Band of Horses - Infinite Arms


Ra Ra Riot - The Rhumb Line


Ok Go Self Titled


Kind of curious about that new Keane album as well didn't know they had a new one coming out. I thought that Perfect Symmerty was a step back from the first 2 great ones but am stoked about a new one anyway.

You are being more than a little kind to Perfect Symmetry. I don't care for the first single off the new album at all, either, but I'll still pick it up if Amazon offers the MP3 version on the cheap. I think they had PS at $3 on or around release date.

If you didn't care for Perfect Symmetry, then from what I've heard of the Night Train you're really not going to like it, either.

I, too, was hoping they'd go back to the sound of the earlier albums, but instead, they went even further out into left field with the new album. While I can't really fault them for wanting to try something new, at the same time, there's something to be said about continuing to please the audience you've already established. If you got people to like you because of a certain sound, maybe going off in a very different direction isn't the wisest of moves. Especially when you tried it on your last album and it didn't end up selling nearly as much.

Now that's not to say it's a bad album - just that's it's not what I think most folks are expecting, or hoping it would be.

I don't know if that's what you meant or not. I agree with you, they are really great.
Okay, it's only out digitally today (Tuesday, the 11th), I heard it was on iTunes but I haven't gone to buy it yet. It's also on NPR First Listen for a week starting today:

Loving the Sleigh Bells album, but have to admit I probably like it as much as I do because I saw them live twice. SO LOUD.

I had read that it was a departure from their 'sound' but I really like the new album, despite the first songs being the only dud, IMO.
