It's been a long time since I've fallen in love with an album this quickly and wholly.
It's been along time since I've found an album that I could simply sit and listen to, start to finish. I urge you to buy Elbow's 2004 release "Cast of Thousands".
Breathless lyrics over the top of gospel choruses with electronic bleeps may not be what you would expect to describe my new favorite band but this album is that well done. Every note, beat and word is perfectly placed, planned to evoke the deepest emotional response.
It succeeds.
It's pure indie rock, slower, heavier, deeper. Listen to it love it. I'll write more in a bit.

Alright...my Zen is ready to go with 'Buttons and Zips'. Let's see if this album makes all the work I've been putting off any better today.
