Blood & Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Melody Maker

1986-12-20 Melody Maker pages 40-41.jpg

More songs about fucking and fighting, a furious animal of a record: nightmarish, brawling, remorseless in its descriptions of love and loathing. Nick Lowe's production makes The Attractions sound like something murderous in the basement and Costello, appropriately cast as Napoleon Dynamite, is on a short fuse throughout. Costello's best in years.
