Special Features

 

  • Epic post-rock tinged emotional indie stalwarts Elbow release their fourth album 'The Seldom Seen Kid', another staunch and anthemic collection of songs. The tense and emotional sound of previous records remains, but with a distinctly more commercial riff-based template, particularly on lead single 'Grounds For Divorce'. The band produced the record themselves, as with previous records, lending it a homespun quality that would be out of synch with any external influence. Revered by their peers as a reliably independent act, Elbow have created a subtly innovative extension of their sound and scope with 'The Seldom Seen Kid'.

I have to say, I really don't understand reviewers who call this album 'boring'. I can only assume they don't have a heart, any emotions or have ever been in love.

I've never been so affected by an album as this one and it's quite an experience. Each track is beautiful in it's own way, the melodies are great but the lyrics hit home like a hammer. They cover all aspects of life and love- a song that suddenly reminds him of ex-love; the naked admission that anything important he has to do would come second-place to spending time with his partner; etc.

If you're in love or ever been in love, this album will touch you.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars How can you give this a poor rating????

What a record. I broke my other one when i sat on it so waiting for delivery. I can't understand the negative reviews here, it's crazy! This is a fantastic album by a fantastic band. Anyone who looks at this really needs to buy it. You won't be dissappointed!!
