Keane: Perfect Symmetry
A Shoggoth on the Roof:
I wouldn't bother giving perfect symmetry a listen, I got it (digital copy) from a friend who told me they were really cool (I should have known when they said like radiohead with pianos)
I haven't heard any of their other stuff.
bubba2match:
Well... for those of you who have not heard it (i.e. all 98%), their last album was not bland at all. That was the problem. I went in, craving that wonderful semi-melancholy, semi-poppy sound of the previous two albums...and Keane betrayed me. They managed to record something that was...well...NOT bland. :x
I'm not ashamed to admit...my taste in music is very plain. Almost too plain. Like "church music" plain.
But enough about me. I want to know what you-all think about bands changing their styles. I guess it's bound to happen. Things change.
BLAH! You've had that happen, right?
Thrillho:
It really depends. A lot of the time I think people are stupid for scorning their favourite bands for a change of style, but then I am prone to doing the same thing on occasion, just not always. I love Wilco, Pink Floyd and Radiohead, all of whom went through many drastic reinventions, but some other bands (one in particular the name of which escapes me at this second) I've hated their transformations.
BeoPuppy:
Of course progress should be made by any band. However, if that band then makes music that I do not enjoy anymore I do feel sad. It's like a good friend moving away. For me that happened with Therapy? after Infernal Love, Tori Amos after her second album, Crimson Glory after their second ... and quite some more.
You know ... it's right to change. But I don't have to feel happy about it ...

Sometimes change is good! Like, Sgt. Pepper's good! Sometimes it's very bad! Like, The Transplants bad!
