..since I know there's already an existing thread dedicated to them.🙂

🙄
Well, I did try searching—nothing came up, not even in the previous discussions.
Where is this thread supposed to be?
🙂

P.S. The US media is calling this band the successors to Maroon 5, though if you ask me—subjectively speaking—they're actually better. The lyrics are great and the music videos are so creative.
🙂

The search function on this forum is completely useless.

I actually tried using the search bar, but they aren't even listed in the thread everyone's been arguing about.
Where is that topic located?

The successors to Maroon 5... that sounds promising.😬

Man, forget Maroon 5... personally, I’m way more into Radiohead
especially Hopes and Fears—that track "Everybody's Changing" is everything.

I haven't actually sat down to listen to Under the Iron Sea yet—but man, that first album is unforgettable. It always pulls me into this strange headspace, just a completely different world...
For me, Bedshaped is the standout from the debut, though honestly, the whole record hits home.
I gave Is It Any Wonder and Crystal Ball a spin too; they're definitely a different vibe, but I didn't hate them.
They don't really fit into that typical pop band mold,
not at all like Blue or the Backstreet Boys...
Personally, I think they're even better than Maroon 5—their vocals just have more soul...

So why did the guy admit he was doing drugs? 😬

Honestly, I’m kind of over Maroon 5 lately—just totally burnt out. Now I’ve been stuck on a massive Radiohead loop instead. Can't wait for the new album this summer.

So, what do you guys think of the new Perfect Symmetry album?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but that track Spiralling powerful is absolutely insane. I’ve always liked them, but now I’m totally obsessed! 😍

This album is killer—total dance vibes with a massive 80s throwback feel.
My absolute favorites have gotta be The lovers are losing, Spiralling, Better Than this, Perfect Symmetry, and Again and again I pretend that you're alone.

Isn't the frontman a total brat?😕

So wait, how many tracks are actually on it? 😁

I think I first discovered Radiohead about four years ago, if my memory serves me right... and honestly, I was absolutely floored. I ended up picking up Hopes and Fears pretty much immediately, and even now, I still find it to be nothing short of perfect. As for their second album, Under the Iron Sea... well, I have to say, I found it rather disappointing, as simple as that. I suppose I really ought to track down the third one next.

But that second album, Under the Iron Sea? Ugh... honestly, just a huge letdown. I guess I'll have to pick up the third one next.

Look, if you're hoping this new record is going to be the next Hopes and Fears, you're gonna be disappointed. There aren't any sob stories here—just dance tracks.

Been spinning Radiohead and their old classics like Hopes and Fears and Under the Iron Sea, so I was pretty stoked to finally dive into the new album, Perfect Symmetry 🙂 And honestly? It’s killer. They’ve still got that magic they've always had. I'm genuinely obsessed 🙂 For me, the absolute standouts are Spiralling (hands down #1 on the tracklist, there's just this vibe to it that I can't even put into words, so I've just been looping it constantly 🙂, then Lovers, Better Than this, you haven't told me anything, Perfect Symmetry, and Pretend that you're alone. They’re definitely shaking things up with this one—it feels more upbeat, less bogged down by those heavy ballads from the older records, and the whole sound is a bit different. Listening to it makes me wish they'd just tour the US and play a massive show somewhere; who knows, maybe one day... if they do, I am 100% snagging a spot in the front row, right against the stage, haha 😁
Perfect Symmetry is a total win 🙂 Go give it a listen!

Perfect Symmetry... absolutely brilliant. 👍

Since I'm a massive Keane fan, I was thinking about making a quick trip over to London for their show at Madison Square Garden on 2/13.
Just wondering if there are any other fans in here—anyone else planning to head out? 🙂

Not really my thing at all. I mean, I listen to plenty of other bands in that same vein, though.

They're alright enough👍 — honestly, it would be pretty incredible if they invited a bunch of similar acts to one of our festivals, you know? I’m talking about everyone from Franz Ferdinand, to Coldplay, Radiohead, and The Strokes👍😁😁😁

Good grief, is it actually possible that nobody is planning on hitting this concert?
Anyone else? 😲 😢

Same.

They weren't really anything special to me before—but man, that last album totally changed things. "Perfect Symmetry" is just phenomenal. I haven't heard anything that good in a long time.
Plus, the music video is killer. That latest record sounds so incredibly polished.
