Beautiful melodys, amazing lyrics and the best voice in music!!! I thought Hopes and Fears could not be surpassed but Under the Iron Sea has done this. In a time where we are plagued with fad bands ie The Arctic Monkeys, who cant sing a note and probably wont be around in a year because every song sounds the same, Keane are a breath of fresh air. Real music which has real depth and emotion!! Keep it going lads.

A great follow-up to a fantastic debut. "A Bad Dream" and "Leaving So Soon" stand out for me, whilst even the slower songs like "Hamburg Song" have their own appeal. True, it isn't much darker in sound (only lyrically), but this is nevertheless a fantastically pleasant album, with just the one filler song. This will probably end up being the most underrated album of 2006...Shame that three-chord emo rock has taken over from the truly enchanting melodies that real bands, such as Keane, consistently churn out. Wonderful stuff.

Poor, really. Better than the first one at least

For the record i don´t like Keane (i don´t really know why but i guess it´s the same reason as razorlight they get overplayed and i don´t like either´s vocies) but this album is amazing! If rufus wainwright or any alternative artist did this album you would be on it like flys to dog sh*t! But because it´s Keane oh lets slag them off cos they are popular and from a major and blah blah blah! This album is much more musical then the first has also got a lot of dynamic range, yes sometimes mellodramatic (rufus wainwright & Anthony and the johnsons do the same!) The singles which have been released are not my favourites of here but the album as a such is very strong! This album has surpised me and i feel Keane can grow into a better band after the differcult second album, infact when their third comes out i will buy their next one! As this album impressed me a lot! The only album in it´s field i would recommend its the guillermots! This should have had the same score in my opinion! Oh well it is only opinions!
