#32 | Elbow | Giants Of All Sizes
Polydor

According to Justin Chadwick: “As with Elbow’s sterling recorded repertoire that precedes it, Giants Of All Sizes solidifies the band’s proven penchant for merging the pragmatic with the romantic to craft songs that stay with you, long after the needle is lifted from the record. And while the bulk of the album’s thematic inspiration may not spring from the most uplifting of fodder, the nine songs contained therein give much-needed voice and validation to the wide spectra of emotions that currently keep our world—and our lives—spinning.”
