During this blog, I will be talking about Coldplay's album review of Mylo Xyloto interpreting the text put forth in this review...

During the review the writer talks of how of Coldplay's new album is, "A very pop album. A very, very pop album." The writer describes the hits on Coldplay's new album, "Played to death."

Most of the review talks about how this is just another album that had been expected to be produced for the pop scene. The writer talks as if its a well made album with full of different sounds that are all incorporated together cohesively. "Once you get over the initial pop shock, the album is great."


For the audience, the writer's word usage conveys a simple thought that this album isn't very good. At the same time though, the writer talks of this album as a love-hate relationship stating that even though this might a drawn out cliche album; at the same time, the dynamics of each hit song is great. The writer wants the listeners of Mylo Xyloto to understand what music is really about and know that this album was merely created as an "extra" album. "This album is certainly more glitz and glamor than they have ever previously showcased, and that is not a bad thing with the current declining quality of pop music." This quotation is trying to get across one simple thought, that this is just ANOTHER album from Coldplay. Possibly implying that Coldplay is just after fame and money with their new album being distributed to the public; nothing new.
