New Coldplay - "Mylo Xyloto", Oct 24

[iron yuppie]

...none of the mind-numbing obviousness of Waterfall's lyrics...

Yellow is hardly Dylan-esque, I think you'll agree.

I haven't heard Mylo yet, but I am sure that it will be a fun listen nonetheless. It has a lot of floundering to do if it is going to live up to the fetid reputation it has here already.

Cos yeah everybody here's got somebody to lean on

 

[cobl04]

Fetid. Right click save

As far as Every Teardrop's lyrics...

It's not blatantly obvious as to what he's saying. So... I like the music. But unlike Hurts Like Heaven, I'm not cringing because I'm not really trying to listen to what he's saying. But really... just in terms of cliches/puns/metaphors/whatever you'd like to call them... I'd take "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" over "Hurts like Heaven". Hurts like Heaven... hurts to hear that title.

Ha I promoted this album on my fb and someone commented "gay as aids m8"

Well, no. I wouldn't expect that from Martin. But there's not a single line in Yellow that makes me nauseous. In fact, it's very direct and effective. Waterfall tries to summarize everything that's good and wonderful in the world in a few minutes and explodes with cheese. Like Ricky Fitts, I can't take all that beauty.

Just picked up a copy of Mylo Xyloto from me local, keen to slam the disc into the nearest CD player and give it a whirl. Pumped!

 

[Jive Turkey]

What an interesting string of sentences

 

[lazarus]

I guess my two posts above got someone a little too excited.

[PhilsFan]

If someone asked me to pronounce this out loud without much thought, I think it would sound like "Milo Slighto."

According to Wikipedia:

Mylo Xyloto (pronounced /ˈmaɪloʊ ˈzaɪlətoʊ/) is the upcoming fifth studio album by English alternative rock band Coldplay, set for release on 24 October 2011

"The New Coldplay Album."

My favorite is still Milo ZylOtis

 

[LemonMelon]

Viva La Ricky Martin/Viva La Vida Loca > all Mylo Xyloto parodies.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I goes with my-low zy-low-to.

I also go with worst album name ever.

 

[cobl04]

Otis

I invented swag
Popping bottles puttin supermodels in the cab

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I goes with my-low zy-low-to.

I also go with worst album name ever.

Yes.

No.

 

[intedomine]

Dunno about the worst album name ever. Better than any album that is self-titled.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

There are several genres to redirect to for even non self-titled albums... where the names are just horrendous.

 

[bono_212]

I pronounce it my-low zy-low-toe fwiw

 

[cobl04]

:cornflakes: you can bag Martin all you want, but this was pretty fucking cool

Yeah I thought it was pretty obvious, Mylo Xyloto like Hello Moto.

But then again, posting on the internet and reading things in your head often leads to assumptions of pronunciation that can be wrong.

So many times with hockey players where I'd learn so much about them... I'd goof up there name and when I hear them playing I'd be like... he's saying it wrong! Frolik, Dadonov, etc. etc., Gudbranson, basically all your typical Florida Panthers prospects back in the day
