ReviewsRanked #6 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The lyrics may be downbeat, but musically there's all sorts of festival-friendly, stomach-clenching brightness...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Opening track 'Atlantic' has dark, dreamy quality they haven't displayed hitherto, 'Broken Toy' is jazzy and swoonsome...and 'Hamburg Song' is a gorgeously wistful ballad...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "With lovely, piano-driven sounds....UNDER THE IRON SEA boasts an embarrassment of melodic riches...", "UNDER THE IRON SEA coats the group's typically hand-wringing lyrics with layers of symphonic embellishment." -- Grade: A-, 3 stars out of 5 -- "With bigger doses of atmospheric keyboard...it offers some of the same tuneful pleasures of the debut, with big-voiced Tom Chaplin digging into his big bag of swooping choruses."
