    Days Are Gone is great. The second album is one of the least inspired, most maddeningly repetitive albums of the decade.

    Debut is great start to finish. Iron Sea has some duds in the back half. Which b-sides would you swap in there?

    For Under The Iron Sea, I really think "Let It Slide" & "Thin Air" absolutely should have been on the album, no question. I also like "Maybe I Can Change" a lot too, although probably not quite as much as the other two.

  3. Haven't listened to Keane in many years, but I do remember finding them underrated. Glad to hear they're making a new album

    Somewhere Only We Know is one of my favorite songs ever but I’ve never heard even ONE other Keane song. I should change that lol

  9. Even Perfect Symmetry has some good stuff on it. Here for the Keane love.

    Perfect Symmetry is half great and half experimentation that just doesn't work for them. But yeah, some of their best songs are on that record.

    i've only heard the first two Keane records so far but love both endlessly, was so glad to find out they're back

    half of ABIIOR (all the singles + How to Draw/Petrichor, I Like America, Couldn't Be More In Love) is up there with the first two albums for me and the other half i just don't really care for. obsessing over 80% of a band's discography still must mean i adore them

    ILIWYS >> s/t > ABIIOR

    I don’t think it’s unpopular to say this album is great but it is so god damn underrated in terms of popularity imo.

    some namedropping your favorite artists in your song is okay. there's a point when it gets too obnoxious though, like all the pop punk bands mentioning previous pop punk bands and basically what Gaslight Anthem exist for

    I think there's a difference between lyrical interpolations/references and songs that just namedrop artists.

    There’s also a difference between primarily namedropping artists, and namedropping waitresses named Maria

    Dashboard naming themselves after a lyric in their own song is good shit
