1.0 out of 5 stars Keane's newest doesn't leave the station... June 14, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
So, you're a Keane fan are you? Well, I hope you haven't bought the new CD yet...if you have, I'm sorry. Keane's newest release is 8 songs long, clocking in at a whopping 31 minutes. Sure, the Beatles albums were often short and no one would say they weren't great...and there have been recent memorable releases that have barely stretched a half hour...Paper Tigers by Caesars jumps right to mind. However, upon closer look and listen, this Keane CD falls very short of being called a classic. You can start with saying it's really a 7 song CD that clocks in at just under 30 minutes, as track 1, "House Lights", is a minute and 24 seconds of nothing. "Back In Time", which follows, is a good song, but nothing that will make you forget standout songs from past Keane CD's. When it's over, it's left your head. That's followed by the official single, "Stop For A Minute", which sounds extremely promising until guest rapper, K'Naan, sings lines like "Baby, you are just beautiful from your crown to your cuticles". Sadly, that gem might be one of the better lines and it makes me cringe every time I hear it. I'm certainly not against rap...even if it doesn't quite fit Keane's style...but I am against bad rap. The song "Clear Skies" follows, and it's easily the highlight of the CD. With hand claps and vivid lyrics, Keane makes you wonder if the ship has been righted and we're set for smooth sailing. But then "Ishin Denshin (You've Got To Help Yourself)" starts to play and you vomit a little in your mouth. I don't know what guest vocalist Tigarah is singing in Japanese, but if it's as syrupy sweet as the English lyrics, I don't want to know. I skip this song more than any other on the CD, which is saying a lot. Next up is "Your Love"...another song which makes you think things are headed in the right direction. "Looking Back", another song with guest vocalist K'Naan, follows and it's not much better than the first he guested on. Lines like "hard to separate my past from a rhyme, cause how could you separate milk from lime" will leave you scratching your head. Instead of thinking things are going to get better, you start to wonder if this Canadian singer/rapper has some incriminating photos of the guys in the band? Or maybe this is some cruel joke? Did Keane have to finish out a contract? Finally, mercilessly, the CD ends with "My Shadow"...which ends the CD on a decent note...if you didn't pop it out of your CD player before then.

Bottom line...if you're a big Keane fan, I highly recommend you stay away from this CD, or else you may be scarred for life. If you feel you must own some new music from Keane, definitely download "Your Love" and "Clear Skies". And if you can get an edited version of "Stop For A Minute", minus the rap...go there too. Otherwise...pop Hopes & Fears, Under The Iron Sea, or even Perfect Symmetry into your CD player...you'll be much happier you did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty, pretty, pretty bad! August 11, 2010
Format:MP3 Music
For goodness sake, DO NOT download the whole album! Listen well to the samples and don't assume a song will get better than what you hear there. Then download probably two tracks and resign yourself to listening to Hopes and Fears or Under the Iron Sea again for a year or so more while you hope for better.

Imagine a whole album of the worst parts of Perfect Symmetry, and that's what Keane have delivered here.

1.0 out of 5 stars EP, LP, it's all the same to me November 30, 2010
By Daimsta
Format:Audio CD
Do you remember the last Star Wars movie of the original 3 that came out, and before the big space battle, the fish general says, "It's a trap!"? I did some research, and it turns out he was referring to one of his staff asking if he should buy Keane's new CD "Night Train" and not the Galactic Empire knowing they were coming to attack (it was coincidence that the Empire did in fact know they were coming). SERIOUSLY THOUGH. I don't have time to deal with this EP vs LP stuff. I go to the store. I pay as much for this CD as I do for every other CD I buy. I should get the same quality for my money, right? WELL I DON'T. Keane snuck into my wallet with their decent song history and all I got for it was a bad rash inside my ears and arthritis in my joints from forever hitting the "Next" button throughout the CD in the hopes that a song worth listening to on it exists.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad. Okay I'm mad, pissed even. But I'm not pissed. Oh wait. Picture this: you're a music artist! And not someone in a basement, you have several CDs, a few hit songs, most people even know your name. Your band puts together 8 "tracks" that consist of an intro with no vocals and lasts a minute and a half, a featured rap artist that talks about being beautiful from your crown to your cuticles and separating milk from lime, a featured Japanese artist that never speaks English during her song so you have no clue what's going on, Keane using THE SAME 3 LINES FOR AN ENTIRE SONG, a song that steals the theme from Rocky, then burns it to a disc and calls it a CD worth asking the public money for. Can you guess what band and CD you are?

Are there some okay songs you can listen to more than once? Yes. Are they worth buying the CD for? Not unless you want an excuse to get all riled up on a Wednesday night and break out your digital pitchfork and torch on amazon's review section. I have loved most of Keane's music in the past. Nothing is ever perfect, but there was enough balance with experimenting and sticking with what they already did well that the CDs were worthwhile. If the experimenting in their other CDs was the equivalent of adjusting the amount of food a mouse in a cage gets every few days by a small percent, then this CD was dousing the mouse in gamma radiation, testing makeup on it, painting it's fur leopard print, renaming it to Lothar, giving it only sushi to eat and demanding it has until Tuseday to learn to play Beethoven's 9th ...or else. TOO MUCH EXPERIMENTING KEANE, TOO MUCH! And now look at the monster that you've created...stealing the Rocky theme, using the same 3 lines for a whole song, shame on you...

Keane's Back on Track
