About this album

Interscope (2008) Released: 14 Oct 2008 22 tracks (99:48)
Perfect Symmetry is the third studio album by English rock band Keane, released on 13 October 2008 in the United Kingdom. The album’s title was released on 31 July 2008. The band had completely transformed their look and their new album was said to be also very unexpected. According to international Island Records manager, Jon Turner, “the general international feel is of excitement and “Spiralling” is a favourite track of the US company.”

Musically, Perfect Symmetry is a departure from Keane’s established piano-pop sound, with the band employing guitars for the first time since their early musical beginnings and a larger reliance on synthesizers than their previous effort Under the Iron Sea, as well as experimenting with other instruments such as the musical saw, saxophone and string arrangements. Also most notable is the emergence of a 1980s’ synth pop-influenced style on most songs such as “Spiralling” and “Again and Again”. The album is the result of a more relaxed and creative recording process in comparison to the tense sessions for Under the Iron Sea. One of the only piano-driven songs on the album is the track of the same name. Jesse Quin joined Keane from this album as a studio and live support member. He became an official member 3 years later.

The cover for the album was revealed on 5 September.

    Yes, it's true that it's different from the other 2 albums, but it stills saves Keane essence.

    I STILL feel like the people who reject this album get caught up in the sound. Really listen to the lyrics and you'll realize it's some of the deepest, more mature stuff they've ever written!

    This album is pretty good but I'd rather they move away from this style.

    Masterpiece? faut quand meme pas exagerer. Il y a quelques bons titres dessus (The Lovers Are Losing, Perfect Symmetry, Again And Again), mais pour le reste les 2 premiers albums sont bien meilleurs. Au moins ils sont coherents dans leur style, apres on peut ne pas aimer le son et la musique de ce groupe.

    I remember being disappointed by this album when it was released.. "Spiralling" promised more than this.

    certainly not their best

  • RoomForSymmetry

    Definitely my favorite album. I still love H&F AND UTIS, but this one has a lot of personal significance to me, as it came out during a pretty rough patch in my life...and most certainly helped me get through it

    I don't care of what anyone says, this kicks Hopes and Fears's ass, and I love Hopes and Fears
