Music Review: Perfect Symmetry

By Simon

The British rock band, Keane, has finally come out with its third CD, Perfect Symmetry. Now, I've always been a fan of Keane, and I still am, but I'm sorry to say that I was not completely satisfied with its new sound. The band, in the beginning of its career, sounded beautiful and straight-forward, relying on the piano instead of guitars as its lead instrument. But it has now started experimenting with its sound to come across as more modern. If you ask me, it's only worth listening to the first three songs. It seems that Perfect Symmetry is not so perfect after all.

If you're interested in rock/pop music, I recommend listening to this band, but first listen to the other two albums, Under the Iron Sea and Hopes and Fears.

I give it a 7 out of ten.

Letter from the Editors

Dear Readers,

The new year has begun with ups and downs. Left and right you notice differences in the school: the new signs outside the building, the pumpkins decorating the breezeway, the new Ecokids' garden, and most importantly our new and improved Cougar Times web page!

This year the staff of the Cougar Times is devoted to informing you of everything exciting happening in our school. Last year, since the newspaper was new to all of us, there were only two editions. This year we plan to post new articles much more often. We are also planning on putting a whiteboard in the breezeway with poll questions, updates, and information about our web page. Interesting and fun new articles coming soon are a Haunted Hayride description, a music review, and a book review.

Remember this, these new changes to our newspaper are done to make you, the readers, excited about each new edition. Please contact one of our staff members if you have any ideas for stories that you would be interested in, and don't forget to check for new articles!
