cracking album June 12, 2008
What an amazing album from Elbow. It really has got the lot. Instrumentally it is fantastic, the lyrics are witty, subtly clever. Just a great listen that improves with regular listens. Definitely an album to listen to from start to finish. You really need all the tracks, so if you're thinking of downloading just a couple of songs please think again.
Bury's finest since black pudding. July 18, 2007
After the anthemic Red, powder blue and newborn from Asleep in the back fugitive motel and crawling with idiots from Cast of thousands,i found L.O.T.F.W to be a slower album, but it is a grower, and more often than not, they end up being your favourites.
In my opinion, I am Kloot, Puressence and Elbow are the finest bands of the last 10 years to originate from the North West of this septic isle.

I don't know how to do this album justice. It is breathtakingly beautiful, with Mr Garvey seemingly effortlessly finding poetry in the everyday. Finding the cast of a wedding ceremony on the last bus home (great expectations), giving the best description of a bouncer you'll ever hear (forget myself) or drunkenly falling for a random girl in a bar (imagined affair). The whole album feels like a story and its one I don't tire of. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The word above says it all really. This is probably Elbow's most consistent work to date, every song on this mind-blowing album is fantastic. From the opener Station Approach, right through to Puncture Repair, each song is an individually crafted work of beauty and genius, with standout tracks being the titkle track itself and Mexican Standoff.
THIS SHOULD BE IN YOUR COLLECTION!

I discovered Elbow at the Snow Patrol gig at Wembley two weeks ago. I cannot wait to hear them live again, without the talking over and with a longer set, but thank you Snow Patrol for giving them the exposure.
Other reviewers are eloquent in their descriptions so no need to repeat. I have played Leaders of the Free World many times now and its musicality becomes ever more evident. These guys are very good at what they do, completely under-rated and are a must if you like crisp, well arranged indie music, moving lyrics and tunes which are sent from heaven.
