I've never really cared for Elvis Costello, but lately I've been giving him another shot and for some reason the title and cover art of this one -- as well as the reviews I'd read saying this was an atypical effort from him that critics and fans who revere My Aim is True, Get Happy, etc don't tend to like -- appealed to me. I'm glad I decided to check it out, and I'm glad I did. Also discovered that one of my favorite producers, the musical genius Mitchell Froom, was at the helm for it (in addition to playing a bunch of instruments), and he's done his usual brilliant work. Costello has written some fantastic songs and some absolutely wonderful lyrics -- frequently very pessimistic and scathing, as others have commented. I think this is going to be one that I come back to a lot over the next few months.
