likeafire Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 And even by some Coldplay fans. Its not that bad is it? I actually like it. I listened to it after i read some of the bad reviews about it and wondered what everyone was moaning about. It has some absolute quality songs on the whole album, like charlie Brown, Us against the world, Up in flames etc. Obviously its no viva la vida but nothing wouldve beaten that album. Why is it being slammed? Why are fans turning against them? Will coldplay lose out due to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it is better than VLV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyFavouriteMemory Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't think it's getting slaughtered, I'd say it's getting mixed reviews. Which is probably what they had to have expected going into release. And no Coldplay will not lose out. They're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 You only have to see the latest poll results for fans' general feelings on the album. Very positive I'd say. However they will never please everyone all of the time no matter what album they put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsons210 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Eh? What you on about? I would say much more positive from all I have read. Anyway if you like it then that's all that matters! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyMN28 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 My way of looking at it is simple. If you like it, that should be good enough. I love it, I dont care what the haters have to say! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para-para-parrotdies Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't think it's getting slaughtered, I'd say it's getting mixed reviews. Which is probably what they had to have expected going into release. According to Metacritic (which is an aggregate of "reputable" reviews), Mylo Xyloto's average rating is currently at 59%, the highest score being 8 out of 10. If the score stays where it is, then MX would be the lowest scoring Coldplay album. Granted, it's still a bit early as it only lists 18 reviews but the Metascore probably will be mid-60s at the highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Escape Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The BIG problem with Metacritic and all those aggregate websites is that they do not include reviews without ratings... also even if its 100 reviews up there... that's just 100 people's opinions... 100 people who got journalism degrees and couldn't cut it in print so they went online, and because the pop culture section was already covered by Suzie Newsworthy, they decided to take over music. Cause hey they like music! And they once listened to half of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" before they passed out doing shots while studying for their journalism final.

I've posted a ton about it in the last couple weeks. You'll have to dig through some older posts. (I can find one if you want) But yes, I'm disgusted with nearly every aspect of the album and what the band has become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
