Product Description
From Amazon.com
At its best, Hopes and Fears is reminiscent of Bends-era Radiohead and singer Tom Chaplin's voice is closer to Thom Yorke's falsetto than Chris Martin's cracked whine. On tracks such as the hit single "Somewhere Only We Know," they manage to squeeze an epic-sounding poignancy from their stripped-down sound (a lot of this is due to the album's superb production). Across 10 tracks, all this slow-burning melancholy skates a bit close to self-indulgence and you can't help but wish they'd rock out a bit. But Hopes and Fears is still a remarkable and surprisingly mature debut album from a young band with a bright future. --Robert Burrow
Rolling Stone, June 10, 2004

Let's pretend they are "The men who...",
By
This review is from: Hopes And Fears (Audio CD)
Ok, Keane is a good band, very good indeed if you're into "the new Britpop" (i.e. Coldplay, Doves, Elbow, Franz Ferdinand, etc). But don't get mistaken. They are NOT like Coldplay. Here, a few good reasons to give Keane a try on your CD player:a. Singer is far more better than Coldplay's would ever be. Finally, we are, PERHAPS, in front of the birth of another great british pop band. It's just question to wait for their second CD. Remind me of Travis in their best moments ("Why does it always rain on me" and, namely, "Turn" and "Sing", very up tunes). So if liked "The man who", try this CD. But, if you're new into britsh pop, don't forget this: The Simths are the cathedral, Keane is a nice and little church.

Get a Copy,
By bookishgal25 (ontario, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hopes And Fears (Audio CD)
The first song and the first North American release of this album, "Somewhere Only We Know" was stuck in my head, most particularly after being impressed with the band's performance on Saturday Night Live. I took a chance and bought their CD and haven't been able to get it out of my mind since. I take it with me to work, play it in my car, and drift off to sleep listening to it. Every song has a unique value and if you purchase it, you won't be disappointed with any track on the album.

Stop the comparisons,
By The Truth Hurts (chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hopes And Fears (Audio CD)
It is such an injustice to put a snippet of a Rolling Stone ragazine review comparing Keane to Radiohead. How out of touch can Rolling Stone be? Keane is a pleasant-sounding band, one which knows how to craft a lush pop song. They are NOT a rock band. Radiohead is a rock band. If comparisons are so important to people, try last decade's Air Supply if you want to know another band Keane may sound like.
