I only have Leaders Of The Free World”. Great album. There’s something about those bands from Manchester. They tend to. Mix the right amount of melancholy.
Interesting choice for a review, I suppose because that was your personal introduction to the band. To me, BaRB is the last album of their stellar run. I started listening with Cast Of Thousands. They’ve certainly had songs I’ve loved since BaRB came out, but not so much full albums. Guy Garvey has my favorite voice in contemporary music, though. So lived-in and world-weary, but also warm and enveloping. Nice review.

Thanks a lot.
I enjoyed the releases after that, too, but would agree they never fully deliver as completely stellar albums from start to finish.
