I bought Night Train, Keane's new album. They're a band who don't like retreading old ground, so they were bound to lose their footing eventually. Only half of the 7-1/2 songs sound like Keane. The rest sound like the deformed hybrid of Muse, Coldplay and some rapper who sounds like a side dish for curry. This album was made to please everyone except their fans. Tom Chaplin struggled with depression and drugs, so now their only way to claw back into public view was to make some generic-o-rama. I just hope they can get back to their old, guitar-free ways next time.
Nice artwork though.
