The Final Track Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Mylo Xyloto is reviewed in the newest issue of Uncut. Solid fifth calms EMI shareholders Mylo Xyloto may arrive scrawled in the spray-painted language of the streets, but scratch off the graffiti and Coldplay remain as hip as ever. Described by Chris Martin as "a love story set in an oppressive urban environment", there's no shortage of decent tunes: on the likes of "Charlie Brown" and "Hurts Like Heaven". Jonny Buckland sews those naggingly familiar riffs on to Eno-plumped cushions of sound. Deadline challanges mean Uncut is unable to hear a final full version, but it's safe to say that "Paradise", with it's gooey sentiment and Flake ad strings, won't convert the haters. -Piers Martin They gave it 3/5, so that's a good review. By comparison, X%Y got 4/5 and Viva 3/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Track Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I think that's what I'd have given it, had I been them. You can read that review here, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryptophan Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Looks like a pretty old, pre-Paradise review. Nothing new. But thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I don't think it's very critically responsible to review an unfinished product. It's like if I said uncooked meat tasted bad. No shit! :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
