mountainloafers Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 My first impression after listening to the leak. Has a very cool 80's vintage feel... As well as some subtle throwback ode's to David Bowie and The Talking Heads... Stand outs include. Lover's Are Losing!!!! Best new track imo Perfect Symmetry You Dont See Me -- LOVE THIS! Playing Along -- Nice EPIC stadium and earbud anthem here... Should have been the CLOSER guys Pretend That Youre Alone -- Do I hear a John Taylor-ish bass line here? There's also a slight Nile Rogers-like guitar jangle that makes this fun! Its ironic that the lyrics turn it into something completly different. All in all Id say its a keeper with several nice tunes... The final track is a snoozer and forgetable. The lead single still get's on my nerves. Definately going to purchase this one! What's your take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkahard Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I only have one word after a few listens...and that is: WOW. Perfect Symmetry is an obvious standout track, but so far, I'm loving Black Burning Heart the best. It's like this new Keane with a ton of old Keane thrown in...and the random French verse is fantastic. Just love it. I also think Pretend That You're Alone is awesome, too. The album has such a good flow, immediately starting with Spiralling and The Lovers Are Losing--chilling out a bit in the middle--and then totally buoying itself up at the end again. I usually don't connect with albums this fast. Under the Iron Sea was kind of a "what is this" for me the first time I heard it, but this isn't like that at all. It's just so immediately accessible, but I can't wait to get proper lyrics because they sound amazing as well.

Jiminy Cricket Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I figured I wouldn't download the leak. Then I thought, "Oh, fuck it, it's streaming tomorrow, it's out in 5 days and I'm getting the special edition which has demos - MAJOR incentive to buy." Listened to one track so far, Perfect Symmetry. Wow. Brilliant. Also: JANUARY 25TH AT THE O2. Oh my. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkahard Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Anyone else think that Keane might actually start to get some respect with this album? I sure hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainloafers Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I'm sorry too! :bigcry: maybe I'll like in a few days or weeks :uhoh: Let's hope its a grower for you. It was an instant for me for many songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiminy Cricket Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 This is really good. I like the new direction they've taken. "Who are you? What are you living for?" Tom's lyrics have improved once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan8 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It's only a few days till it comes out, I can wait for that. Nice to see positive responses :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiminy Cricket Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Listening to the title track kills me. It's just so upsetting. :cry: A few of the tracks that didn't stick out on first listen are growing on me. Hello there, You Don't See Me, Pretend That You're Alone and Love Is The End. WOOOOOOOOOOOO DEMOS. :D I love it when bands do this. "Pieces of pieces of rush hour buses" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have to say I liked some of the leaked versions better than the album versions. I think there was just a rawer feeling to them. They were edgy, not like normal Keane. But I thought it was a good change. This seems like they felt they had to bring some songs down. I LOVE play along, might be my favorite at this point. That being said I loved all the leaked songs a lot. This album seems to be pretty great at this moment. Keane always requires a lot of listens though. I always go through different favorites with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplay007 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 aaaah i think the album's great. solely cos love is the end is so awesome... but still it's no bedshaped... i like perfect symmetry (song). that was decent. and lovers are losing was pretty good. but again and again was excellent imo. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footyfan10 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 yeah im hoping this is a grower, because at this point i feel like there are five really good songs, and everything else is either bad or fringe. im thinking some of the demos might get more play time for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Fairly good album. I agree some strong some weak. But overall a nice change while keeping true to themselves. Some of it is annoying to me. But overall good album. I havent listened to the Demos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kj91 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 The new album is lovely. My favorite tracks at the moment are Perfect Symmetry, The Lovers Are Losing and Again & Again. On the first listen, I had some "wtf moments" while listening to Spiralling. I loved the radio edit, but the one on the album sounds a bit weird. Anyone else who has the same opinion on Spiralling?

IneedYou23 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 With the all the hype that Tom Chaplin was giving this album I say that its a bust.Lyrically this album is crap!!!Never really liked Keanes lyrics.They have a couple good songs.
