Oct 14, 2019A definitive Elbow release. it still retains the elegance of recent records whilst harking back to the melancholic, experimental edges that informed earlier material. Dark but hopeful, bleak yet beautiful, this is a truly stunning return.

Oct 18, 2019A great change of pace as Elbow timingly embraces frustration, angst, and an overall darker tone --all while remaining every bit as heartfelt and poetic as they've always been.

Oct 20, 2019Another great album, and this one updates thes angst and tension in their first two lps by adding current events, both personal and political. Guy Garvey is always great when he rages!

Oct 23, 2019In its compositional diversity and its thoughtful commentary on the troubles we face, Giants sounds like a perfect accompaniment to this troubled period in human history.

Oct 15, 2019There might be more anger, darkness and politics on this album but Giants Of All Sizes shows they are still fundamentally one of the best bands around at offering consolation and comfort when the surrounding turbulence threatens to get too much.

Oct 14, 2019Though the atmosphere surrounding Giants of All Sizes is much heavier than on any of the band’s other records this decade, Garvey still finds some hope through it all. The final three songs (“My Trouble,” “On Deronda Road” and “Weightless”) are optimistic as he discovers strength in his loved ones and friends in the reverberation of all of the recent negative events in his life.
