Elbow "The Take Off And Landing Of Everything"


Not much else I can add at this point to earlier posts ("...Rocket..." "Dead...") on the band except this album finally gave them the #1 that had eluded them previously.  Also provided their highest chart position here in the States at #83 but I believe it disappeared a week later.  If you've ever thought yourself to be a Peter Gabriel disciple, buy this album today.  Layered, melancholy, dream-pop of which half the record's ten tracks log in at > 6 minutes.



Can't put this album on to liven up a soiree but share a party favour with a friend or three and sit down to digest this as a whole.  It's a crafted slice of magic...
