WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Oh crystal ball, save us all

Posted over 3 years ago
Bought my tickets for Keane in Boston today! I'm excited... especially as Razorlight are opening! (See my previous post: http://mog.com/PlaysTheTart/blog_post/4908)I must admit that I never really got into Keane with "Hopes and Fears". I like "Somewhere Only We Know" and I fell in love with "Bedshaped" after seeing them perform the song at Live8 last year. But other than that, I think I wasn't at the point that I could or would appreciate them. But I picked up the new album in June and I was instantly hooked. I think this album feels a bit more rock 'n' roll to me, coupled with a few tracks that are a bit more ethereal (i.e. "Atlantic"). I also find this album quite topical as far as subject goes (see "Is It Any Wonder?", "A Bad Dream") which has perhaps piqued my interest further.Not sure what it is, but this album has been on heavy, heavy rotation for awhile. I can't wait to see them in concert!

  1. nicki says I haven't been able to get "Is It Any Wonder?" out of my head...of course, listening to BBC 6 doesn't help. I suspected that Under the Iron Sea would be more ruthless with the hooks.

  3. PlaysTheTart says Keep the faith, Tyler... they'll probably be back around to the States, if they don't go ahead and add more dates this time around :)
