There's not one bad song on the album IMO. The transitions are seemless and all the songs are beautiful. I'm sure in a few months my love for this album will die down a bit once I overplay it but I believe I will love this album always and forever.

Great:

WTF:

Mylo Xyloto

M.M.I.X.

 

NOTE: Mylo Xyloto is a beautiful introduction track BUT I prefer the live version over the studio version. Again, M.M.I.X. is a waste of time. It's MY opinion. DO NOT JUDGE. :D

Amazing

MX/Hurts Like Heaven -- 9.0

Us Against the World -- 8.5

MMIX/Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall -- 7.5

Major Minus -- 7.5

UFO -- 9.5

Princess of China -- 8.5

Up In Flames -- 7.0

A Hopeful Transmission/Don't Let It Break Your Heart -- 8.0

Up With the Birds -- 8.0

 

Mylo Xyloto as a whole -- 8.5

> Paradise really kills the momentum built up from the previous tracks

> Up In Flames isn't beautiful enough to pass as a "simple" song and still be brilliant

> There is a lack of a "without-a-doubt-standout-song" like Viva la Vida or Fix You. Which in a sense, is a good thing but still. Every album needs that MEGA HIT. And with all due respect to Charlie Brown its just not as universally appealing as Viva la Vida

> DLIBYH is very joyful and uplifting, but lacks cohesiveness or any clear direction. As good as it sounds in bits and pieces, it is too all over the place.

 

One thing's for sure: this album is a winner. it exceeded my expectations, which were already high to begin with. This deserves album of the year for sure. C'mon! Adele? hope it doesn't happen!! :fingersx:

Paradise

Great:

Charlie Brown (been one of my favorite Coldplay songs, not as great on record, but the melody is memorable)

Us Against the World (beautiful on record, always wait for the organ at the end, just so epic)

Mylo Xyloto/Hurts Like Heaven (always loved it, even though the studio is a little worse than live)

A Hopeful Transmission/Don't Let It Break Your Heart (rocking song, love the combination of electro and rock into one song)

Up With the Birds (gentle first half, uplifting and beautiful second half makes the song really)

 

Good:

U.F.O. (wonderful acoustic number)

Princess of China (good because of the transition from U.F.O, so it's bearable to listen)

Major Minus (epic, but kinda overplayed)

 

Ok:

M.M.I.X./Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall (The build up in M.M.I.X though is great, actually makes me want to listen to ETIAW)

Up in Flames (a little too simple, could have been much better)

Paradise (overplayed, just not in the mood anymore)
