New Coldplay: Paradise

Chris Martin and company recently released the second single off their upcoming album "Mylo Xyloto" which will officially hit stores on October 24th. After hearing three songs that have made the track list for "Mylo Xyloto" I think the album easily has the potential to be the band's best to date. While I enjoy listening to all of Coldplay's previous records, it seems to me that  the songs on each recording tend to sound a little too similar to each other. This is the case especially on their first two studio albums. This new album will hopefully have a nice blend of slower more dispiriting songs along with the upbeat type that dominated the track list of "Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends". Their first  "Mylo Xyloto" single "Every teardrop is a Waterfall" sounds nothing like "Paradise" and "Major Minus" has a different sound than either of the official singles, so it looks like this album will include some variety. This will be a breath of fresh air from what they have done previously. I know from personal experience that it's hard to get through the whole "X & Y" album if you are driving the interstate on a dreary day in March. The album is just too depressing. "Mylo Xyloto" should be an album that breaks the monotony with a few cheerful tracks spread throughout. At this point, this is all  speculation though, so we will just have to wait for the release at the end of October and hear what they have created.
