Cast of Thousands is the second studio album by English rock band Elbow, released on 18 August 2003 in the UK and on 27 January 2004 in the US by V2 Records.
Cast of Thousands is Elbow’s second studio album, released August 18 2003, and preceded by the single Fallen Angel. As is customary with Elbow’s earlier albums, a bonus disc was completed, featuring a music video for every track, as well as the official music videos of the first two singles. Lead singer Garvey has called these his hedonistic years, telling The Guardian in 2014: The skin fell off my head and I couldn’t sleep for weeks.

Cast Of Thousands is recorded in a sparse, intimate setting, with occasional bursts of outside elements (namely, a dog, a Glastonbury crowd and the London Community Gospel Choir). It's a classic grower whose songs stand out for very different reasons. Each tune has at least two conflicting emotions. Melancholy is never too far away, but its presence can make the resolution and peace derived from these beautiful songs seem all the sweeter.

ELBOW Cast of Thousands (2003 11-track CD album including the singles Ribcage Fallen Angel Fugitive Motel Not A Job Grace Under Pressure and Switching Off). An astonishingly intense and ambitious album, Elbow's Cast of Thousands is relentlessly experimental. Having toiled for 10 years over their spellbinding Mercury-nominated debut Asleep in the Back, the maverick Bury five-piece-who were initially hailed as the new Radiohead-have produced a worthy sequel in a comparatively short two years.
