?? really gotta wonder who came up with this list. 2
Genuinely, why did we need another Elvis Costello album? We already had five of them, and this one isn't even one of the good ones. I'm sensing an agenda here.
First off I’m a huge Costello fan. I consider his first five albums to be masterpieces, but that might be because I was in my early 20s when these albums came out, they were a strong rebuke to disco, which was popular at the time. However, this album is really bad. His classic sound is buried beneath questionable production decisions and haphazard melodies. I recommend listening to This Years Model which was both groundbreaking and better suited to his voice.
Meh
Musikalsk metervare af en ringe kvalitet. Det bedste ved albummet er at det får andre skod albums til shine.
Jeg har aldrig følt en sangtekst har ramt min situation så præcist som da Elvis C. sang “This is hell, this is hell I am sorry to tell you It never gets better or worse”. Men jeg har sgu ikke lyst til at vende mig til det. Det må være nogle særligt kedelige mennesker der påskønner Elvis Costello. Musikken er så intetsigende og uinteressant at det irriterer mig. Det er ikke engang dårligt nok til at være en 1er. Toppen af kedsomhed.
When the whole album summary is just listing who played on what tracks you know you’re in trouble. Same when this list is mentioned in the summary. This album had both.
after 6 of his albums on the list, my main elvis Costello takeaway is simply surprise at how consistent his music is. this is not a compliment
Long album that got boring pretty quickly.
The gall of the least original artist since the other Elvis taking a sassy swipe at Julie Andrews. At least she can sing, brother.
It's not for me. This album would have been better if it were 15 tracks shorter.
The problem with Elvis Costello is that he spent what 20 years writing the same songs over and over and over again, the fact of the matter is he's never written a pet song. But unfortunately, he has so few standouts among the hundreds and hundreds of little diddies. He's composed over the years that they all just meshed together sound the same. Don't stand out. He's never really broken style. I mean, this record has a little bit of crunch in it because it's 1994. But that's about it.
About what I expected it to be
Although "Brutal Youth" was published in1994 when I was consistently looking out for the latest music, I did only recognize the cover but remembered none of the songs. I instantly liked Elvis' voice, but a few seconds later wondered why he didn't book a pro guitar player for recording (or elaborated more at least on the electric guitar tracks himself). Hence, the upbeat tracks (e.g. "Kinder Murder", "20% Amnesia ) sound much like a 90s school band to me. As a consequence, I can recommend the tracks without much electric guitar like "You Tripped at Every Step".
meh.
It's fine. Nothing really stands out for me, either negative or positive.
Not really my vibe
4/10
Could not get through what I assume is the insinuation of Kinder Murder (Rape and abortion?). Music is OK, some of the lyrics are painful, his voice is not my fave. this is just so damn dark. (hence I guess BRUTAL) Listened before? N Saved tracks? N Favorite track? This Is Hell (If I had to pick one), Just About Glad ⭐️ ⭐️ Didn't like it very much
Lots of interesting lyrics. Not the album I found the most exciting.
I've not really listened to Elvis Costello, though I do know This Is Hell from an episode of Gilmore Girls. I like the instrument parts and some of the lyrics, but his voice is so off-putting. And there are 5 more of these on the list? Why? Just About Glad this one is almost over. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): This Is Hell ⭐⭐: Didn't like it, didn't hate it. Saved no tracks.
This is my second Costello album. I thought I preferred this one to the other at first, but then it didn't seem to end. His vocal is annoying. Why doesn't it fit with any tune? And that's every single song. The more I hear, the more it gets on my nerves. After so many songs it just sounds like "uh uh-uh UHH uhH UH-uh-uh uHHhhh." I don't even know what the guy looks like, but I get the impression that he looks like a tosser and moves annoyingly when performing. He'd be good if he was somebody else, because the music isn't bad - I dare say it's even good in places - I can hear the influence on skater punk rock which I love, and that's the only reason this isn't getting a 1 star review. Two of his albums down and I'm really not convinced. Four to go (sigh)...
At its best, this is boring, bland, and inoffensive. At its worst, this is derivative, annoying, and trying way too hard. One or two Elvis Costello songs are fine, but 15 songs all together makes for a monotonous listen.
Ok
Uhhh. Frankly the amount of Elvis Costello on this list alone should be enough to invalidate the whole concept. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't mind the inclusion of one or two of his albums; he is talented and made *some* good music. But in the grander scheme, I have not found any of his albums to move the needle that significantly to justify all of their inclusion. The only silver lining here is that I think this is his last entry on the list. Here's to hoping we can enjoy the remaining hundred or so albums in peace... Instant is my hate for Pony St. If the instrumental was isolated it would still be a bad song. But with the vocals this is fucking intolerable. First song I've skipped in a while. The fact that they chose this as a leadoff does not bode well... At least Kinder Murder is less awful. But to my earlier point, this sounds like 20 other Costello songs on this list. Actually enjoyed You Tripped at Every Step, but any good will earned is completely thrown out by 20% Amnesia. Outside of the opener and 20% Amnesia this wasn't terrible. It also wasn't something that I feel like I benefited from in any way. I feel like his music exists in polarizing extremes, where the poles are "this is actually kind of fun" and "dear God make the bad man stop." I for one am glad this one is over; the softest of 2 stars.
Hopefully this is finally our last Elvis Costello album. Six albums is far too many. Thought he would skate by with all 3s, but I couldn't find a 3 anywhere in this album.
This is Hell is a pretty good representation of how I feel listening to more Elvis Costello. Vocals are just so bad immediately. Make it stop. I wish I had 100% amnesia. Actually enjoying All The Rage. Worst of 2's. That was not my favorite hour.
Just don't get this one at all. There must be at least six other Elvis Costello albums in the book because this one doesn't have anything noteworthy at all about it. It's a paradigmatic "this guy used to be good" album.
I do not like Elvis Costello
De 5e keer dat ik de verkeerde Elvis mag luisteren. Ik heb nog geen enkele keer de grap kunnen maken dat ik me met z'n album Costellijk vermaakt heb, wat ook een beetje schuurt. Ik geef het gewoon weer een kans. Ik zet het gewoon weer aan. Na 10 seconden: Ohja, zo klinkt die lul altijd. Ik weet alweer genoeg. De liedjes zijn helemaal niet onaardig, maar wat trek ik die man slecht zeg. Ontzettend vervelende maniertjes heeft 'ie. En dan is het ook zo gemixt dat die stem er helemaal los bovenop ligt in plaats van een beetje verweven is met de muziek. Ik kan hier weinig over typen wat ik niet al eens eerder getypt heb. Behalve dan dat ik deze liedjes serieus best wel aardig vind. Wat ik bij nader inzien ook al bij twee andere albums van hem getypt heb. Zie je wel.
Strong no thanks on this.
i always had suspicions that elvis costello was a little twerp and thanks to this exercise they have been confirmed. this was almost entirely sleepy (derogatory). the couple standout moments were such a relief.
The editor of this list said, I believe, that he wanted to highlight excellent singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Elvis Costello. Which makes it feel like an extra double kick in the pants to find things like "Costello wrote "Sulky Girl" shortly after a one-day writing spree by Costello where he composed six of the songs that would appear on the Brutal Youth album." about this record, one of six - SIX!!!! - by Costello on this list. I think I find my annoyance with Costello so frustrating because he should slot in well to the music that I like but I just can't get over it. He feels like the exact type of dude who would show up kinda late to a party and he'd be nice and all but he'd also be like "you know fun fact! ☝️ these corn chips are blue because the corn is blue, corn comes in all sorts of colors" and you're like riveting contribution Elvis, yes, we're all adults here who know about corn.
I'm pretty lukewarm on Elvis Costello as a whole, I like his singles, but did not like this, it felt really uninspired. I'd rather listen to something a lot rougher around the edges but interesting than something this technically sound and boring. Virtually nothing grabbed me in 51 minutes of music, rough going. And I read that theres six total Costello albums on this list..what the hell. Was the deciding panel literally just a bunch of middle aged white english blokes? My Aim is True is a great one but even big fans cant think hes THAT important
I hope his other albums do it for me more than this one. His voice is grating. Two stars for one or two nice songs and a few good lyrics.
Elvis Costello is one of those guys I've always heard a lot about, but have never heard much of his work. Listening to this album kind of makes me feel like I didn't miss much. I suppose he's on the cusp of this whole folk-punk-rock spectrum, and perhaps that was important at some point. By the time this album came out in 1994, I'm not sure it was saying much. Music had moved on by then. I'm sure some of his earlier albums will be on this list, and maybe they are better. A couple songs are alright, like 20% Amnesia, but mostly this just sounds like nerd rock or something. I just don't get it. 2/5
The other three albums I already listened to on this list were way better and were recorded before this one. Bland, uninteresting, uninspired.
Oh fuck off. Three more of his nonsense left on this list.
Meh
Prior to listening to this album I couldn't have named a single Elvis Costello track. I still can't. This is mildly better than the dross from the past few days but really am starting to wonder who came up with the 1001 albums. Reading through other reviews, there are 8 more EC albums to go :-( On a list of 1001 they made space for nine albums by the same artist? NINE?!
It was just so boring. And, once again, he apparently felt it was artistically important to use the n-word.
I’ll admit it, I’ve had 3 Elvis Costello albums come up so far on this list and I’m getting tired. I enjoyed the first one but I had a few reservations, then the second album came on and I appreciated the old school rock n roll sound, but his voice started to get alittle grating, and now at the 3rd album I’m just to tired of his voice. He’s not a bad singer but I don’t find his voice endearing like other “not a singer” type singers. I will say that this album once again had great instrumentals with the super vintage rock n roll sound. But that’s all I get out of this album. I only ended up saving 2 songs out of the whole album.
At some point this album almost started to sound like gibberish to me. His voice and the pacing of the songs all started ro sound too similar, mushing together. I dont hate his music, nor am I fan but this didn't land quite as well as I hoped it would.
Was not my jam at all. I like Mr. McManus' early output (My Aim Is True, This Year's Model) and a few later albums here and there, but this was way too sterile for my taste. Also, his singing always reminds me of Quagmire from Family Guy, so it's really difficult to take him seriously when he tackles serious subjects in his lyrics. It's nuts for me that anybody thought this album has a place among the 1001 I should listen to before I die.
This is extraordinarily boring and vanilla punk. This seems like the type of music someone like my sister would listen to and proudly announce that they are still cool.
EC is liked by ppl who feel they are cool. I've never been cool. EC cannot be liked by me.
this sounds like a movie adaptation of a rock musical (with an actor who is not as good at singing). or perhaps the kind of music that a fictional band in a movie would play
nešto slabiji kostelo nego inače :/
It's just fine. Not worth 2 listens though
I almost liked Rocking Horse Road, which saves this from being a 1, but the rest of this album was just so annoying to listen to.
No standouts
In theory, I could tell this song was really well made, good songs, good production. But I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'm more nostalgic to Elvis C's older songs and don't have the same memories attached to his newer stuff
Scoring this album reflects that (a) I am reviewing the album as a whole, and (b) that Elvis has 6 albums in the 1001. I really like Elvis Costello, but when there are 6 of his albums and none from other artists I love, the premium I might unintentionally give to a favored artist rather than the album, is gone. Expectations are the price of mass adulation. This album is a good, but not great, example of Mr Costello’s work. He’s a great songwriter and a talented musician. The songs sound … like Elvis Costello songs, and that sound is well represented on the 1001 list. There’s nothing remarkable on this album and I wouldn’t play it by choice. Maybe I’d come to like it if i listened to it a few more times. I don’t know why it’s on the 1001 list. Judging it as I would any other album here, it’s a 2.
picks: this is hell, sulky girl
This is fucking shit. Very annoying. Laughed at some bits 😅 bumps it up to a 2
Billy joel but worse imo
Even though I’m not a big fan, I had hopes his songwriting craft would win the day. Sadly I just didn’t find much here to really pull me through that.
1994. I'm starting to question the selection process of the curator. Seriously, is Elvis Costello really deserving of six entries in this process, yet nothing from say Cardiacs, who are arguably far more influential? Anyway, this was bang average at best, and perhaps a little dull and lacked interest. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ Average ★★☆☆☆(4/10)
Maybe it's because I was startled to learn there are SIX (!!) Elvis Costello albums on this list, and maybe it's because I (unfairly) associate his '90s output with his crooner phase, and maybe it's because this album just isn't that great, but Brutal Youth did next to nothing for me. I was eager for it to end.
There are interesting ideas here I guess, but the singing is abrasive, the melodies are all over the place and it just doesn't ever seem to go anywhere. I honest don't get it at all. Really did not care for it. I'm 3/4 of the way through it and I can't wait for it to end.
Not my favorite Costello work, and "My Science Fiction Twin" was irredeemable.
Not this guy again
Á svo erfitt með röddina hans Costello. Finnst hann bara pirrandi. Fín lög þarna fyrir miðja plötu og hljóðfæraleikurinn er solid. Hann er ekki með sjarmann hans Springsteen til að komast upp með þetta act.
this is the second elvis costello i have gotten from 1001 but i didn't enjoy it as much as the first one, at all. this is pretty cheesy; pony st as the first song is almost nauseatingly so. kinder murder and 13 steps lead down are an improvement but we're right back to it by clown strike. i like costello's good vibes, groovy style, and still enjoyed this as an easy listen, but it didn't land as anything meaningful
My feeling about Elvis was that he should have packed it in after the first album. His first was brilliant and it was downhill from there.
Don't get Elvis Costello at all. I feel dread that there are SIX albums in this list that I will force myself to listen to exactly one time. Maybe I'll finally get it at some point but certainly not this album.
Oh hey. How quaint. Another Costello album. I started off this project not knowing anything about hia music. Then I enjoyed it, or at least appreciate it. And now I'm at the point where, after 4 albums or so, I feel like I'm getting sick of him. Every album sounds the same, stop it. One entry wouldve been enough.
I'm at work Costello, give me something to actually listen to so I can stay awake. This album damn near put me to sleep so many times, my boss almost banned me from listening to this record.
Well, here’s another Elvis Costello album being praised as something better than what it really is. This came out in 94, but it’s basically no different than the music he was making in the late 70s, except maybe not even as good. I want to say it falls short, but honestly, even his late 70s and early 80s work was pretty middle of the road, with maybe a handful of tracks rising slightly above average. By 1994, grunge itself was already starting to wear thin culturally, and here comes Costello still doing the same thing he did 15 to 20 years earlier. I’ve never understood the craze critics and music publications have for this guy, but clearly, he did a great job convincing all the right people in the industry that his music is the best thing since sliced bread. Anyway, the album isn’t horrible, it’s listenable, but it absolutely doesn’t belong on any kind of “top albums” list.
ни о чем
Didn’t love this. Was kinda boring. I saw that there are 6 albums on this list so maybe another will resonate more with me.
4.9/10
Isn't there like much Elvis Costello? Like, too much? ...
It was alright. Liked a couple of the songs. Probably wouldn't listen to the whole thing again on purpose. Best song: This Is Hell Notable(s): Kinder Murder
How much Elvis Costello can one man endure? That’s the question that the authors of this project set out to answer. The answer is like, one and a half MAX
Meh
It's decent, but nothing really noteworthy. A few songs are legit bad, but most of the album is just fine.
I love Elvis so much and I also think he’s a little past his peak on this one. That being said the attractions coming back for this one gave the arrangements some of the old charm. Didn’t adore the tunes tho
He says the n word and it shocked me for sure! We saw this at the CD store and it started strong but ultimately fell off. Not super consistent album, Mr!
I can hear the influence from Elvis Costello in a lot of the music that I listen to, that’s come after him. However I think I prefer the music that’s come after him.
I’m usually not too big a hater of Elvis Costello, but really didn’t like this album too much. Second half saved the listen but the first impression was rough. 2.25/5
There's some interesting lyrics here, but musically I don't think it stands out that much. Given Costello is in the list x6 times, this one could've been excluded for something more notable. OK album but nothing more Might've given this 3* but for a fairly middling album it didn't need to be nearly 1hr long, and it sounds quite samey after a while. So it's 2*
Meh. Not my cup of tea
I only know Elvis Costello from his first few hits. Oliver's Army. I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea. Watching The Detectives. Pump It Up. All great punky songs. Then he seemed to go all mush. Some song about Roses and a fucking dreadful cover of the Charles Aznovoice song She. I've never listened to Elvis Costello since. I was surprised that this album still sees him still a bit punky. So what happened to turn him back to his roots? Same sneery voice which seems to have mellowed since the early years (although I can do without the new Mariah Carey vibrato). Just the songs didn't really grab me at all. And it suffered from 1990s CD syndrome. "We've got an hour's playing time so we're going to bloody well use it all". Too long. And not enough pull to want to give it a second listen. Sorry Elvis (you're still better than that other Elvis though).
I can’t get in to costello. Just something that bugs me.
meh bi dem albumname hani mer scho chli öppis punkigers erhofft – dem war wohl nicht so 2 schlaftablette für de costello elvis
When I listened to This Year’s Model (1978), I remembered why I was not a fan. I listened to Imperial Bloom (1981) and I reconsidered. This album brings me back to the beginning. This solo album is definitely different than his work with the Attractions-edgier, more varied-but it’s still not my thing. Pony St. and 13 Steps sounded a lot like the Musical “Rent”. There are a few good songs on here. Kinder Murder was lyrically interesting, and had a good musical flow. The ballads were very ballady, and the latter half of the album sounded like…well… him, or him trying to be Springsteen (Just About Glad). I don’t regret listening but I probably won’t be coming back. More for the Castillo fans…
Much like this experience, every 4th dream I have has an Elvis Costello jump-scare. Jokes aside, I just don't understand this fella. It sounds like the kind of generic rock music you get in cartoons. That's probably a testament to just how influential Elvis 2 is, but I can't get behind it.
No me gusta mucho
2/2
I like a handful of Costello songs, none of which are on this record. I was generally bored with this and was Just about Glad when it was over. I didn’t think it was All the Rage and I certainly would not say time spent was a Favourite Hour of this list. Sad to read we are in for a six pack with this cat.
Brutal indeed. The cutting room floor was entirely too clean here, there’s no way you can convince me this album needed 15 tracks. Pretty dull. This exercise is teaching me different things about different artists. For EC, it’s teaching me that he’s on the ‘overrated’ side of the spectrum based on his notoriety.
I couldn’t get through this. I’ll never claim to have a great ear but I found the mix terrible. Especially the vocals. Sounded way out of balance and jarring. Needed some compression or something. I dunno. 1.5
I like some of this but there is something about his voice that I find grating... I simply don't understand all the love this guy gets. I assumed after his first album in this exercise we'd be getting lots more and appears we're getting six albums total. That’s simply ridiculous. Only a select few artists/bands deserve to be at that level and this Elvis is not one of them... I don't get it. Rounding down. 2.5/5
Kind of a brutal listen. Not all the instrumentation is bad, but his voice really where's on me
Yeah, nah. I agree with the review "I've come to the conclusion that Elvis Costello is annoying." Not sure who the reviewer is but that review was written on Christmas and I just imagine that making sitting through this album that much more annoying haha. Yeah this dude just seems like an Ed Debevics character. A caricature of the baby of Buddy and Bruce that grew into a teenager on a show with no budget written by studio stooges motivated by getting promoted. Brutal Youth. Still better than Metallica. 1.5
Forgettable more then anything
it was so boring and bland, at least musically, and the lyrics also didn't do anything for me.
I know he's a good songwriter and musician but I just don't enjoy listening to Elvis Costello. Rating: 2
Started off ok, then started to sound like a parody. Not for me.
his voice must be put on surely
Ok guys, it's just too much of Elvis Costello in here. I'm not able to listen to his music anymore, my body has a pre-birth lock at around 20 songs, this is it. Goodbye forever Elv.
Talk about Brutal. Elvis Costello is 98% noises to me.
Yawn
yet another costello album? to be fair, it might as well be the first (or the only) one as I have absolutely no recollection of how a single song on the other album I've listened to goes. and I just learned there are 6 of his albums on this list in total. 6!!! the first song: what in the musical for adults that think they're too cool to listen to musicals is going on here? the rest of the songs: WHY is this here? this album doesn't even have a single hit in comparison to his other albums. it's just so unremarkable and boring. ironically, this is hell is about the only song I liked.
I see the appeal but certainly not my favorite
Well, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't interesting. Boring. Dear God. But it was better than his first.
Don't care for it
I like Elvis Costello but this album felt like it was missing something. Maybe the artist's vision is something I can't see, or hear in this case, but whatever it is, the album will be remembered for its emptiness more than it's magnificence.
This is my 6th Elvis Costello album on this list...it's a bit too many, isn't it? This album was okayish at the beginning, but it is around 4-5 songs too long, in my opinion. Some of the songs don't go anywhere. Some albums I liked better and gave them a 3 star, and one 4 star, but since it's too many albums by him on this list, I'll give this a 2.
This one didn’t do a lot for me. It’s hard to pinpoint any specific reason why. I didn’t dislike it, but I just didn’t really like any of it. Maybe Costello is just one of those artists that aren’t for everyone. I kinda felt about it the way I do Bruce Springsteen. I can listen to one or two of his songs and enjoy them, but any more than that and I’m over it. There’s something grating there that I can only stand for so long. Having to hear 15 of his tracks in a row over 57 minutes was too much for me. The length was definitely a negative, as I was ready for it to end with several songs left. Also, a lot of it sounded the same. Maybe that’s on me, but I can only recall a few songs individually from the whole thing. Nothing really stood out as something memorable or good (or particularly bad for that matter). It instead was a big blend of mediocre. Overall: 2.1/5
Didn't like it. All sounded the same. I do like his voice, but after a while you start to notice how bad a singer he is.
Downhill fast after the first few tracks. Saved by the opening
Rewatched E.T. the other day and noticed Elliott has an Elvis Costello poster on his bedroom wall. This must be my third or fourth EC album on here and I'm still not a big fan.
It started off fun, but as it dragged on, and boy did it drag on, it just got repetitive and boring. Like sure its fun, but does this of all things really deserve to be on a list for music you really have to listen to? Like the whole thing just sounds so similar that it feels like at least 7 of the songs are just the same song. Also why are there 6 Elvis Costello albums on here. He's such an okay artist, he deserves a singular album. Not 6.
Definitely a middle-of-the-pack album for Elvis Costello. Not his best.
The 1001 albums list needs to learn that post-This Year’s Model Elvis ain’t worth yer time! Also… what in the hell, was that the N-word in 20% Amnesia? It’s not, but… who in the hell thought that was ok
You know, it’s weird, Kinder Murder could be the best track on the album and it wore out the appeal for me before it was even finished. I kept thinking, man, this is a long song and then I look and it’s under 4 minutes. Too repetitive but still, possibly the best song in the album. Hmmmmm Ya well, I was right. Best song on the album. This album is bland. That’s all Bland Choice cut: Kinder Murder
The man can't sing, the songs doesn't have anything special and somehow his whole discography is on the 1001 albums list. This is probably my sixth Costello album so far and I really dislike his music.
meh, lost the saved comments, here's the dj comparing brutal with a Elvis Costello song, the CD era gave the liberty to artists to lenghten their albums without caring about quality control https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mnibauANPaQ
https://rateyourmusic.com/music-review/MystyLakes/elvis-costello/brutal-youth/246425351 He’s not even the main Elvis!
bro needs an editor
3/10 excruciatingly long, stop British people now
It’s mostly okay, it does have good highlights but someone needed to tell Mr Elvis to trim it down a bit
Brutal Youth? More like Brutal me! This is the sixth album I've listened to on this journey and somehow Elvis Costello made it feel like the sixth circle of hell. He sounds like a man angrily reading Yelp reviews over a garage band. I survived, but at what cost?
This isn't really that good. The band feels unsure of what kind of sound they want. The album as a whole is not quite rock, not quite folk. There are a few songs where they commit to one style over the other, and it actually makes sense. And Elvis's voice is slimy. Like slippery, but not really enjoyable. There's really just not much that I end up liking about this album. There are a few moments where things might start coming together, but for the most part it's mediocre and occasionally bad. Favorite Song(s): -
Based on the font used on the album cover I thought this was going to be something a little more hard and brutal. Instead it was a mix of lounge pop that is super critical of everything. This is Hell, Sulky Girl, You Tripped, All the Rage...just weird annoying critical angry sadness and at the same time reminding us he is smarter than us. Then his voice just adds to the mehness, like he can't even really singing or rock. 20% Amnesia had some hope of being better, but them just repeating 20% amnesia over and over was just so obvious. At least the song sort of lived up to the cover font! His lyrics are kind of interesting if you read them, but the rest is just so meh and lack luster, why exactly is Elvis Costello so loved? I notice his album summary is one of the few to mention he was included in this list, just trying to remind us all of his amazingness...if you remind people enough maybe they will believe you. I found myself checking the track list over and over to see how much was left, that is not a good sign.
Not feeling this one at all. Forced singing, nothing that interesting musically. There are simply too many Elvis Costello albums on this list. One, or maybe none, would suffice.
this album is just so irrelevant, the most streamed song only has two million streams and some of these songs get like twenty a day it’s mid too
C'mon now, Elvis, we all know you can do better than this. You were supposed to *border* on the obnoxious, not land smack in the middle of it. Should have left that circus organ in the attic, buddy.
At its very best, Brutal Youth just makes me wish I was listening to This Year’s Model. At its very worst, it is some of the absolute worst music I have ever heard in my entire life. But most of the time, it feels like an artist well past his prime, dragging the lake of creativity for even the faintest semblance of an idea, and then trying his damndest to make sure he isn’t plagiarizing himself from a decade before, which results mostly in self-parody, and sometimes in songs that just feel like they were written by an alien who didn’t really do their homework on what human music actually sounds like. There’s just enough– and I mean literally the barest minimum possible– to keep me from hating this with every fiber of my being. Three (3!) songs keep this from being one of the worst records I’ve ever heard, and one of them, “Just About Glad,” is only good in comparison to the trash surrounding it. The other two songs, “Kinder Murder” and “You Tripped at Every Step,” are what I would call ✨tolerable✨ aka they are not good songs or songs I want to listen to, but either because I like Costello by default or simply by the sheer force of will from the hooks, I can’t reject them outright. Everything else, though, is utter garbage, even when an okay hook or riff somehow slips in via a miracle. Brutal Youth is my absolute limit of tolerability for music. Just because you like an artist early on in their career does not mean that their later output will continue at the same quality, even when [or, especially when] they do little to actually change up their style.
Oof. Brutal indeed Shite songs and a terrible voice 2 ⭐️
The better of the Elvis Costello ones we’ve had. ‘Still too soon to know’ being the highlight. 2.5 rounded down
The idea behind this list is that it’s 1001 albums that might be considered “essential listening”. A 15-years-past-his-prime Elvis Costello is NOT that. There’s nothing on this album that he doesn’t do better on This Year’s Model.
My fourth encounter of an Elvis Costello album on this list, and my patience for him is running pretty darn thin. And honestly, I don't have much new to add. Costello's voice is goofy and distinctive (in a bad way), completely overpowering the other instruments in terms of what captures the listener's attention. It has the unfortunate effect of making all of his music sound very similar. The cons of this album, in my opinion, are shared by all of Elvis's other works. Something about his voice frustrates me, like it's in an uncanny valley between a few other, better vocalists. He sounds *kind of* like Billy Joel, the better Elvis, the Strokes, and a few other rock bands from various eras mashed together. Another problem, related to that one, is that the music doesn't really bring anything new to the party, other than some decent compositions. The style is an odd sort of soft-punk, with clear 50s/60s R&B and rock influences. There's a lot of jangly noise that, with a better singer, could have easily entrenched itself in the realm of 80s/90s music legends. Sulky Girl is a key example of Costello's bad singing. It's delivered in a sneery, nasally manner that's tough to actively listen to, let alone take seriously, for the full 5 minutes of track length. My Science Fiction Twin, along with the tracks that come after it, is also pretty bad in this regard. Actually, Brutal Youth does have a pretty solid run of songs at the beginning, from Pony St. through to This Is Hell. But it's safe to say 57 minutes is too long to put up with Elvis Costello. And any more albums from him pose a real threat of getting a 1-star rating. 2/5 Key tracks: Pony St., Kinder Murder, This Is Hell
ja, hörbar, auch nicht mehr
Mediocre at best.
Pretty lame in my opinion. It's like he wanted to be bruce but is nowhere close. Felt fake and his voice is fairly annoying. I like some of his stuff but not his. I guess it was a little catchy at times so no the worst thing.
I’m just not gonna get into his style I feel. 13 steps lead down is a saving grace but I probably wouldn’t go back to this album.
I just really hate his voice. It sounds like a karaoke bar where some guy is really going for it and no one has the balls to tell him he is making everyone’s ears bleed.
I'm now two Elvis Costello albums in on this list and I don't think I'm a fan overall. The album is fine, a bit long, but nothing overall stood out to me as a banger or song that I really latched onto. Its fine, but whatever. 1994, you know what kind of absolute bangers were going on in this time period?! Jar of Flies, Unplugged in New York, Superunknown, Vitalogy, like this year was STACKED.
Eh
I’m sorry. I just can’t get into Costello’s voice. He projects through strained vocal cords, and the rest of the time he just sounds like a muppet trying his best to sound like Dylan.
Some songs stand out, but it is a boring album.
All the songs sound the same to me.
I'm a fan of Costello, but this album was a chore to get through. Half of the lyrics sound like he woke up from a fever dream and just jotted that shit down, never proofread and immediately committed it to tape. The vocals are too much in pretty much every sense, with off key high harmonies mixed almost in front of the lead vocals. Very few tracks live up to his previous work on just writing alone. Sulky Girl and Kinder Murder pretty good.
More like Brutal Album. Elvis Costello, I've come to find out, can be quite controversial as far as musical tastes go. I'm not really a fan of his; just can't stand that voice of his (sings like a stuffy nose). Yes, he's quite talented and all that, but man I do not get him. 4/10.
I have liked some of the Elvis Costello on this list but this is really not great
Fav song: This Is Hell Some cool ideas on most tracks which are quickly ruined by Elvis Costello’s ability to sound incredibly smarmy in every possible situation. Ironically the other songs I liked on this album all sounded like him trying to sound like David Bowie, so there’s that I suppose.
This is a pretty boring album. Elvis Costello could have a better chance for me to appreciate him if there weren't six albums of his on here. He isn't awful. Kind of interesting at times. But this is way too much.
Wanging on with his weird voice. Seems to have lost some of the enthusiasm of the other Elvis Costello albums we've had too many of
Like his earlier stuff better.
#458. This is about as mediocre as it gets, which talking about this guy, that's about as good of praise as it gets. 2/5: meh
Never been a Costello fan. This was cool, but I just can't really figure him out. I'll give it another listen to see if I can find something I can get into. Right now it's a 2 star for me.
jesus, the editors of this book have a real hard on for Elvis Costello. He's. Not. That. Great. This album was ok. But why did I need to listen to it?
kinda just dreadfully boring, especially when you compare it to the many other fantastic other albums from 94
I'm definitely not an Elvis Costello fan. I haven't heard a lot of his stuff, and after listening to this album I can now say that I'm not a fan. I was bored throughout, and it all sounded so samey to me
Elvis Costello really likes to repeat the same words over and over again in his songs, kinda forcing the ear worm. There's some pretty funky sections in 13 Steps Lead Down. However, falls victim again to saying the same words over and over again. Elvis' voice really doesn't stray away. He has a typical sound that persists in all of his songs. I like the band more than the singer, and I'd like to hear more from them. I think I'd like Elvis' music more if I didn't have to listen to an entire album of it.
Geht so.
Kam ich gar nicht rein in den Gesangs Stil
I can't say I've ever listened to Elvis Costello... He doesn't have a great voice. I hate how much of a theme it is in like punk and alt music to just be a shitty singer. Honestly these songs aren't that bad, but they're just pretty bland, if he was a better singer I think I'd like some of them quite a bit. God this album is so fucking long too. AWESOME. I was just looking on SputnikMusic and this isn't even like top 10 of Elvis Costello albums... why tf is this on here?
# 377 : I don't love it, I don't hate it. I thought it was very ordinary and Quiet forgettable.
Another Costello album? Am I missing something? I thought 'Rocking Horse Road' was the standout track, the rest? I just found quite bland, maybe if I listened to him more I'd probably get him, but I don't in both cases. I would have to file this under; R Whites Lemonade or Easy Listening. Still, it's 100% better than his debut and the score reflects this.
I like Elvis Costello but this one is a little 🥱 😴
Not a lot that standed out in this one
Never heard it before and if I'm lucky won't hear it again. How on earth does Elvis Costello have six albums on this list? What a chore to listen to all 15 tracks (no I didn't bother with the additional tracks added for the remaster/cash grab version). There's nothing relevant here. Just a guy who likes chord changes noodling away in his studio making boring music.
I struggled with this album. Not bad, but nothing really noteworthy.
I’m over Elvis Costello for a while. Too many albums in this for him
Just fine, nothing I need to come back to
Sounded fine but elvis Costello doesn’t really move the needle for me
I knew the name of Elvis Costello but had no idea what to expect. This is kinda punk rock? I thought he did 70s lounge music! What a surprise. I like his voice, but then I grew up on emo music so a sneer doesn't bother me. HOWEVER, some of these lyrics hit wrong. "She should have kept her legs closed" - yikes. Also him referencing "ugly drug music" in 13 Steps Lead Down - sounds a bit like a slam again 90s hip hop? I'd like to think it is mocking outdated ideas, but I afraid its actually upholding them. Also, the more into this album I go the less punk it gets and the more lounge music like I feared.
Absolutely horrendous producing. Annoying voice. Change that and you get a "decent" album. Also, who the hell labeled this as pop punk or punk rock?
Doesn’t strike me as his best. This is Hell has always been a favourite for me though.
Yeah, had decent hopes going into this when I realized I've never actually listened to any of his stuff. Now I'm thankful I made it this far. It's just bland and unengaging.
So preposterously corny
Brutal Youth is Elvis Costello trying too hard to stay relevant and/or muscle in on the 90s' changing sounds. It's standard average easy listening from him, always falls between a 2 and a 3, this one isn't as good as some of the others we've had (entirely too many) and it's too long so it slips into the (high) 2. Six albums btw. Six.
Not for me. This has a generic 90's sound, it did not do anything for me.
Not a fan of his voice.
I just don’t like Elvis Costello
2.5 I don’t like Costello’s voice. There were a few tracks on this record that reminded me a lot of TMBG’s music from the same time. Favorite Track: 20% Amnesia
Another day, another Elvis Costello album. I wake up at least once a week and wonders what it must have cost him to get this many albums included. Brutal Youth is number 4 so far. There are a few decent tracks on here, but most of them are either boring or just horribly written. But that's not the worst part.... No, no, no. *sigh* The worst part is knowing, that there's a few more of his albums waiting for me.
This is the second Elvis Costello album I've gotten. This one was closer to my impression of his music, I didn't enjoy it.
There really isn't anything to pull me in here, nor is there anything that is unlistenable. Not good but not unlistenable.
Some interesting stuff here, harmonically. But I can't stand his sneezy, off-key voice.
The third Elvis Costello album in had in short succession, and the worst one yet, so please, no more.
it's not bad but depressive
If this was my first Elvis Costello album of the project - rather than my second in 24 hours and fifth overall - I might judge it more kindly. After all, he’s a savvy enough operator to ensure none of his albums pass without a smart turn of phrase here or an infectious melody there. But across 15 tracks it’s very hard to find anything that justifies putting this mid-late career effort on a must-hear list. 2.5
Meh
It's not as bad as people claim, but it looks like it was specifically designed to be as blank as possible
2,5
I think Ive preferred other EC albums.
2 stars. not my thing.
I really liked 2 tracks - clown strike and sulky girl. Everything else was a bit of a slog to be honest
Too long and too mid
2.25
I can stand his voice a bit more on the slower songs but it’s still pretty close to nails on a chalkboard territory. It’s such a shame as there’s some really good songwriting hidden in here but I can’t get on with his voice
Oh great another Costello album. I kept one song on here but more for the music than him. Enough of this guy!
Nothing exciting here
Elvis Costello sounds like he was an annoying drama club/show tune kid in high school that always got cast as an understudy but thought he was the best. Then he went on to project his whiney, obnoxious voice over some pretty decent instrumentals and this album is the product. It sounds like someone singing karaoke.
This album was fine, nothing too special and nothing that jumped out at me as classic Elvis Costello-
Elvis Costello has too many albums on this list
What is this list's obsession with Elvis Costello?
If I have to hear one more Elvis god damn Costello record on this list I'm gonna lose my shit. My review is whatever I said about every other Elvis Costello album so far.
Can we get THIS Elvis to leave the building now, please?
Elvis so far is leaving me cold. His voice does nothing for me. The music does little for me. I found it difficult to pay attention to this one
First Elvis Costello album. This was kind of meh. I don't take as much issue with his voice as others do, but none of these tracks were interesting. Chord progressions felt kind of basic? Sounds like a cover band at a karaoke bar, not sure why it's on here.
It's Elvis Costello, and it's 90s rock, both of which I really like. Yet I was underwhelmed. Maybe I just prefer my traditional view of Elvis Costello and need to listen again later.
I am a such a fan of his first string of albums but this was just boring, even with the Attractions backing him. None of the songs grabbed me, and his vibrato was annoying.
Some good songs but mostly just wailing
There’s a few good tracks like 13 steps lead down, this is hell, and Londonshire brilliant parade. Overall tho it’s mostly just ok and I don’t rly get why it’s on the 1001 especially since there’s a few other more acclaimed (and prob better though I haven’t heard them yet) albums by Costello on here.
For me with Elvis Costello it´s almost like that: voice - meh; music - good. But this time even the music doesn´t convince me. Pretty below average! I can't see any reason why this album is on the list, because there are already other and even better Costello albums listed.
Elvis Costello's voice is definitely among the top 10 voices that makes me want to punch someone.
Gear: Meze 109 PRO Artwork: Wes Anderson/Die kleinen Strolche Vibes Mix: Teilnehmermedaille Musik: Also\"All the Rage\" ist das ja beim ersten Reinhören nicht. Ich würde zwar nicht sagen, dass \"This is Hell\", wünschte mir aber ich hätte mindestens \"20% Amnesia\" für das Album und war \"Just About Glad\" als es dann rum war. Wertung: 👓👓/5
Boringgggggg
Wasn’t feeling track 1 but track 2 Kinder Murder is kind of a head bopper. Twelve Steps is ok. Too soon to know is ok. A lot of songs are either ok or not my vibe. I get why it’s on the list but most of this kind of music just ain’t for me.
Very meh, it wasn't particularly remarkable at all and nothing really stood out
I think some would say this could be radio-worthy in the 90's, but it is just not my type of music
not my fave costello album. just kinda meh
I just can't do Elvis Costello, maybe one song but a whole album.....I just don't get it I guess 🤷
I'm so done with Costello albums.
Not a fan
Difficult listen this. I feel Costello should have walked away after the 80s. Some interesting guitar pieces and some catchy hooks but it's not of its time and ultimately disappointing from start to finish.
I’ve reached the point of this project where I don’t need to lie to myself anymore for the sake of feeling like a phony. If the music is drab and pretentious, then call a spade a spade.
Uuugghhh, not another Costello album... Favourite songs: 20% Amnesia, Pony St., Kinder Murder, 13 Steps Lead Down, Just About Glad Least favourite songs: This is Hell, Clown Strike, You Tripped at Every Step, Favourite Hour 2/5
Hot streak of mid at the moment
Elvis Costello is the most unique musician because he has such a whiny and annoying voice. His whole persona seems to be look how goofy I am and his music isn’t anything deep, exciting, fun or unique. It’s bland. He’s bland and his whole schtick is lame. Yet this wasn’t fully terrible. Just not good. 3.8/10
It's fine, but inching towards overrated by the album.
It's just not his best work I'm afraid. It's never bad, but it might be the production that makes it sound a bit emptier to me
Elvis Costello has definitely perfected his unique brand of songwriting. Nobody writes songs like he does, that’s for sure. I enjoyed some songs quite a bit, but more often than not I was kinda bored or even annoyed.
It’s crazy how Elvis Costello can make this specific sound like rock but that isn’t super aggressive but is storytelling and entertaining at the same time. It sounds like a lot of indie rock today. His voice seems timeless as well. I never realized how far his music career goes. It just isn’t for me This album is very endearing so far. This is hell is a standout for sure. His voice is just incredibly unique. It reminds me of Damon Alburn had a baby with Anthony Kiedis. Like tinges of both. This album is alright. favorite hour hurts his voice is tough to listen to. It just starts to wear on you after hearing it for so long. Good thing it was the last song Highlights: This Is Hell
Pretty standard Costello for me, didn't push above
Rock, lidt poppet, Singer/songwriter, ikke huskbart
Elvis Costello proves that he can sing well with some of the songs here, but for others, he sings like he’s singing Stacy’s Mom. His voice can be very annoying this way, yet he sometimes has good songs. This album was pretty long for me, and I tuned out pretty quick. First song was grating. I was brought back in when the instrumentals were good or he sang well. Never heard him before, don’t want to hear more of him. Maybe I just didn’t understand what he was trying to sing about, especially on songs like My Science Fiction Twin or 20% Amnesia. Standouts: You Tripped At Every Step, Sulky Girl, and Favourite Hour.
S'alright
Very middle of the road. Middling 2. I kinda enjoyed this is hell.
Meh
just listened to the album and I'm struggling to remember anything about it. it's inoffensive, but makes you wonder why this is in the list with 5 other Costello albums when there's much better music out there
It was fine then it just wouldn't end. I want to not listen to Elvis Costello any more but now I'm trapped.
Elvis has easily a dozen albums that are more interesting than this one. I bought it when it came out and probably haven't played it in over twenty years. The CD booklet did not contain any lyrics but one random line. My friends and I debated why only this one line and decided it was because he and his handlers were afraid his "anger" sounded like the n-word, a word Elvis has a disappointing history of using.
Not sure why this is considered as one of the 1001 albums
Eh
Just don’t get it
Nothing really caught me on this one.
An incredibly boring and uninteresting album that was way too bloated for its own good. His voice is pretty ok, but can't redeem this sad excuse of an album. 2/5.
Elvis is boring
This album is too long for something that feels like its treading water 2/5
Not a fan
Something about this displeases me.
not for me, bit dull
Why do you need 6 albums by Elvis Costello in this list? This is certainly not one of his best.....
I am not a big fan of this, not my favorite Top tracks: 20% Amnesia
Too many Costello albums and no play makes Jack something something I did like Kinder Murder - nice guitar sound. But otherwise conventional and just 😴 I’m sure some one will rate it 5 but ummm no.
Pensé que Elvis Costello tocaba otros géneros y tmb que lo hacía bien. Entiendo que está página está llena de boomers pero la cantidad de 5/5 es sorprendente. HAY 6 ÁLBUMES SUYOS en los 1001. Sin palabras.
This album is way too mid to be this long.
i usually try and look up extra context for every album bc i want a more rounded way to engage with it and because often something just isn't that interesting to me, but is more interesting when i know what it does and whats special about it. not really the case with elvis costello. ppl say the lyrics r good and like it's good pop lyrics but also like. what the fuck is he talking about extremely not for me unforch
His is really nice. Some beautifully structured songs. Good production as you might expect from an accomplished producer as well as artist. But there’s nothing to raise the eyebrows. No stand out songs. It’s good but I can’t think it’s moving anything anywhere. Nice though. Might listen again.
Really nicely produced, enjoyable ISH music. Found my attention waning quite a bit at times. Another victim of the 90s trend for making really long albums just because the cd had enough space.
Costello's voice took some getting used to, never been much of a fan of easy listening music. Top tracks: You Tripped at Every Step, Still Too Soon to Know
Your music must be so much better in order to wear hats that ugly. 2/5
Not this time Elvis
I've played this three times now, and I can't say I found this particularly engaging. I think I prefer Costello's earlier material. 2/5
Not my cup of tea.
I was wondering when this fucker with 6 albums on the list would show up. This is my first album of his after 775 days. I'm not doing the math, but that feels like some statistical anomaly. I was interested to hear what this guy's deal is. Why somebody like him would be one of the most represented people on this list and what's up with every single music magazine riding his meat. And.. it's just regular pop? Like, completely unremarkable, generic pop music? Unremarkable voice, unremarkable instrumentation, unremarkable lyrics, long as fuck. Truly the perfect brew. Left kid on the album cover looks like baby Hitler. 2/5.
I've had just about enough of this yapping hound, how many times does he have to be on this fucking list. Influential, I guess, but really I was counting down the songs I had left to listen by the fourth track. Next one from him that comes up is getting a 1/5 just out of spite. You've been warned.
"You don't have to listen to me, that's the promise of free will" - you might be on to something there, Elvis.
Cool but not really.
Often thought I was listening to Bowling for Soup
Genre: punk rock Instruments: 2/5 Modern Translation: 2/5 Dance Potential: 1/5 Listening Location: commute from/to work Favourite Song: My Scientific Twin Made me feel: annoyed, 15 songs is too many and they sounded the same.
I feel like I am always hearing the same thing. Although not a pastiche, it is a bit stuck in time.
I enjoyed ‘Armed Forces’ but this album was a real dud in comparison. Just nothing to it really.
This is the fifth Elvis Costello album. It was ok. Wasn't bad but wasn't overly good. Just kind of there. Similar to his other albums.
I was reluctant to listen to this, my brain thought "Elvis Costello = bad" for some reason. It was not bad but got very boring at some point
Man this is not even close to his best. Far from an essential album.
This guy sounds hella old for only being 17 years into his career The singing sometimes sounds pretty okay, but more often than not it`s dreadful, and the instruments and songwriting don`t stand out enough to make up for it. And on top of that it`s too long. 2 stars,
I’m a huge fan of Elvis Costello. And I’ve really enjoyed discovering new albums from him on this list. However, I don’t think this one is worthy of being there.
I recently gave this years model 5 stars. I don’t think this album lives up to that masterpiece or even armed forces which I gave 4 stars. It’s not a bad album but given those two are already on the list, I don’t think this needs to be here. Hence 2 stars.
I know Elvis is really well respected singer songwriter, but I've never really known why. This albumm hasn't really answered that question. It shows some hints, but mostly the whole thing kind of passed me by.
En tiedä - kakkosen ja kolmosen välis
I did not enjoy this. I’m not entirely sure why, but I think it’s mostly the vocals. Something about it just rubbed me the wrong way at the time I listened to it, and I felt actively irritated. When “This is Hell” came on, it felt like a perfect expression of my feelings toward this album. Being charitable, there’s some interesting variety music-wise that saves it from a 1, but that’s the score my heart wanted to give at the time…
Jag tror att vissa låtar är bättre än vad de verkar pga Elvis jobbiga röst. Tex My Science Fiction Twin. Men tyvärr blir man osugen på att verkligen ta reda på det eftersom man stör sig så mkt på honom.
Ogillar Elvis sångröst. Minns nu att det är ett problem. Han skriksjunger. #1 mest skränig #2 lite roligare, men fan. Det är inte jättebra. #3 nej. #4 lite bättre. Texten är rätt "tonårig". Heaven is hell in reverse? Ooooook. #5 meh #6 6 låtar in. 5 och ett halvt album kvar! #7 nej, den lugna låten är inte så bra heller #8 värsta(bästa) exemplet på hans jobbiga sångröst #9 det är rätt trist. Tekniskt sett är det musik, men det är ingen melodi. Rytm och skrik. #10 #11 har laserljud! Pew Pew. #12 #13 #14 #15 Ingen låt sticker ut. Vad är ECs storhet? Musiken är enkel, rösten är fruktansvärd, texterna imponerar inte. Hoppas detta är hans sämsta av SEX album han har på listan. Inte undra på att man inte lyssnat på EC förut, eller att han aldrig förekommer bland" klassiska" låtar man gärna spelar på fest/umgänge.
Gillade den inte alls efter första lyssningen, men den växte lite vid den andra. Soundet, sången och kvaliteten generellt osar dock för mycket fritidsgårdsband.
I find his vocal affectation really annoying. Otherwise the music is fine. Rating 2.4.
This is like the GoBots's version of Bruce Springsteen.
I do not care for this album
Stop giving me Costello albums dangit
The writing is mainly solid but it’s nowhere near as interesting as some of Costello’s earlier albums, and his voice is more annoying on this one as well. It also seems very dated for a 1994 record, especially considering the wealth of albums from that year that are far more influential and of their time but did not make the list: Let Love In, Bee Thousand, Blowout Comb, Chocolate and Cheese, Resurrection, WEEZER
I know Elvis Costello can write songs I like, but there was nothing on this record I connected with. Best Song(s): N/A Listen Again: No
I don’t get it. I find his voice annoying, lyrics pretentious and most songs boring. A few bops tho
There are a few moments that have nice harmonies but man this is really not for me. Not looking forward to 5 more of his albums in this project 🥲. Favorite track: Sulky Girl
I dont get really along with elvis costello. Didnt hold my attention during the whole listen. it was alright but nothing spectacular!
Too wordy
This album has made me curious as to what the rating metric for this project is, because this is a far cry from Costello's debut, and doesn't even rank highly across numerous ratings boards. So why is it on here?
Brutally dull.
more ass than man
I always want to like Elvis Costello's albums more than I actually do.
Meh, eipä oo vähään aikaan vituttanut kuunnella levyä loppuun. Ensimmäinen hyvä kappale oli eka mikä tuli randomilla levyn jälkeen
Didn't like him when I saw him live and still don't
Listened Before? N I just can't get all the way into EC. I have respect for him because so many critics do, but his music just isn't my style so it's going to suffer in my personal rating. I did like "Clown Strike" so that's fun. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Clown Strike
