Well Keane
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by Bollinger28

Advantages: Superb debut album - catchy tunes and moving lyrics
Disadvantages: Rather mournful in places

~~UPDATED FEBRUARY 2007~~ Despite all their recent fame and glory, there was no overnight success for Keane. Although they stormed into the charts with their debut album "Hopes & Fears" in 2004, they'd actually been around for nearly ten years beforehand, forming way back in 1995. They've been described by one source as "Radiohead covering Aha". Reassuringly, Keane claim their name has nothing to do with the former Manchester United midfielder; ... Read review

THE NEXT SIR ELTON?
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by Ryan74

Advantages: Polished, well-crafted
Disadvantages: Too polished, too well-crafted

The music press are always keen to suggest that the latest band to appear on their radar is the 'new' version of the last vaguely similar band that came along, thus Bloc Party become the 'new Franz Ferdinand', the Bravery (yukkk) become the 'new Killers' and this little mob from East Sussex, Keane, have the unfortunate tag of the 'new Coldplay', unfortunate given that they find themselves in the shadow of The World's Biggest Band (give or take U2 ...

So Keane for this album
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by Siobhany

Advantages: majority if the songs are really good
Disadvantages: a couple of weak songs

I first stumbled upon Keane when i was travelling back home from college on a coach of which radio 1 was on and they played 'Everybodys Changing'. The very melodic notes caught my ear as well as the wonderful verses of which i wanted to known more about the band and i did this by buying the album. My risky purchase was a successful purchase. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The band Keane first formed in 1997 although they released ... Read review

Cant stop now- im listening to Keane!
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by spoilt_little_br

Advantages: brilliant lyrics, Chaplin's vioce
Disadvantages: no extras

Who are Keane? This three piece from Battle are, Tom Chaplin on vocals, Tim Rice-Oxley on piano, keyboard and bass, and the gorgeous Richard Hughes on drums. The name “Keane” comes from Rice-Oxley’s nanny, Cherry Keane. Keane were brought to my attention as my partner told me about their stunning first chart success “Somewhere only we know”. Since then Keane have exploded onto the music scene with fans including, radio ones Jo Whiley and Jonathan ... Read review

Lost In The Sunshine
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by LostWitness

Advantages: Easy listening, great tunes, superb vocals
Disadvantages: I'm getting bored of this already

...for sheer, uncompromised musical pleasure, Hopes and Fears is a wonderful album. This is without a doubt my top summer recommendation. But don’t think that I’m going to write an entirely glowing review. Oh no. I do worry that the effect of Hopes and Fears won’t be a truly long-lasting one. Already, the Keane effect is starting to wear off on me. I think this is partly due to the fact that there is nothing striking or demanding ... Read review

DING DING ROUND ONE – HOPES & FEARS
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by pesky33

Advantages: great songs, great voice
Disadvantages: could get stale quickly?

I’ve had many musical discussions about who is better; Nirvana or Pearl Jam, Blur or Oasis, Suede or Strangelove, Hundred Reasons or LostProphets, Muse or JJ72... During our weekend away, our conversation turned into a discussion about whom everyone preferred; Keane or Snow Patrol. It seemed to me that if nine people at a barbecue could have a discussion about it for an hour or so, then it was likely to be something the rest of the country was discussing ... Read review

Life After Keane
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by waynehorrigan

Advantages: The return of pianos and reassuring lyrics
Disadvantages: None

...out in part two...... **************************************** PART ONE: HOPES AND FEARS **************************************** 1. Somewhere Only We Know "Is this the place we used to love?" asks the very emotional Tom on this first single release from Hopes And Fears. Throughout the piano chimes in perfect harmony to the uncomplicated rhythm. It's hard to resist his pleas: "why don't we go somewhere only we know" as the song fades out ... Read review

Bedshaped no1!!!!
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by PlaceboFan

Advantages: Good songs!
Disadvantages: Not many flaws at all!

Keane for me is a cross between Starsailor and maybe Travis. Set in a class of their own the band releases "Hopes and Fears", when this album came out I didn't actually know of them, I had heard a few of their songs due to release on single. But other than that I was at a loss. Track Listing 1. Somewhere Only We Know 2. Bend and Break 3. We Might As Well Be Strangers 4. Everybody's Changing 5. Your Eyes Open 6. She Has No Time 7. ...

Keane - Hopes And Fears
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by JezM

Advantages: Every track is great
Disadvantages: None

Keane are one of 2004’s biggest successes, shooting to fame in relatively short time, although they’ve been around for much longer (since 1997, to be precise). This, their debut album is, in my opinion, the best album of 2004 (perhaps only beaten by U2’s great album “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb”). Keane won best breakthrough act at the Brits25, as well as winning the British Album category with this album. This album was the second best selling ... Read review

Someone To Understand Your Hopes And Fears
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by WormThatTurned

Advantages: New/ Refreshing/ Mature/ Vocals
Disadvantages: none

Keane are a 3 piece band hailing from Battle, Sussex, home to the battlefield of 1066. Tom Chaplin (Vocals) Tim Rice Oxley (Piano/Keyboards/Bass/Writer) Richard Hughes (Drums) Keane are a band that have hit the headlines in recent times with two successful singles and a number one album. They might still be new to a lot of people but they have been around for some time, they started out as a four piece band called 'The Lotus Eaters' in 1997. ... Read review

Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by kappaslappa

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: None yet

I first heard of Keane last December when a friend of mine who works in the music business listening to unsigned bands told me to listen out for Keane and a song called "Somewhere only we know" as it would be a number one hit and their album would sell like hotcakes. "Somewhere only we know" was actually released in May 2003 but didn’t get into the charts and neither did "This is the last time" which was released in October 2003. It was Steve ... Read review

Full of hopes, no fears at all
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by werdnajas

Advantages: SUPERB vocals and piano
Disadvantages: Couple of weak songs

You know when you buy an album, you tend to maybe like around half of the songs a lot of the time, the others you do not listen to. If you liked their singles like "Somewhere Only We Know" and "Everybody's Changing" then you will love at least 8 of the 12, it's almost law. There are 12 songs on the album, which I will briefly describe: 1. Somewhere Only We Know: This is a piano BASHING song! Very rhythmic in style, and has a pretty upbeat melody. ... Read review

Beatiful Music
Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane by andywood

Advantages: New Style
Disadvantages: none

Keane who released the song Somewhere only we know earlier in the year, which went to number three in the charts, have created a unique album. It's unique due to the fact that it is very difficult to catergorise this. Some people would call it rock, but there is no guitar used, and you have to hear it to understand what I mean. This album has benn a top hit and number 1 in the albums charts for a while now. I'll go through the tracks and quote ... Read review
