Elvis Costello has received many accolades since the release of his debut album, ''My Aim is True'', seven months ago. The reason for the deserved interest is two-fold. First, Elvis' physical appearance is arresting, with black suit, black horn rimmed glasses, and short cropped hair, a throwback to the 1950's. Second (and more decisively) the music is appealing because of its starkness and the intensity of the vocals which are in the mold of Bruce Springsteen and Graham Parker. | Elvis Costello has received many accolades since the release of his debut album, ''My Aim is True'', seven months ago.

''This Year's Model'', the follow up effort tops the first album. Although Elvis still sings as if he is loaded with amphetamines, the group's musical, ability is much improved. The songs | ''This Year's Model'', the follow up effort tops the first album. Although Elvis still sings as if he is loaded with amphetamines, the group's musical, ability is much improved. The songs are somewhat more complex, and due to the prominent use of keyboards, the quartet is tighter. Producer Nick Lowe is to be commended for his effective interweaving of the instruments. In addition, Elvis is prominently aided by the group's back up vocals which add depth, such as on "Lip Service." | ||
The 11 cuts are all playable, but the standouts are "This Year's Girl," "The Beat," "Pump it Up," and "Lipstick Voyage," his most ambitious work to date. The closing track, "Radio, Radio" is which Costello sings that "The radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools trying to anesthetize the way You feel" is performed with such intensity that the non-believer is ready to throw his radio into the garbage. | The 11 cuts are all playable, but the standouts are "This Year's Girl," "The Beat," "Pump it Up," and "Lipstick Voyage," his most ambitious work to date.
