This song has shot up from Number 15 to Number 3.
Last week I was a bit concerned as this is a brilliant single that deserved to enter the Top 5. But now I've come to the conclusion that last week was probably downloads alone and that the actual single release on CD was on monday which is why the song has gone so high up in the charts.

Am I right about this?
Anyway, Keane are a great band and the song is well worthy of hitting Number 3. I think that's the highest chart position.

First time I heard it, I thought it was Muse.

I still like it though, even though it's Keane - they should be congratulated on changing their sound enough to keep things interesting but not so much that they don't sound like themselves*.
Great single and I never thought I'd say that about Keane.

*Coldplay take note.

Atlantic is the track. Why it's internet only at the moment I'll never know. Best album opener in ages.

I think 'Is it any wonder?" sounds like U2.

The album itself is pretty good, too. I'd say very good, but it runs out of steam a bit in the last few tracks, before coming up with a brilliant final track. Atlantic, Frog Prince, Crystal Ball, Hamburg Song and Nothing in My Way could all be top ten hits, easily. Pleasent surprise.

I love all those tracks apart from The Frog Prince (as I have not heard a good quality version) how did you get the album? (I heard it had been leaked onto the internet already...)

Mmm didn't like it. Thought it was a clone of hopes n fears, just different words. When a band bring out a new album i kinda like a slightly different sound, a developed sound so to speak. Didn't get it with this one, quite disappointed .
