The first Best of Keane heard luckily to the first category. The album includes a good selection of all the singles and the most privileged songs. Interestingly, to date 4 albums and 1 EP were weighted very differently. From the debut and then surprising masterpiece Hopes & Fears 5 songs are included, the significantly gloomier Under the Iron Sea, however even manages 7 songs. Then there will be 2 songs from the more experimental (because with guitars ;-) Perfect Symmetry and three songs from the last album Strange Country by Keane has angeknüft back to the melodic beginning days. These then two new songs, both beautiful typical Keane songs, HIGHER THAN THE SUN bit slower and very electronic, WONT BE BROKEN come up with a meaner beat.
This collection is ideal for music lovers who are on fine melodic and dreamy pop, do not know Keane and also not put off by the bad reviews that this band gets a peculiar way from the beginning. The Deluxe variant is for fans above all exciting. It offers 2 on CD all 18 B-sides of singles. And here there is to discover a treasure. A beautiful gift, if this is to a parting gift.
