| Keane's new CD "Symmetry" takes the band in a slightly different direction from their previous discs. The beautiful melodies, melancholy atmosphere, and beautiful piano of their earlier CD's are replaced on Symmetry by an 80's-type sound with new wave synthesizers and a more peppy, upbeat feel. The CD really takes me back to MTV of the early 80's. After several listens I can say that I like "Symmetry", especially because it's always such a pleasure to hear Tom Chaplin sing. But fans of the band's ... Read More: |

| Great Oasis's disc are generally consistent from top to bottom. They also have a great, "can't live without" type single as well. The second LP was chock full of them and the last one had a great one in "Lyla". This CD doesn't have a truly great single type standout track. However, one should not pass this CD up because it is generally strong from top to bottom. The use of tamboura is a nice touch. These guys know how to make strong records and this one is no exception.

| While it doesn't exactly transcend Parachutes, this is a very decent sophomore effort. Sure it's mopey; sure it's resigned. That's the whole point. The question then becomes, how well does it achieve its goal to mope you out? Well, as it turns out it's pretty damn effective in that department.
Most of the songs are mid-tempo, with lots of dynamic shifts and volume-tweaking. Coldplay have been criticized as being Radiohead Lite (for one thing) but that isn't really true. Coldplay is a ... Read More: |

| I am a big, bif fan of Urban Hymns and was so excited to see a new release from the Verve. Just brilliant work again from these guys. If you are a Verve fan you must get this! Just love the mix of guitars, strings and piano on the songs. It is different from other Verve albums but I recommend it highly. |

| Don't let the 3 star rating fool you. I love Radiohead. In fact, I think a few songs on here are among my favorite of their whole discography.
However, I can't quite say the same over the majority of the album. To me as more of a listener, I don't try exploring all the little nooks and crannies of albums a lot of times and, perhaps and probably, as a result, I really couldn't and still can't see the massive appeal this album brings. Is it junk? Hardly. But I don't believe it deserves ... Read More: |

| Travis have never released a record on the same level as "Good Feeling" in terms of sheer rockiness. With the release and subsequent skyrocket to success of "The Man Who", Travis made their name as a Britpop quartet that put out unoffensive, melodically beautiful guitar songs, and with their follow up, "The Invisible Band", which housed the ever-popular track "Sing", they only secured their foothold in that musical niche. However, "12 Memories", which included some of Travis' darkest and most lyrically edgy material to date, suffered ... Read More: |

| Atmospheric. Haunting. I find it difficult to describe Elbow's THE SELDOM SEEN BOY without falling back on vaporous language that neither describes nor illuminates. But, simply, put this is one of the most interesting albums I've listened to in quite a long time.
THE SELDOM SEEN BOY is a magnificently produced indie album that just manages to avoid being over done. The keyboards are just right, the orchestration is spot on. I found many of the gentle rhythms and melodies to be almost hypnotic. This isn't an album ... Read More: |

| One great song after another. This was the first album I heard for radiohead, so I went and bought all the other albums expecting them to be the same style as this one, I was disappointed.
All the other albums were a bit weird and no where near this one. So I advise you if your new to this band make this album be the first. |
