Average Rating:
 Rating:  - rock in top formSuper melodic rock music. Love the lead singers voice, full, sensitive, forceful, satisfying. Elbow is the most underrated and unknown Brit-rock band.. and one of these days they'll break out to the masses, they deserve it. their live show is fantastic if you can catch it! Rating:  - This music is addictive...This is a cd where a song will get stuck in your head and you have to hear it 10 times before it goes away...don't worry though, the other songs take their turn.

As far as this album, I think its terrific. Pretty much every song is good, some of them being just brilliant. ...

And Guy Garvey's voice has never sounded better (for those of you still unsure, imagine Peter Gabriel meets Seal... but put to more acoustic fair). Lyrically this is as strong as anything they've ever done. If I was to direct any critisism it would be that the final 4 songs are on the slower side with the best of the bunch "My Very Best" amongst them. However, this doesn't make for a ... Read More |
