My favorite author by far :) But seriously, for anyone's that read Fahrenheit 451, Mylo Xyloto is the main character, Guy Montag. Not accusing Coldplay of stealing or anything because I don't really care, but the similarities between what we've seen of the comic and that novel are uncanny (the hypnofeed, the silencers, the sparkers, an oppressive society, etc.) Just thought I'd share!

Anybody ever read the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury? Because this plot/story sounds like a complete copy of it, with music/color being banned instead of books...

Yeah I noticed that the very ending sound of Up With The Birds is the same note as MMIX and the intro sound of ETIAW. Helps tie the happy feelings of MMIX and ETIAW with the happy ending of UWTB I think :)

The entirety of DLIBYH is also built around the MX progression, pretty much just an extension of AHT

Wow.

What's up guys? First and only post, but just had to add this. For those of you concerned that Coldplay has dropped the alien theme, I don't think they have. If you look at the spiral image that the band has been using (the roughly sketched spiral that is the homepage tab on their website, as well as on chris' piano, and their uniforms), it looks almost identical to ancient civilizations' carvings of UFO's and ancient astronauts. http://www.ufo-contact.com/wp-content/themes/supermassive%20new/lib/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://www.ufo-contact.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ancient_spirals.jpg&h=250&w=640&zc=1 While the spiral image is most prominent among ancient north american civilizations, other spiral shapes have been discovered in every continent on earth and is accepted by many as a clear sign of UFO's. Hopefully this gives some hope to the alien theme :cool: And if you don't believe this, they already registered U.F.O as a song on ASCAP, so that's a 100% chance it exist and will be utilized:laugh3:
