Free Music Notes for Under the Iron Sea
Free Music Review: WOW
Hit: 5 Stars
A few of the tracks (if not most) don't sound like any song that I've ever heard in my life! This album is different from HOPES AND FEARS but if you are a true fan, you MUST get this album. Favorite tracks: Crystal Ball, Try Again (I wish they would release the duet with Rufus Wainwright), The Frog Prince, Nothing in my Way, A Bad Dream, and Hamburg Song (listen to how Tom uses his voice!)Cannot wait for their next album!Free Music Review: AMAZING
Hit: 5 Stars
Basically the title of my review says it all... You will NOT be dissapointed!! Seriously, I can't come up with the words to describe how amazing this album is (not to mention Keane being amazing in itself!)!! Buy the album and support this amazingly unique and beautiful band!!!! :)Free Music Review: Talent at it's best
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not a musician but as an old groover just past 50 I really love the words and great vocal on this extrodinary album. Yes they still make 'em like they used to, you just have to have patient! The one problem I have is how it is packaged. Am I that out of the loop that a band does not have to include in the multiple panels on the liner notes one single photo of the folks who are in the band? What is the mystery? Kind of like to SEE who the people are making the music. Also I realize CDs do not have the great expase that 12x 12 albums had, but can we at least have one paragraph about the band, where they are from, etc. Kripe the names of the guys in the band are 7point grey type in a light weight typeface at the bottom next to the copyright date. What the--?
Good/great music should have decently designed liner notes! One thing to be understated and another to be
obscure. Keep up the great music guys!!!

Having listened to this album quite a bit over the past few weeks, and having read many reviews of the band (including many on this site), I have to laugh at a few things:
1. Is there one, single, solitary, recently-popular alt/rock band to which Keane does NOT draw comparison? Seriously, randomly choose a band that fits this simple description and then scroll down these reviews looking for a reference to that band... Didn't take long, did it? Don't know that I mean this as criticism; I guess I just find it a bit droll.
2. Also, scroll down and count the number of times you find phrases like "Stadium Rock." Interesting... With few exceptions, Keane's music doesn't strike me as "rock" any more than (here I go, too) Coldplay's. Add to this the fact that the band doesn't employ a single guitar, and (innovative as this may make them), I can't help but think such hyperbolic praise of their sound to be akin to calling a tepid rainstorm a hurricane. And, sorry to quibble, but later this month, in Berkeley, Keane is playing the Community Theater - not the Greek, and certainly not the stadium up the street.
This isn't to say Keane's not good; on the contrary, they're very good, and I'm quite intrigued by them. No doubt, I'll be even more intrigued after seeing them live, and I will eagerly anticipate they're next album.
Still, call me conservative, but it just feels a bit early to be crowning these guys as the next coming of U2... or Coldplay... or The Killers... or Queen... or ... Well, you get the picture.
Free Music Review: Good album, repetitive songs
Hit: 4 Stars
Other than the fact that they are a bit similar, all the songs are here are really catchy and fun to sing along with. Bad Dream is pretty good.
