The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow

This album does not begin strong. It gives off "rom-com sad scene" vibes in the beginning. The songs grew on me a bit however; they eventually grew to being more of a "dystopian movie" kinda vibe. It's still not my cup of tea, but it's at least dramatic and large in a cliche kinda way. The mixing is oddly bad to convey this, though. I was looking for huge, immersive soundscapes that made me think of skyscrapers, but the songs felt like they were coming out of a gramophone at times. The singer's voice was good and kept me engaged, but the rest of the album's qualities were lacking. Favorite track: The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver
