October 10, 201114 yr Damn. This review is the first excellent review of Mylo Xyloto. My hopes have been risen, especially with Us Against The World, UFO, Up In Flames and Up With The Birds. MX is turning out to possibly be one of Coldplay's best. EDIT: LOL. I just realized I listed all the song titles with 'U'. I think those are my favorite. :P
October 10, 201114 yr And he indirectly says that ETIAW is the best track in the album then it's a terrible album. I'm pretty sure that even if they screw up the album version of Charlie Brown, it'd still be better than ETIAW
October 10, 201114 yr no need for that sort of comments....there are kids in this forum I am aware of this and as such decided to stick with scientifically positive language to describe my happiness. If there are children reading they will either giggle at the word 'penis' or will be too young to put together and understand the words 'penis' and 'erect' in the same sentence and as such will more than likely divert back to former. I just thought this needed to be said again. Thanks, together we can fight erectile dysfunction.

October 10, 201114 yr Thanks, together we can fight erectile dysfunction. Do you think listening to MX could induce erectile dysfuncion?
October 10, 201114 yr Do you think listening to MX could induce erectile dysfuncion? Listening to MX would be a CURE for ED. *cue Nature to come in and call us all immature*
October 10, 201114 yr Listening to MX would be a CURE for ED. *cue Nature to come in and call us all immature* Which would not be appropriate since ED is mainly a problem to the more mature population.
October 10, 201114 yr Does he balls say ETIAW is the best song on the album...even indirectly. And who gives whether he does believe that. Plenty of people adore that song and it certainly isn't hated. A song like Fix You has brought on more hate to Coldplay than ETIAW will ever. Now I'm not saying I like ETIAW better than Fix You but Fix You really did make Coldplay seem like the housewives favourite making plenty guffaw at it. ETIAW may appease those dancy pop lovers but it's infinitely more understandable and more forgivable than a song that was made to make girls cry!
October 10, 201114 yr Looking forward to DLIBYH, Up With The Birds and U.F.O. Maybe they even didn't let us hear the album's best songs yet! But the truth is that all the rest sounds promising too!
October 10, 201114 yr UATW does sound like it does when they play it live (so don't worry about the pump organ comment), and to me, DLIBYH sounded closer to Charlie Brown than ETIAW. I tweeted my review to Q, and it definitely looks like they read it! :lol: Glad to see CP getting some good press for once.

ETIAW may appease those dancy pop lovers but it's infinitely more understandable than a song that was made to make girls cry! I don't like either of these two songs. There has been a real buzz about ETIAW you can't deny. Critics who like to take Coldplay down seem to adore it though, which is weird.
October 10, 201114 yr Critics love ETIAW. Not sure why. Rolling Stone in particular has a huge, raging boner for it. I'm not so suprised about that. I'm more suprised about the hate of some people here (well, most of the users like the song now after first disappointment).
October 10, 201114 yr I really love the fact that they compared UFO with Faust Arp :D This. :dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled: :dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled: :dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled: :dazzled: :dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled: :dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled: EDIT: ^BAH I tried to fix it. You get the point.
October 10, 201114 yr I really like ETIAW - I think Coldplay needed a song like that. However, I wasn't expecting it to be considered by some the best song in the album.
October 10, 201114 yr Very nice to read. Thanks for posting. But why do some people here think more synths and strings = more pop music? This is absolutely stupid. MX is just the era where those elements fit an. They wanted to work with those sounds and they did it perfectly. Im also not a friend of the idea that Rihanna is singing in Princess Of China. But that does not mean it´s a pop song. It´s the same song as most of you loved before, just with a new voice in it in addition. A new voice, that Chris Martin wanted to have in there. So it´s not without reason and it does not mean that Coldplay becomes more popish or something. Its still the same Coldplay as in Viva La Vida, just with a new style. And finally: Its just childish that any song, which has some electronic parts, is written by Eno... of course he helps out. But those songs are from Coldplay with a little extra touch from Eno. You all loved The Escapist or the beginning of Life In Technicolor... this was Eno´ish, too. Just like this. You have to give up your thought "If a song has X or Y in it, its pop music. End of story" Cause it´s not. What I want to say: It´s still Coldplay, it´s still brilliant and it´s not 1% more pop music than ever before. And please let me qoute Chris Martin: "When Chris and Jonny were asked about their transition to pop they responded: "We're just making what we want to make. We were making what we wanted to make back in 1999, and we're doing the same thing now. Yellow is probably our most pop song, and that's on our first record. Maybe. We don't want to keep making the same record, so some people like one record, some people like another record. Our first priority is to make something that sounds cool. We don't worry about what genre it fits into" Sorry for my English.
