shred Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I think I will cry if the next album is like PS. I hated that album. I hated how electronic they became. H&F and UTIS was brilliant in my opinion and I wish to the PTB will return to that sound/style. Chaplin was a much better song writer when he was on drugs.

I don't think Stramgeland will be anything like PS or the NT EP... :P What is PTB?? Also, Tim Rice-Oxley writes most of the songs. The only one that I know Tom Chaplin wrote was The Hamburg Song on UTIS :D:smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellynelly Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I used to love Keane but after their last album I lost interest, so I don't know how to feel about the new album, I am intreged to hear it though and I hope one day they would return to the old sound from 'hopes and fears'. (I don't like the fact they have made that jesse a full time member by the look of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sensible to recognise his work. He obviouslly earnt it. am i the only person that loves ps? ): No you're not. I LOVE it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrk Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I don't want them to sound like H&F again. Despite I love that album I'm not keen on the idea of another album made exclusively of piano driven songs. I'd rather like to see them experiment with keyboards, synths and stuff (like the moog effect they posted in a video). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWLover Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 am i the only person that loves ps? ): You're not alone! In fact, I like it even better than Hopes and Fears (Under the Iron Sea is still my top favorite though! And Night Train is (obviously) on the last place:P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uve23 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I respect people who dislike Perfect Symmetry. I don't dislike it. At first I was quite shocked by it because it was a big change for Keane. Not only sonically, but also it was weird to see them so happy, colourful, poppy... We were used to that dark/sad image of Keane. But I'm glad they did change, they almost split up in 2006 and I think that PS was their salvation. My favourite album is UTIS, closely followed by H&F and then comes PS. The thing is that I can ALWAYS listen to H&F and UTIS cause they fit my mood, personality or whatever. But I have to be extremely happy and energetic to say "Hey, let's listen to Spiralling, Better than this or Pretend that you're alone!" I think that it was a very important experience for them and that they've learned a lot from it. They're not stupid and they've obviously realised that PS didn't have the same effect on people than UTIS or H&F had. You just had to go to their gigs to see that people were much more excited when they played Everybody's changing or Crystal ball than any other PS track. I'm liking the sound and the idea of Strangeland A LOT. I already love Sovereign Light Cafe and Disconnected. And, by the way, Silenced by the night will premiere as a first single in the US on March 12! What is PTB?? Also, Tim Rice-Oxley writes most of the songs. The only one that I know Tom Chaplin wrote was The Hamburg Song on UTIS :D:smug: Nope, Hamburg Song was written by Tim FOR Tom. Tom has written: Closer now, Call me what you like, Maybe I can change and Playing along. Although, of course, both him and Richard have participated in all the songwritin process, even though is Tim who comes with the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmuckers Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 the cover art for that single reminds me so much of the cover art for the killers' hot fuss! not that that really means too much... just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Can't say I'm digging that vocal echo effect. But at the moment, it doesn't seem as terrible as "Stop for a Minute". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotrobsessed101 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 So far this album seems pretty darned good! First time I've been excited about something Keane-related for several years! I was not a fan of PS. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRide Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Preview single Silenced by the night (30s) Silenced by the night - Keane (Single Preview, 2012) - YouTube :awesome: Anyway, to contribute to the debate about PS, I actually think that it's pretty good. Granted, UTIS is my favorite album of theirs, but I like the energy that they had. Additionally, there are quite a few songs that are great to run along to. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uve23 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yes, he did write Playing Along, I can't find a source right now... Although it's in Wikipedia and, during the PS tour, everytime he sang that song acoustic it was just him and his guitar and he always said that he had written that song, and why, and that that was just a moment for him and the audience (Tim, Richard and Jesse weren't on stage). And yep, Silenced by the night will be the first single in the US. They say it's gonna be Disconnected in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOPPI Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well I think they shouldn't release Disconnected this early it seems like a typical summer song to me. Silenced By The Night should be released worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWLover Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Tom didn't write Playing Along, it was Tim as always. Same goes for Maybe I Can Change. Hell, if Tom wrote Playing Along, then why is the demo version sung by Tim? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
