Today I found someone had finally put up some really old Keane songs up on Youtube. I'm talking pre-Tom Chaplin here (well, I guess these 3 songs are after Tom joined the band playing guitar, but before original vocalist & bassist Dominic Scott left). Back when they had just changed their name to Keane from The Lotus Eaters. It was like discovering a whole new band. It's definitely more guitar-oriented, and the drum sound is different too. Here're a couple songs:
So. What do you think?
Hmmm.... it's okay, but so much of what makes Keane awesome is their amazing pianist.
ReplyDeleteI like the current Keane better. Kind of reminds me of the difference in Fleetwood Mac pre- and post-Buckingham/Nicks. Sometimes you get it right from the beginning, and sometimes you just gotta wait for the right elements to come along.
ReplyDeleteInteresante! I almost really like '1925'. It might grow on me. But yeah, I agree with the other comments.
