Hopeful Transmission is the best instrumental. But MMIX "works" the best. ETIAW sounds way better after UATW and MMIX than it did when it was a single.

MX/Hurts Like Heaven ! and after listening HLH, my brain wants to hear Yellow because of the summer festival setlist.

UIF>AHT>DLIBYH>UWTB makes the album

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

For me

MX>HLH>P>CB>UATW makes the album

AHT/DLIBYH definitely! I think the heavenly voices at the end do it for me

You can listen to DLIBYH without AHT and it sounds fine.

But if you just start up HLH without MX, it sounds weird.

Takk sample/ Princess Of China

I personally think the transition from POC to Up In Flames is the best. True, the tracks don't actually bleed into one another, but I think it sums up the two sides of the album brilliantly. POC is this big, epic moment and is quickly transitions to UIF, which is so sparse and stripped down. Prior to the album, Jonny talked about wanted to have really huge moments on the record and really intimate moments. This is a good example.

 

Thus, POC to UIF is my fav transition

definitely AHP to DLIBYH for me. I love that build up to those awesome drums :dazzled:

Don't let it break your Heart / Up with the Birds.

Obviously.

The best is DLIBYH-UWTB however the MX-HLH transition is crucial.

MX > HLH

For me, Hurts Like Heaven can't/shouldn't be played without Mylo Xyloto. Don't Let It Break Your Heart however has a really lovely pounding that opens it. A Hopeful Transmission is merely a bonus. MMIX is an afterthought. Thought that was obvious...?

Mylo Xyloto/Hurts Like Heaven... but that's probably because I heard it all summer.

AHT > DLIBYH... MX> HLH ..
