Editorial Review: Album Description: Debut release by melancholy Bury indie band. Their acousticsong structures and lush production work have drawn comparisons with Doves and Radiohead. Features songs from the 'New Born' and 'Any Day Now' EPs and the top 40 single 'Red'. Amazon.com: Asleep in the Back, Elbow's frighteningly competent debut album, presents 11 tracks of rain-sodden misery blown up into the breed of gracefully elegiac fatalism that once formed the essence of, say, Joy Division. Elbow's foggy psychedelic swirl and sewer-deep dub bass lines might recall the prog-rock indulgences of Radiohead, but their grievances are unmistakably aired from the far end of a welfare line. "Any Day Now" veritably fidgets with small-town frustration, with lead singer Guy Garvey (a man with the voice of an angel and the face of a brickie) repeatedly hissing a mantra of desperation: "Any day now / How's about getting out of this place / Anyways?" Should we take it as a given that Elbow will break out of this rut of depression and despair? Asleep in the Back is good enough to suggest so, while also suggesting that fate can be awfully cruel. --Louis Pattison Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - introducing ElbowElbow's first, best (to date), most interesting, and most poignant release. Highlights include: - Any Day Now, the grinding, dissatisfied opening number - Red, which is probably more responsible for this band being continually likened to Coldplay than any other song they have done - Newborn, probably their most famous song and the one that is most deserving of the band's self-proclaimed genre, "prog rock without the solos" - Scattered Black and Whites, which is one of those quintessentially Elbow numbers that drifts by sleepily under your radar if you're not paying attention, and breaks your heart if you are Little Beast, Powder Blue, and the title track are also terrific, each in its own way. Read More: Rating: - Brooding and beautifulTo me, Asleep in the Back is one of the few albums that doesn't reveal a cynical formula after repeated listening. It is atmospheric, creative, intelligent and gorgeous. Too bad their follow-up efforts are not as cohesive. I still believe that one day they will blow my mind again. Rating: - best i have bought in yearsi heard about twenty seconds of track one ( any day now ) on an episode of nip/tuck, then spent several hours trying to track down the name of the band. i ordered the cd , anticipating one or two good songs, but after listening to the entire cd , i fell in love. i havent felt so emotionally connected to music since i was in high school, about thirteen years ago. after listening to the cd several times certain tracks grabbed ahold of me, namely #'s 1 , 4 , 6 , and 10.then i began to castigate myself for not knowing about this band before.they combine all of the best elements of pink floyd, radiohead, the rapture, and something else that sets them apart from any other band that ive heard . i would reccommend this cd to anyone who craves emotioal ...

Rating: - one of the best of 2001I bought this album way back in the autumn of 2001 (the UK version, the first print without the song "asleep in the back") note unheard just because I was intrigued by the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the album. Quite simply, this is the most confident and assured debut album since Mansun's "Attack of the Grey Lanterns" These songs were written over the course of 10 years, and it shows: Every track is extremely precise and calculated; every note is right where it's supposed to be. Guy Garvey sounds a little too much like Peter Gabriel at times (especially on the opening track, which could've been a lost Genesis song if you didn't know better) but at other times he has a very distinct smoky croon. "Newborn" and "Powder Blue" are two of ... Read More: |
