Superb debut album.
This is angsty pop-rock for the smart boys. Clever lyrics, catchy hooks, and an underrated depth. One of Costello's best.
Brilliant start to a brilliant career. This is Elvis at his angry young man best.
Elvis Costello sounds the same on every album.
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".
Man, I almost destroyed everything in my room when I heard this album the first time.
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.
smart...RED SHOES,NO DANCING,WORKING WEEK...DO IT TILL YA DO IT!....love it
He made many brilliant albums! This was one of his best
