Over the past few weeks I've grown to be increasingly pessimistic about Mylo Xyloto. When we all heard the new tracks live at the summer festivals, everything sounded so fresh, almost perfect.

 

Then ETIAW, the studio version of Major Minus, throwing out MTM, the Rihanna duet news...and these new interviews of an indifferent Chris, Will feeling nervous (!), and the creation of an album that apparently had so many inconclusive phases (an acoustic record, then a film, then a rock symphony, then what?).

 

The lyrics to the disgraceful Paradise, the mediocre Up in Flames, and UATW, all feeling like the lovey-dovey story just like X&Y (not helping). I was listening to the recording of the band in Toronto today and the only thing that felt good anymore from LP5 was Charlie Brown. I remember going on the forums during the VLV era wanting to listen to every new snippet of Prospekt's March with excitement. Feels like all of that is gone now. :\

 

Ugh. Maybe I'm just overworrying. But the final result better sound good.

 

What about you all?

I'm not feeling like that at all, actually i'm quite excited to hear the studio version of UATW and the rest of the songs that we haven't heard yet, i may be a little too optimistic but i think they're going to pull off that Rihanna duet and i still think it's going to be a great album :)

I trust Chris, when he says that Rihanna really does sound great on the song. I'm most looking forward to hearing the album as a whole, it really is getting a bit stale, all the new songs already being played now for the past few months at their festival shows.

I wish Coldplay would change their setlists more instead of playing the same songs over and over. Play some B-sides and other rarities.

^ YESS. It's getting boring.

 

And ya, I kinda agree.. I mean I like most of the new songs, minus the singles.. But I'm just not really excited or unexcited for MX. I'm just kinda neutral.

Sorry, I'm just trying to keep a sense of humour for myself. :embarrassed:

Now that I do agree with. Watching the same setlist over and over again for the last few months has been really boring. I don't know how the boys can do that.

It doesn't seem like Coldplay is getting sick of playing the same songs over and over again. At least they don't show it anyways and that's all that matters and that's part of what makes them so great.

 

If you think about it, the majority of people paying to see them are only going to one show. They deserve to hear the top songs, which ultimately means the same songs.

I agree :)

House, you need vicodin hahaha

dont be depressed about mX era theres a whole lot of things in life to be depressed about, just wait for the album.. then reflect on it then

It's unfortunately quite ironic that you feel depressed, cause these songs are probably the most uplifting they've ever done!

This^^

I feel so overexcited to hear the album entirely. The new tunes sound perfect for me. I desperately want to hear it from beginning to end and I know it will be a masterpiece.

 

Where Will said he is nervous?

I still don't know. There's moments where I think this will be a masterpiece and there's moments where I think it won't. At all.

So, sometimes it does feel depressing, yes.

Don't worry, everything will be alright. The album will be perfect.

I'm exactly the same.

No this doesnt depress me at all.The only thing that depressed me is this wonderfull lyric

 

"para-para-paradise-para-para-paradise-para-para-paranoid"

maybe is the fans who are depressed, and not the band Coldplay

 

this men happiest and the most popular and not need to make competition in the world of showbiz or the be recognized of the others bands .

My album expectations are a little changed yes, And I now this album wouldn't be a new viva or a new rush of blood to the head. But really bad could it never be.

every day i feel different about it. I've found it i listen to the unreleased songs (CB, HLH, POC, UATW, UIF) i feel quite excited yet when i think about ETIAW and Paradise, i feel really worried.

 

one thing is sure, i was definitely more excited before Paradise was released

No, there are others, but definitely not me. I am enjoying every bit of this. I know there will be some stuff I love, some I won't and some in between, but I expect that. I rarely enjoy everything.

 

I've moved on from bands I once liked but don't anymore. The thing that I don't get is why people who are not enjoying anything Coldplay do anymore are still around banging on about them. There's lots of other music out there, why waste precious time on something you don't like? Life's too short, move on and let it go.

go shoot some heroin, because this excitment is pretty much amazing, it's just watered down by all the haters.

House, you need vicodin hahaha

 

:lol:

I'm excited for the album. They know what they're doing. If some people here feel they can make a better album than any of the ones they've made (in the past, and this new one) then by all means step up to the plate or STFU.
