What do you guys think of Keane?

I never really listened to them before, but I heard "Is it any wonder" and I really liked it, and then a friend had "Nothing in My Way" on his iPod and I loved that track, so I had to buy the album. Its really good, with top-notch studio production and amazing vocals. Not a lot of filler tracks either--in fact the first 5 tracks alone are better than most albums I've heard this year. And I find myself listening to the album in its entirety every time I play it, without skipping tracks.

I know they won't be everyone's cup of tea, since they sound A LOT like Coldplay (and to a lesser extent like U2 and Oasis). But they definately have a unique sound--heavy on the piano and bass. And the vocals make all the difference (Tom Chaplin sounds a lot better than Bono or Chris Martin IMHO).

First album is better. Also look for their single, "Walnut Tree"

:thumbsup: But I do like the first album better too.

Hmm, sounds like I may have to sample "Hopes and Fears" on iTunes.

Walnut Tree is an awesome song. It's available off The OC mixes.

"Hopes and Fears" is a fantastic album. I haven't heard the entire new album yet, jus that one single.
