October 17, 201114 yr XYLOTO is better than Viva by a few miles. I liked Viva, some amazing songs came from it (Lovers in Japan, Strawberry Swing, Viva la Vida) but for some reason it didn't feel like coldplay. XYLOTO just embodies everything Coldplay is, a little of the new and old. It's just more complete.
October 17, 201114 yr Round 1: Life In Technicolor vs. Mylo Xyloto Round 2: Lovers In Japan vs. Hurts Like Heaven Round 3: Cemeteries Of London vs. Paradise Round 4: Violet Hill vs. Major Minus Round 5: Viva La Vida vs. Charlie Brown Round 6: Strawberry Swing vs. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall Round 7: Lost! vs. Princess Of China Round 8: 42 vs. Up In Flames Round 9: Yes vs. Us Against The World Round 10: Reign Of Love vs. U.F.O. Round 11: Chinesse Sleep Chant vs. Don't Let It Break Your Heart Round 12: The Escapist vs. A Hopeful Transmission Final Round: Death And All His Friends vs. Up With The Birds Final Round was the hardest to decide. I love both of those songs!!
October 17, 201114 yr ^ ^All of you who say VLV doesn't feel like Coldplay it is because you have this idea in your mind. VLV is Coldplay, and so is MX. I swear that if VLV didn't exist, MX would be the new "it doesn't feel like Coldplay" album. To make MX, VLV was necessary. It would go like this: "almost acoustic" Parachutes A Rush... "the same but overproduced" XY "let's try something new" VLV "let's bring further away this new sound" MX

October 18, 201114 yr Round 1: Life In Technicolor vs. Mylo Xyloto Round 2: Lovers In Japan vs. Hurts Like Heaven While I love lovers in Japan for me sometimes it just misses the mark a few times and I can't find myself listing to it often. Round 3: Cemeteries Of London vs. Paradise Oh common these an't even the same style of song. Round 4: Viollet Hill vs. Major Minus Oh I missed these ones- oh will I'll vote for none. Round 5: Viva La Vida vs. Charlie Brown Oh finally one with simular styles, deap down I want to say Charlie Brown but I believe they are good songs so another tie. Round 6: Strawberry Swing vs. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall I don't even remember what Strawberry...oh yes I do. No. Round 7: Lost! vs. Princess Of China Lost hands down. Round 8: 42 vs. Up In Flames Up in Flames will go up in flames its horrible. Round 9: Yes vs. Us Against The World I find Us against the world boring. Round 10: Reign Of Love vs. U.F.O. mmm Round 11: Chinesse Sleep Chant vs. Don't Let It Break Your Heart Round 12: The Escapist vs. A Hopeful Transmission Final Round: Death And All His Friends vs. Up With The Birds I don't know where I'll go imo tie. 1-0 0-1 1-1 0-0 1-1 0-1 1-0 1-0 1-0 0-1 0-1 0-1 1-1 7-8
October 18, 201114 yr Not comparable. Mylo Xyloto is an album that is basically supposed to be like a book. Each song is a chapter....they all come together to tell a story that is the book. Viva la Vida is like a collection of short stories. The songs where related but only in theme, not in story. Good album, but MX is meant to be heard all the way through. I feel that to take one song and compare it to Viva would be like taking one chapter of Lord of the Rings and comparing it to a story in a collection of short stories. My opinion. I haven't even listened to Mylo Xyloto, but I completely agree.

November 1, 201114 yr Viva > MX on an all-around perspective, in my opinion. Viva is pretty solid in the quality of its songs, but MX is kind of all over the place, with both great and horrible songs. :P Round 1: Life In Technicolor vs. Mylo Xyloto Round 2: Lovers In Japan vs. Hurts Like Heaven Round 3: Cemeteries Of London vs. Paradise Round 4: Violet Hill vs. Major Minus Round 5: Viva La Vida vs. Charlie Brown Round 6: Strawberry Swing vs. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall Round 7: Lost! vs. Princess Of China Round 8: 42 vs. Up In Flames Round 9: Yes vs. Us Against The World Round 10: Reign Of Love vs. U.F.O.

November 2, 201114 yr whew.... this thread is pointless.... MX is a story album so the songs are completely supporting one another.. Viva is also a concept album but its songs are not bonded together. people may ask this: where are the great songs of MX? the answer: the album is just a large song!!! there are no standouts because all of them are brilliant... like what i've said, they support each other to convey the message^^
