I'm bleeding from my face because I don't think this album title is very good. - Page 12

Considering we all like to abbreviate LP2 and LP4, I like that idea! I can get by with that!

You're probably right. VLV kinda shows us the direction of the album. Mylo Xyloto is basically telling me that this album's gonna be all over the place and ridiculous and won't make any sense. Not that I know what kind of music will be in it. But that's the general idea I'm getting.

Cleggy · 12-08-2011, 07:24 PM

Yep, we should definitely call it MX. Unless we find out that Mylo Xyloto actually means something really cool. Probably not though. Maybe one of the reasons they chose a name like Mylo Xyloto is because it means absolutely nothing to everybody no matter what language you speak. It puts everybody on the same level. Don't really like the name though.

Given some of the lyrics of MTM (which, in spite of them, I love) and ETIAW (which I don't love), I could totally buy that. I'll stop there, though, before I get into a musical discussion in a thread solely about the title.

Yes, because having people all around the world go WTF at the album title instead of just in some countries is a good idea.

I agree, that's what the title suggests about the music.

But like Violet said I won't judge the music yet as we haven't heard it. . . but this album title really isn't giving me much hope.

ApproximatelyInfinite · 12-08-2011, 07:44 PM

I voted 4, because I think it could have been worse, but at the same time...REALLY, guys? Something that we can't pronounce easily, is hard to spell, and at present doesn't seem to mean anything? I mean, I think it must mean SOMETHING, but perhaps only to molecular biologists or something.

I actually disliked "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" more than I dislike "Mylo Xyloto" on first announcements, but it's like they intentionally made this one obnoxious or something. Plus, the abbreviation is "MX," which is so similar to "X&Y." I mean, "XY" is right smack in the middle of the album cover! I feel like (many) fans, critics, and the band alike have made it clear that's not their favorite album, so it's interesting that it's kind of coming back in weird-twin form, title-wise.

I kind of wish the title was just "MX" and that it stood as Roman numerals for a thousand and ten. What would that mean, I have no idea, but I find that cooler and more elegant, somehow.

Violet · 12-08-2011, 07:45 PM

^^ I just keep MTM in mind. That gives me hope enough that perhaps there will be some good to come out of it.

Megalomania · 12-08-2011, 07:46 PM

Yeah, I would have been super happy if the title was "MX". It's much more interesting and mysterious, but Mylo Xyloto? It's like a joke.

"Moving To Mars" is actually my least favorite of all the new tracks, I think

I think if they just called the album "MX," the whole world would be clamoring for an explanation of what it stood for, moreso than we are now for a meaning of the weird words. Somehow, abbreviations with no explanations are more infuriating to me, which is why I kind of liked the Roman numeral explanation

Violet · 12-08-2011, 07:53 PM

^ O RLY? Huh. Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

Empily · 12-08-2011, 08:05 PM

Just seems like someone smashed their head against a keyboard and that name came out

could have equally been called "prwnjekuufup"

Mylo Xyloto is alright, i think it's different, so that's cool. But i like that we can abbreviate it to MX.

MX has a certain mystery about it that seems very intriguing.

As for the artwork, i like the cover on the right much better than the cover on the left.
