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

I'm glad you don't like it, but if the argument is that "it doesn't make sense, and I don't like it because of that" then I want to try to refute that, because we're OBVIOUSLY not meant to understand it so it must be part of the band's writing process.

What was the point of talking about Sigur Rós' musical style, then? You were the one who brought them into the conversation, not me. Anyway, their album titles actually do make sense for the most part, because all but one of the albums are named after their songs. The only one that isn't is "()" (otherwise known as "the bracket album"), and you kinda can't name that one after a track on that album because they're all "Untitled #_" (OK, so they have alternate names, but still), and even so, it's better that they named it that because it reflects what the album entails. As Approx mentioned (if I may abbreviate your name like that), there are no lyrics at all, as it's sung entirely in Hopelandic. I think the album title reflects that perfectly.

Given that no one knows the intent behind Coldplay's naming process (especially since we have no official tracks to try to relate to it and even make a remote guess), you have as much of a clue about Coldplay's intent as we do, which is none. Don't try to act like you know more than everyone else when you don't.

( ) leaves you open to make up your mind about what you want the music to be.

Mylo Xyloto leaves you wondering what the hell they were on when they thought of it.

Happy?

I'm not sure if I agree completely with the first bit, but I agree for the most part.

That sounds a bit creepy, honestly. The kangaroo bit, I mean.

I'm not commenting on the similarities in their music styles at all, I'm saying you don't have to understand the words in songs/albums for it to be applicable to the theme/style you're trying to achieve on a cohesive and well-sequenced album.

And I'm really honestly not trying to say I know more, I'm just saying my point of view and what I think. I'm sorry if you think it's wrong, but please don't attack me and say "you think you know more." because I really don't and I'm not trying to come off like that. I'm trying my best to be genuine and I'm not saying you're wrong and that I'm right.

If this thread is about the album cover being a separate entity, it shouldn't be treated like that until we know for sure it fits the character of the album. NOW I'M NOT SAYING I KNOW THE CHARACTER OF THE ALBUM!!!! I'm just saying we don't know yet, and therefore the album shouldn't be judge because it might ruin our experience listening to the album.

[Violet]

Yeah, but Sigur Rós is completely different, considering they speak a completely differnet language from most of the world. Coldplay are from an English-speaking country and used an album title that has no meaning in any language, as far as anyone can tell. We may realize it has some sort of application later, but you can't possibly say that now without knowing a track listing or anything.

Tell me where I said I know more than you. Tell me where. See, that's when people really start to rub me the wrong way, is when they try to twist my words into something completely different from the original context. Anyway, you were the one who said who used the term "OBVIOUSLY not" in your previous post, so you were the one who implied certainty in your opinion, so that's why I responded the way I did.

"...because it might ruin our experience listening to the album." Seriously? If you're going to let an opinion-based thread on the title affect your opinion of how an album sounds, you have issues. Any person in their right mind wouldn't let that bother them.

[Skin&Bones]

Let me dissect our posts just so you know what I'm understanding because you obviously are misunderstanding me.

You said "Given that no one knows the intent behind Coldplay's naming process (especially since we have no official tracks to try to relate to it and even make a remote guess), you have as much of a clue about Coldplay's intent as we do, which is none. Don't try to act like you know more than everyone else when you don't." When you said, "Don't try to act like you know more than everyone else when you don't." I responded in my next post by saying, "but please don't attack me and say "you think you know more."<--- this part seemed to confuse you. I'm NOT --I repeat NOT--saying you (violetsparks) know more than I do, I'm saying you think I know more than you, which is why I said "because I really don't and I'm not trying to come off like that. I'm trying my best to be genuine and I'm NOT saying you're wrong and that I'm right."

You are obviously never going to be able to understand what I'm trying to get across when you think I'm attacking you every post, so I don't know what to do at this point. I'm not twisting what you say and I never have. Jesus Christ.

[Skin&Bones]

I don't even know why I posted that because you're going to twist it again.

hi

[Skin&Bones]

I hope you've noticed how out of hand this has gotten...

[NumbersGirl]

well ya I'm hoping a brief hello would help calm things down a little
not that this is anything like when ETIAW was released, but it's nice if it doesn't get anywhere near that






and just to reiterate since it seems as though it needs to be posted on every page... this discussion should be about the title; we're not judging the music here

title only
only about the title
rate the title not the music

I think you forgot to mention the title

[Skin&Bones]

Let me restart then:

I like the title alot!! Now (completely disregarding the music because we haven't heard the album yet and have no basis to prove anything off of) it doesn't make sense, but it's new, and it's interesting sounding. It sounds good to me even though it's completely random. I think that even though it's completely random and doesn't make sense, it still might suit the theme of the album. Even though we might not be able to understand what 'Mylo Xyloto' means, it doesn't mean that it is an irrelevant title. It might (might) contribute to the character of the album! Maybe someday Chris or the band will explain why they named it Mylo Xyloto.

Again, what I just said is not fact, it's my opinion. If you would like to rationally argue and prove this wrong, that is perfectly fair and nothing will get out of hand. Thanks!

I think I agree with this.

[Ms Magpie]

I was just thinking... if you write 'mylo' with 'i' instead of 'y' (supposing the word's in a Slavic language but with a typo), then it means 'soap'. Surely they'd not name the album 'Soap'?

ETA: not joking. check a dictionary or google translate. -_-
