Aw seems not that many people are all that happy with Lost+. So what do you think of it?
Good?
Bad?
No different than the original?

I honestly didn't like it when I first heard it, but when I picked up Jay-Z's lyrics, I thought it was alright. I definitely wish they made more edits to the song.
Also, it sucks that Jay-Z is their sole guest on the EP. Random, in my opinion.

It's OK but I love the original version so much and am generally not a big fan of remixes anyway...

Better than the original, but would've been even better to have Jay-Z throw in another verse toward the beginning.

Dunno...:\ I'm not a Jay-Z fan but if Coldplay worked with him there must be a good reason... right??
Lost! is an AWESOME song but I think I'll need to get used to Lost+ and maybe later I'll get to like it as much as the original... who knows?:thinking:

They release the EP tommorow. Lost+ is ok. I sort of get used to it. Perhaps it will grow on me immensely...

Now I've heard a good quality version I like it much better. It's a strange, risky move, but I think it worked out pretty nice.

Jay Z version. You're thinking of Lost?

This version has grown on me a lot. I think Jay adds something good to it. Kinda adds to the hip hop feel.
naaaaaaah !
though i'm very open to many things but this sounds like two musicians being bored and drunk...sorry but i think its even worse than that kanye west project...erm, how was it called? :thinking:
no, i'm leaving coldplay because they no longer touch my soul but try to touch my wallet...

I don't get it; I didn't really like the idea of this in the first place, but now that I've heard it, it's not much different from the original song. It just has a rap thrown in near the end of it. I voted bad. Not that it's a bad remix, but it's not anything special at all.

Same. Jay-Z can throw down. He just did not do so in this song. =pp
Which is very disappointing because he has made some magic.. I mean the 'Numb' Encore with Linkin Park? That was art. I was expecting so much.. not cool. :\

Firstly I thought - what´s this? Is Coldplay going crazy? (more crazy like now :D) ...!
A remix with Jay-Z? But now, when I have the Prospekt´s March EP in the hand and can play up the song on my 5.1 Dolby-System, I think: WOW! What a song!!
But currently I can not be a friend of the rap-part of Jay-Z but the beat and the sound is great! And I think - when someone give me time - I will also love the song :P
Thanks for this! :)

I agree. I love the song but Jay-Z's rap blows. It sounds like he did not put much effort into his rap.

I'm with you guys; I was open to this and thought it could've turned out great but Jay-Z's part just didn't do much for me. I'm not familiar with Jay-Z's other material, though.
And Chris loves it! I wonder if he's A. more perceptive than me or B. just ecstatic that he got Jay-Z to star in a song.

To me it sounds like Coldplay is trying to impress another group of listeners. And I think its really not worth it, cause I think having Jay Z on it just makes it sink to another level.
The acoustic version of Lost is so much better.

I know this might seem radom...or stupid BUT.... is this the first time they have ever had cussing in a song?
i'll be skipping that one when i listen to Prospekts March. Lost is a fine song...and I understand that they're all friends...but when JAY Z starts with his miggity miggity mack, it makes me want to gurge.

i hate itttt
it really ruins the song
and i hate rap...!
it just doesnt sound like it fits in to me

i am not a fan of rap or jay-z at all. when i first heard this song i hated it so much, now i've listened to it so much i don't mind it. i like it more every time but i think i've levelled off to 'it's okay...'
my ipod's currently broken so i find myself lugging around a discman and as many coldplay cds as i can safely transport... been listening to prospekt's march a LOT lately and i really enjoy the original lost! so it always makes me happy when it comes on... irks me a bit at the rap but i'm starting to enjoy it
i mean, coldplay has done way too much good work to criticise them extensively for this one little slip--if you could call it a slip because it's still enjoyable music to some and i think making music people enjoy should be the goal-- and who knows, it could introduce some jay-z fans to coldplay and give them that nice experience :P as well as the other way around for coldplay fans who don't know much of jay-z but enjoyed his rap.
in short, i think it really helps that lost+ is not the only version of this song-- the fact that it was a remix and i can listen to lost! without the rap whenever i want to helps. lol perhaps the comparison made me not like it, but i think knowing it was a good song in the first place helped me warm up to this version
also, lost? kicks serious butt, so if lost+ was the only version there'd be another loss :P

First of all, I am a major fan of Jay-Z! He is arguably my favorite rapper. He has transcended the genre, and has been an icon in my humble opinion. If you heard Kingdom Come from Jay-Z, the last song "Beach Chair" with Chris was spectacular! Having Jay-Z return the favor for Lost+ is yet another high-quality collaboration! I love the song!

While I hate rap, dislike Jay-Z and much prefer the album versions, I must admit I do like the lyrics he says in Lost+.

I love it and if you guys really foucused on the true intention and meaning of the song then you'd love it to.
Sucess is like suicide look at what its doing to Chris and Gwen... the media they suck
and Martin Luther King and malcom and Jesus well they might have felt as if they were loosing but we can all attest with the fact that in the end they haven't LOST

I can't honestly say I enjoy this version of the song. Besides, there wasn't even any effort put into it. It seriously sounds like they just dubbed the rapping over and the first time I heard it, I had to make sure that another radio wasn't on somewhere LOL.

Favourite of all time, if you're a true Coldplay fan I don't think thats possible but that's my opinion.
I think that Lost? is the best version, then i heard they would change the song for the album, i didn't really like that song very much, and now Jay-Z even made it worse...
