1001 Albums Summary

Not my stuff.

Pop music that simply brings one to a dead end.

Annie Lenox salvages, to a degree, these otherwise cold and soulless songs. The 80’s weren’t the best of times for pop music and 40 years later, it shows.

Great album. Great arrangements; instrumentation is varied and brings a lot of different colours to the music. One of a few artists who reinvents himself over time which makes Costello an important figure , arguably the most important, coming out of the eighties. I put a 4 because couldn’t give a 4.5.

Good musical ideas, catchy tunes, one seems to hear the Byrds in some of them. Unfortunately, the arrangements are primal and make the songs forgettable.
