I've decided to post commentary and rate CDs that I listen to in 2008. Out of ****, as I've abandoned the letter grading system. Wahoo.
Man what a delightful piece of work this disc is. This was the first time I listened to Keane, and I was pleasantly surprised at what is a rock solid, well crafted pop album, overly joyous but never annoying. Even though I didn't think it was by any means great, when compared to some of the crap that passes for pop music these days this one shines through. *** 1/2

Aside from the fact that Bob Seger looks like a dirty redneck hippy on the cover of this disc that doesn't detract from the fact that he's highly underrated when it comes to song writing and even vocals despite not being knowning for playing instruments. If any of his other discs are half as good as this one I must hear more, for this album rocks and is packed full of stuff ranging from good to great. If you enjoy music in the style of George Thorogood or John Cougar Mellencamp this is right up your alley. ****
