Keane - Perfect Symmetry

Keane.

After the release of their two previous singles ‘Spiralling’ and ‘The Lovers are Losing’, Keane seemed to have taken a positive new direction with their music.

This single, however, proves a disappointing four minutes with Keane reverting back to their old ways. Maybe it’s a grower or maybe it’s just a good example of how many bands third single flops. The lyrics tend to drone on and don’t seem to make much sense but it does pick up slightly towards the chorus and there are thirty seconds towards the middle that are surprisingly good. The lowest point is the choir style singing toward the end with some more dull and tedious droning that eventually fades out. To be honest as always with Keane, you’ll either love it or hate it.

Score: 40%
