Mylo Xyloto

Some time back, I mentioned that I bought 3 CDs for $49.90, one being Adele's 21, which I've talked about earlier, and another being Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto.


My favourite Coldplay album thus far (not that I have listened to that many) is Parachutes and my favourite song is "Trouble" from that album. But Mylo Xyloto is growing on me.

Mylo Xyloto is described as a concept album that follows a story.
"According to Chris Martin, the album is "based on a love story with a happy ending," in which two protagonists living in an oppressive, dystopian, urban environment, meet one another through a gang and fall in love." - from Wikipedia
One of my favourites is "Paradise" which kind of sticks in the head. Lyrics are repeated but I guess that's why. The MV is rather weird though. What's with the elephants? But it was shot in South Africa. Paradise?


Some other songs I like (besides "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall") are "Major Minus" and "Princess of China" (featuring Rihanna).

    1. I think Viva was the last one, so you're not too far back!
      I can lend you this if you're interested.
