Tilly- whats the Elbow album like?

Tillybean

I have listened to it about 3 or 4 times now, and each time I like it a little bit more, but it's not that great, in my opinion. A couple of amazing tracks and the rest is a bit "blah" - almost verging on mediocre.

Will keep listening though as I hope it grows on me.

Lyrically good, sound is good, but it seems to be missing the connection that I had with other stuff of theirs.

I treated myself to this earlier in the year : http://www.thealbumclub.com/concept.php

The Dean

It isn't as good as 'The Seldom Seen Kid'.

But then again, what is?

These I have picked up also and are excellent. Also add to the list

Darwin Deez - Darwin Deez
Manchester Orchestra - Simple Math

the_red_sheep

Good album, and the older ones are also worth a listen

Anything by The Joy Formidable is worth a listen.
The View's new album, Bread and Circuses is excellent
King Creosote and John Hopkins - Diamond Mine, is beautiful

Also try:
Smith Westerns - Dye it Blonde
Wild Beasts - Limbo Panter, and Smother
Miles Kane - Colour of the Trap
Jaime Woon - Mirrorwriting
Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part 2
Dananananykrody - Hey Everyone

Anything by Deadmau5 if you like house music, or London Elektricity for Drum and Bass

Would also recommend the New Noise (http://newnoise.tumblr.com/) and Guardian New Music (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/series/musicweekly) podcasts.

flares

Recommend the Solid Steel podcast. Every now and then they have AV mixes which are top drawer.

Here's one...
