Heard the studio version of UATW yet? Rate it!

It's really, really good!

Heard U.F.O.? Rate it!

lol

I agree that this is a far different approach than their previous outings. Even differs from VLV in a big way. They are making a pop album here, clearly with an even more outer-space feel than X&Y. Honestly, I am starting to feel like MX is what they wanted X&Y to be.

Hmmm It gets better with each listen for me. I imagine the live version will blow it out of the water...

Have you listened to HLH? Rate it!

Have you heard UP WITH THE BIRDS? Rate it!

If you have heard DLIBYH, rate it!

put headphones on... There is clearly a d at the end of wired.

This will hopefully be a grower.... It's truly one of the best, I think.

Loving this song!

Round 1: Life In Technicolor Round 2: Lovers In Japan Round 3: Cemeteries Of London Round 4: Major Minus Round 5: Charlie Brown Round 6: Strawberry Swing Round 7: Lost! Round 8: 42 Round 9: Us Against The World Round 10: U.F.O. Round 11: Don't Let It Break Your Heart Round 12: The Escapist Final Round: Up With The Birds

In place of POC for me.... POC as the b-side on ETIAW

When you have heard the studio version, rate the song...

No worries... I am not one to be the grammar or spelling police. You had a realistic and fun take on the album. Glad you don't hate it. I feel sorry for those that were not impressed. Truly, I hope they find something to take away.

Love this too!:smug:

^ This!!! :laugh3:

Copy and pasted from another thread... This is my initial reaction... What is your take? Mylo Xyloto - It's no Life In Technicolor.... 7/10 Hurts Like Heaven - Loved this live and had higher expectations for the studio version. Its still a good opener, just has room for improvement. 8/10! Paradise - Though it is better in the context of the album, I will never love it. Their worst single release since The Hardest Part. 5/10 Charlie Brown - Good pop tune.... Good pop tunes should be introduced as a studio single before being un-leashed as a live BEAST!!! 8.5/10 Us Against the World - Could have been on AROBTH or Parachutes. Classic ColdPLAY and I love it... - 8/10 M.M.I.X. - Just an extension of ETIAW, or intro if you will. No rating. Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall - I couldn't say this at first, because no song has ever grown on me more, but Fuck the haters! This song is fun and meant to get the people pumping their fists! Not whining for another FIX YOU! - 9/10 Major Minus - I love everything about this song. ESPECIALLY the stuff most people hate. I think it is my favorite on it, so far. It's loud, I can hear everything on it including Chris' whacked out, spacey, messed up vocals. I LOVE IT! Each listen it gets better and better 10/10 U.F.O. - See Us Against The World, but even better! Could have even been longer... 9/10 Princess of China - I like Rihanna and her music, but this is a Coldplay album... It's like a Rihanna song featuring Coldplay and not a good one. - 5/10 Up in Flames - Slightly repetitive, somewhat listenable. A little too moody for me right now and I could do with out the boom bah boom beat... Love the guitar work towards the end. - 7/10 A Hopeful Transmission - Fun little intro to DLIBYH, but these are sort of like the songs themselves... Not sure why they needed these... Don't Let It Break Your Heart - I like this. A LOT! It has an urgency and a pulse that far exceeds any other song on the album. Wish they would have released this as the first single. Instantly enjoyable and hope it remains so... 9.5/10 If it stays as shiny and endures it will be a 10 Up with the Birds - The Last two songs are so strong! This is a great tune that should please all fans, new and old. BRILLIANT! 10/10 Overall first impression: Strong and fun with a ton of energy. Compared to the others, unfortunately it's not as good on the first listens, for me. VLV, Parachutes, and AROBTTH were instant classics. Much more enjoyable on first listens than X&Y was... It is as good as I was expecting, but didnt exceed my hopes. Coldplay will always be my favorite band, I suppose. This just isn't their best. Nor is it their worst... 7.5 of 10 over all. Maybe an 8. I pre-ordered! EDIT: There is NO REASON why Moving To Mars isnt on this album! It is more than worthy...

You could hear parts of the backing "vocals" in the live version and it was to be expected. IMO. I do like the song. It's not my favorite, but it doesn't suck either. I like the lyrics and the fact that it's electronically altered doesn't hurt my feelings. I like sythns and messing with pedals.

It's just because we've heard the live version first. I hope for the next album that they do not play the songs live first. I think that was a big mistake.

Really? cool! ^this

Was thinking the same thing, but we must all be swept up in work and school or listening to the album. FINALLY! I for one am glad that is as uplifting as it is. On my 3rd full listen now and its got me up moving around the house. Love it! EDIT: I still can't figure out what most fans don't see in Major Minus... I blast it whenever it comes on!

One of those killer, better than the cuts on the album, Coldplay b-sides... I guess...
