Cast of Thousands is the second album by the band Elbow. The song "Grace Under Pressure" features a large crowd singing out a line, which is likely where the band got the album title. Some versions of this album contain two additional songs: "Whisper Grass" which is listed between "I've Got Your Number" and "Buttons and Zips"; and "Lay Down Your Cross" which is listed between "Buttons and Zips" and "Crawling with Idiot".
