Artist: Coldplay
Album: Mylo Xyloto
Year: 2011
Genre: Electronic/alternative rock

Once again I prove that I am, indeed, the Musical Slowpoke (I have not played Pokemon, but that kind of proves my point). In 2011, an album called Mylo Xyloto was released by the English alternative group named Coldplay. That was just around the time I got into them, yet I refused to listen to the then-recently released album, because its singles got overplayed everywhere. That was totally ignoring the fact that Coldplay, in general, is the most overrated band ever. Today, about two and a half years late, I sat down and listened to it, and here I will briefly give you my opinion on the album:

• It was pretty bad
• I will not listen to it again in the near future
• Basically it was Coldplay trying to play electronic music, which would have been laughable if it wasn't a serious attempt
• If they hadn't tried that hard, they wouldn't have failed that hard
• What I'm left with is a melted brain because of the obnoxious synthesizers, and "Charlie Brown" stuck in my head
• "Paradise" sucks and "Princess of China" sucks even harder
• Viva la Vida is superior, and that album is only half good

Yet I'm excited for the upcoming album, Ghost Stories, which is said to be released the 16th of May (one day before the Norwegian Constitution Day). Based on the singles, the band is ditcing the whole electro-rock thing and going for a more ambient sound. Let's see how they manage to pull that off...
