I agree too! I really am digging this song. It's my fav off the album. I look forward to seeing it live next month.

Listened to the album this morning after giving it a break for a couple of weeks. I still think it sounds fantastic and that they did a good job with it.

I, too, gave it a break as I found myself getting sick of it quite quickly - not a good sign - but luckily the album has held up very well, in fact, I'm probably enjoying it more the second time around

Does anyone else think that Lost! might be the result of the hyped contribution Timbaland was supposed to have towards the album?

I wouldn't be surprised. He is world famous for his ability to write a cracking tune.

I heard a clip of it on CNN and thought it was u2.

It's almost perfect, but it's tainted by that dreadful big fish/little pond lyric.

I just purchased Viva La Vida... and am listening it to the first time. I have to admit my concerns about this album have been put to rest. So far it is much better than X&Y. I however will not dish out the mula to see them on this tour. The tickets are too expensive but I am ok with missing them on this tour. I have had the pleasure of seeing them many of times.

HolyMeximofoJoe · 07-12-2008, 02:54 AM

I love this album... at first I didn't really like COL or Lost! and thought it a 7/10 album now It's a 9/10 for me, haven't gone a day without listening to it all for about a week, and Lost is one of my favorites.... Lovers in Japan is maybe my favorite Coldplay song ever

Best album of the year so far for me

Also I never understood all the hate for X & Y but I cant ever listen to it front to back like their other 3 albums and Swallowed in the Sea had me laughing after finally listening to the damn thing

i put it in the player in my car
after about a song and a half

I took it out and
put the modest mouse cd back in

Since the other thread was locked I just wanted to say this one thing. Just saw that video of them from the Daily Show and wow, those clothes they're wearing look nothing like the Zooropa uniforms! What the hell, man! Give them some credit. And that version of Lost! was as beautiful as the one on the album!

Nah, you can totally feel the Markus Dravs/Arcade Fire feel with the percussion and organs on that track, not so much Timbaland.

If CMart could sing live, I would agree. He has more shake in his voice than Stevie Nicks after 5 hours of standing out in the snow.

Plus, this is the most uncool thing I've ever seen, arguably.
