I will have to give the new single a listen

Calling Coldplay background music undermines how interesting there music has become. To call it that implies a musical snobbery. Background music is devoid of emotion and soul - that's not Coldplay, and it never will be.

 

I don't think he meant Coldplay is background music; I think he just meant that, even after all the new and interesting stuff they've done recently, a lot of people still consider Coldplay background music. That's certainly true, and kind of sad. Once someone assumes Coldplay is background music, they'll never notice how good it is.

 

Keane are the real backgroung music not Coldplay. Keane are shit and have nothing on Coldplay. Stop calling Coldplay's music rubbish because Keane have just given their new song Spiralling out and its shit and I would never even think about putting their music in the background, its that shit. Fuck Keane.

 

"shit...shit...shit...fuck," 4 sentences. :dozey:

I dont really like this song... Its way to pop... I love their alternative side much better.

^^^^^

 

Lay off the insults. As I've already said, what's the point in stirring shit in a thread where most people quite like this band. Unless you have something useful to say then move your fingers away from the keyboard.

THIS IS THE POLITE POLICE

 

STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD

 

...

 

Yeah, anyways, like I said, fucking A.

Spiralling is fucking great. Nice new direction for Keane.

edit

See I agree with most of your points. I too am not sure why some people are so vehemently opposed to the song. Stuff takes time to sink in, and also one song doesn't indicate all the other. Violet Hill certainly wasn't indicative of Viva la Vida, was it?

 

I do have to somewhat break of from you in some respects though. I've never been the type of person who gives much credence to the tortured artist. Say what you want about the importance of critical acclaim, but even the best bands and the one's most critically acclaimed once got panned - and likely pretty bad too (Radiohead anyone). So the idea that Keane need to become a band like that is retarded, because that is what your kind of suggesting in your having them not sell a lot of music - ala Radiohead in most cases (and I mean comparing Radiohead to bigger bands, because obviously they sell a lot). I agree music that is challenging is often rewarding, but Coldplay are a great band without having to be that pretentious we're-doing-this-because-of-us thing.

I agree with this poster. Hope the album doesnt suck as bad as the first song.

 

Only difference is VH is a GREAT song....

While I'm not minding Spiralling too much...I agree wholeheartedly about VH being amazing.

Woah dude, I'm not sure if those "^^^^^" are for me, but I never said Coldplay was shit, I was quoting someone, and they never said Coldplay was shit either. So calm the fuck down.

 

Keane's not shit. Coldplays not shit. I like Coldplay more. Some like Keane more. Who cares.

 

No that wasnt aimed for you. Sorry about what I said. Its just I get so worked up that I blurt stuff. Kinda got influenced by being on other bands threads. Sorry!!

cant wait to hear some new keane sounds (but hope they dont threaten coldplay..) i thought they were finished but BAM!

They can never threaten Coldplay no matter what.

I just heard their newest song, and Im not sure what to think of it.

You can hear Tim playing with one of the synths that features in Spiralling in this recording studio video, and you can hear the song playing underneath it too:

 

Hey where can I hear this new song??

Muchas gracias!!

No problem dude.

 

 

 

But really I hope Keane doesn't go insane here on this album. Its one thing to innovate, and its another entirely to take steps back.

yeh! ^

i just heard it too.......dont like it and dont think i even will....shame.

i am a HUGE keane fan, they wer in my top 10 favourite bands (alongside coldplay, of course) I heard the new single and was very surprised at first but now i cant stop listening to it! total pop but i like it!

This new song confuses my poor head. I don't know what to think! Let's replay it one more time...
