Aug 8, 2017Two great singles don't make a good record. Yeah, it has an iconic Paradise and an absolute banger Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall, which may be the most radio-friendly song of Coldplay up to date, but the whole idea of the album seems a bit child-ish: songs like Charlie Brown and Hurts Like Heaven are something you would like to see from a starting indie-band, not coldplay.

Oct 26, 2011i know that many people are disappointed but this is why coldplay is agreat band as the fans don't accept any other thing but perfection. though the album is great maybe the songwriting isn't so good but the music is very amazing and unique

Oct 24, 2011The album is yes an interesting concept of love and good melodies, but doesn't hide disappointment in the same way of X&Y.. A lack of variety and much of Dejà -heard

Oct 25, 2011This is clearly some of Coldplay's best work yet. There's a much more modern sound to Mylo Xyloto than any of the previous Coldplay albums, yet they maintain their unique sound that has been consistent since their earliest tracks. I would recommend this album to just about anyone.

Oct 24, 2011It's not Coldplay's best but the critics are overlooking the beauty of the new sound that this album brings. I feel like a change in any band's traditional style is now frowned upon.
-
Oct 25, 2011A little disappointing. Very uneven album. There are a lot of transition tracks that should have just been added to the song after them. Not their best, but certainly not their worst. The best track is Major Minus. I still can't believe that song was a B-side.
-
Oct 24, 2011Absolute genius. Best Tracks,
"Hurts Like Heaven"
"Paradise"
"Charlie Brown"
"Us Against the World"
"Every Teardrop is a Waterfall"
"U.F.O."
"Don't Let it Break your Heart"
All of them are great -

Oct 24, 2011Amazing, beautiful, strange and very diverse. I consider this the Kid A of Coldplay, while I consider Rush of Blood to the Head to be the OK Computer. As you can guess, I like Kid A better, because this one is so risky. It's a beautiful piece of work and is near perfect. 10/10

Oct 24, 2011Great album with beautiful songs! Was hoping for more full songs and less intros but they still make listening to the album exciting! I love that Coldplay is trying out new sounds in their music and continuing to produce such great songs
-
Dec 16, 2011I'm angry at Coldplay for this piece of junk. Like My Chemical Romance, U2, and The Cure the newest album from each seems to be their worst. I'd like to see Coldplay in concert again when this album dies down.

Nov 1, 2011Just terrible. I loved the first two Coldplay albums and half of the third album. I honestly shake my head when I hear glowing reviews of this album. The lyrics are trite, the music is boring. The production is good, but with a multi-million dollar budget I could make just as good an album. And that's not bragging.
-
Nov 4, 2011I checked this out at the recommendation of a friend and I was really annoyed, they must hate me because every song seemed to grate on my nerves. What a huge disappointment from the world's biggest band.
-
Oct 25, 2011Insipid "music". This is far from being alternative rock, actually this is very mediocre pop. Rihanna? Seriously. They just can't get any lower than that. It'll definitely be their worst reviewed album and one of the worst of the year. Too bad. I wouldn't buy this if I were you.

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.
