[Madyokel]

Well I did it.

Spent my birthday money and bougt 2 Elbow albums (plus something I guess noodle will like)

Bought SSKid and "Build a rocket Boys!"

I like buying stuf to listen to in the runup to G..

As it stands the only nailed will be Elbow before U2..

I wonder how many of these efesters (including my self) will be watching Elbow again this year....

It was one of the best performances I've seen at Glasto.

[Lentus]

Open arms could be the track of Glastonbury this year, absolutely epic stuff. Glad the album lives up to everything I hoped.

I think Guy is gonna be swingin' for the bleachers at Glasto mate. If "Powder Blue" wasnt played at the recent show with 800 stiffs it ain't gonna be played in front of Fri night revellers at Glasters.

[Lentus]

'Stiffs'?! Members of the Elbow mailing list maybe! I didn't see may stiffs in Cambridge on Wednesday, just loads of obsessive fans. We got there half an hour before the played and you could hardly move then!

We all want them to play Powder Blue, but Guy's voice just cannot get that high these days (apparently) I would love them to play The Stops and Cant Stop but it wont happen. I think they the reason they do not play stuff from the first two albums isnt because they do not want to but because Guys voice has changed over the last few years and he cannot make those hight notes - he struggled with Weasther to Fly a bit the other night I thought

Love the new album, still love the Birds!

[4AssedMonkey]

What's up with his voice? Too many pints and tabs?

Quite liking the new album,

The Birds has got glasto set opener written all over it

[olliet101]

I'm still calling Dear Friends my favourite track of the album, what a way to finish it, the harmonies at the end are so beautiful but it is so simply mesmerising throughout, if it gets played at the O2 or Glasto (which seems unlikely looking at the Cambridge set-list), I will cry.

Loving the birds too

The opened with it in Cambridge, I wasnt too sure for the first couple of minutes but it kept building up and building up into an epic. Sounded really good live

[russycarps]

Gave the new album a few listens last night. Only 2 or maybe 3 songs match up to their older stuff in my opinion.

Maybe it'll be a grower. But there are a couple on there that are really poor. Never thought I'd skip songs on an elbow album.

[Mardy]

I've only got into them recently, probably a year or two ago.

New album sounds fine, same as the last.

The problem is, I know they're good, I can see they're talented, I sort of get it, but they don't really excite me. There's none of that dashing home from the shops clutching the new album, desperate to listen to it. I don't get that giddy, manic thrill that I feel I should. Like them, like them a lot, but not in an instinctive gut feeling way.

[russycarps]

I think they are music you listen to when you are in a certain mood. Not the sort of stuff you can listen to any time, any where

possibly that's why you didnt feel a massive urge to rush home and play it, you werent in an elbow frame of mind

I know what I mean anyway!

Sorry, but that was me yesterday!

Are there any albums that make you do that mate? Apart from Take That obv.

[Lentus]

Really? Only one listen but I don't like that. It's the sound of a band trying too hard, like they all sat down and tried to write a singalong for big gigs, because "we need a sequel to On A Day Like This". It's too obvious and they're better than that

[Lentus]

For me they have been writing those sing along songs since before "a day like this", station approach, grace under preasure for example.

[dingbat2]

Great feeling that, isn't it? Love it. Nice one.
