Pretty tempting to decry 'em as temperate britrock softies that have no prob flirting with some soaring-n-sappy sugar-cheese -- kids hugging the world, love and miracles, powerful hearts, fields turning gold when he gets a text from you know who. Shame their seasoned slow+steady pacing and clarity-clad instrumentals are just so pleasant: the delicate yet forceful grooves, the modestly calculated arrangements, the buncha beautiful tones, piano-only and string-things stickin' to occasional drop-in. Voicer Guy Garvey follows the whole steady and pleasant thing to a T; managing to never quite oversell or undersell yet consistently captivate. His (and maybe their) true moment in the sun is kinda like safe-Smiths and called "All Disco", wherein they preach that obsessing over songcraft just ain't worth it. Like, yeah, but we can't all sound this effortlessly charming, ya know?

The title-track is among the top ten, if not the top five, songs of Elbow's incredible career. C,mon, Sputnik -- let's embrace our children and display our hairy arms with pride!

Some really cool songs that the band definitely put a lot of thought into. the first 3 songs and last 3/4 songs are very well thought out and have a good deal of substance. The middle 3/4 don't have enough in them to drive the album home. So definitely would recommend, but be careful!
