nick311 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 MX, HLH, Charlie Brown, M.M.I.X., UATW, UFO, UIF, A Hopeful Transmission, Don't Let It Break Your Heart, and Up with the Birds. I didn't expect to like this many songs, but they are good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjef Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Most positive probably is that this album is not to Viva, what X&Y was to A Rush of Blood and Parachutes. It's something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thought I'd join this thread cuz I don't particularly like the album on first listening. Positives for me are: * It's another Coldplay album. Hey we're all fans. They're still a great band and this gives us more to listen to. * It's a change of direction again. Sure most groups change a bit and they get slated when they don't but there's a few more styles added to Coldplay from this. * Most of the songs are brilliant ideas IMO. If produced differently I think I'd love it even more than A Rush of Blood. * Hopefully they keep Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown fast and don't mess with the vocals when they perform it live because they're great anthems. * Don't Let It Break Your Heart is brilliant.

LadyBellaStrawberry Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm listening to it for the first time now :) I actually really like their lyrics this era, they did a really good job. I also like how they didn't do the sellout "faces plastered on album cover". The songs are catchy. It's loud and upbeat, it seems like a good beginning to something (or end :( ). And... ITS COLDPLAY :heart: They still have it :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R23 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 THEY F*CKING DID IT! My god, I love this album (thought I wouldn't actually). Highlights: - Mylo Xyloto, which sounded gorgeous, going on to HLH. - Charlie Brown, especially the beautiful piano ending to the ... - ..epic opening of UATW, which is beautiful by the way. - M.M.I.X. is the perfect intro for ETIAW, it really 'builds' something up. - Princess Of China has beautiful lyrics and I'm not lying when I say I think Rihanna did a very good job. I really like this one. - Up In Flames is beautiful, breathtaking. - Don't Let It Break Your Heart sounds to me a bit old school Coldplay. Like it. - The absolute best track on the album is the last one: Up With The Birds. My god, goosebumps all over the place. Brilliant. Beautiful.
