Review

Rolling Stone (p.129) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "'Spiralling' and 'Pretend That You're Alone' are irresistible dance-pop corkers, and 'Better Than This,' with a keyboard hook lifted from David Bowie's 'Ashes to Ashes,' is catchier yet."
Spin (p.96) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "On album three, Keane trick out their pretty piano melodies with tasty synths, booming rap beats, and fuzzy new-wave guitars."
Entertainment Weekly (p.97) - "[T]he band have suddenly, gratifyingly, found their mojo. 'Spiralling,' the opener and first single, is brash, ambitious, even sexy, built toweringly on strutting melody lines and anthemic vocal woohs."
Clash (magazine) (p.122) - "PERFECT SYMMETRY is arguably one of the most unexpected and altogether arresting returns of the year....[The album] bewilders, enchants and entices..."

One glance at the cover art of 2008's PERFECT SYMMETRY, and it's clear that Keane has made a notable shift in its aesthetic, with geometric shapes replacing the more ornate, vintage look of past albums. SYMMETRY's music, not surprisingly, follows suit, with the British alt-rock band veering off in a striking synth-pop-influenced direction. While frontman Tom Chaplin's plaintive vocals provide the crucial thread of familiarity, the album's arrangements are generally beat-driven and keyboard-heavy, often edging on techno territory (particularly the robotic rhythms of "You Haven't Told Me Anything"). Though the record isn't a complete departure (see the aching, piano-led "Love Is the End"), it's certain to be divisive among diehard fans, with plenty of debate spurred on by "Spiralling" and other telltale signs of Keane's glossy, synth-loving makeover.

4 out of 5 stars Keane album, October 8, 2008
By Fan
This album is amazing! Keane is a british piano-rock band that originally formed in the 90s, and definitely keeps some of that retro 90s feel without being outdated. "Spiralling" and "Lovers are Losing" are two great singles, sure to please. Give it a listen!
