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.
