The first disc of the Deluxe Edition is essentially the "greatest hits" radio dream. If you are building a playlist for a rainy day, this is it.

To understand the weight of this "Best Of," you have to remember the context. When Keane burst onto the scene with Hopes and Fears (2004), they were anomalies.

Disc One is a relentless barrage of hits. It opens with the iconic delayed piano of "Everybody’s Changing," a track that still sounds as urgent and pristine as it did in 2004.

This track marks Keane’s most aggressive moment. Meanwhile, “Crystal Ball” and “A Bad Dream” reveal the band’s debt to 1980s U2 (specifically The Unforgettable Fire), with Chaplin’s lyrics descending into paranoia about lost identity. The deluxe edition’s inclusion of “Let It Slide” (a B-side from this era) shows a looser, groove-based Keane rarely heard on studio albums.
