I've noticed that in the past year or so, Keane's popularity has risen immensely. Both me and my friend were surprised to see a song of theirs on Glee, and hear their songs as the music for a few movie trailers.
Anyone here listen to Keane, and if so, what do you think of their rise in popularity.
I love Keane! What's wrong with everyone here? PLUS they come from a small village called Battle in the South East of England, which is literally down the road from me, which is pretty awesome.
Their first album "Hopes and Fears" was great, probably because it was so different at the time, not the usual pop rubbish. I still listen to it now.
"Under the Iron Sea" was completely different and really I couldn't get into it. There were a few tracks I liked but it was so different to the style I'd come to love that I didn't pay it that much attention.
"Perfect Symmetry" was a much better album in terms of being able to listen to it... but I fear they have descended into the realm of typical pop. The songs are all pretty catchy and have that sort of broad appeal that the previous two albums did not. Perhaps their rising popularity is in the death of originality?
