Typical Elbow. But it's a return to form, the last one wasnt as good as the first 2.

enjoying chunks of this, but there's a handful of songs i can't get into just yet...

the album takes a while to really get going too

If it sounds like Leaders I surely will love it.

Guys just got back from the Sheffield gig. Was awesome. Brilliant band live, lots of energy. guy was well up for it all the way through. It's probably made me a fan proper.

yeah, they are fantastic live... first time i saw them open for Doves in '02 they blew my mind. i enjoyed the first record, but wasn't prepared for how good they were live.

have loved the 2 shows i've seen since as well. even though i'm not super into this new record just yet, still pretty stoked for their gig at the end of the month.

Did I mention Richard Hawley came out to play 2 songs with them too?

psychobain · **Posted:** Mon Apr 14, 2008 7:24 pm

he appears on the album also (The Fix)
which other song?

OmegaprimeVKM · **Posted:** Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:42 pm

He came out to play on the closing song Grace Under Pressure. Definitely not my favourite Elbow song.

Starlings is a nice opener

They opened with it that day, Live it was really cool, very very loud trumpet blasts.
