The theme of disillusionment with life is overriding in ''Punch the Clock'', but the real story of the album is in the well-crafted songs. Costello has written perhaps some of his most easy-listening songs, which is not to say his best songs. The highlight of the album is the FM-oriented song, "Everyday I Write the Book." "Let Them Talk," "The Finest Thing," "Element Within Her." "Shipbuilding," "Love Went Mad," "T.K.O.," "Mouth Almighty" are all songs of some merit and all contribute to the overall easy-listening format of the album. | The theme of disillusionment with life is overriding in ''Punch the Clock'', but the real story of the album is in the well-crafted songs.

Although not his best work, ''Punch the Clock'' is still an album of considerable force. Costello has written an album distinguished by an easy listening tone with a rough theme of disenchantment. Give it a listen. | Although not his best work, ''Punch the Clock'' is still an album of considerable force.
