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 includedin my top 10 album list. but then I listened to this album & I was totally 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 all 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 eventually. 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 gradually drawnin to the beauty of tracks like 'powderblue' with its wonderfully compelling lyrics. If you allow 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 totally 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.
