If you are thinking about the standard release or spending a couple of pound more on this then go for this, you won't regret it. Such great value, obviously the album is here in all its greatness and then you get the DVD which has a great making of documentary, a short film, music vid and making of and then basically the whole album in either demo or early live format from last year. All this and its presented in a gorgeous book style packaging. Highly recmommended.

Since their first and last album in 2004, Keane has seemed to evolve musically and emotionally as a band. Even though some of the songs appear upbeat at first, they hide darker lyrics. "Is it any wonder?" is the best example. The whole CD creates a dense atmosphere as if one was swimming in very thick water or an Iron Sea. Fortunally it gets softer by the end, unlike Hopes & Fears that ended with Bedshaped and a need to play again Somewhere only we know. The DVD is very interesting and and shows some of the creative process and live performances. An excellent choice for any Keane fan.

I have listened to this album hundreds of times now and am still finding new emotional depths and nuances. If Hopes & Fears was Keane's suite of optimistic, romantic teenage bittersweet songs then Under the Iron Sea is much darker and deeper - conveying a dive under the sea in a bathyscape with its lyrics of alienation, despair, suffocation within oneself, betrayal, longing, regret. The variety of tracks is impressive, from the gorgeous, heart-wrenching Hamburg Song to the rock-out that is Is it Any Wonder? My personal favourite is Leaving So Soon? The soaring vocals are breathtaking. Tim Rice-Oxley is a master songwriter and keyboardist, and Tom Chaplin has such a pure achingly beautiful voice. In spite of all the darkness and emotional pain of the album (mirroring real life experiences), the final track suggests a re-surfacing into the world of light and laughter. Best album of 2006.

UNDER THE IRON SEA
Do like Keane, but not keen on one of the instrumentals. Won't stop me listening to the rest of the tracks though.

Fantastic
Some amazing songs on here...love "Hamburg Song" in particular, but there is a good mix of upbeat and ballads. Highly recommend this to any Keane fans out there.

brilliant music, cheap edition
I love the music but the cd arrived in a cheap cartoon-like eco friendly case, which is not bad but I wanted the real deal with the booklet.

Good album but DVD not continuous-play
The album is very good, but unlike the special edition of Hopes & Fears we get a DVD here that, due to the format of the tracks, cannot be played continuously. Read more

Keane
Bought this because when I was younger I had a few of their songs and fancied listening to some of their new stuff. I was pleasantly surprised! This album is awesome! :)
