I hope you've noticed how out of hand this has gotten...

^ Well, Coldplay is notorious for their environmental endorsement!! ;) lol

I don't even know why I posted that because you're going to twist it again.

Let me dissect our posts just so you know what I'm understanding because you obviously are misunderstanding me. You said "Given that no one knows the intent behind Coldplay's naming process (especially since we have no official tracks to try to relate to it and even make a remote guess), you have as much of a clue about Coldplay's intent as we do, which is none. Don't try to act like you know more than everyone else when you don't." When you said, "Don't try to act like you know more than everyone else when you don't." I responded in my next post by saying, "but please don't attack me and say "you think you know more."<--- this part seemed to confuse you. I'm NOT --I repeat NOT--saying you (violetsparks) know more than I do, I'm saying you think I know more than you, which is why I said "because I really don't and I'm not trying to come off like that. I'm trying my best to be genuine and I'm NOT saying you're wrong and that I'm right." You are obviously never going to be able to understand what I'm trying to get across when you think I'm attacking you every post, so I don't know what to do at this point. I'm not twisting what you say and I never have. Jesus Christ.

No idea!

^^ That's awesome!!

I'm not commenting on the similarities in their music styles at all, I'm saying you don't have to understand the words in songs/albums for it to be applicable to the theme/style you're trying to achieve on a cohesive and well-sequenced album. And I'm really honestly not trying to say I know more, I'm just saying my point of view and what I think. I'm sorry if you think it's wrong, but please don't attack me and say "you think you know more." because I really don't and I'm not trying to come off like that. I'm trying my best to be genuine and I'm not saying you're wrong and that I'm right. If this thread is about the album cover being a separate entity, it shouldn't be treated like that until we know for sure it fits the character of the album. NOW I'M NOT SAYING I KNOW THE CHARACTER OF THE ALBUM!!!! I'm just saying we don't know yet, and therefore the album shouldn't be judge because it might ruin our experience listening to the album.

^ LIKE

Lord almighty, I think you're completely missing the point. :lol: I'm not really that stupid to realize that they're completely different, I'm not comparing their music at all. I'm simply making the point that the album title doesn't have to make any sense at all and still be completely relevant. I'm quite aware Sigur Ros is completely different. I'm glad you don't like it, but if the argument is that "it doesn't make sense, and I don't like it because of that" then I want to try to refute that, because we're OBVIOUSLY not meant to understand it so it must be part of the band's writing process.

Well yeah, it's pretty epic! :D

Oh lol... that makes a bit more sense :P

No I don't think they would put it as a B-side. First of all, Up In Flames is obviously going to be on the album because Chris and the rest of the band are "fired up about it". Paradise is going to be a single. Princess Of China (when mentioned along with two other songs that are 99% sure to be on the album) is pretty much guaranteed. If they leave Princess Of China out and release it as a B-side, then I guess it's also pretty safe to say there must have been some pretty freakin' super songs to take its place in the album sequencing.

The album?? No. It's out Oct. 25 (in America).

^ I AGREE!!!!!

^ You have an awesome avatar!

Yes! And how it WILL NOT be left off! It's like the Viva La Vida of Mylo Xyloto (so far). BTW, Charlie Brown, Princess Of China and Hurts Like Heaven are ALL single quality songs. This gives me a lot of hope for LP5 being the best thing ever. I think PoC is definitely the strongest one. It has an interesting structure with awesome synthesizers, guitar parts and tack piano overlays! And the main synth-riff is orgasmic!

I think we are... lol. I've posted on a lot of threads supporting PoC. It's my favorite one yet.

These. Are. So. COOL!!!!

Really???

Same here!

Yes Bellamy is exceptional, my mature and level-headed friend.

Oh... sorry I didn't read up on the last posts. I guess that seems accurate. I guess I'm just a little perplexed as to why people need to know what 'Mylo Xyloto' means. I personally don't care. Even though it doesn't have a meaning, it's random, it sounds cool, it's new and it's quirky. People are always pointing out how mainstream and simple Coldplay is and then they get angry when they don't understand the album cover... well, maybe it's not meant to be understood. There's this Icelandic band called 'Sigur Ros' (I don't know if you've heard of them, but Chris Martin named them as one of the best bands, and I have to agree with him). They don't even have understandable lyrics (a mix between English and Icelandic), but that's not the point of them. Their music is so lush and atmospheric that the lyrics (whereas they might not make sense) just add a layer of emanation to the music. The point is: We haven't heard the songs yet from Mylo Xyloto, so how are we supposed to immediately dismiss the name as fluffy and useless? The simple pronouncement of the word may add a different layer of emotional connection to the music itself... But maybe I'm crazy or retarded. Probably the latter.

Well, it's all speculation at this point :\ I think we've both proved our point pretty adequately.

Ummmm... did I say something wrong? Okay then. Correction: Just as vague.

And no =( I didn't get the reference. sorry!!
