Great album! calb16 is right as per the Guardian article. Mr. Garvey said lower case is where it's at ;-)

Yeah, time to get rid of those lowercased tags. It wasn't fun.

OMG it's elbow, not Elbow... can't you see it? :p These lowercased tags are so ridiculous...

They seem to be channeling the Beta Band on this album - and that is in no way a criticism!!

@calb16 Think Guy's maybe taking the piss a bit, there.

@celticshk because that's how the tracks are on the album sleeve. As Guy says here (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/dec/23/elbow-announce-new-album) - "Elbow's fifth album will be called build a rocket boys! – "lowercase, with an exclamation mark," Garvey said. "Very important, that.""

Once again. Sheer class. Good job 'boys'

celticshk
Why do the song names become all lowercase? FAIL!

OK ...I've listened to the whole album 4 or 5 times now and it is most definitely a grower. My fav tracks: Lippy Kids "..i never perfected the simian stroll...do they know those days are golden...", a delicate little song. Understated like the band. Also Dear Friends "....you are the stars I navigate home by...". Turn up the volume / bass at 3:03...possibly the best song ever by Elbow...IMHO.

melinda, you make it sound like they are the epitome of dadrock, LOL.

The reason I love Elbow is that every album is a surprise. I've been a long time fan of elbow and I really like the fact that this album is full of tiny delicate keys, bass and strings lines/melodies that acturally make a huge impact on a song as a whole. The production of this album is fantastic, every instrument and key change is considered. Again shows what an incedible bunch of musicians Elbow are. Guy's voice and lyrics as ever are mature and beautiful.

A much more understated album than TSSK, more akin to their first two. I'm not so sure as many songs from this album would feature in my 'favourite Elbow songs' list as their last, but it's still a great listen, and possibly flows better as a whole. And Guy's lyrics are as brilliantly poetic as usual. :)

Although I like Seldom Seen Kid a lot, I love the fact that Elbow has gone 'back' at least for one album to the intimacy that I felt when I bought Asleep in the Back in 2001. It's better, a more consistent album, even then Cast Of Thousands, my former favorite.
