Dude, it's totally Clocks! and it sucks too! I never expect them to release something like this.

Please, most of the new stuff (not including X&Y cuz I haven't heard it) doesn't hold a candle to (is that even a saying?) the Parachutes era and before. I don't like the more polished and pop-like sound they've been producing. Mostly I just prefer the tracks featuring Chris on acoustic guitar. "Trouble" even sounds way better performed acoustically. I still like piano based tracks like Keane does, but they never have songs featuring a guitar so I couldn't really compare there.

was Parachutes not polished and pop-like then?

and so you're saying that a piano is more pop than an acoustic guitar? I don't think that's always true...

A Rush Of Blood To The Head is a better album than Parachutes.

I agree about that. I did like the title track a lot.

first of all, speed of sound is clocks repackaged. that does not make it a bad song. and it WILL grow on you with repeated listens. i was really pissed off when i heard it. i was like fuck this, i'll just play clocks over and over again but i found myself playing it over and over again. i dont know whether i like the song cos i like the song or i like it because i like clocks.

Now that's smurfin' sacrilege! "Daylight" is decent at best and "A Whisper" is complete crap.

agreed. parachutes kicks the living crap out of rush of blood.

no, it most certainly isn't.

Watch it, don't offend the always right Mr. Clark!

I actually agree with you, Parachutes is a much superior album. As much as I like A Rush Of Blood To The Head, I feel Parachutes is more interesting and less boring.
