^ Agreed! Even after the review I have quite a few questions (which in my opinion is a good thing, still leaves some excitement for the album). One of those questions is about Hurts Like Heaven. We've all heard the backing track, which is pretty auto-tuney but it's just barely audible in the live versions. Is it like that in the studio version or does the backing track take more of a front seat?

*I posted this in the other thread so I copy/pasted it over here* Thanks for the review!! You have settled my nerves about PoC. I am now really excited to hear it again! As for people complaining about UFO and A Hopeful Transmission, think of it as a good thing. This way, we still have a surprise left for us on the album.

Awesome! Can't wait to read it! I've been avoiding posting in this thread because of all the negativity. I was waiting till we get another update from you or the link to the review itself. Haha. Thanks in advance for it! :D

Cool! Another live album! I loved Live 2003 and LeftRightLeftRightLeft!

Wow, that looks great! Thanks!!

So, MX has three different artworks. The colour one, the MX one, and the one where it's the whole album title spelled out with the letters coloured. Which one of these three is your favourite? Also, if you look at iTunes, the current artwork is the MX artwork, while during the first few days it was the colourful artwork. Think iTunes will give us both in the metadata when we download it or do you think we will have to add the other one manually? And finally, I'm a huge album art freak. So, does anyone have a high quality version of the artwork with the full MX title coloured in? I'd like to add that to the iTunes copy along with the other two.

Hahaha, this is great! Really funny!.

Amen to this, good sir!

I bought it. It hurt my pockets but i bought it. I needed those special goodies xD

Oh god, please not Kesha. That would have been horrid.

Hmmm, yeah, I can see her singing in that part too.

Agreed. I believe that the part where Chris sang the "lalalalas" in the live version is where Rihanna's part will be. I'm thinking it's just a small part. Maybe a verse or two.

Actually, both lyrics are right! Just erodes us in the rain is repeated 3 times and the fourth time it's And see roses in the rain.

I really like it. Maybe I just think that Coldplay can do no wrong because I really like ETIAW too. I've liked all of the new stuff so far. There has only been 1 song I've never really actively liked, Strawberry String. I don't dislike it, but it's probably the only song I've skipped a decent amount of times.

Not necessarily. ETIAW came out stand alone then was announced to have MM and MTM a week or so later.

So, I see that a lot of people are worried that Car Kids isn't on the album (which boggles my mind because none of us even knows what Car Kids sounds like). I actually never thought Car Kids was a song. I thought it was a lyric or a concept for the album. But, I suddenly got this idea. The artwork for Paradise is the part of the artwork of Mylo Xyloto that has Car Kids written on it. It's just cut off in the Paradise artwork. Maybe Car Kids will be a b-side to Paradise. Thoughts?

That's really interesting. I'd really like it if the album turned out to be just that!

I heard it and was like "WOAAH! This is Coldplay?!?" Very different from their usual stuff and I LOVE IT!! Can't wait!

For me, a Coldplay album will never be long enough! Hahaha. I love that X&Y was pretty lengthy and I wish they would do more >10 track albums.

No, there wasn't but the centre screen had red, green and blue swirls at different times of the song.

I'm pretty sure the swirl just correlates with the look of the album. They have graffiti swirls everywhere, and since HLH is a song about graffiti, it seems to fit. Plus, the backing visuals for HLH live has swirls pretty much throughout the whole song.

Already loving your signature haha!

I really like how each song has an icon. Strange that UATW got the Car Kids logo though. I expected Car Kids to be a lyric of a song, so I would have assumed that logo to go with said song.

I'm disappointed that ETIAW is on the album. Not because I don't like it, but because now the artwork won't be on my phone since Moving to Mars' official artwork is the EP's text on white. (I'm a fanatic for having all the single artworks with their respective B-sides as tracks.)
