The James Logan Courier

By Jonatan Garibay, Courier Correspondent

Well overall the album , in my opinion, is the worst of Coldplay’s 5 full length albums. I’m not necessarily saying that it’s bad, but it definitely didn’t live up to it’s predecessors nor to the hype it generated.

For further explanation into my reasoning for this opinion, the songs need to be broken down into their individual components.

1. “Mylo Xyloto”
What can I say about this song? It’s just a cute little introduction to the album and to the next song.

Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten (January 5, 1895 - June 29, 1987) was an American musician. Her style was traditional blues and folk, but was original since she was self-taught, and had no knowledge of traditional guitar tunings (eg. standard 'EADGBE' tuning or any standard, established open tunings).

Cotten was born in Carrboro, North Carolina to a musical family; her parents were George Nevills and Louise Price Nevills. Elizabeth was the youngest of five children. She began writing music while toying around with her older siblings instruments, sometimes having to sneak into her older brother's room to lay the hidden guitar across her lap and play. After more tinkering with these instruments she began playing the guitar upside down, since she was left-handed. This position required her to play the bass lines with her fingers, and the melody with her thumb. Her signature, alternating bass style is known as "cotton picking".
