    4 Stars MY LOXY LOTO Review with images 09/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well balanced tracks, catchy rhythm and oozing vocals

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Major Minus

    The other day while driving to work I heard an interview with a band on my favourite radio. I didn’t know who they are as I haven’t heard them from the very beginning but they were very cool guys. As the interview went on, it became obvious… You got it, they were the Coldplay. The band Coldplay is a British alternative rock band. Although the lead guitarist and vocalist have started a band earlier, the current formation of Coldplay dates back to 1998. So the members are: Chris Martin – lead vocalist Jonny Buckland – lead guitarist Guy Berryman – bassist Will Champion – drummer, backing ... more

    4 Stars Every Tear, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 07/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A decent concept album with some excellent tracks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The track order felt a little off and Martin's vocals were too stretched at times

    Ever since their debut album back in 2000, Coldplay have gone from strength to strength increasing their profile all the time. Once dubbed the new Radiohead they have really developed their own musical style and sound. They are now one of the biggest bands in the Country and 2011 saw the release of their 5th studio album. With each album the band have developed and adapted their sound to try new things and so far this has been an approach that has really worked for them. In the beginning it took me a while to get into Coldplay but now I actually really like them and so was quite keen to get my ... more

    3 Stars My-low Zy-letoe - Interesting! 08/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Different side to Coldplay, nice concept, great vocals and atmospheric tracks.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only a few 'great' songs, a bit to much of the electronics and slightly boring.

    *** Mylo Xyloto *** This is the 5th Studio Album from Coldplay and just like the rest it went straight to number 1 in the album charts. (Only the 3rd ever group to do this after The Beatles and Oasis.) Coldplay went down a slightly different route with the album and created an entire concept that the album is based on, rather than each song being a story in its own right. The whole concept of this album is about a love story with a happy ending. The two main characters in this ‘story’ are Mylo and Xyloto. (Hence the name of the album.) They live in an oppressed urban society. Surrounded by ... more

    5 Stars They just don't make bad music 21/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No poor or average songs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Coldplay have been around for sometime now so they have built a vast amount of fans. This means even if I reviewed this album was poorly, most hardcore fans would still go out and buy it. Anyway, I'll tell you what I think... SUPERB The Title 'Mylo Xyloto' (pronounced "my-low-zy-ly-o-tow") is as peculiar as the band's other 4 album titles but the contents is as strong as them too. There are 14 tracks in total including the singles 'Every Tear Drop Is A Waterfall' and 'Paradise'. Prior to this album, my personal favourite was X&Y as this was the first album I actually bought of theirs before ... more
