This is the first release from a much-hyped British new wave cult figure who bears a strong physical resemblance to Woody Allen. Costello does a lot with the basic four/four, guitar and drum format, possessing a genuine rock 'n' roll flair, both vocally and on guitar. His lyrics are often intriguing and laced with wry humor.
Best cuts: "No Dancing," "Alison," "Watching The Detectives," "Sneaky Feelings," "Less Than Zero," "I'm Not Angry."
