I just read this on damien’s blog and needed to post about it. So another Keane song is apparently online called ‘Better Than This’ and I gave it a listen and was caught way off guard. This track will definitely be the most polarizing song on the blogs for the days to come.
I think change can be a good thing, and that change can take a band to the next level. However, I don’t think these high pitched vocals shifts are meant for Keane. Minus that the track is not too shabby. Don’t get me wrong I am enjoying the new 80’s direction that they have taken. I really like ‘Spiralling’ and think that they can still pull off a very good album. Either way, cheers to Keane for reinventing themselves and not continuing the same trend.
Damien is streaming the track over at his site. Check it out, and buy their new album ‘Perfect Symmetry’ when it comes out on October 13th!!
What does everyone else think of this?
