  1. KEANE Perfect Symmetry

That album really bugs me. I'm a fan of the band since before they were well known and I've really liked everything they've done up to now. Perfect Symmetry has 3 songs I think are among the best they've done - Spiralling, Lovers Are Losing and the title track. The rest is really, really average. Their old B-Sides are better than most stuff on there!

Absolutely. I hope they get back to their best soon.

I've just listened to the latest Pendulum album In Silico and it is brilliant. I wouldn't have got into drum 'n' bass if it wasn't for these guys. Pity about the new video.

you serious??

Where were you in 1994/5?

If this is drum and bass, I'm a monkey's uncle. Sounds like a piss poor imitation of the Prodigy with some comedy Metallica thrown it. C'mon!!

Aye i'm not taken by Pendulum at all. Nowt orginal. As you say , Bert, Prodigy did it all, much MUCH better, over a decade ago.

It probably will be.. I've heard most of it, and the huge bidding war that broke out amongst labels in the Autumn sounds justified. Bring on death disco :thumb:

Besides, the Prodigy hath returned with this, and new album to follow in February. It's ace, but only if you turn it up loud and piss off the neighbours, as I'm doing right now.

Not bad. Obviously recognizably Prodigy. Couldn't get it to play that loudly on my earphones here and don't want to wake the neighbours up again with the speakers.It probably sounds better at full volume, like you say.
