't thing a think will disappoint me this time.

from the songs i've already heard, i have loved every single one (apart from MM). I really love their new songs. The only thing that could dissapoint me is if they put ETIAW on the album........releasing a song 3 times?? just not a good idea.

 

anyways, oh and one more thing, if they don't start their tour before March next year :)

Too true :lol:

Clearly haven't heard Charlie Brown then.

I don't think I'll be disappointed, mainly because I'm not expecting any groundbreaking or amazing, just a very solid album.

I think this album its gonna be brilliant, i'm so optimistic about it!

Yeah, not going to lie -- I'm expecting something pretty brilliant. And I am certainly yet to be disappointed by anything new.

The only thing that would let me down is if they didn't play a show in Croatia :)

 

couldn't agree more! :)

 

But yeah would be really sad if they disappoint me, I'm not ready to let them go. I know I'll like the album anyway but I don't want to make myself like it, I want to like it on the first listen.

I think I will like it, I don't think it'll take over my spot as my favourite album tho. They've changed a lot these past few years, but they still have a touch of the Coldplay-ness to it. And from what I've heard so far, they still got it, so hopefully the rest of songs turn out like that. I really can't wait :wacky:

Whiny repetitive rant coming up. If you are super excited about MX, don't read.

 

 

I'm already disappointed. All the songs I've heard so far just don't do it for me, they don't compare to anything pre-X&Y. Except Major Minus live, but even then the studio version has been a disappointment.

 

A lot of titles are also the worst and corniest they have ever been (Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (think about it, and then the song itself lives up to its bad title), Hurts Like Heaven, even Paradise...). Let's hope they don't come up with Don't Let It Break Your Heart... That would break my heart.

 

None of the songs (let's not consider MM live here) live up to anything they did on AROBTTH, for example. I'm listening to Live 2003 now, and it's so brilliant I have the unbearable thought that they will never nail it like that again. I can enjoy listening to HLH, for example, but compare it to any old song and it's just an empty song/tune (Spray can soul... damnit.). I don't get the fuss about Charlie Brown. I seem to be the only one who dislikes it. People, it's just a repeated tune that's brilliant at first but I'm already tired of hearing it. The lyrics and the singing are really dull. Can't believe so many people are being so excited about this and talking about "reaching their full potential here". I'm afraid their full potential was A Rush, with top songs like Politik and Amsterdam, and that level can't be reached anymore. Don't forget the sobrety of the old songs. No needless bells and jingles and all that. The contrast between that and the new ones seems incredibly huge.

 

Then there's the kitschy artwork, the wannabe punk look (they're not punk, let's face it), the circus show they pull off at every festival with all the fireworks, props, confetti, ... It's as if they want to hide something's lacking in the songs. They used to be all songs, no fuss, just playing great songs as a professional alternative band compared to radiohead and R.E.M. Now they're just a pop band making hits, wanting to be up there in the charts next to Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga.

 

 

Wow, can't believe I'm being so negative on this band I love so much. Let's say Mylo Xyloto can only surprise me in a positive way, although I doubt it, and I'm afraid I will be disappointed when it's not good anyway. I appreciate the great effort the boys put into this project no matter what. Fingers crossed.
