They've been quite disappointing for me since this album. Heard them first here on RP, love this album, by far. But since? Not so much.

Great album - a thematic one that rewards listening straight through. Still clear it should not have won the Mercury Prize award over Radiohead's In Rainbows however!

You won the bet. I ended up watching all 59 minutes and 2 seconds of another video of that concert. Great performance! Thanks for the link. |

He could have said "There's a bar I can't pass", but instead he went for something a little bit more complex to capture the helplessness of the addiction. Freaking sweet.

Or a Sunday morning with a screwdriver. Never a bad time to listen to this band(and have a cocktail) "Drinking in the morning sun.....winking in the morning sun" |

I think I started really disliking Elbow when a friend had the album on at a party. Wasn't a huge fan anyway, then they left the album on to repeat in its entirety three times. Who does that?!!?
