I fear you're right.

The live version of PoC came up on my iPod shuffle last night. I could just hear how Rihanna was going to ruin it. I wanted to cry.

I like how evenly spread the votes are.

+1

I'm rather hoping an all-Chris sung version will appear as a b-side at some point. Not holding my breath though.

Tickets to The National are going on sale in my town tomorrow morning. They're being supported by The Walkmen. I love both bands so much and have never seen either live before so naturally I'm really quite excited. :D

They didn't :cry:

:cry: Still, at least it explains why it hasn't been played live recently.

Oh god I hope not.

This. There's nothing wrong with expanding your sound and going in different directions. Radiohead are the obvious example here (and probably an overused one). Coldplay themselves even, their sound has progressed quite a bit since Parachutes yet they've still managed to produce four mainly great albums. But this new direction simply isn't working.

My version of the album is 11 songs long at the moment.

:laugh3: I like the way you think! Not totally certain an indie label would save them at this stage though.

Wrong.

What is this I can't even begin to....

Potentially good songs remaining on MX Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven Charlie Brown Us Against The World MMIX Major Minus UFO Up In Flames A Hopeful Transmission Don't Let It Break Your Heart Up With The Birds I don't want to get rid of any more.

It's about to get worse. Just read an article claiming Rihanna will feature on MX.

ON THE FUCKING MONEY! As each day passes I grow less excited for Mylo Xyloto.

I figured I'd best start this thread up, as we had similar threads for ETIAW and Christmas Lights. Maybe it's because ETIAW has grown on me a little bit in the past few months but on first impressions I'm even less impressed by this. Whilst it's not an awful song, it does feel a bit too generic and radio-by-the-numbers for my liking. Which is slightly depressing considering this is the same band who gave us Politik, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face etc... Still looking forward to Mylo Xyloto quite a bit and will definitely give it a listen when it comes out, but this song has dashed my hopes slightly.

It sounds better than ETIAW for sure, but it still feels a bit too safe and generic for my liking.

There are 10 songs I'm inclined to believe will be on the album. 1. Mylo Xyloto 2. Hurts Like Heaven 3. Major Minus 4. Paradise 5. Charlie Brown 6. Princess Of China 7. DLIBYH 8. Up In Flames 9. Us Against The World 10. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall I like to think there'll be at least one surprise on the tracklisting though.

My guess is it's a characters name. We'll wait and see I guess.

Gave it a listen. Didn't enjoy it. Ah well.

I like the album. Which is why I hate to say it, but I can easily see these guys being classified a one-hit-wonder in a few years time.

I'm wondering if it's worth a shot or not. I didn't get much into Inshalla and the two singles off this album are just awful. Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
