It's definitely a strange album. I totally understand why they kept on saying it's a concept album, because I really really do feel the story in it. Strangely enough, the story reminds me of a mix of those weird Japanese animated films like 'Spirited Away' mixed with the huge, destroyed universe of Half Life with the songs being the journey of the main character in these environments. Mylo Xyloto is a stunning opening sequence, and leads really nicely into HLH. A lot of people seem to say HLH is overproduced, but I personally really like the style of Chris' vocals in it and the mixed sounds. Jonny's riff near the end is simply awesome. Almost prefer it over the live version! We've all heard Paradise - nice song, not the best, not close. Still love it though, it has a really nice feel to it. Charlie Brown is frickin' epic. The opening sounds are weird and add to the atmospheric weirdness of it, then leading into the main riff is just class. It fits well, and could be a nice single along with HLH. Us Against the World is my favourite song on the record. It's just so beautiful - it opens so nicely with Jonny's guitar and leads so well into the acoustic's with Chris' singing. It makes me reminiscent of the old days, and the first ever Coldplay concert I went to which made me the fan I am today (anyone who hasn't seen them live, get the fuck out there). The moment Will plays the piano near the end is stunning - it's so powerful, even though it's so simple (what Coldplay are always good at). A nice example of not too much production on a song. M.M.I.X and ETIAW are also really nice - M.M.I.X gives you the feel of being in a new environment and feeling vulnerable yet excited to discover what's there. ETIAW definitely fits in more now that you can hear it with the album as a whole. Honestly, Major Minus is my least favourite song on the album - It's cool, but somethings weird about it. It's a great song, but I dunno why, it just doesn't click. It almost seems like the middle song in the story, leading onto the new and more acoustic chapter. (I prefer the second half). Guy's bass is awesome on it though. Nicely mastered. U.F.O reminds me of Wedding Bells. Maybe that's how it ended up as it is. The swells of the electronic sounds and 'orchestra' is lovely along with the guitar and Chris. The ending of U.F.O is beautiful. Wish it was a bit longer, would be a nice instrumental. POC is nice, I like it. I agree with other people that Rihanna wasn't really necessary and Chris could've taken it all himself, but I get how it would be different without a female voice along with the story etc. It definitely adds something to it, just nothing major. Anyone could've done Rihanna's part, and there's lots off singers who could've done it better honestly. I like the broken synths on it, really nice touch. Up in Flames - Nice beat, I get the Massive Attack influence there. Sweet song, mixes some classic Coldplay with the 'latest' Coldplay :L. A Hopeful Transmission is a really nice remix of Mylo Xyloto, love the sounds. DLIBYH is my favourite song along with UATW. Love the driving beats at the start, it just gets straight into it which is nice and suits the style. A really hopeful song. Makes you feel happy like. I really like the vocals, and mixes nicely with A Hopeful Transmission (the hearbeat sound is really bassy and a nice touch). Up With The Birds - intro a bit like Christmas Lights anyone?; Anyway, lovely intro, very Coldplay like, if you get me; The added 'ah-uh' vocal is so lovely and an awesome touch! The swell of sounds and orchestral synths is purely stunning. Almost like you're going up with the birds..Then Jonny's guitar comes in and leads into some acoustics and the rest of the song. A really nice ending to the album. Overall - Although I love this album, there's a lot that stop it from being perfect. I felt a lack of intimacy between us and the band, like you get in all the previous albums (more so AROBTTH), but the overall feel of the album together as a whole almost overcomes the need for some of those moments, because if you listen to the album as a whole you become so engrossed in the feel of it almost as if you're in this environment that Coldplay has created, and you're on a journey through this environment. They've definitely changed. But that's not bad. ([email protected])
