MYLO XYLOTO

When I first heard the name, I was like wooot? But it was expected I suppose. Chris Martin told the people at the Daily Sun that the name has no meaning and the band has a lot of meaning and history, so it’s nice to have something that means nothing LOL

Anyhoo, this album has put me on a new high. Undoubtedly my second favourite album of Coldplay. (For those of you who didn't know, X&Y is my number one album). And yes, I freaking love every song! Even the short snippet/intro's. The way it all comes together and plays into one another. If that makes sense? My favourite is of course “Charlie Brown” (Because it reminds me of the “old” Coldplay. And no I'm not denying, their sound has changed. But which bands haven’t? And in this case its change for the better. My other favourites are of course Para para “Paradise” :) Gives me goosebumps each time I hear it hehe. Coz it takes me back to the concert hehe. If my memory serves me right, they shot half of the music video here in the pretty Cape Town. Oh and don’t forget the easy going Up with the birds and the mellow-ey “Us Against the World”. It hits home. The acoustic brilliance and vocal harmony. Sure to be a number one I tell you!! “UFO” is also a nice soothing track. To me, a song have to feel good and speak to me. Lyrics and all. My cousin said last night that “they” say this is the worst album ever. All because they feature Rihanna on it. Thus making it a cash cow. But I beg to differ. “Princess of China” just proves how much they have grown. And that they still are “with-it” like my uncle says hehe.

I can listen to this album over and over. And relate to so many things. A true Coldplay experience don’t you think? Can’t wait to own it. Like in the hard copy. So many people download nowadays. And hardly appreciates the true value of a CD. Yeah yeah, I have the downloaded version too LOL. But I just couldn’t wait. Nonetheless, that’s a discussion for another time.

This one is definitely a winner!! You won’t be disappointed (^_______^)
