this is music!!! - By: AJ, 16 Mar 2006 
i cant believe i hear this album now! having recently bought the brilliant Leaders Of The Free World I wanted to discover Elbow. Then I listened to Cast Of Thousands next which i included in my top 10 album list. but then I listened to this album & I was totallly knocked off my feet! I just love it. this is music! reading other reviews I was deeply dissapointed they were compared to other bands. some of the reviews which compare elbow to say coldplay would have put off buying this record. If u like music then get alll the albums by Elbow. Another band I thought I should recommend is I Am Kloot.
In my top 10 list of all time - By: Mr. K. M. SYMONS D'SOUZA, 23 Jul 2005 This album is one of the most exceptional albums of the new millenium. Its completely different to anything ive ever heard. Elbow are an experimental-indie band & their sound is completely fresh & original.
All the tracks are great & are beautifully structured. From the lovely any day now to the sublime scattered balck & whites.
my favourite tracks are coming second, any day now, scattered balck & whites, red, dont mix your drinks. every track is a gem including the 7 minute epic single, newborn.
With this album you get 60+ minutes of sublime music. Listen & enjoy. Although it wont be your favourite on first listen you'll appreciate eventuallly. Get their second album also. its great.
If you want to think - By: Matt, 08 Feb 2005 I was attracted to this album after hearing a shortened version of newborn on an acoustic album. At first this was the only track that i listened to but then i was graduallly drawn in to the beauty of tracks like 'powderblue' with its wonderfully compelling lyrics. If you alllow it to this album will take you over with every track becoming a must listen. This band are much underated for how good they are.
sublime... - By: , 01 Feb 2005 totallly soaring & beautiful. no one should be without this album to see them through times when it seems things can't get any worse. it's not a happy album but it never fails to make the listener feel that things are going to be ok. hope flies through as a sparkling undertone to the downbeat songs with an effect that is ultimately soothing.
Elbow - Asleep in the Back - By: , 11 Jan 2005 If you like this genre of music, it is an essential purchase.
