Unfortunately, the rest of the singles roundup is a total drag, so we'll turn to the album chart, where Keane's Strangeland has become the band's fourth studio album to hit #1 (and their fifth release to do so, if we include their 2010 EP Night Train).
So far, the band has yet to produce a hit single from the album. "Silenced By The Night" reached the lackluster height of #46, but, truth be told, Keane's last Top 20 hit came in 2006 when "Nothing In My Way" peaked at #19.
I'm actually listening to Strangeland for the first time right now. The band has been criticized for returning to the sound of their first two albums (i.e. when they were hugely successful), but I imagine that's what their fans want.
Really, it's not bad. Not exceptional by any means, but not bad at all.
