LisaH.Oct 15, 2008Not the Keane of old...I appreciate that they are doing different things creatively, but this album is a big miss for me. Sounds too 80's, and gone is Tom Chaplin's incredible voice. Still a huge Keane fan, but this one won't be worn out like "Hopes and Fears" and "Under the Iron Sea".

As rock goes, Symmetry remains a relatively quiet riot, but in the context of the band itself, it's a welcome revelation.

Musically, they’ve ripped off swathes of things contemporary and popular to make them ‘hip’, but it just feels like some dodgy old guy at a bus stop telling you he digs Klaxons.

On album three, Keane trick out their pretty piano melodies with tasty synths ('The Lovers Are Losing'), booming rap beats ('Spiralling'), and fuzzy new-wave guitars ('You Haven’t Told Me Anything').
