MX is actually fantastic! I've listened to it so many times and it's SOOO good. Chris' voice is amazing and wow. It makes me so emotional. Haha! But I love Viva too!! I mean it's Viva! Its so hard to compare but MX is really good.

^ Maybe, i don't really know that much about the technicisms of music so i wouldn't be able to give an informed opinion on that matter but i think that, as far as classic Coldplay songs go, there is no topping AROBTTH :)

 

Oh I agree! You only have to look at their set lists to see that the songs from that album still are the permanent pins of their live shows. It's just classic in every sense!

5-7 in favor of Mylo Xyloto. (I took round 12 out because I'm not that familiar with the Escapist). To be honest, I really preferred Mylo Xyloto to Viva and I think it's true that MX is meant to be listened to as an album rather than individual songs. There are some songs on Viva I would skip if they came on, but I love everything on Mylo Xyloto.
