ELBOW, by hick on Sept 10, 2008 8:57:07 GMT 1, I went last night , just don't get Elbow. should've been Burial I agree, I think it was given to Elbow for 17 years of hard slog and little reward. but that is an uninspring record imo but then it has the capacity to sell another 100000 between now and christmas and our industry needs sales !

ELBOW, by artyfarty on Sept 10, 2008 9:45:58 GMT 1, A superb record. How can you say the Mercury is a load of wank? It's one of the few awards that a whole cross section of the music world give creedence to. Portishead, Primal Scream, Roni Size, Gomez, Talvin Singh, Ms Dynamite, Dizee Rascal, PJ Harvey etc have all won it and are hardly "wank". I thought the Burial was great as well but to call Elbow uninspiring is ridiculous. It's a profound, moving, huge record that deserves to be listened to by a wider audience. Long live the Mercury and long live Elbow. RIP Bryan Glancey.

ELBOW, by bmjt on Sept 10, 2008 10:17:30 GMT 1, Sorry, it is wank, regardless of the spectrum it allows, some of the previous winners have been shockers. A panel which has included Jo Wiley and Edith Bowman needs little attention (please correct me if I'm wrong here). I wouldn't even put Elbow in the top 5. I listened to it a few times and disregarded it i'm afraid.
Edit: I far from hate Elbow btw, Powder Blue is one of my favourite songs of all time, felt last few albums were real let-downs.
P.S. Antony + the Johnsons are incredible, fair play they got that one right. M-People, not.

don't mind elbow at all but don't think they were worthy winners.

I quite like them really, the sound almost reminds me of the Phil Spector wall of sound (which i remember ). I cannot understand a word of what they say though but that doesnt matter i suppose.

I've been trying to listen to the glasvegas album this week, but i'm finding it a load of boring shite in all honesty.
I think M.I.A. should have won the mercury.

what he said Elbow album is amazing...sure it's not groundbreaking, but it's an incredible piece of work.
There were some good albums nominated this year, and whilst I Burial, Laura Marling, & Radiohead were also worthy of winning, Elbow was the right choice.
...I'm still smarting from Klaxons last year though...what a load of wank that was

ELBOW, by slowmo on Sept 10, 2008 22:20:14 GMT 1, I can give a nice unbiased view on this. I knew not who was nominated for the mercury prize. I knew very little about elbow.
For my birthday I was bought this album. Its alright, quite boring though, every song sounded the same. I found out today that apparently in rainbows was in the mix. Dont know much about who else was up for this prize, in fact know nothing about burial, but over anything I have heard in about the last 2 years (I have noticed a massive decline in the music I buy over this period) I would have given this to Radiohead, such a return to form.
