Nov 23, 2013Coldplay's best album by far and my favorite album in the world. Every song is class; the band has really pulled it out of the bag with enchanting and uplifting lyrics and melodies.

Mar 29, 2014Sure it's not as good as any of the other Coldplay albums, but I owe this album one. I think this is probably what got me into Coldplay. I enjoyed many different songs, however I do think that there were a few songs that were kind of made me go "meh." My favorite songs were probably "Hurts Like Heaven", "Paradise" and "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall."

Feb 26, 2015Their most brightest album ever made. Album artwork,graffiti,music videos are really exciting.People said :"Mylo Xyloto is the **** more pop styled album".But I completely disagree with this.

Jun 11, 2015Coldplay definitely goes for mainstream silly pop in this record. Songs are simplistic and sound artificially composed. There's no emotion or inspiration in this album, it's just a collection of perfectly crafted hit parade tracks. The production of Brian Eno adds nothing but an excessive grandeur to this annoying mess.

Feb 3, 2015This album sets its style right from the start with the intensely upbeat Hurts Like Heaven, and sticks with it down the stretch, providing several catchy and emotionally powerful tunes. It's a respectable album overall and it's a good addition to the Coldplay discography.

Jul 17, 2016This album kinda had a improve since when Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends released. This album had a couple of good songs like "Paradise", "Charlie Brown" and "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" were the best. But I didn't like the fact that they changed their sound which was pretty disappointing. Despite their sound, the overall of this album is alright!...I guess.

Jan 23, 2017Not as much Coldplay as we were all used too and they changed up their style to become more of a pop band, but the album was still enjoyable for the most part. Some of the biggest difference, for me, was that lyrics seemed to have changed to be less meaningful on this album in comparison to others.

Aug 8, 2017This album have one objection - "Paradise" wasn't first single from the album. Other from that, album is synonym for perfect pop/rock combination. Collaboration with Rihanna is a real deal.

Sep 24, 2020This was the album which Coldplay wanted to change their image of sadness songs. Good and surprising album. I remember the first time I listened to it it was a mixture of weirdness and happiness. Highlight of the album is Every teardrop is a waterfall

Nov 28, 2011Mylo Xyloto feels like it was created by an actual rock band, with each player stepping up his game.
-
Nov 14, 2011Mylo Xyloto proves that Coldplay are quite simply the best pop band in the world, bar none.

Nov 8, 2011With all the bells and whistles in prominent display, Coldplay may have made their most enjoyable album. I only hope the sourpusses enjoy it.
