This is angsty pop-rock for the smart boys. Clever lyrics, catchy hooks, and an underrated depth. One of Costello's best.

Costello's first album is also his best. So hip and fresh. This album will be cool forever.

His debut, blending an old-school singer-songwriter rock/pop vibe with the attitude of punk. My ranking reflects the extended version including a fav of mine, "watching the detectives".

When working out to this album recently I came to the realization that it is THE angriest album ever made. I don't know if it was one woman or if it's womankind in general, but he's REALLY pissed. The lyrics are even more crafty and well crafted than Dylan's Blood on the Tracks. There's a punk intensity but it's not punk. Just brilliant. I know an artist is supposed to grow, but I really miss THIS Elvis.
