I just purchased the new Keane record. As I am not an expert of Keane Discography I cannot compare this album to anything but the CD I currently own, Hopes and Fears. Except that comparing the new album to Hopes and Fears is almost like comparing two vastly different things; one might even say that it is like comparing apples and oranges, but at least they are both fruit.
While I exaggerate the difference between the two, the earlier songs on the CD completely different than their previous records. They use synthesizers extensively in these, which they rarely did in their first album (Hopes and Fears).Because of this the mood is very different. And while the lyrics focus around love and stuff. Perfect Symmetry has a different personality, less "emo," one might say.
On this album even guitars are used which, once again is a departure from the original sound.
I am very happy that Keane has continued to evolve, even within the time span of only 3 albums. Especially with the success of their first album, it would be difficult to change their sound.
