Jiminy Cricket Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 So, um, I got the CD. Just the one CD, no demos. However, the U.K. exclusive content includes "Perfect Symmetry: The Writing Tapes", so we could still be in luck. That part of the CD goes live on Monday (I think), so we'll see.

polkahard Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Mashup of Another One Bites the Dust and Dance Wiv Me on Live Lounge. Very much in the Bootylicious style--absolutely great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1GzyntxLuo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have a feeling this album is going to be Keane's least appreciated, but possibly best album. Basically I've been listening to it non-stop, and yesterday I had that moment I get every now and then when I just become completely absorbed in the music. I really do think this album is amazing. It's a grower for sure. I think lyrically they're attacking some big big big big things. Like stuff most people would never really think about. It seems like a drug induced rant in some ways. There are a lot of themes that become clear because how often they pop up in different songs. Keane has always had a thing about roads as a metaphor, and this album is no different. But there are a lot of strong lyrical moments in here that I think most people would throw away as just being garbage. I don't do drugs so I don't really know if what I'm saying is correct, but you really do get the impression that these guys just got together and lamented the world for what it was, and wrote an album about it. Good stuff in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff in my opinion. I agree. I was listening to it on the way to the Travis gig yesterday and I was very impressed by several of the tracks. As I had hoped, "Spiralling" isn't representative of the whole album.:cool: I look forward to seeing them next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footyfan10 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I wish there was more discussion going on here, so I didn't feel like I was dominating a thread. I've come to a personal conclusion that this album is going to mean a lot to some people, and mean nothing at all to others. The music and lyrics are growers. You aren't sure what is really be said. But after many many many listens, I've found that this album says A WHOLE LOT. I don't think I've ever seen an album so fascinated with the big things. This album is for the informed listener. Someone looking to get more than basic pleasure out of music. I think this album might get some critical acclaim or shame. Basically it depends on whether the critics will feel that Keane is in a position to comment on a lot of larger than life ideas. If they feel Keane should be allowed, then this is going to be a big time album. I will not agree with anyone saying this album is lyrically poor. It's one of the most thought provoking things I've listened to in a very long time. If you want to listen to a lot of songs about a broken heart than Hopes and Fears is a good bet. But for those who are looking for an album about the human no longer content to take things at face value, well this album is for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipoffools Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 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? I was actually pleasantly surprised by the version on the album. I think it has more depth and is much more creative and artistic than the radio edit. I sort of wish they had just left it as it was, but I guess they had to edit it down for airplay.

Stefan8 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Well, let's hope it'll grow on me then. First impression is not so good... Some of the songs I liked though. Spiralling is kinda catchy. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matter-Eater Lad Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I just heard the whole album on last.fm and it was amazing. I was a little worried when I firs heard spiraling, but the album as a whole was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilione Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 @darkchoc92: Thanks for posting! :) I've already seen a video of Perfect Symmetry, it was so touching! Feel free to tell us a bit more about their forum gig, I'd love to read a bit more about it. :) I bought the album yesterday and I already love it A LOT, I really do! I actually don't think they've changed their style as much as one thought they would and I believe there are quite a few songs on the album that still sound very "keanish". ;) For me, I already love "Perfect Symmetry" very much as I think it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! It almost made me cry when I heard it the first time. :heart: I also adore "Black burning heart", it's almost just as beautiful! I'm so much looking forward to seeing them live in less than a month! It's like a big dream coming true as I've been waiting for the chance to see them for more than 3 years... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
