The First Trilogy:
The Second Trilogy: I always wondered what the two trilogies should be called because there's something that intrigued me. I always noticed a recurring theme and style, in their albums and single covers.
Parachutes: Pictures of Earth (The Globe) and natures (Shiver being trees branches, Trouble being water, Don't Panic and Yellow being flowers) AROBTTH: The 3D Scanned Heads X&Y: Colorful Baulot Codes
It got me thinking to call the second trilogy "The Art Trilogy" as art was a recurring theme here.
VLVODAAHF: Paintings Mylo Xyloto: Graffiti Ghost Stories: Complex Etchings
I don't know what to call the first trilogy though, but I know there's something I missed.
So, I want to know that you guys think the two trilogies should be called? I'm interested on your opinions on it.

You have created an interesting thread here... To be honest with you I do view the first three albums as a trilogy as they are so simialr in tone, theme, and stlye but these last three albums (including what we have heard so far from GS) I tend to view as completely seperate eras. They just seem so different to me that I have a hard time calling them a trilogy just because they came three in a row. This is of course just my opinion.

It's an interesting thread.
The first three definitely had a feeling of a trilogy.. but I have no idea what..
I hadn't even considered the last three as a trilogy. But there IS an art theme you are right. But I don't think there is a central theme with these. Viva had it's own feel and story. Continued somewhat with Prospects March. Then MX is again a standalone story. I am hoping Ghost Stories will also be a story of sorts, but maybe not as strong a story as MX was. I like to feel there is a bit of mystery about the songs.
