I actually think this is the worst Elvis Costello album I've ever heard

Absolutely hell yes

Crisp and excellently written pop-punk. I made fun of this kind of music so relentlessly when it first came out, and now I really just appreciate “good tunes.” I do think some of the political/concept album stuff is still pretty cheesy and think the horrible musical nullifies some of its legacy. The gulf of quality between singles and the rest is pretty noticeable for me, too.

Somehow, this record makes James Brown seem kind of "generic and boring"! What in the world!

Yes, I totally get it

Not for me!

Totally get it, just not my cuppa

I totally get it

Fun enough, I guess!

Decent enough!

Really great rock and roll record! Some of it's a bit derivative, which makes sense!

Pretty boring :(

A deeply cool album

These tunes are really cool, and the singer is basically unlistenable
