i mean if she's a coldplayer she MUST remember right? i would.. it's only an opinion

Thank you so much for your review! :nice: It's nice to read something by someone not working for a major publication who may or may not have to say certain things about it.

 

And can everyone just be grateful for five minutes? Just because there's nothing "unexpected" in the review doesn't automatically mean it's a fraud either. The things that have been said about unknown songs so far have been said for a reason. I think everyone's perfectly aware that everything on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt, yet her website, interests, and location all point to the fact that she's not playing us. Let's just not be rude to someone who's being very nice to us by sharing.

This quote from her review here seems to indicate that MM is the same as the one released on the EP.

 

"On the album, “Major Minus” is considerably more glossy than it is live, with Martin’s vocals calling out from behind a gauzy layer"

^This.

 

Also, remember she didn't write the review just for hardcore Coldplay fans like us. The typical music blog reader would have little to no knowledge of the new songs that haven't been released that we're already really familiar with (like Major Minus and UATW). Hell, I'd bet not many Coldplay fans know about them... not all fans are as involved as people on this forum.

Thanks for a well written review.

However I have to say that I already knew everything you said even though I was not at the listening party.

I'll give you the benefice of the doubt even though as a hardcore fan I'd expect you to remember the difference between UFO and AHT. I know I would and many people here would remember that too. Also most of your blog entry is focused on songs that we've already heard and your review say very little (and only things discussed on this forum) about the unheard songs.

Now only time will tell if this is BS or a genuine gesture from you.

:drunk::drunk::drunk::drunkjoe::drunkjoe: :drunkjoe:

Just like i said before "Rihanna's voice will sound totally diffrent.Because of the production"

 

Nice review.

 

BTW: How did the song 'U.F.O" sounded?

I really don't want to come across as being ungrateful or rude, and you're obviously a great writer—but I'm leaning more towards this being fake now based solely on the fact that Mylo Xyloto is a full track with lyrics and this is confirmed. Since you remembered enough about it to talk about it in your review, you would notably have mentioned how it is different to the 40 second prelude we have been enlightened with this summer, however, you go on to say how it is the same as we have been given, which, as we know, it isn't. At all. Again forgive me if you feel like I'm out of line. I just want to sit on the fence. Also, if it turns out I am wrong and you are right, I will donate an old pair of shoes to charity. I feel this is a fair trade. :P

Yeah and the oracle said MX would be a full track and the reviewer just says UWTB is an slow track without saying details.

 

And not telling something about UFO and AHTM is also strange :thinking:

Great review. Why anybody would lie about being at the listening party is beyond me, I believe her. I don't understand why people don't just WAIT for the album rather than speculate so much. It's only (just over) a month away!

Thanks for the review, even though I must admit I skimmed through it. Did not dare dwell on the detail :) Summary sounds really good though! :) 24 October come fast!

Great review! Thanks ;)

Hi people,

 

Here's the review I promised.

 

http://www.austingirlmusicguide.com/2011/09/19/special-edition-review-coldplays-upcoming-mylo-xyloto/

 

I hope it answers most of the questions you have. Since I'm posting this for my website, I reviewed all the songs, not just the ones you all haven't heard. I took my notes on Friday night, not during the party as we weren't allowed to take anything in. As for instrumentals, there are at least 2, possibly 3, and they are very short.

 

Another note: Paradise and ETIAW are not completely representative of the album. I mean, think about it: you've heard more than half the album already right?

 

Anyway, enjoy. If anyone has any legit questions for me, you're welcome to comment on my site or PM me.

 

V :)

 

I hated your review, sorry, it lowered my excitement level for the album from a 6 to a 2 :\

So there are alot of up-tempo songs.That makes me lower my expectations.

Because i know that albums with an overload of up-tempo tracks will get boring real soon.

Up-tempo is a word that always reminds me of shitty kitschy Eurovision songs. That's not good. I appreciate the review, but it didn't particularly alter my expectations and it lowered my hopes a bit.

 

Also, please give her the benefit of the doubt. She wrote more about Parapara and ETIAW because she'd had the chance to listen to these songs a lot more times than the other ones. She's only heard the new songs we don't know about only once. Are you expecting a detailed review about that?

I hated your review, sorry, it lowered my excitement level for the album from a 6 to a 2 :\

 

Is there no possibility that this guy gets banned from here ?! i´m so pissed of his comments !!!!

 

Btw, iam so glad to read such positive things about PoC.... :)

kentucky chicken, we've all known your opinion about everything new from cp, basically millions and millions times.. i've had enough, as the most of the guys here i assume.. constructive critics are welcome and right, let's put an end to that, stop complaining..

Maybe Coldplay are going to give it the Life In Technicolor treatment? :shrug:

 

M.M.I.X full version of MX?

M.M.I.X full version of MX?

 

No, MMIX is, according to Venus, a short instrumental track.

Yeah and the oracle said MX would be a full track and the reviewer just says UWTB is an slow track without saying details.

Yes i agree,seems kind of strange too me too. We just need some kind of proof for this is no fake review:thinking:

The things she told about the songs are nothing new, its just what we all expected the songs to be...

 

And in fact:

 

-nothing mentioned about the unknown songs like U.F.O....very,very strange...but you cant say something about these songs if you havent heard them ;) Sorry for being unfair,but if you put the puzzle together its definetely a fake review...
