Strangeland never really lives up to its mysterious title, as there's nothing on it that doesn't feel willfully nostalgic, but like any good plate of comfort food it satisfies in a way that more adventurous meals never truly can.

Keane have never failed toBRILLIANT! absolutely exciting and refreshing from this boring pop/hip. Just about every track is single worthy. Keane have never failed to produce quality music.

The music's good but the lyrics of some songs didn't impressed me much. However Keane kept their piano rock essence intact in this album and this makes them special on originality.

In all it's more than an average album and it deserves a 7/10.…Expand
