aschall Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 UWTB for me. Haha, who voted for MMIX & AHT? :D :P can you tell me why UWTB is so good? I'm not hating, I just want someone to tell me why they like so much so that maybe I will like it some day too. Cuz I'm not feeling it for some reason I cannot explain.

Coeurli Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 ^At first I didn't really get it either. But weeks after I've first listened to it, I decided to try it again. And I cried :wacky: Personally, first of all I find the lyrics to be very beautiful. Then, the first part is dreamy, but then suddenly you feel like the birds finally take off and fly, and there's the second part of the song kickin in, where the character claims his love for the girl, what he's ready to do for her, and his optimism and...you know, the music accompanies the lyrics perfectly, imo... And it has a great message :wacky: Anyway, I find it so hauntingly beautiful :awesome: :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The first part of UWTB is sort of weird. But ending is just amazing! :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harondor Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 By now my favourite track is HLH. ''It's so good, it's so good'' ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 hate to nit-pick but, you think parachutes is the least cohesive? your definition of cohesive may be different than mine so I will clarify. To me cohesiveness equals flow. Parachutes flows very well, in a way that it can lull you to sleep (in a good way). Now if I thought cohesivenss meant that it tells a story then yeah you're right. Parachutes doesn't tell a story. But from a band like Coldplay, I'm not expecting a lyrical masterpiece. So if an album flows musically I am happy. It could mean both things. And I agree with everything you said. Even though MX has interludes and changes from bombastic to acoustic songs, I find it more playable from start to finish than Parachutes.

RayaBadran Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 My personal favorite is Charlie Brown. It's a beautiful masterpiece! Just like the whole album! But I feel like Charlie Brown has something connected with their old music (*cough* Clocks *cough*). The album is amazing, espicially in love too with Up With The Birds. The songs connected like it's one track? Genius. Props, they worked hard on that album... WORTH IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The beginning of UWTB reminds me of Somewhere Over the Rainbow or a dreamy showtune. Coldplay style. I was kind of meh about the little chorus where all the strings kick in, but it started making more sense when I thought of it like ^that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Z Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Charlie Brown without a doubt - I used to dislike the studio version but I've grown to love it :) But honestly, this is the only album (from any band!) I can listen to fully - I love every single song now. Certainly my favourite album ever :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjors93 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It is hard to chose, I love every song on it, but I went crazy when I first heard Major Minus in Germany last year. It's a brilliant live song, all the guitars. Almost every song from MX is brilliant live, but I like the rough style of Major Minus. And I have to say, DLIBYH is the one I almost don't listen to, I don't like it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 now that i finally had the chance to listen the whole album my fave tracks are: Hurts like Heaven, Major Minus, Princess of China. Since my first fave was Major Minus i voted that one on the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like that, but now I like it. :awesome: And I love MM, but it's not my fav MX song. I'm glad it's on this tour's setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschall Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I feel like DLIBYH is half of a song. Could have been better if it was developed further. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Leo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I don't think I can listen to a single song on Mylo Xyloto, at least until this moment. The album is like a long song for me. That´s exactly how I feel about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titi971 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I voted for HLH but I LOVE DLIBYH too, and just after CH !! Anyway LOVE COLDPLAY as all of us here ! :D:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraLaura82 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Up with the birds even if it really sounds like an unfinished song. When the rhythm starts and you feel like in the middle of the song then it ends :cry: The more I listen to MX the more I appreciate it :D At the moment I think that Major Minus is my second favourite MX song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Nip 2 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I voted for M.M.I.X cause it had no friends:hug: Me and M.M.I.X will go on the swings together. I agree with the statement that the whole album (or at least multiple songs) need to be listened to at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
