How has the new Elbow album not leaked yet?
Posted by Merv on 4 March 2011 - 8:52am.
I'm really looking forward to hearing Build A Rocket Boys and I can't believe it's not on the torrents yet. I've pre-ordered the 'deluxe' version online and paid to download the first single off of iTunes, by the way, so it's not like I'm trying to take food from their mouths, I'm just amazed it's not yet available in some form or another.

Elbow guards?
More power
to their Elbow, I say.
Urgh
When you say Elbow album and leaked, all I can picture is gravy seeping out of my computer.
.
Guy Gravy??
Apathy?
I've noticed that a few of my fave acts' recent offerings didn't leak. Perhaps a new Elbow album lacks the urgency of an Eminem or Britney demo?
I'm partial to a bit of Elbow every now and again and all but I suspect their demographic might not overlap much with the eager torrentmakers/takers.
Actually, scratch all of that; it's all over Filestube.
New Elbow album.
World yawns.
Well, clearly not.
There's quite a pitch of excitement in the meeja and among people who, erm, like Elbow. Which is now quite a lot of people.
What you means is "eddie g yawns", which is fair enough but not the same thing.
The world I know
is yawning. And I work in the meeja.
Depends on
which meeja trumpet you work for. I assume it's Women's Realm.
It was Justin Bieber's birthday earlier this week...
the meeja were all a-frenzy for that - so it's no wonder he's jaded when it comes to an Elbow album.
Wo-MAN's Realm
Mr Keith.
I would advise more research before unleashing yer rapier wit.
It has leaked. I've had it
It has leaked. I've had it for three days. It's an extraordinary album. And yes, I've preordered it too.
It has leaked
But is one of the few I intend to wait until I buy it. To save a treat for myself.
I heard "Lippy Kids" on Youtube, and its stunning. I'm looking forward to it. Though as yet I don't think they've managed to repeat the early fragility of "Switching Off", "Red" or "Powder Blue".
Deluxe Version
I haven't ordered it yet, do you get anything extra?
as far as I could tell only a
a silver foil cover?
I have the regular
plastic cd case, and also the digipack, with a little bit of foil.
Appears to be the same 11 tracks on both, yet the digipack is an altogether nicer "thing"
Will have a listen after lunch
No need for torrents
Wait a few months, put the telly on and listen to the background music of any sporting event/music event/crowd event and you'll hear it all, I'd imagine.
Torrent schmorrent, come to Ireland
Hop on a Ryanair to Dublin, Shannon, Cork etc. The album went on sale here this morning (as do all new releases). C'mon over and get the REM album and Noah and the Whale as well. And, sure, while you're here we'll give you a pointer or two about how to catch a little red ball sailing through the air. But, if you're too busy, we can do that elsewhen.
Tiernan
The new REM allbum
Does every other song on it have an intro that sounds like Monty Got A Raw Deal?
Universal have done a massive job to keep BARB under wraps
or so I'm told by my mate in the record retail business.
He's bringing my copy to the pub tonight, so that's the rest of my weekend sorted.
Perfect
had it in store for a couple of days. Utterly perfect, another Elbow album basically (and for Badger King, the fragility is back in a couple of the mid album tracks - Jesus is (was?) A Rochdale Girl in particular)
I'll give a big tick to the new Noah and the Whale album at the same time, vaguely mid eighties-ish, shouldn't work but is a damn fine pop album.
Bought It This Morning (Dublin)
very good it is too
Bought it...
today as well. On my third listen now, am loving 'Lippy Kids'. Listening to that song in the car on the way home the lyrics "stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses and nobody knows me at home anymore", made me well up a bit! Stupid I know, but what can you do?!
Gah!
That lyric sums up my loathing of Elbow as surely as that 'marriage in an orange grove' tune from their last long-playing atrocity. The syrupy sentimentality is just too much to bear.
I agree..
Mr Garvey could learn a thing or two from Motley Crue's Vince Neil I reckon..

Lick My Love Pump
Or as Garvey would put it 'sweet honey lips on summer days, soft against my glans.'
We get it...
you hate them.
