Elvis Costello & the Attractions

Robert Christgau

Who ever said he wasn't much of a singer? Was that me? No, I said he wasn't much of a poet — all wordplay as swordplay and puns for punters (one of which means something, one of which doesn't, and both of which took me ten seconds). But here he makes the music make the words as he hasn't since This Year's Model. This is rock and roll as eloquent, hard-hitting pop, and Elvis has turned into such a soul man that I no longer wish he'd change his name to George and go country.
