180g Vinyl packaged in a Special Gatefold Die-Cut Jacket with 12" x 36" Full-Color Graffiti Poster! Features the smash single "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall".
Coldplay's fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto (pronounced my-lo zy-letoe) was produced by Markus Dravs, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson with Enoxification and additional composition by Brian Eno. The album is the follow-up to the multi-platinum selling Viva La Vida, which charted at No. 1 in 36 countries, including the U.S. and the U.K. The band has sold more than 50 million records worldwide and won numerous awards including seven Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards.
"Coldplay finally surrender to their essential good nature on Mylo Xyloto, their fifth album and first to ditch all pretense of brooding melancholia. Which isnt to say the band doesnt drift along on some pleasingly spacy atmospheres conjured by longtime producer Brian Eno: theres still a veneer of classy disaffection that inevitably dissipates due to the relentless sunniness of Chris Martin and company. Eno's echoes and ambience -- the only things that still mark Coldplay as anything resembling progressive -- positively sparkle when they meet the bands bright, chipper melodies, yet Coldplay's innate good manners restrain the album, keeping it just this side of a rush of candied pop. Such politeness can verge on the dull -- criminally so when they bring Rihanna in for Princess of China, a duet so toothless she may as well have stayed home -- but Mylo Xyloto has a leg up on other Coldplay records for this simple reason: theyre no longer attempting to mimic U2's portentous piety. Theyve embraced their schoolboy selves and are simply singing songs of love and good cheer, albeit on a grand scale that somehow seems smaller due to the groups insuppressible niceness." - www.allmusic.com
