thetwinparadox Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So now it is time to eliminate Coldplay's fifth LP, the controversial Mylo Xyloto. Hated by Oldplayers and revered by Newplayers, opinion is split over whether this is a good album. It's not my favorite album by any means but I like it. It's pretty cohesive despite some weak points and it's good fun even if the songs aren't the best. But which song is the best? It's time to begin the elimination process.... The contenders: MX/Hurts Like Heaven Paradise Charlie Brown Us Against the World M.M.I.X./Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Major Minus U.F.O. Princess of China Up in Flames A Hopeful Transmission/Don't Let It Break Your Heart Up with the Birds Christmas Lights Moving to Mars (The ABSOLUTE WORST thing about this era is the lack of b-sides :\ ) Well, I think I'm gonna surprise nobody and cast a vote for Princess of China. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisbe Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 A Hopeful Transmission/Don't Let It Break Your Heart. I do love the lyrics but I don't think they match with the melody. It's my least favorite song from this era, although I enjoy listening to it. #SavePrincessOfChina!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMDB9 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm with I ran away, I vote for Up in Flames Cant wait to see how this will play out! As much as I love the older stuff (AROBTTH is my favorite), MX is the first album (out of any band) I listened to start to finish and the first album I ever bought. My favorite song (MX/HLH) comes off this album, and if it wasn't for Paradise, I probably wouldn't be here, so I have some strong connections to MX....

thetwinparadox Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Up in Flames is a beautiful song. ;) Part of me wants it to win this elimination, even though I know that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ov3la Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Up in flames is one of my favorites on MX. [emoji173]️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 For me, Up In Flames is the worst song on MX. Terrible drumbeat and vocals, quite bland instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2iel Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I really am rooting for Hurts Like Heaven to win this era, it's prob the Coldplay song I've listened to the most.. I got Princess of China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politikian Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I vote POC. I actually like MX a lot, I think all the songs are good. But Princess of China has "got to go" :mx: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp3176 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Sorry but I'm going to have to let PoC go if we're voting for Up in Flames... I actually like that song. Major Minus. I'll vote for it and keep voting for it until it goes out, unless I have to save either Paradise, Up With The Birds, U.F.O, ETIAW, or Us Against The World.

gentleparachute Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Interesting how it's pretty unanimous - Up In Flames vs Princess of China... They are pretty much my two top picks of the album (to eliminate) :laugh3: Unfortunately my first pick goes to... Up In Flames! GO BURNNNNNN....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastwars Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I almost hate this album, what a let down... Except for Moving To Mars, Major Minus and Up With The Birds you can eliminate what you want. p.s. I noticed you put Christmas Lights, why don't you add Wedding Bells also? :) ah, I vote for Princess Of China obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do agree with @cp3176. I don't prefer Major Minus over most of the others. Just personal preference, it's not my favorite song. #christmaslightsforthewin!
