I don't know what that is, just like all of coldplays album titles when they are announced.... New word, Ethiopia.

your a waste to the server...all you do is knock forum threads that you don't seem to think is important enough.

Crests of Waves, Swallowed in the Sea, Spies, The Goldrush, Major Minus I just picked one from each album era. If I had to choose one.... Swallowed in the Sea.

well considering the oracle just said UATW's symbol is a person, using the letters CK which is meant to mean Car Kids....Id say the song got folded into that one. Probably the melody was that, but they changed the lyrics to fit MX. But since we are all trolling. enfants de voiture!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good God people. YOU ASSUME ENO IS THE REASON FOR THIS. The band are adults, they okayed it, (ENO isnt even a producer on this album) So if you don't like it, blame Rik and the Band.

Why do you guys want a song that you have never heard so badly. You act like it is the best song ever written...or not written?

Watching, loving how they are playing Stylo...totally getting me pumped for Coldplay lol

You act like having a thread is some sort of privilege. Why does it matter if he started a thread? Whats it to you? Makes no difference.

lolz. You guys think that Brian Eno influenced this album??? He helped with ideas, but the final mixing is up to the band and Simpson and Green. Eno only gave ideas on this album. You people are whining and assuming that because Eno wasnt there for the first three albums, he is responcible for all the changes. COLDPLAY WOULD NOT RELEASE SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDNT APPROVE OF. Its not like coldplay was like "We dont like the production of this album!" and Eno/ the other producers said "WELL YOU HAVE NO SAY SO SHUT UP". I work for a small record label. Lets be real people. Coldplay approved of this album, so don't blame ENO for the sound of it. Blame the band for the sound if you dont like it. However I love it.

Not comparable. Mylo Xyloto is an album that is basically supposed to be like a book. Each song is a chapter....they all come together to tell a story that is the book. Viva la Vida is like a collection of short stories. The songs where related but only in theme, not in story. Good album, but MX is meant to be heard all the way through. I feel that to take one song and compare it to Viva would be like taking one chapter of Lord of the Rings and comparing it to a story in a collection of short stories. My opinion.

I will just make this quick. Mylo Xyloto - 7/10 Hurts Like Heaven - 9/10 Paradise - 8/10 Charlie Brown - 10/10 Us Against the World - 15/10 MMIX - 6/10 Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall - 8/10 Major Minus - 8/10 UFO - 8/10 Princess of China - 9/10 Up in Flames - 8.5/10 A Hopeful Transmission - 8/10 Don't Let It Break Your Heart - 8/10 Up with the Birds - 8/10 I loved us against the world. Best song on the album for me, probably because I can relate to the lyrics and how they built the song. The album overall gets an 8.75/10. I find it difficult to compare the albums (i.e. "This isnt as good as AROBTTH") Each album had different positives and negatives for me. Yes it is too overproduced...but I like that. I love the spacey vibes it gives off. It just makes me me feel like I am being taken on a journey. Defiantly an album that needs to be listened to all the way through, which is what I have been waiting for Coldplay to do for 11 years. Individually I may not have rated the songs highly, but together they blend extremely well. but here is a comparison. Parachutes : 7/10 A Rush of Blood to the Head: 9.5/10 X&Y: 8/10 Viva La Vida: 8.5/10 Mylo Xyloto 8.75/10

I knew the vocals would be like this, because if you listen on youtube..people already uploaded the backing tracks that were played softly during the live versions. So in a way I was expecting this...maybe that is why I love it so much

Okay, this thread is basically for people who like what they have heard so far. Although, there will be trolls that will probably appear. Why do you like MX so far? I feel that this may tie my favorite album (Viva). The issue I had with Viva was that it wasnt a comprehensive album...which is something I really like. Viva had some of the best overall quality music, but the record could have been arranged a little better. Although MX may not have the best tracks (they are still really good in my opinion) they are supposedly ordered into a comprehensive album which is meant to be heard from start to finish. I love to throw a CD in the car and drive while listening to a whole album. I do not like an album that is a collection of songs that are really not related. Song by song breakdown (My Opinion) Us against the World : 9/10....reminds me of Kingdom of Heaven which I loved. Every Teardrop: 6/10... Yes it is catchy but not much depth to the song lyrically. Major Minus: 8/10 .....I love the voice effects and I love the words "one eye on the road and one on you.) P.S...the Road is my favorite book which is where Chris drew inspiration from. Charlie Brown: 8.5/10 ...its going to be a great studio song, but the reason its not a 9 is because it doesn't sound 'big' to me....soundwise. It sounds kinda muffled from what I have heard. May change when i hear the studio. Paradise: 8/10 .....Catchy, strings, and I feel that in the context of the album, will sound great. Hurts like Heaven: 8.5/10 ....definatly going to be on my playlist when I go for a run. Princess of China: 8/10 ... I Love Rhianna in the song...I love the bass...and I may change it to a 9 when heard in the context of the album, and not off some radio stream. I will always keep classic Coldplay close to my heart because that is what I fell in love with originally, but their new music is something special. The beats (PoC), the catchiness (HLH) the depth (CB). I feel that MX might be Coldplay's best overall album effort...and that is why I am stoked for this album. Why do you guys feel MX has promise?

Im gonna be that guy All of them Us against the World if I was FORCED, with PoC and Hurts like Heaven in a close 2nd.

I like it because.. 1.) Rhianna. She has a voice. You cannot deny that. 2.) The 'lalalalala' part. Chris and Rhianna's voice go together amazingly. 3.) The bass. I love house and electonica music, so I am a guy who likes some bass. 4.) Its different than anything they have ever done. There is one con, I have not heard it in the context of the album
