Based on 13 critics - Overal Score: 82/ 100 2011 record from the Manchester-based Indie Rock quintet, the follow-up to their Mercury Prize winning 2008 CD The Seldom Seen Kid. As on their highly-successful predecessor, the band chose to self produce the record in their hometown. While the lyrics are strongly influenced by singer Guy Garvey's childhood. Elbow's sound is as bold and grand as it has ever been. Includes the single 'Neat Little Rows'. Universal.
