Perfect Symmetry...

I want to sincerely apologize to Coldplay Inc. Some of my recent posts may have suggested Mr Paltrow & Co are the worst band on the face of the planet. They are not - at least not any more...

I'm not sure what drugs Keane are on - something stronger than the last aspirin induced rehab stint one feels... Today I downloaded the free teaser for the new album 'Perfect Symmetry' - a song appropriately called 'Spiralling' (downwards very fast!) Appalling is not a strong enough word to describe the 80's influenced slice of over-produced nonsense that lies somewhere between Phil Collins and Go-West...

I must congratulate their stylist though - getting a look that was in symmetry with how bad the music is must have been difficult...

laughing my ass off on this one.

I think it might be a good time to be in a band that actually 'get's it'. Just think, hipsters are probably giving each other copies of Phil Collins albums now, because there's nothing else left to be re-visited. Since no one's listening to it, it must be cool. I guess next up for re-evaluation is Huey Lewis? Or Bruce Hornsby?

If someone showed me that cover art, I'd fire them immediately and hire the first 12 year old I saw to make something better.
