Top notch - By: Dan Branford, 02 Aug 2008 
What a great album! By far & away their best, before they succumbed to Coldplay-type anthems on Seldom Seen Kid. Every track a winner, but "Very best" is well titled. Enjoy! Anyone that can get Stockport Supporters Club into the lyrics of a ballad is alright by me!!
cracking album - By: byron lad, 12 Jun 2008 What an amazing album from Elbow. It really has got the lot. Instrumentally it is fantastic, the lyrics are witty, subtly clever. Just a great listen that improves with regular listens. Definitely an album to listen to from start to finish. You really need all the tracks, so if you're thinking of downloading just a couple of songs please think again.
A year or so on. - By: A. Wilson, 24 Oct 2007 Great expectations is the greatest song ever written. Given that I love Elliott Smith it's hard for me to admit, but it washes over & stirrs the emotions like no other. An album of sheer brilliance.
Bury's finest since black pudding. - By: Juan Kerr, 18 Jul 2007 After the anthemic Red, powder blue & newborn from Asleepin the back fugitive motel & crawling with idiots from Cast of thousands,i found L.O.T.F.W to be a slower album, but it is a grower, & more often than not, they end up being your favourites.
In my opinion, I am Kloot, Puressence & Elbow are the finest bands of the last 10 years to originate from the North West of this septic isle.
"These feelings belong in a zoo..." - By: turkey_baster, 08 Jun 2007 I don't know how to do this album justice. It is breathtakingly beautiful, with Mr Garvey seemingly effortlessly finding poetryin the everyday. Finding the cast of a wedding ceremony on the last bus home (great expectations), giving the best description of a bouncer you'll ever hear (forget myself) or drunkenly falling for a random girlin a bar (imagined affair). The whole album feels like a story & its one I don't tire of. I can't recommend it highly enough.
