Keane - Pefect Symmetry - (album) 2008.
A great batch of songs here from Keane. Every track has a real purpose and is performed with passion and feeling. Expertly mastered and mixed for maximum listening pleasure, there are few dull moments in the 50 minutes of playing. Better Than This (track 3) features almost Phil Collins style drumming in the middle, for a short section, helped along by the engineering. Perfect Symmetry (track 5) appears to be a response to terrorism (7/7 in particular) and religion. You Haven't Told Me Anything (track 4) is another of the albums triumps and an instant favourite, the closing vocals come through with ear catching pitch. Opening track Spiralling features more facinating lyrics, a trademark of this highly talented group, and punches through the speakers with great power. Keane have no fear of expressing their views in their music but do so in a constructive, thought provoking way. You Don't See Me (track 6) is a reminder of Chris de Burgh both lyrically and musically. Again And Again (track 7) is another classic song full of energy and superb vocals. Black Burning Heart (track 10) is heartfelt and fast, liking of it increases with every listening. In my opinion, the less interesting songs are The Lovers Are Losing (track 2) Playing Along (track 8) and Pretend That You're Alone (track 9). The 'lesser' songs are more than made up for by the sheer brilliance of the others featured around them. This fine album closes with Love Is The End (track 11), a quieter track of a more jazzy, reflective style and is a great way to close the record.

Classic, surprising, wonderful
This is a 'hidden' gem from an iconic band. Some of their very best material is right here on this fantastic album. Mick Fleetwood subtlety surprises at times with 'unFleetwood' - like drumming, the production is superb, Lindsay Buckingham provides edgy tracks with a unique feel and sound. Stevie Nicks is in great form providing her unique vocals across a number of wonderfully powerful tracks. The late great Christine McVie is also notably present at points, adding to the wonderful atmosphere of this collection of golden nuggets.
