Asleep in the Back Import

Reader Reviews
Elbow is one of the most promising new British bands of 2001. One might call their debut album `Asleep In The Back' a depressing one. I call it a beautiful melodic piece of art. Kick-off track, and funky single `Any Day Now' proves this. And true, a phew songs here are quite depressing (in the most positive way possible), like `Bitten By The Tailfly' and `Presuming Ed (Rest Easy)', but most of the songs here are very strong and well composed. Best one here is current single `Newborn'. I prefer the album version to the edited single version, because the best thing has been left out: the excellent instrumental climax in the end of the track. Other highlights are `Red', `Little Beast', closing track `Scattered Black And Whites' and especially `Powder Blue'. Singer Guy Garvey has a very fine magical voice, and his lyrics are even more moving. This album is recommended to all the fans of Coldplay or Doves, and ofcourse to anyone who likes very good music.
