The words are sometimes bleak, and as a counterpoint, the music isn't bleak. That's the same structural compound I used on [1979's] "Oliver's Army." You know, I'm not being a conspiracy theorist, but somebody could be listening to us talk right now. You've got the idiocy that PRISM, the NSA stuff, has a logo. I'm sorry, there's a design department at the secret agency? Satirical literature can't exist anymore, because it's in our newspaper every day. | The words are sometimes bleak, and as a counterpoint, the music isn't bleak.

Another dubious Elvis Costello genre exercise? Actually, this collab is something sturdier and more interesting: a pained set about decaying culture long on verbose vitriol and (obviously) wicked grooves – think a dyspeptic ''What's Going On'' or a soul-powered ''Armed Forces''. There's stealth hip-hop science: Songs slice up beats and flip deep-catalog Costello ("Pills & Soap" on the neck-snapping "Stick Out Your Tongue," "Satellite" on the waltz-time "Tripwire"). But the best bits, like "Cinco Minutos Con Vos," a slithering duet with fiery Mexicali fusionist La Marisoul, dodge pigeonholes like Questlove dodges the one. It's the sound of a savant songsmith trying to impress the world's best backing band. | Another dubious Elvis Costello genre exercise?
