Keane "Perfect Symmetry"

I apologize in advance for all the Keane posts amidst the drama lately, but since it's about to come out I figured I'd let whoever cares know that it's a pretty good album that has the classic royal Keane piano sound mixed with some dabbles in new wave and synthpop, as well as some guitar rocking out even towards the latter half of the record. It's a short album, only about 50 minutes, but Tom's voice is tops. What can I say I love this guys voice. Whether it's his natural voice or studio manipulation, his voice is so powerful and passionate...really reminds me of Freddie Mercury at times. What I find interesting about this record is that although it does add more eclecticism to Keane's sonic palette it still very much sounds like Keane. Keane just have a distinctive groove to them that manages to be youthful and retro, all at the same time.

Highlights:

Spiraling Better Than This You Havent Told Me Anything Perfect Symmetry Pretend That You're Alone........

Hell the whole album is pretty damn solid

Did your parents have any children who lived?

Doc, his posts are both good and original. But the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good

Not that it is a prerequisite with regards to Thomas's talent at singing....more of a footnote to those who may not give a rat's tits about his Freddie Mercuryesqueness..The question still loiters,somewhat absurdly...

Is he still,like,well rubbish at drugs?
