Not my scene, to me it's Coldplay minus everything save the piano. I'm big on Coldplay to begin with so a half-ass knock-off doesn't go far in impressing me.

I think they're the band everyone loves to hate (well, they are here) at the moment cos they're posh, inoffensive and radio friendly, so they attract all the middle-aged people who drive around in Ford Mondeos and don't really listen to music. But with that said, I think they're clearly better than most of the shite that's in the charts - they've had some decent singles, Bedshaped in particular.

Not a fan of their new cd. Really like Hopes and Fears. Under The Iron Sea is friggin incredible.

I'm sorry, did I hear a comparison b/w Keane and the Beatles?

 

Shock.

Is it any wonder is a fan favourite to me and most of my friends. I think I have it on most of my mixed playlists too. Emily and a few other tracks arn't half bad either but I would have to say Keane is a good, not great band.

I don't think any of those ring especially true to the Beatles, except that while they are listened to by people who aren't really interested in music, that's bound to happen when you're as big and successful as The Beatles were. They're listened to by music fans and non-music fans alike.

 

Anyway, I myself think the snobbery is undeserved.

 

I don't care if that's incoherent, it's nearly 3AM and I stopped being able to explain thins a good hour ago.

The Beatles suck ;)

 

Overrated.

I've heard a couple of songs from the new album and I don't like them... they sound pretty much the same as always...

The Beatles suck ;)

They're no Keane, that's for sure.

I like Keane a lot. I saw them here in Vancouver last year and they were really fantastic live. Tim the singer has got a pretty good voice and he pulls it off live. OBViously they aren't The Beatles, but they're still pretty good. As for their latest album.....not too impressed. I like their 1st two quite a bit though.

[Gomo]

I like Keane's first album, but their 2nd one is just kind of...meh. I'm not interested enough in the third.
