This Year's Model

Again, wow, this is bad.

Elvis Costello is a curse to this generator

Never was a fan. And still not after listening to this.

Tudo me incomodou, não consegui

once again - what the fuck am I listening to

It seems like I'm not alone in hating Costello's voice. And I don't find any redeeming qualities of the music. Nothing really interesting going on here.

Alt for masse costello her

Reminds me a little bit to Fisher Z but not as good, even the hits of the album. It‘s boring.

Not my jam. Not much to bring me in. It sounds like the start of 80's synth but not in an engaging or compelling format. Meh

Can't stand him. Automatic 1

Album no. 2/1001. Not my thing! Maybe the 70s is not my decade...

not vibe

Never been a huge Elvis Costello fan. His music always seemed iterative rather than original and this album didn’t stand out for me in 1978 (I was there)

Kann mich nicht begeistern!

I'm not a fan of Costello.

The know nothing critics poster boy, elvis costello, underwhelms on this sophomore effort. I’ll be fair, I don’t want to go to Chelsea is a terrific song. But even Ed Sheeran writes good ones occasionally. In my Creedence review, I wondered how John Fogerty might have gone with a better band. It’s the opposite here. Had the Attractions been with a better songwriter and guitarist might we have got the transcendent album it seems the Thomas's and Steve Nieve had in them? Meanwhile, mogadon is available in a musical form. Just hit play here. 1.5 stars, just because I don’t wanna go to Chelsea is worth a listen. Rounded down because the album is nowhere near 'good' let alone anywhere near as good as it thinks it is.

This was a pretty boring album. There weren't any horribly offensive songs, but there also wasn't a single song that stood out. While thinking back on the album, there honestly isn't a single song that I can remember, it was all so forgettable.

Super annoying

Well that what a waste of my time All the songs feel like an 80s/90s movie that needs to fill minutes and they play a mix of idiotic scenes (washing the car, making breakfast and the toast falling on the floor, that kind of shit)

Very boring. Dislike the genre

surely this is a joke

Couldn't finish it, great instrumentation and he has a good voice. Just for me it's a really annoying voice.

I don't care for it, and I won't respond to it.

meh not my style

I mean technically this is fine I guess. It's cohesive enough, but then, what would you expect from the 1,001 albums list? Elvis Costello doesn't hold back vocally or anything, and I guess some of his lyrics are kind of clever. But I just found him very pretentious and the whole thing super cheesy. Costello reckons he's an alpha or something. I liked "Radio Radio," though, which I was disappointed to find out wasn't even on the original release. A good commentary on media censorship, although the hook at the end went on too long and got on my nerves, just like every other hook on this album. It kind of weakened the message just a little for me. My first 1 star. I almost gave it 2 for "Radio Radio," but decided that wouldn't be fair as even that one good song couldn't make me enjoy the album as much as I enjoyed the other albums I've rated 2 stars. Favourite track: Radio Radio

My espectation were not very high for this album, i have to admitted that it suprise me, "Pump it up" really worth the listening, no action is allright, this years girl is good and the rest of the songs are mid in my opinion. Its a very new wavy kind off album, a bit more "groovy" and more pop than other bands a the same times (Pretenders, Clash, Blondie ect), but still with punk rock et pop rock influences and i respect that. anyway i guess it deserve its place here, but i'm not sure its reallty the masterpiece critics have describe it.

Alt for masse costello her

not a fan of his voice :(

Wow, I actively dislike his singing voice.

Ugh. Just no. This is a bad album, and should not be on any list of good albums. 1/5

ass

If someone could let the the developer know that there should be a .5 star option, that would be great.

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

Boring

I legitimately had a hard time not turning this off. First song that wasn't horrible was (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea. Alright I had this on random. Maybe it just played the worst songs first. The Beat wasn't so bad.

Not happy to be seeing another Costello on this list. Not happy that this is our Monday album. At least it's out of the way already... It's all up from here!

Ik heb echt precies niks met Elvis Costello. Geprobeerd te luisteren tijdens werk voor stage, maar zijn stem in mijn oren bezorgt mij kippenvel (en nee niet the good kind).

Echt onluisterbaar. Besef deze man staat er zes keer in

There's an hour of my life I'll never get back. Pure drivel of samey flat toned whining. The only track I could tolerate was Pump it Up, but that was only because I knew it better when Ozzy band Rogue Traders sampled it on their track Voodoo Child.

Sanantoisto poppia

plz stop w the elvis

Rob Schneider is… a carrot

Idk why i hate this

elvis chante comme une tantouze contrariée

i don't get the appeal

meh

Highlights: Artwork: 6,5 / 10 Rating: 1,5 / 10

I can't.

Solidly not my kind of music. Simple and repetitive melodies, off tune singing, a perpetual rushing feeling. Maybe in a 1980s dance hall this would hit, but not on my speakers in 2020s. Highlights: Pump it Up, Little Triggers

I did not enjoy this album primarily due to the singer's voice. I liked the backing track to most of the songs, but the voice made the songs so off putting that I wanted to skip most of them. Favorite Track: The Beat

Yeah it's pretty cool and all to hear proto ska, but I cannot stand Elvis' voice. I enjoy the organ/keys that come in all the time, but there's not a whole lot to enjoy about this album other than it exists. Highlights: 1, and 4.

not my thing

Not excited by this Elvis. He would be a hit at a prom or bar but nothing struck a chord in me . Sorry Costello 😔 the other Elvis wins by a long shot

Similar to Kill the Young. Most songs sound too same and too up-beat

Eh not feeling it

Eh, this just didn’t do anything for me.

Gar nicht mal so gut. Eines der 5 Lieblingsalben von Robert Smith, lese ich im Wikipedia-Artikel. Kein Wunder, dass ich The Cure ebenso bedeutungslos finde wie dieses Machwerk. Ein ganz und gar überflüssiges Album. Bitte nie wieder.

meh

Is this the original prep music?
