PatrickKSep 14, 20059Is it just me, or does the metascore for this seem way too low? I mean, there are only four reviews under 80... and three 100's. Just saying. In any case, this is one heck of an album from one heck of a band. Seven discs later and they're still going strong. I really don't think there are many other bands so consistently good and inventive.

AlexFeb 6, 200610Another comment here asks "Are they ever going to make an album that is less than brilliant?" Unlikely.

JimDNov 24, 20059Anyone who likes SFA and doesn't think this album is great should listen to it at least 20 times before giving it a rating. I wasn't all that impressed after the first couple of listens, but now I have to say its one of my favourite albums of all time. If it didn't have "The Horn" on it, it would be a perfect album.

MrsCairnsyOct 5, 200510What's not to like? Beautiful melodies with strange lyrics, multilayered sounds, diverse influences, a bit edgy, typically impeccable SFA quality control all add up to a wonderful album. The best bit? How good these songs sound live. SFA OK

LawrencePSep 17, 20059A very strong release with some really unforgetable songs from one of the most solid bands of the last 10 years.

JoeyLDec 3, 200610This is probably the best album they've made. It's mature and absolutely beautiful.

BrianDOct 14, 200510Takes a few listens, but it is certainly worth the effort. Are they ever going to make an album that is less than brilliant?

SamuelLSep 13, 200510The poor reviews are depressingly short sighted. This is an album I could see persisting for decades to come. It takes a while to sink in, but that just makes the discovery of all the intricate melodies and new territories (for SFA) even more rewarding.

RichardSSep 13, 200510A work that washes over you rather than attacks you from all sides, but all the more beautiful for it. The perfect record for those late-night hours.

BobXSep 13, 200510SFA drop the silliness for a serious and beautiful album that really resonates. Those looking for their famous silliness will not like it much. Those who always saw that underneath the gimmicks there were serious and great songs will be dazzled at what is their most honest attempt at straighforward music. A very beautiful album and possibly a career of a very expansive career.

TomSep 16, 20059A return to form after the relatively boring Phantom Power.

JohnGSep 19, 200510You just can't predict them. Theres no point in even thinking about it. So don't, accept it. Just magic. Again.

What could have easily ended up as a boring, stale record -- the sound of a band getting ready for 401(k) land -- is instead the peaceful sound of a goofy band being a little less silly.
-
Perhaps it's a little disappointing on some level that Love Kraft is merely a very good Super Furry Animals [album], with few surprises outside of its alluring sleekness.
-
Even by SFA’s lofty standards, the production on Love Kraft is little short of incredible.
