  1. Mylo Xyloto is a return to form in my opinion. Really disliked Viva La Vida, whilst X&Y started to bore me. Parachutes is still the one to beat...
  2. ^ Agreed with Parachutes. It's a brilliant album. X&Y apart from the 'big songs' I felt the same. Loved Talk and those ones - and there was a great outtake or B-side (whatever it was) it had on the DVD that I just can't remember it's name that I thought was awesome.

    That, sir, is a +1-worthy post.

    BTW, from the Listening topic:

    I've listened to the whole of Mylo Xyloto today for the first time in many weeks (maybe since November). Amazing album.
  4. In my opinion, X&Y is their worst album, by far. I really liked Viva la Vida and I prefer it to Mylo Xyloto. MX just got a bit over-produced, a bit boring in the end after listening to it endless times...
  5. Does anyone think Para-Para-Paradise is over-over-played too fucking much?
  6. I can't say I "disliked" VLV, not at all... But it sounded too pretencious, too ambitious... Some of the songs are excellent, but looking back, the final overall result was pretty disappointing. MX has at least 3 songs that are better than any song in VLV.

    PS. I'm gonna rename this to General CP Chat 16
  7. Mylo Xyloto didn't hit me from the frist few listens, but after 'rediscovering' it last month, there are some really good tracks on there. My favourite is probably Us Against The World which seems to have elements of the old Coldplay, a good point in my book.

    Paradise is overplayed.

    VLV had some good tracks but on the whole it wasn't particulaly great.
  8. I might give it another listen. Probably my favourite song off Viva would have been the last one.
  9. They always have excellent album closers, and that might be MX's weakest point, although by no means I dislike Up With The Birds... It's just... Not brilliant enough. Us Against The World would have been a better album closer, or even Teardrop.
  10. Teardrops would have been great with an extended drum outro for an ending.
  11. Yeah Teardrop would have been a great closer for that album. All those interludes piss me off too. None of them are the least bit necessary.

    Sort of agree. The preludes are good build up to the songs and should stay but could've been mixed into the tracks that they support. I don't see why shaving 30 seconds of the start of a track is beneficial.
