Rare Musical Post
I’m so sad. I played the heck out of Keane’s last album, earning as high as a silver award for most plays on the Zune social. I felt the music more than I heard it. I even vidded two of the songs off the last album, and that’s really saying something. Perfect Symmetry is nearly a perfect disappointment. I don’t know what is going on with the vocals, but the serious ode to the 80s just isn’t working for me. The final track is a mellow, somewhat repetitive song that I have played quite a bit, but I’m going to give the rest of it about one more play before I give up on it forever.
I was similarly disappointed with the new Travis album. Keane and Travis say they want to branch out and try new things. Hey, guys? Don’t. You were so awesome because of your respective signature sounds. Try new things in your garages, not the studio. What can I look forward to hearing now? Snow Patrol, anyone?
