Major_Love Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi guys, the album leaked, maybe its time for a short thread about your first impressions of Mylo Xyloto if you heard it completely. What do you think about it? (if its not correct to open the thread please delete it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al200 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 up with the birds is AMAZING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjef Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think they've made great mix of electronic and instrumental music, it's more polarised than any other album they've done. But I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-para-parrotdies Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 A welcome relief after the release of the poor singles. But nowhere near a masterpiece as some people are making it out to be. It's a solid album, like 7 out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Love Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 That it will polarize is nothing new. ;) There is too much new and innovative, its too different from Parachutes that there won't be criticism but I don't care about them who only want to hear music of one genre. So, overall you say its a great album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-para-parrotdies Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 So, overall you say its a great album? Take a listen for yourself and see :) I personally think it's a solid album, still below AROBTTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, overall you say its a great album? I think it's good job that the album still sounds like one whole album, but it consists out of electronics tracks (like POC) AND acoustic ones (like UFO). Two different styles but they work next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chechoouu Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 OMG I just start downloading it and i cannot wait, it's 9.14 am here in Chile and it's official, my day is done :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Not a masterpiece no. The inclusion of Para and ETIAW ensures that for me. But there were moments that gave me goosebumps and moments the evoked emotion and I was petrified I wouldn't get that from this album. Not their best, but a solid album. The final three songs are sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick311 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's a lot better than I ever expected it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Going to start listening to it now. It sounds amazing so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor!42! Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Better than i expected. Those two singles definitely did not do it justice in any way. Nice mix of raw and classic coldplay and 'evolved' coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartjo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Better than I expected. (2) It can be a problem because they sound different live. So, kind of agreed about overproducing thing. But this album is good as an album. I really love how this album goes (except Major Minus) and the atmosphere. This makes my years. I bet DLIBYH will break audiences' heart at the concerts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hux90 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Very nice album. Some people have claimed Major Minus breaks the momentum, and I think that's the point. It breaks the story in half, just like on the boards when the tracklist was revealed. The second half is a masterpiece ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turin990 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think Coldplay have made a masterpeice. They made everysong intersting and wonderful. I couldn't wish for a better album !!!!!! Dont let it break your heart, if you hate it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairycat101 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Let me first say that my expectations for this album were lowered a lot this morning after I heard 'Princess of China',and really did not like it (I know that I'm one of the very few). But I must say I'd give the album about an 8.5/10, I think most of the tracks are great. Favourites so far are 'Hurts Like Heaven' and 'Don't Let It Break Your Heart'.

wilfu Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I love it, and I belive both "new" and "old" Coldplay-fans will get what they want. Yeah, it is a new style - but still, I think the low key songs are really classic Coldplay. It ain't no Parachutes, and I'm glad it isn't. I love Parachutes, but Coldplay have evolved. This is so good, and they better come to my country as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree about the second half though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeriCri Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 not so sure that electronics and acoustics work together to me ... but I also think that we cannot have a good idea of it before listening to the "real" album! anyway, love the last three songs, me too! Princess of China is not that bad - I just don't like solo-Rihanna's voice ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebazz1994 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have just listened the album and I have to say it's amazing! The new songs are great and even Paradise and ETIAW, on which I had my comments, sure do fit in the album as a whole. I really liked the songs Up In Flames and up With The Birds. Coldplay still has that magic in them to perfectly deliver these beautiful songs. A great album, not as great as AROBTTH but it still met up to my expectations, maybe even above that. My grade: 8.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitaamine Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 There are pros and cons for me. This is a solid album with some truly beautiful songs but too much electronic going on, we dont hear Chris's voice enough.. They should have sticked to an acoustic album, not over produced songs.. And last but not least: Moving To Mars SHOULD HAVE been on that album. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooby Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 So much reverb! Sounds amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicoldp Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 The album somehow exceeded my expectations. It will grow on me.I can't say yet if this is the best that Coldplay has done, but I can say: this album is wonderful. 8/10 There are pros and cons for me. This is a solid album with some truly beautiful songs but too much electronic going on, we dont hear Chris's voice enough.. They should have sticked to an acoustic album, not over produced songs.. And last but not least: Moving To Mars SHOULD HAVE been on that album. Period. I agree with that. Would fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
