I am charged and touches

I usually let my reviews with warm much time. So but not this time. But one thing in advance: who attaches great importance to technical and acoustic assessments, will not be happy with me. With the production of music I know myself simply not out, so I will spare the gentle reader with my ignorance.

What I can do is judge whether I like the result or not. And it does this time very much! One could say "again" or "again," after all, it's all about Keane.

It would now not mutatis mutandis unravel all songs on the album individually and awarded points on a scale of 1 to 10 (Everyone will find its favorite titles). That would be the album also not fair, because here a story is told: a story about life, love, forgetting, forgiveness, which look to the future, will find the rest. A story that is both human and far from any glorification developing a volume documents, in which one can again find himself as a person always. When it is said in interviews that a circle had closed with this album, I can say as listeners and longtime fan, I see this circle, hear and feel. If that is now too esoteric, has the course of the band's history may not be prosecuted or placed no great importance (which is not supposed to sound reproachful). The more intense the feeling, however, when it still did now.

If you asked me what I wanted to describe the album, so I'd opt for the concept of "satisfaction". Satisfaction after clashes, after ups and downs, doubts and security. I think on this record would still fit no piece of paper between Tim, Tom, Richard and Jesse. I dare say that you can hear that!

A tendency to the ancient roots or new ground ?! Hard to say. It remains probably up to each listener individually, if he listens to primarily H & F or UTIS elements and hopes, or whether he was fond of the sound alá PS or NT and it still is. In fact, everything is there and for me, the plate is the perfect mixture thereof is a user wrote it before me. A way back to H & F will not happen. It must also not. Including when albums such as Strange country can arise ?! Surely this album is not any (so) "perfect" find (as I did), but there will be many fans of "split page" can reconcile. Comparisons with H & F were me personally starting UTIS puzzling, since I'm basically a proponent of experimentation and changes, but it's still saying that they will revive again here.

Conclusion: Keane have never disappointed me in the last eight years, and after the fourth (fifth) album I can "dangers" of this kind probably exclude even be final :) For me there is absolutely no logical or illogical reason to hesitate in Strange Land, if you the quality of Keane previously appreciated it, or she wants to make a "newcomers" tasty.
