maricircus Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 "A more streamlined affair, re-embracing themselves as an unpretentious yet big-sonding pop group." 4/5 stars. From the print-copy! http://www.anydecentmusic.com/review/3804/Coldplay-Mylo-Xyloto.aspx FYI, Viva la Vida scored a 3/5 from them. From their review : "While they fight shy of radical "Kid A"-style reinvention, hats should be doffed to Coldplay for at least having artistic cojones to mess with a winning formula.

Mackplay Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Another great review. I read on EW magazine yesterday that Mylo Xyloto is Coldplay "sunniest album yet" Can't wait for next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTskilled Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Well I dont really know how music reviews work... but is 4 / 5 more than good? Because it sounds normal. Also, could someone try to explain the sentence: "A more streamlined affair, re-embracing themselves as an unpretentious yet big-sonding pop group" to me? My English is not good enough... do they say its a mainstreamed Coldplay or just a new Coldplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Army Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 To be fair, the other review by Uncut gave them 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimixxx Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 But there's more positive than negative so far. Which surprises me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Mojo are a heavyweight for me. Third to Uncut and Pitchfork. Actually, I'm pretty surprised it got that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Army Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yeah that's true....by what I can remember, 6/10 is the only 'bad' review so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My English is not good enough... do they say its a mainstreamed Coldplay or just a new Coldplay? Mojo is a pretty tough publication. They hand out 3/5 stars like cotton candy, so I'd say 4/5 is a great score for them. So far the reviews are looking pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para-para-parrotdies Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 What are the reviews so far? Q Magazine: Generally favorable, most likely a 4/5 or 5/5 Mojo: 4/5 Spin: 7/10 Uncut: 3/5 Am I missing anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guda4siempre Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Mojo gave Mylo Xyloto a 4/5 ??? is this the same music critic that gave AROBTH and X&Y 3/5 stars?? Uncut gave MX 3/5 but gave AROBTH 5/5 Spin gave MX 3.5/5 but gave X&Y 5/5 I wonder what rating is pitchfork going to give, maybe a 0.0 and I would not be surprised f**ing coldplay haters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
