I just blew your mind then.

I don't mean to come off as an ass, but in every single possible scenario, A Rush Of Blood To The Head is better than Mylo Xyloto.

 

I honestly respect your opinion as AROBTTH is the most appreciated album by the fans but I think MX is better than AROBTTH by its cohesiveness, artistry and boldness. AROBTTH takes the depth in lyrics and it deserves credits for that. However, MX's lyrics are also good and is so very timely...
