Using my skills of logic from university...Premise: Coldplay stole a lot of there musical styling from Radiohead
Premise: Coldplay are not very good crooks, their music sucks
Premise: Keane has often been cited as ripping off Coldplay
Premise: Keane are good crooks
Conclusion: Keane's music sucks
If that is not enough here is a link to there myspace account, to hear said "music."
As if there pop music isn't pretensions enough they wrote a little something about their album in case the music itself fails to convey the message they want it too:
"In making this record we tried to confront all our worst fears, to ruthlessly scrutinize ourselves, our relationships with each other, with other people, and with the world at large, and to make a journey into the darkest places we could find. It made for an incredibly intense atmosphere during the writing and recording of the album, and the resultant music very much reflects that. In the songs we created a kind of sinister fairytale-world-gone-wrong, a feeling of confusion and numbness represented by a dark place under an impenetrable iron sea."
In case you were wondering there album is entitled "Under the Iron Sea." I guess it's somewhere only they know.
I mean people will call Radiohead pretensions but seriously as far as relativity, there relatively unassuming.
