I feel like I may change my mind on this after listening to more of his stuff but as my first time listening to Elvis Costello, I really enjoyed it

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings (95)

It's good but i'm probably just to young to understand why this was revolutionary

it's not bad

Absolutely hilarious and and a bop too

I feel like I may change my mind on this after listening to more of his stuff but as my first time listening to Elvis Costello, I really enjoyed it

It's not that it's bad, in fact it's very good at what it does, it's just that I'd rather be listening to something else.

All of these blues rock dudes just sound the same to me

The music is decent once again but every time he talks about women it grosses me out and it's more difficult to ignore on this one

It's okay because they sometimes do folk instead of country

I don't understand what it is exactly that I liked so much about this record but I couldn't stop playing it so I guess it's a 5

Imagine is the best part and he didn't even write it. The rest is ehh. I still do not like Phil Spector's "what if we made it sound really shit" production style. Also he murdered a woman.

This should be totally up my alley but just didn't end up clicking

This is a tough one solely because the one dude who keeps dropping misogynist rants into his already weak bars is very difficult to listen to. I'll still give it a 4.

Formulaic, but it's a good formula. Couldn't helped but be charmed.

Just a few too many of these albums on the list, I'm kinda over it now

I was expecting to enjoy it a lot more since I like shoegaze, but it's just kinda rough around the edges

not even the neptunes can save this slimy comphet ass album. I'm glad we've left this era behind
