From Build a Rocket Boys! I can honestly say that the lead singer Guy Garvey is the new Peter Gabriel. Guy brings the same great soothing vocals that Gabriel is known for as well as really retrospective and insightful lyrics. Now with that being said I don’t feel that Elbow is a copy cat; they just know how to do British pop with the best of them. A lot of the feeling from Build a Rocket Boys! is reminiscent of youth and how you never know how fast it goes until it’s gone. The songs transition nicely and most of Build a Rocket Boys! fits well. The only things that kept this from being a 100 review from me was Build a Rocket Boys! starts a little slow and not one real song on this album could be an incredible single to me.
Final Review- 90
