Look, I know that I should probably bother to find some reviews, but Elbow: What the fuck? I mean, the last time that I heard Elbow, they were on a shitty mix CD between Coldplay and Snow Patrol and the CD came with a gushing, effusive note about how no one in America had heard about them but they were amazing, and they just seem to me like dying from numbness under a gray Michigan sky, and not in a good way. They were serious and drab, like someone earnestly handing me an overcoat instead of a song.
I keep hearing that the new album is great and amazing and nothing specific about what makes it so. I'm curious. What song should I hear and what's so great about it?

Ummm..sorry, I don't know how else to contact you. Lurking on Metafilter, I saw your post mentioning the "curry pizzas of Vancouver". Living in Vancouver for 30 years, I am totally unaware of such things. Where do I find these amazing pizzas?
