Elbow!!!

Here's a link to the song.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

What a wonderful song.

 

[u2popmofo]

As a warning, the quality of the rip in that link is extremely low, and may somewhat tarnish your thoughts on first listen, as I know it did for me.

 

[phanan]

Guess I'll hold off then.

 

[corianderstem]

Ditto.

 

[powerhour24]

Is Neat Little Rows going to be their promotional single from the album? Or is that still to come and we're hearing several tracks prior to release?

BoMac, FYI, I don't live in the UK.

 

[BoMac]

BoMac, FYI, I don't live in the UK.

No, but I suspect you just might have an Internet connection.

I could be wrong, however.

 

[u2popmofo]

Pfft, the Internet is for scoundrels and hooligans.

 

[BoMac]

Pfft, the Internet is for scoundrels, hooligans, and Elfa-bashing.

On this we agree.

 

[u2popmofo]

Friggin' Elfa.

 

[BoMac]

Agreed.

Also, for those that actually do live in the U.K.

elbow - build a rocket boys!

The videos won't play for me because people in the UK are affraid of North Americans...

 

[u2popmofo]

The second video should work.

Also:

Friggin' Elfa.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

 

[BoMac]

I agree with Scumbo.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

you would

 

[u2popmofo]

I agree with BoMac agreeing with me.

 

[BoMac]

On the video that actually works, lippy kids (man do I hate that I have to write all in lower case) I quite like it.

What do you think?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I like it - I've only listened to it a couple of times but if the rest of the album sounds like that all will be good with the universe...

 

[PhilsFan]

I'm going to hold out on listening to anything until the album comes out.

If you're still having trouble viewing the video for neat little rows, the link below should work.

[Badyouken]

Really looking forward to this one, Elbow is easily one of my favourites. Class act.

It took me a while to 'get' Lippy Kids. Somehow I was always waiting for the drums to come in, but now that I've listened to it a few more times, I have to say that it's just beautiful. It really succeeds in encapsulating youth and nostalgia in a few verses and a soft guitar hook.

As for Neat Little Rows, well, the rhythm is brooding and catchy, and the drums are great; what else can you ask for?

Love these guys.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I'll wait until the new album comes out to listen to any of the new stuff, but I'm really looking forward to seeing them at Coachella!

 

[intedomine]

They've got 30 second clips of each song on iTunes. I don't wanna listen to these too much but I had to have a sneak peak, and this album is sounding very special. Downright majestic.

Can't believe we have to wait another 4 weeks for this, gonna be hard to do.. Very excited

 

[u2popmofo]

So Amazon is still only showing Import versions available for North America in March. Are they wrong, or is this going to be like every other Elbow album?
