#35 | Keane | Cause And Effect
Island
According to Mark J. Marraccini: “When all four members gather together to sing out Rice-Oxley’s inner thoughts, like on the desire-filled album closer “I Need Your Love,” the band’s singular motive behind making an album together again after so much time away is most fully realized. It’s in these arm-in-arm aural moments that Cause and Effect reveals itself to truly be Keane’s “Band of Brothers” album —where the foursome joined back together on a quest to release the demons associated with a difficult journey traveled by one of their own. As a result, Keane has created their most focused, emotionally resonant, and sonically adventurous album yet.”
