Overall, the evidence onstage and on vinyl seems to suggest that Costello is definitely slowing down. The signs all point to it — the extra pounds, the friendliness to the audience, the frenzied stage show that strives vainly to achieve the intensity that used to come so easily, the pleasantness of the new album. | Overall, the evidence onstage and on vinyl seems to suggest that Costello is definitely slowing down.
