   I wasn't thrilled with their Night Train EP, so to me, Strangeland is more of a return to form. I may not be as jaded and cynical as most reviewers seem to be. I really enjoy Keane's melodic pop sensibilities and look forward to seeing them live.… Expand

   Good, but far from great. Keane took back the Hopes And Fears formula that worked well eight years ago, but they forgot the melancholic touch they used to have then. The result of going back to their comfort zone is a step backwards pop album empty of emotions and without a decent production.
   
   Keane obviously tried to repeat the amazing success they had with their first album, but without any great radio-friendly songs like Somewhere Only We Know, Is It Any Wonder? or Spiralling, Strangeland is easily going to be their worst selling album to date; Silenced By The Night and Disconnected are the worst singles they've released since Better Than This.
   
   After four years of waiting, this is an incredibly disappointing record. It might be enjoyable, but Strangeland is the worst album they've released by far.… Expand
