Brilliant fun, catch, smart, dark, very cool. Very sorry for those that don't get EC. He's a master. In my holy trinity with Bowie and the Beatles. The commonality - eclectic. |

This album shouldnt be called "Brutal Youth". It should be called "Brutal to the Ears".
I second that |

I DIG this song! Sounds like it should be on the Armed Forces album, my favorite. Man, this tune makes my feet jump around!

Elvis Costello in a nutshell.
I like everything he does. Even the albums with Burt Bacharach. I catch myself singing 'Toledo' from their first collaboration.

Best song on this album is "You tripped at every step." Otherwise, not my favorite of his.

Ha! That is some satisfyingly clever reading. There's truly nothing better than that. Though as one of those people who love to clever reading, I am also one of those people who cringe at the sight of misplaced or missing commas. |

they will be the new-age jesuses. they will ride around in their white robes on motorcycles with shotguns strapped to their backs. beards and long hair flipping around in the wind; it will be good. |

One of many things that I'm grateful to RP for is re-introducing me to Elvis Costello. I'd heard a CD of his here and there, but never really got into it. Since Bill plays nothing but his best stuff, I've realized how much talent he really has. This is a terrific track, especially the jam at the end.

Not merely is it possible, but it seems to be our Fate. Everytime Costello is played, I feel like I'm on a hell-bound train. Fortunately and mercifully, his songs are short. |

"You Tripped at Every Step" is by far the best song on this CD. I wonder why it never got much attention.
