I absolutely loved both Hot Fuss and Sam's Town, although I found the former immediate and the latter took some time to bite. With Sam's Town in mind I perservered with this album for several listens. First time around I was mortified, thinking what the hell was this rubbish, could this be the same band who made Somebody Told Me and When You Were Young. At this point I would have gone for the 1-star review option.
However, like Sam's Town I gave it a few more spins and soon I was hooked. After about 10 goes I would say that the first 5 or so tracks are of a truly high quality. They are not immediate, grab-you-by-the-throat tunes like Mr Brightside. They are growers which reveal their depths with time. Like Sam's Town there ... Read More:

Amazon don't let you review them, so here is the best place for me to review them.
When buying from Amazon, you are actually buying this from a Jersey Company "Indigostarfish". This album (labeled NEW) was not not plastic wrapped (as new discs should be) and the case was scratched and well used. The CDs themselves were in good condition.
As of the music itself, this is a good album worthy of 4 stars. (3stars from Amazon)
If you liked the other two live lounges, you must buy this. And, alternatively, if you like this, buy the other two albums.

other people have mentioned strangely missing 'greatest hits' tracks. but what about "Since I told you it's over" - heart-wrenching uber-pop somehow ended on the cutting room floor. Odd to say the least.

I loved Hopes & Fears before eventually tiring of it after a few months and thought Under the Iron Sea had superb high points with the odd filler thrown in.
I bought this album confident that there would be at least 3 or four tracks to throw on my ipod playlist.
Perfect Symmetry has totally surpassed all my expectations. Keane have produced a depth to this recording which changes my previous view that they are throw-away artists who wrote only decent if disposable music.
The opener Spiralling took me by surprise and I have to admit that i initially thought it was horrible - a trashy "Wooh" introducing a tacky 80s-tinged riff. However this track has wormed its way into my brain, it's so irresistably catchy and even compelling. It just sounds ... Read More:

This, for me personally is my favourite Coldplay album yet.
I think they're finding their sound, expressing their personality and experimenting on this album making it much more interesting, daring and individual than X&Y and even A rush of Blood.
I like this new, evolving nature in Coldplay, more of the same please!

I once heard an interview where Noel Gallagher proclaimed that Oasis, in his opinion, were in the top 3 of bands of all time. On this, and several other albums worth of evidence, it is quite clear that they aren't anywhere near the top 3 of Manchester bands! to say this album is a bit 'samey' is a 'massive' understatement! I was going to re-name them status quoasis, but that would be a great insult to status quo! I would advise anyone to borrow this album before buying, I wish I had, i'd be £8.99 better off now!!
