Great album of hits from a great band.
Loved Keane ever since I first heard 'Somewhere only we know'. Lots of brilliant songs that you can just relax and listen to no matter your mood. For such a brilliant band I do think they are underrated. So if you are looking for something a bit different then I recommend buying this.

Watch what you order!
I made mistake when I bought this cd! Not realising there are two different versions of "The Best Of" I originally purchased the one disc version. The album was a delight and the diverse song writing blew me away. When I discovered I could have bought the deluxe version with 15 more tracks to immerse myself in I was really annoyed. Later I bought "Strangelands" another enjoyable , though lighter mix of their songs. I still kept stewing over the fact that I had missed out this extra disc. In the end I paid for the deluxe version (so now I have two disc ones!) just so I could find what I missed the first time. I can tell you it was worth it. The songs were more laid back on the second disc but no less enjoyable.

VERY EASY TO LISTEN TO
Bought at full cost, My reviews are based on honest truth meaning the good, the bad and the ugly where appropriate. Music of any sort is a matter for the listener. Discovered through TV soundtrack. Most of the CD, to my taste is well wort listening to. I have some hearing issues so actually hearing the wording / lyrics is sometimes difficult but the music is easy to listen to. Played in the background whilst video editing, reading or similar is quite relaxing. Worth buying but do the rounds to get the best value

Superb Deluxe Set!
A great 2CD and DVD package which reflects the best of Keane.The DVD that accompanies the deluxe set is excellent ,with the tracks selected being popular b sides rather than the safe Keane songs we all love - worth getting for this alone. All in all a 5 star package and hope one day Keane will return after the solo outings! One very minor quibble - it's a pity the best of Keane wasn't realised on vinyl ; I'm sure there would have been a demand for it - the Killers bought out an (admittedly expensive) 10" set of their greatest hits and they were soon snapped up! With the current resurgence of vinyl maybe one day ....

Enjoyable
Bought for the b sides disc 2 as am familiar with the hits. Disc 2 is just as good with some beautiful songs. Mainly love Tom's voice and his solo work too. After seeing him live several times he is as good, if not better than on the record. Looking forward to seeing him again singing QUEEN in 2 weeks and then a new KEANE record and tour later this year.
