Mylo Xyloto is the fifth album by English Alternative Rock band Coldplay, released in 2011.Musically, the album marks another large shift for the band, being heavily influenced by arena rock, electronic music and pop. Thematically, it is a Concept Album about a planet called Silencia, which is led by Major Minus, a totalitarian leader who has banned color and sound. It centers around two characters: Mylo, an enforcer of Major's regime, and Fly, the leader of the Sparker rebels. Both fall in love and join forces in order to defy the government.The album was a huge success for Coldplay, reaching #1 in multiple countries and selling eight million copies worldwide. Critical reception, however, was mixed, with some praising the shift in direction while others felt that it was too overproduced and mainstream-sounding, a sentiment some fans also shared. Songs like "Paradise", "Charlie Brown", "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" and "Princess of China" (featuring Rihanna) were big hits, helping propel the band's mainstream success in the 2010s.In 2013, a Mylo Xyloto Comic-Book Adaptation was released, with six issues being published by Bongo Comics. | |

Arc Symbol: Every single song on the tracklist has its own symbol◊, some of them obvious but others only understandable in context (e.g. the butterfly representing "Paradise" is mentioned in the lyrics). | |

Concept Album | |
| Mylo Xyloto (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: Mylo Xyloto has one hell of a story. It takes place in the Orwellian society of Silencia, run by Major Minus via media and propaganda. His goal is to strip the streets of sound and color to drive away creatures named feeders that use such energy to hunt. The two words in the album title are actually two names: Mylo is a silencer tasked in hunting down sparkers that create sparks with light and energy, and Xyloto is the sparker most wanted by Major Minus. Through Xyloto, Mylo discovers that he has sparker powers and is affiliated with the Car Kids, a sparker faction founded by his parents. | |

Sampling | |
| Mylo Xyloto (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" contains elements of Peter Allen's 1976 song "I Go to Rio". The outro of "U.F.O." and the opening of "Princess of China" are bridged by a sample of ambience from the Title Track of Sigur Rós' Takk..., which then runs through the background of "Princess of China". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Mylo Xyloto (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Us Against the World" references the gospel hymn "When the Saints Go Marching In". One of the elephants in the music video for "Paradise" resembles Snorky sans hat and vest. And of course there's "Charlie Brown". Although it the lyrics contains allusions to the character, the song itself never explicitly namedrops him, despite the fact he was mentioned in the lyrics at one point. | |

Surreal Music Video | |
| Mylo Xyloto (Music) / int_ecf2949f | comment |
Surreal Music Video: The video for "Paradise", which has Chris in an elephant suit escaping a zoo in London, trying to hitchhike his way to another country, stowing away inside a suitcase to South Africa, getting enough money to buy a unicycle, and finding the rest of Coldplay off the side of the road who are also wearing elephant suits. And then they all play together in elephant suits. After that, it cuts to footage of the band in an actual live concert playing while wearing the elephant heads and hands. | |
