A disappointment I've worn thru my copies of both "Hopes & Fears" as well as "Under the Iron Sea" - but only listened to this one twice before putting it aside. I've been a hige Keane fan for years, and I'm sorry to say I realy don't like this album at all.
It's just a totally different Keane. The powerful vocals are missing. The piano is missing. And it's all replaced with a techno-like beat that reminds me of the 80s.
I do like this type of music, too - but it wasn't what I was expecting from this trio. A real disappointment.
A Great Album!
I love this album! It's a bit different, but it's still definitely Keane, and it's good.
I love how they dabble with the music/the nastalgia
We loved Keane because they reminded us of how we enjoyed something nostalgic and unexplainable about the '70's, . . now. . . they've moved on to the early '80's.
Yes, this is close to 2010, however, they have a very unique way of modernizing musical nostalgia. Once again, they've proved they can do it in another era. . . and yes, all their songs seem so new and original, yet somehow, it makes you think of days gone past that were enjoyable and fun, yet filled with the ups and downs and the drama of a life lived in full.
. . . all that said? I miss the genre they seemed to possess in their first two albums like crazy. Definitely worth revisiting, if possible.
Keane
I love my wife. My wife wanted it. I got it for her. She loves it.
Keane has done it again
It is really genius, if you are a Keane fan you will like this album. This is the band's third album and it is great! They took a new path with using guitars and also various other instruments. I suggest the Deluxe Edition for the full Keane experience. There are several fabulous videos you can't miss out on on this version. .
