I liked their first album, but I haven't bought any of their records since. "Everybody's changing" is still their best song I think!

Less and less over the years. I really liked Hopes And Fears and played it lots when it came out. Under The Iron Sea was a much more mixed effort, but a good album anyway. Perfect Symmetry -- not so much, despite a couple of good tracks. I missed the mini-album and Strangeland sounds like a total bore -- a very good impression of their first album but nothing new and interesting going on there. As far as I'm concerned, they have lost it.

Loved their first album but everything since has been patchy. Haven't bought their new album yet but probably will at some point. Difficult to pick a favourite song but I particularly love We Might As Well Be Strangers from Hopes And Fears.

I have bought all of their albums, Hope and Fears is above and beyond everything else.
Bedshaped is my favourite song.

I enjoy one or two singles but their latest stuff is Bland Central. The lyrics do nothing for me and the production and music is like mid 90s Radio 2 fodder. I think hype and goodwill have taken them a long way.

Same as everybody else. Hopes And Fears was great, since then its been downhill. Favourites are Everybody's Changing and This Is The Last Time.

I just saw Keane live at Bumbershoot music festival in Seattle (they were pretty good, I have to say) and spoke to Tim Rice-oxley after the gig, I couldn't help asking him if he'd heard the new PSB album to which he said not yet and asked me if it was any good. I said it was pretty good of course and he told me he's looking forward to giving it a listen. Funny. He's a nice guy actually.
Also saw Gotye (ok), Awolnation (average) and M83 (pretty good) amongst others. Nice festival just next to the Space needle. Had fun.
