Can someone who was at that thing give general descriptions of sound and length of songs please?

I'm also interested if there are any reports of the lucky winners who had the chance to listen to Mylo Xyloto:)

I'm pretty sure that they would have had to sign an agreement that prevented them from talking about the album.

^ Yup, of course. We won't hear from them.

Ha, not true. I was at the listening party yesterday and we did not have to sign waivers. :) We're allowed to talk about it.

 

So, yes, I've heard MX. It's a terrific album and I think despite all the negativity going on here, CP fans are going to love it. I don't have time to write a full review right now, but I will and I'll post it Monday.

 

I will say this....it's their best album to date. The hip-hop influences are present, but not distracting, and they add to the freshness of the sound. Rihanna's appearance on POC is handled very delicately. Her voice and Chris' go together shockingly well and it's still obviously a Coldplay song. The album is sequenced extremely well, so that 14 tracks goes by without feeling long at all.

 

As I said, I'll write a full review later (I have a music blog which I'll post it to) and then link it up here. I'm excited to share this info with you guys!

^ME LIKES

Please please, just say a bit about Hurts Like Heaven!

Just like "it's the best song they've ever made" or something like that!

Looking forward to the review. :) This is good news, I think. :)

OH MY GOD, I got so excited just now! Please please DO say something about Hurts Like Heaven! And something about the other songs! Like what you thought about them! Mmm I just noticed that you said you're gonna write a full review later... THANK YOU!

Up with the Birds? Please tell us about the unheard stuff!

ommggg , This makes me 10 times more excited about this

hip-hop influences? :angry:

I really hope he is right, and that ETIAW, Paradise, MMIX and the whole Mylo Xyloto concept really makes good sense! :)

I'm so happy to read this from you! I wasn't worried at all. I knew the album was going to be awesome, I trust the boys but I knew a lot of fans were worried and I'm glad someone who had the chance to listen to the album calm them down. Specially with the whole Rihanna situation.

Best album? :laugh3:

 

Maybe Rihanna's voice soooo overproduced that you almost dont recognize it.

 

But i look forward to this album now even more.

Can't believe that you are making us wait until Monday!!!!

Allow me to guess, you were stripped of any mobile-phones and electronic devices to pretend someone making a recording of it.
