Rating: I must tell you first how I discovered Keane. I heard them through the famous commercial and honestly thought they were just another band that had made it with a hit and that's it, I listened to it out of curiosity. "Hope and Fears" wasn't just a little record, I liked it immediately. And honestly, not being a musician, I didn't notice the absence of guitars, I liked those guys, they were clever, I wore out the CD in the car. "Under the Iron Sea" with some beautiful songs ("is it any wonder" and "under the iron sea") was another very pleasant surprise and it's still in the car alongside Coldplay and REM.
Now I'm listening to this one and they've grown, damn if they've grown, he has a beautiful voice, this time they found the guitarist bassist and you can hear it.
It starts with "Spiralling" and it's a great beginning not in the Keane style with a nice bass riff and a pounding drum, it continues with "The lovers are losing" which is 100% Keane style. It goes on without missteps in my opinion with the gem of the album "perfect symmetry" and "Again & again," noteworthy are "black burning heat" and the ballad "love is the end," in short, a great album in my opinion and in certain passages Chaplin's voice reminds me of the great Freddy and they in certain passages sound like Queen (I'm not crazy in "You don't see me" and "perfect symmetry").
In my opinion, they know how to mix many styles to create a very personal one.
In short, I disagree with Noel Gallagher who called the album shit, (by the way, it's No.1. in the UK knocking off Oasis themselves). "Perfect Symmetry" is an album that flows beautifully and when you're done, you press "play" again.
Moreover, you can listen to the samples on their website.
Enjoy listening. (ah, it's my first one) sorry.

Ooo!
Ooo!
I'm waiting for my moment to come
I'm waiting for the movie to begin
I'm waiting for a revelation
I'm waiting for someone to count me in
Cos now I only see my dreams
In everything I touch
Feel their cold hands on
Everything that I love
Cold like some
Magnificent skyline
Out of my reach but
Always in my eyeline now
We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling
I fashioned you from jewels and stone
I made you in the image of myself
I gave you everything you wanted
So you would never know anything else
But everytime I reach for you
You slip through my fingers
Into cold sunlight
Laughing at the things
That I had planned
The map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here
Pulling at the loose threads now
We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling
When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
Did you wanna be a winner?
Did you wanna be an icon?
Did you wanna be famous?
Did you wanna be the president?
Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
Did you wanna be in love?
I never saw the light
I never saw the light
I waited up all night
But i never saw the light
When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling
We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

Uuh!
Uuh!
Estou esperando a vinda do meu momento
Estou esperando o filme começar
Estou esperando uma revelação
Estou esperando por alguém pra me incluir
Porque agora só vejo meus sonhos, em tudo que toco
Sinto a mão fria deles, em tudo que amo
Frio como algum magnífico horizonte
Fora do meu alcance mas agora sempre no meu olhar
Nós estamos desmoronando
Nós estamos girando em espiral
Amarrados ao chão
Nós estamos girando em espiral
Te vesti de jóias e pedras
Eu te fiz na imagem de mim mesmo
Eu dei tudo que você queria
Assim você nunca saberia de mais nada
Mas toda vez que tento te pegar, você escapa entre meus dedos
Até a fria luz do sol, rindo das coisas
Que eu havia planejado, o mapa do meu mundo fica
menor enquanto eu sento aqui, puxando essas linhas soltas agora
Nós estamos desmoronando
Nós estamos girando em espiral
Amarrados ao chão
Nós estamos girando em espiral
Você queria ser um vencedor?
Você queria ser um ícone?
Você queria ser famoso?
Você queria ser o presidente?
Você queria começar uma Guerra?
Você queria ter uma família?
Você queria estar apaixonado?
Você queria estar apaixonado?
Quando nos apaixonamos
Estamos apenas
Apaixonados por nós mesmos
Nós estamos girando em espiral
Nós estamos desmoronando
Nós estamos girando em espiral
Amarrados ao chão
Nós estamos girando em espiral
Uuh!
Uuh!

This 'Perfect Symmetry' album positions itself in the discography of the British band as the most classic of transitional albums.
The album opens with one of Keane’s most beautiful and surprising songs, the first single 'Spiralling' (synth pop very, very kitschy).
