New Coldplay - "Mylo Xyloto", Oct 24

[cobl04]

Coldplay: News - New album, Mylo Xyloto, out on October 24

 

[cobl04]

Cannot wait. 2011's looking like it'll go down as a pretty swell year in music, just when I was thinking 2010 had it covered by miles.

 

[u2popmofo]

You can edit the title, Cobbler.

 

[cobl04]

Bit worried by x and y being paired together again though, that didn't work out so well last time...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Sounds cool. I'm intrigued.

the odd name and cover design (while cool looking) both remind me of X&Y as well

I have no idea what the title means, but I'm quite excited for the album. Between this, Neon Indian, Wilco, M83, and Bjork, it should be a very good fall for music.

Oh, and I'm loving the album cover:

 

[cobl04]

All I keep seeing is "Myxomatosis"

 

[bono_212]

Maalox?

 

[u2popmofo]

You still haven't fixed the title, Cobbler.

 

[mikal]

wow, i really hope they sound like U2 on this album.

 

[cobl04]

I think it's too late now and I'm on my phone, can't figure it out.

Every Waterfall Cries Rainbows is on the album, for those who didn't click the link. Next single is Paradise, out Sept 12

[powerhour24]

I'm disappointed that Waterfalls is an indication of what's to come.

 

[LemonMelon]

Glitterfy is not the direction I wanted to see them take.

Not looking forward to discovering that Chrissy's Paradise is a nice bubble bath with fudge sundaes and When Harry Met Sally on a permanent loop.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm looking forward to hearing this. The only new track I've heard is Every Teardrop etc, and while I didn't think much of it at first, I like it now.

Their only album I haven't really liked so far is X&Y, so I have high hopes for this one.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, I don't mind the Waterfall song now either. Don't love it, but it's a decent enough pop single.

 

[iron yuppie]

Do we have a tracklisting yet? I really liked Major Minus - here's hoping they explore that path on the album.

Its in the link Cobbler posted

Eta: no its not I could have sworn I saw it

 

[iron yuppie]

Strange, I don't see it anywhere in that link - could someone perhaps post it for me?

 

[u2popmofo]

Elfa, you drunken bastard.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Yeah I edited my post after I went back and looked again. Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Aiiiiiiiight!

I'm with yuppie, I'd like to see a tracklist for this.

 

[nirniva]

Coldplaying has a pretty extensive interview with Chris Martin from Billboard:
Coldplay feature in Billboard magazine (including Chris Martin Q&A interview) :: COLDPLAY :: COLDPLAYING.COM
No tracklist yet (at the moment, they've got 3 or 4 possible tracklists under consideration), but it sounds like Major Minus has a pretty good shot of making the album.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Just skimmed that interview, but looks like he said the album will have 13 tracks.

 

[phanan]

I like the cover.

Just like X&Y

 

[bono_212]

Love the cover, hate the name, am REALLY concerned by the font that the name is written in in that little note on the website that Chris Martin wrote. What is this? 1993? I had a shirt with words in that font when I was 5. I love everything else they've done with the graffiti and everything, but I really hope that the liner notes aren't written in a similar font /petty

 

[AnCatKatie]

I'm excited. I just hope the songs are better than ETIAW. I don't mind that song now but it kind of sucks in comparison to a lot of Coldplay's other songs.

Hey, this is coming out before the AB remaster...

 

[bono_212]

The only reason I don't mind ETIAW now is simply by force of having to hear it on the radio 70 times per day. I don't ever stop on it, really, but I get enough five second helpings of it that I hear it at least once a day.
