Close the book now, the album of the year has just been released. It’s just too good.
From the first to the last there’s not much anyone with ears and the ability to hear could possibly complain about. The five year hiatus has been frustrating, but now the moment has arrived every minute of this album proves it has been worth the wait.
Not only have I already lost Elbow to the public at large, but now my beloved Doves are about to be taken. Call me a music snob but I hate it when every man and his dog jumps on the bandwagon. Who next? Surely not the Super Furry Animals. Thankfully I think they’ll always remain a bit too leftfield.
