Coldplay: Mylo Xyloto

The London-based alternative rock band Coldplay of Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion released the fifth studio album "Mylo Xyloto" on 24th October 2011. The album release preceded releasing of singles: "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall", "Paradise" and "Princess of China" featuring Rihanna. Coldplay confirmed they are the biggest band in the 21st century.

There is everything colourful on "Mylo Xyloto" - album cover, music video for "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" and sound. Martin's piano lines combine sparkling guitar motifs and simple direct beats. The choruses are bigger, the optimism more optimistic and textures grander on Coldplay's new album "Mylo Xyloto".

Lyrically, the album is inspired by "the anti-Nazi pacifist White Rose Movement" and "old school American graffiti". "Mylo Xyloto" is a concept album based on a love story with a happy ending. Coldplay have stated that they wanted to make their fifth studio album to be more acouistic and more intimate than the previous album "Viva la Vida".

The song "Paradise" didn't bring anything new it’s just another Viva la Vida's title-track or "Fix You"in contrast to new concept "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall". Coldplay should be less pop and more alternative rock.
