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.

Viva don't deserve a 3/5 :dozey:

I think that's what I'd have given it, had I been them. You can read that review here, if you're interested.

Looks like a pretty old, pre-Paradise review. Nothing new. But thanks anyway.

Thatas well unfair i'd give it a 6 and in haven't even heard it!!!

...which is why you aren't a professional critic. ;)

^ Ahaha and its probably for the best!!!

...X&Y got 4/5 and Viva 3/5...

 

Sorry, but I can't take these guys seriously. :lol:

^ Exactly!!!

^ Exactly!!!

 

Ironic that this comes from the person who gave an album a 6 out of 5 without even listening to it yet :rolleyes:

Sorry, but I can't take these guys seriously. :lol:

 

They reviewed it for it was, a good pop record. Incidentally, it was the same critic.

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:

They reviewed it for it wasn't, a good pop record. Incidentally, it was the same critic.

 

Fixed. :smug:

How can they review an album without hearing all of it?

^ This? :thinking:

Fixed. :smug:

 

Nah, it's my least favorite album, but it gets a lot of undeserved hate.

:nod:

viva was the best, so far. mx may be even better

Sorry, but I can't take these guys seriously. :lol:

 

I, personally, agree with their reviews. X&Y is terrific.

I am so glad I have this piece of information.

Sorry, but I can't take these guys seriously. :lol:

 

Of course, because X&Y deserves 5​​/5:)

X&Y was garbage.

X&Y was not garbage.
